Megan could tell that Melissa was resentful but didn't want to respond to it. In her eyes, Melissa was on par with Mia in terms of acting but less fortunate than her.
It wasn't easy to defeat Mia, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Megan was on the same starting line as Mia only after putting in so much effort.
She gazed at Melissa sympathetically for a moment, feeling that the latter was like the pathetic version of her in her previous life.
Just when she was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and flashed Melissa a provocative smile. “I would advise you against pinning your hope on The Royal Wife. The director will never accept a tainted actress. By the way, I attended the audition for the female lead just now, and
the judges were impressed.”
Even though Megan spoke softly, Melissa's heart sank upon hearing every word. She knew that Megan was deliberately adding insult to her injury just like how she did to her before.
As the tables had turned, Melissa had no choice but to accept that luck wasn't on her side.
Nonetheless, she couldn't accept that Megan humiliated her.
Immediately, Melissa sneered and responded harshly, “There's nothing to be proud of about that. You only got the audition because you landed a rich guy. Besides, the director might not choose you in the end!”
Megan couldn't help but think that Melissa's words made sense. Since it was the first time Megan attended an audition, she thought her success was very much dependent on Jake's help. However, the fact was that the director was extremely picky about who they chose.
After a while, Megan scoffed and stared at Melissa, who sat on the stairs despondently. Why did I waste my time talking to a loser? I mean, she won't even understand what I'm talking about.
