Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172

“Me?” Stella did not even realize he was talking to her. 

After she snapped back to attention, she said in disbelief, “I’m just here to accompany Ruby for the audition, and don’t have any prior experience. I definitely don’t belong to associated professions either” 

The director cut her off mid-sentence, “I know, I heard about your background from the assistant. You are a dance teacher, aren’t you?” 

Stella nodded as the director went on, “The barriers to entry in acting is considered low. Many outstanding actors began from nothing. I was the one who groomed last year’s best male actor from scratch. He started out with zero acting experience, too.” 

Bradley Lane was known to be an eccentric, albeit famous director. However, having been in the industry for long, he had long learned how to sweet-talk and be persuasive. He said as convincingly as he could, “As much as the entertainment circle isn’t as aggressive as it was before, many people find a lot more things from it than from elsewhere. Be it reputation, status, or money, it will far exceed what you can ever imagine earning as a dance teacher.” 

Stella understood his point perfectly well. 

However, she did not think that she had to run heedlessly toward any attractive opportunity that fell from the sky. 

Not everyone is suited for the industry, and she knew herself too well. 

“I’m sorry, director. I do not think that I have talent in this area.” 

Seeing her insistence, Bradley didn’t push further. With a wave of his hand, he said, “This is my contact details. Contact me anytime after you think things through.” 

He was rather disappointed, with the supporting female role still nowhere in sight and Guinevere being so tough to manage. Now that he finally managed to find someone suitable for the role, the person in question was unwilling. 

Ruby didn’t really understand what his words meant, but the moment she heard about the possibility of Stella auditioning, she tugged at Stella’s sleeves and said, “Ms. Steele, why don’t you give it a try? That way, both of us can report to the crew together after our class! 

Stella wasn’t exactly enthusiastic to try out for the audition, but it sounded like a great excuse for returning late. 

She exhaled and said, “Alright, then. I’ll give it a go.” 

The assistant director’s eyes lit up and he immediately ran to the director to inform him. 

The director looked extremely pleased as he waved at Stella, “Come over. Let me tell you how you should act the scene out.” 

Stella nodded and walked to his side as she listened seriously to his explanation.
