Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 445

Zelena was quite unwilling to accept the situation.

But she knew that being unwilling was pointless.

Did she really want to play a supporting role for her rival, Violeta?

No, she didn't.

However, Zelena also understood that focusing on this momentary defeat would be like losing something significant to gain something trivial.

She wasn't as foolish as Hattie, who would give up on acting just because she didn't get the lead role.

Spring in Moon City' was set to develop into a major film IP, with immense influence.

It would become a massive success in the film industry, a classic sure to become a hit.

It was also one of the only two works Wade would be involved in before retiring.

Opportunities were rare; missing out on this one meant it was gone for good.

If she missed out on 'Spring in Moon City', Zelena wasn't sure if she'd have the luck to wait for Wade's 'Triple Blood'.

Moreover, this was a great chance to work closely with Nolan for eight months.

Zelena would never give up, even if she couldn't land the second female lead—she would be willing to take the third female lead.

Regretting this moment would lead to a lifetime of remorse.

After the photo session, Zelena turned to Nolan, smiling warmly at him.

Nolan didn't look at her but went to talk to the director.

At that moment, the director called out.

"Violeta."

Violeta turned her head at the sound, replying, "Yes?"

With his hand on Nolan's shoulder, the director greeted them, "Come over for a meeting later. Oh, and Zelena, please go inform Cedric."

Zelena nodded, "Sure."

With that, the director and Nolan headed into the temporary tent.

Zelena, hands in pockets, looked at Violeta and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "I look forward to working with you over the next eight months."

Violeta glanced at her calmly, walking forward and leaving a cold remark, "Stop acting. There are no reporters here."

Zelena clicked her tongue, a trace of disdain in her eyes.

The two of them went their separate ways.

This was an open confrontation.

In 'Spring in Moon City', although Violeta and Nolan are the lead characters, their interactions are complex and do not seem like a typical romantic relationship.
