q Nan Chen frowned slightly at the sight of her.
He had thought that this woman was special, but she turned out to be so shallow instead.
Nan Chen knew he was good-looking, but she didnât have to humiliate herself like that.
She stared at his face for a full minute, and felt like she might start to drool at any second.
Nan Chen got goosebumps from his own imagination.
He had wasted enough time on the set today. He really didnât feel like watching any more exaggerated acting from these women.
As such, he nodded in agreement with Luo Feiâs words and turned to leave.
Luo Fei was delighted and subconsciously reached out to wrap her arms around his again.
However, a cold gaze from Nan Chen had her arms frozen in mid-air.
Ning Ran saw that he was about to leave, and quickly chased after him after she regained her senses.
Luo Fei freaked out and attempted to grab her arm but ended up pushing Ning Ran forward instead.
Ning Ran let out a scream as she crashed into the man.
At that moment, everyone at the set was dead silent.
Nan Chen spun around when he heard her voice but couldnât react in time. He was knocked down by Ning Ran who grabbed him by the waist.
It took a while before someone finally reacted.
Jiang Zhe was shaking as he stepped forward, âAre⦠Are you alright, Mr. Chen?â
Ning Ran sat up, her face bright red, âIâm⦠Iâm sorry⦠I really didnât mean toâ¦â
Nan Chen rubbed his left arm that was aching from the fall, and stared deeply at Ning Ran.
He caught a whiff of the scent of orange blossom again. So it really was her in the storage room earlier.
Luo Feiâs eyes were red from anger, and pulled Ning Ran out of the way.
âNot only are you not punctual, youâre also a scheming woman. Get lost!â
The pull sent Ning Ran falling onto the ground again.
She stood back up, feeling both embarrassed and furious.
âI only fell because Ms. Luo pushed me, and now weâve got this mister injured as well. Shouldnât you be apologizing instead of just blaming me for everything?â
Luo Feiâs face went pale from that, but couldnât argue as there were too many people present.
âI only reached out to pull you away from Nan Chen because you were trying to get close to himâ¦â¦â
âDonât try to change the subject. Iâve seen plenty of unprofessional women like you who only seek shortcuts in life. Youâd better get the hell out of here now!â
âI have a reason for being late. I was locked up by someone who didnât want me to make it for the audition.â
Ning Ran did not back down and insisted on defending her case.
âHaha, what sort of lame excuse is this?!â âYouâre just nobody! Who on earth would risk going out of their way to harm you like that?â âDid you really think Mr. Chen is THAT gullible?â âYou think you can just make up some random excuse and Mr. Chen would give you a chance?â Luo Fei retorted loudly.
âIâm telling the truth.â âWhen I came here, a man with a staff ID told me he was bringing me to the set.â
âThen, he knocked me out with a drugged handkerchief and locked me in the storage room. Luckily, I didnât inhale too much of it, so I was able to wake up quickly and escape.â
Ning Ran glared at Luo Fei as she said that. Luo Fei was right, no one else here knew who she was. If anyone were to hurt her, it would definitely be Luo Fei.
Luo Fei started to panic upon hearing her words, and subconsciously tried to avoid her gaze.
âEvery actor that came here wanted a chance to perform. Thereâs no way anyone would miss it willingly, and I am no different.â âPlease give me a chance at this audition. If I get eliminated due to my poor acting skills, I will accept that outcome without any complaints. But I will not accept failure due to sabotage like this.â
Ning Ran looked at Nan Chen as she said that.
She could see that this man, who looked just like her son, was the real person of authority here.
