Chapter 303
A faint smile played on Adrian Valdemar's lips as he continued eating his breakfast.
Fifteen minutes later, he set down his utensils and suddenly looked up. "Sophia, can I audition for 'Empress' again today?"
After yesterday's incident, his fear of cameras seemed to have lessened.
With the lens no longer haunting him, he could finally pursue his dreams freely.
Sophia Laurent's grip on her coffee cup tightened. "But yesterday... you gave up."
Remembering Adrian's resigned expression still made her chest feel heavy.
It was like watching your own child abandon hope.
Adrian grinned. "I changed my mind. Could you talk to Director Sheridan for me?"
Ever since Sophia saved him yesterday, he'd fully accepted her as family.
He silently vowed to make sure his brother treated her right.
Unaware of her new devoted fan, Sophia nodded. "Alright, one more try."
"Thanks, Sophia."

As they headed to the studio, the production team of "Love You Forever" suddenly released an apology statement.
@AdrianValdemar: Director Chen's health issues caused miscommunication. We sincerely apologize and eagerly await your return. All your requirements will be accommodated.
The statement immediately caused an uproar.
Adrian's anti-fans swarmed the comments.
Weren't they at each other's throats just days ago? What's this act about?
Must be some backdoor deal.
No way he'd last this long without connections. How does someone with his terrible acting keep getting roles?
Disgusting! The industry has no standards anymore!
The statement positioned Adrian against serious actors, fueling public outrage.
Meanwhile, Adrian stood on the "Empress" audition stage.
Director Lucas Sheridan's decision baffled everyone.
They'd all witnessed Adrian's disastrous performance yesterday.
While regrettable, the entire production couldn't be sacrificed for one actor.
The room fell silent as the audition began.
Same script.
Completely different Adrian.
His movements flowed naturally, expressions vivid, fully immersed in character.
When he finished, not a sound could be heard.
Standing center stage, Adrian's palms grew clammy.
He'd employed every technique Professor Fairchild taught him.
Why wasn't anyone saying anything?
