Chapter 142
Stella frowned. She felt like Daniel was implying something by saying that.
Then, Daniel spoke again, “Let’s dig in. We should talk about something unrelated to work now that we
finally get to eat together.”
Chief wanted to say something, but Susan tapped him lightly under the table. So, he gave up the idea.
Stella felt very bothered throughout the whole meal.
Chief went to settle the bill while Daniel went to the washroom after everyone ate.
Daniel came out of the washroom and saw Stella standing in his way.
He paused for a second before saying flatly, “Excuse me.”
Stella cut to the chase and said, “Mr. Wood, what were you trying to say before we ate just now?”!
Daniel glared at her. “Ms. Jewell, I’m sure you know very well what I meant. Why do you have to ask
me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What do I know?”
Stella was ridiculed. “You said some people would go to the audition just to mess with others. Why did
you say that? Do you think I used my connections to arrange this meal today, and I’m immoral for doing
so? Or did you say that because you’re not happy that I barged into your room on the audition day? I can
apologize to you for barging in. It was indeed my fault, but I only knew that Robin invited another guest to
join us before you arrived.”
Daniel did not feel like listening to her nonsense. He said flatly, “I don’t care. Please move aside.”
Stella took a deep breath. Her good temper had finally reached its limit.
“Still, you’ve got to clarify it to me! What did I do to mess with other people?”
She was already embarrassed once during the audition. She did not care how Daniel would look at her,
but there was no way that she would take the blame for something she did not do! Also, she could not
allow Daniel to be unhappy with Robin and Susan because of her.
Daniel was shocked. Then, his expression became infuriated. “Ms. Jewell, you should apply for other
roles since you think that my show offered too few scenes. There’s no place for a big shot like you in my
production team!”
“When did I say that?” Stella frowned. “I’ve never even read the script. Why would I think that my role
has too few scenes?”
Daniel paused. “What? You didn’t receive the script?”
Stella shook her head. “Nobody called me up after the audition ended.”
Daniel thought that something was not right. He took his phone out and kept scrolling before he showed
Stella a few screenshots of a chat. “Isn’t this you?”
Stella looked at the profile picture and handle. It was the same as her WhatsApp profile, but she never
sent anything like that.
The crew sent her the script on WhatsApp and asked her if she would be willing to sign the contract in
the screenshots.
However, ‘Stella’ told the crew that she had too few scenes. She also mentioned that her salary was too
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlow and wanted more money and scenes. She was also very arrogant. Not only did she complain about
her part, but she also kept criticizing the script by saying that it was garbage. Daniel was the original
screenwriter for that show, and it was only right for him to be mad after reading the conversation.
Stella read everything in one go before she said in a low voice, “I can assure you that this person is not
me. This conversation took place two days ago at night. I broke my phone two days ago and only got a
new one this afternoon. So it’s impossible for me to chat with other people during this time.”
Stella reached for her phone. It was a new phone, and there were just a few chats on her WhatsApp.
She was not lying.
Daniel frowned. After keeping quiet, he said, “The role you auditioned for is already taken. The contract
was signed this morning.”
Stella paused but came around very quickly. She realized that someone had set her up, and it was
probably the one who had taken her role.
She knew that showbiz could be very dark, but she was not expecting to encounter something like this in
her first audition.
