Chapter 96
He always had a good eye for talent. The people he has his sights set on often have great potential!
Fannie saw Otto and Astrid step out and suddenly felt uneasy. She immediately stood up to follow and heard Otto mention Astrid auditioning for the lead role.
She felt anxious and quickly approached, whispering, “Director, is there some misunderstanding? I thought the role of the lead actress was decided for me?”
“Fannie,” Otto laughed, “I remember saying you seemed suitable for this role, but nothing was set in stone. We didn’t sign any contracts or make any announcements. Plus, I’m just inviting Ms. Irvine for an audition. Nothing’s decided yet.”
Fannie bit her lip, “Oh, but Astrid…”
“I’m free; I’d make time even if I’m not. I’m really grateful for this opportunity, Director. I won’t let you down.” Astrid smiled, then turned to Fannie. “Ms. Santos, I can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for you giving me this chance, the Director wouldn’t have considered me…”
“You’re my savior!”
Savior?
Fannie was lost for words.
Otto said, “Indeed, Fannie, without you, I wouldn’t have discovered such a promising newcomer…”
Promising newcomer?
Fannie felt like she was about to lose it.
Her father was in trouble; she had broken off Starlight Entertainment and was about to sign with Vista Visual. However, Dale had labeled her as a blocked artist from Starlight, so Vista Visual backed out.
