Chapter 0406 After a while, | began to suspect he was just trying to makelaugh. Maybe puttingat ease was part of his helping me? | didn’t know. By the end of Julian’s visit, | had no misconceptions that | was going to be a better actor, but | did at least feel better about it, knowing Julian would be there to supportand makelaugh.

Later that afternoon, the candidates were called into the ballroom to start practice for the show, | immediately found Veronica, who seemed totally indifferent beside Susie, who seemed so nervous she was about to shake right out of her skin. Her eyes kept darting around. She worried her hands together.

Tiffany was helping pass out the scripts for Bridget, who seemed to be handing out orders like they were candy.

Nathan took the full brunt of it. Bridget, at his ear, was waving his arms in dramatic fashion.

| waited patiently until Tiffany reached us.

“Isn't this great?” she said as she gave us each a copy of the script. “I'm so excited. Bridget says I'll have a big part.” Bridget says? Wasn't this supposed to be a competition for the candidates? Why would Bridget get to decide anything? | looked at the title of the script. Fated Love Forever.

A love story.

A love story with only one romance. Who would be the leads? “Are we going to do auditions?” | asked Tiffany before she could get away.

“Oh, no,” Tiffany said. “Bridget already picked the parts that are best for us.” “She did?” Susie asked.

“Yes, each of your scripts are marked,” Tiffany said.

Susie immediately opened her script, reading through. | did the same.

Obviously, | wasn’t selected as lead. In fact, the more | looked, | didn’t see any lines at all. Wait. There was one.

Exactly one.

And the line was assigned to a nameless character: Maid.

Since Tiffany seemed to be so in the know, | tugged her arm to get her attention. “Who are the leads?” | knew Bridget would be one, of course. Surely Julian would be the male lead. Out of him and Nicholas, Julian would be the better actor by far. Nicholas was far too earnest.

Tiffany looked atand her bright smile wavered. “You aren't going to like it.” | knew before she said a single word who the leading man would be.

“Nicholas,” Tiffany said.

| looked across the room, where Bridget had stopped giving direction to Nathan to talk to Nicholas instead. He was holding his script and frowning out it. Every now and then, he would motion to the edge of the room, where Julian was talking with Brian. Julian was frowning again.

Olivia and Lilliana, nearby, were frowning too.

As a silence swept over the room, Olivia raised her hand.

“You have a question, Olivia?” Nathan asked.

“Forgive me,” Olivia said. “I am just curious how these parts were decided.” She was being diplomatic. We all wanted to know why Bridget got to decide anything. But if Olivia so obviously called out Bridget, a favorite of the crown, she would diminish her own standing.

Bridget placed her hand on Nathan's arm, stopping him from replying.

“I can cover this question, Nathan,” she said.

He nodded, allowing her.

“It’s simple really. As a professional actress, I've been able to assess your abilities these past few days that I've been here. So, | assigned each person the part that would be the absolute very best for you to excel. These are the parts you were born to play.” | looked at my script again.

The parts we were born to play...

A maid?
