My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 21:

Two days later, Carrie was sprawled on the hotel bed, her eyes skimming over a book on acting techniques.

As she turned the pages, her phone erupted with the sound of an incoming call.

It was Ruby.

With palpable enthusiasm in her tone, Ruby exclaimed, “Carrie, you won’t believe this—I’ve got an audition lined up for you! It’s for a major franchise, a really high-profile series! They’re looking to cast fresh faces, focusing more on raw talent than on past credits.”

Carrie perked up as she reviewed the details Ruby had forwarded.

The project was an acclaimed urban drama with a powerful female protagonist at its heart, woven with a plot that promised complexity and rich character depth.

The role was a stark contrast to Carrie’s real demeanor, posing a thrilling challenge.

Embracing this opportunity felt like the perfect way to leave her past behind.

Carrie had moved on from her divorce and her old life with Kristopher and Lise, channeling her energies into nailing this audition.

She pored over the script, the pages gradually becoming dog-eared from her relentless study.

At night, the lines infiltrated her dreams, often causing her to wake up mid-dialogue.

Before she knew it, the audition day was upon her.

The tryouts were scheduled in a hotel conference room, doubling as one of the shoot locations.

Carrie pulled up in a taxi at the hotel’s main entrance just as a Mercedes SUV glided in through another.

A crowd of eager fans immediately surged towards the SUV, their excitement palpable.

As figures emerged from the vehicle, Carrie caught a glimpse and subconsciously tightened her lips.

In such an unpredictable world, some encounters were surprisingly inevitable.

There was Lise, stepping out into the fray.

Amid the clamor of adoring fans, Lise was swiftly whisked into the hotel by her manager and a team of assistants.

As the driver accepted the fare from Carrie, he grinned broadly and remarked, “I wonder which star is stirring up all this excitement. Young folks are starstruck these days. Yet, I must say, none of those celebrities can match your allure.”

Flattered by his compliment, Carrie responded with a gracious smile and a warm, “Thank you,” before stepping out of the car.

In stark contrast to the chaos surrounding Lise, Carrie’s entrance into the scene barely made a ripple.noveldrama

Only a handful of onlookers glanced her way, their curiosity piqued as they murmured, “Is she a new face in showbiz? She’s stunning!”

Before any of them could approach her for answers, Ruby, striding confidently in her heels, guided Carrie into the safety of the hotel.

“Let’s head inside and await further directions from the director.”
