Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter hearing Xanthea failed bid to secure the lead role in "Realm of Illusions", to comfort her, Oliver sent her an extensive list of upcoming fashion and film projects from Oli-hea Media directly to her phone.
Xanthea scrolled through the options but nothing really caught her interest. Even though there were spopular shows and potential blockbusters in the mix, none of them could compare to the buzz around "Realm of Illusions". Surpassing Isabella by starring in any of these seemed like a pipe dream.
It seemed to her that the only way to eclipse Isabella was by landing the role of Phoenix in "Realm of Illusions". Oliver broke into her thoughts, "Xan, how's the hunt going? Found anything you like?" "Yes, but I still want to play Phoenix." "You really like that character, huh?" Oliver was in a tight spot, "Even though the script for Realm of Illusions' was snatched up by Starlight Media, I could pull sstrings through my connections in the industry to get you a role. But the lead, Phoenix? That's out of the question. Starlight Media has too many top-tier actors vying for that spot. They'd never hand it to an outsider." "I know" Xanthea unwrapped a candy bar in frustration; especially with Isabella in the picture, her chances were slim.

That meant she could legitimately claim her role in "Realm of Illusions"! "Thanks for reminding me, Uncle Oliver. Love you!" After hanging up, Oliver looked puzzled. What had he reminded her of? Buzzing with excitement, Xanthea flipped throughther contacts only to realize she didn't have Orion's number. How could this be? They were supposed to be close allies, yet she didn't even have a way to contact him. Surely Samuel would have it! "Well, instead of finding a way to break in business in showbiz, you're calling your dear brother?" Samuel was inspecting a factory when his phone rang, and he was thrilled to hear from her, “I'm on a business trip. Missalready after just one day?" "Samuel, you're away?" "Xan!" "Just kidding. Of course, I know you're on a business trip, I'm missing you terribly. Can you giveOrion's number?" Hearing her real intention, Samuel asked curiously. "What do you need Orion's number for? You're not plotting something, are you?" "What plot? Samuel, why are your thoughts as dirty as Isabella's!" "Isabella?" Samuel paused at the name, a frown creasing his forehead as if recalling something. "Why bring her up all of a sudden?" trying to debut, it's normal to run into big names like her." "You know her?" Xanthea was surprised, “Well, as I'm
