“Come here,” Eric said. “And Becky, come here too.”

Becky froze.

“Come here quickly,” Eric said again.

Becky looked at Audrey nervously. Audrey gave her an encouraging look before saying softly, “Let’s go. Follow me.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hence, Becky stood up and followed Audrey.

Eric quickly turned around and entered the auditorium.

The actors had already started acting in the next scene. Eric let them act in their scenes first before looking at Audrey and Becky, who had walked in.

“Why were you gone for so long?” Eric’s gaze remained on Audrey. “If I hadn’t gone to look for you, would you have never come back?”

“Second Brother, are you joking?” Audrey hurriedly smiled apologetically. “I was just about to return to the auditorium when you found me.”

At this moment, Eric finally looked at Becky, who was standing behind Audrey.

“Your acting skills are still lacking,” Eric said bluntly. “Of course, you’re still young. As an actor, you have to keep growing and then achieve the goal of improving your acting skills.”

Becky said humbly, “Mr. Eric, don’t worry. I’ll definitely continue to work hard in the future. I’ll see Miss Audrey as my lifelong role model.”

“Audrey has talent.” Eric suddenly sneered. “It’s probably very difficult for you to become someone like her.”

Becky’s face instantly turned pale.

Audrey looked at Eric in surprise.

In her impression, although Eric had always been sloppy, he was still very kind to people and rarely showed a cold attitude to others.

Audrey clearly didn’t expect Eric’s reaction to Becky.

Eric was such a smart person. How could he not guess that Becky liked him? Was it because he didn’t want to be disturbed by Becky that he deliberately said these words to her?

Audrey was surprised by her own thoughts.

“Second Brother, we all know how good Becky’s acting is.” Considering that Becky was still an inexperienced female student, Audrey couldn’t help but speak up for her. “That day, when Becky was auditioning, you also admired her, didn’t you?”

Eric looked deeply at Becky. Suddenly, he chuckled.

“To be honest, there’s indeed a vacancy for the stage play now,” Eric suddenly said. “If that person doesn’t come in an hour, you can just take her place.” Audrey looked at Eric in shock.

Becky looked at Eric in confusion. Soon, a terrified expression appeared on her face. “Ah… Can I join the rehearsal for the stage play?”

Eric turned around and said, “What a coincidence… Someone in the production team was suaaemy aDsent toaay. wnen we cameo ner ana asKea, sne said tnat she was not feeling well and wanted to leave the rehearsal for this show…”

As Becky watched Eric leave quietly, her gaze turned extremely deep instantly.

“Becky.” Audrey turned to look at Becky, who instantly returned to her weak appearance.

“Audrey… What does Senior mean?” Becky said innocently.

Audrey said, “According to him… there should be an actress who doesn’t want to act at the last minute. It’s fine. If she doesn’t come later, you can just take her place.”

Becky suddenly became uneasy, but soon, her face revealed an ecstatic expression.

Audrey gently patted her shoulder and comforted her. “It’s fine. Just wait quietly in the auditorium. Don’t be sad, okay?”

Becky nodded seriously.

Audrey returned to the stage to continue her performance. She didn’t know if it was because of Becky, but she felt that Eric’s attitude towards her was a little cold.

An hour later, Eric said to Becky, who was sitting below the stage, “Come up.”

Becky’s eyes flashed with joy!

Everyone’s eyes fell on Becky, who lowered her head shyly.

“The actress who played Juliet’s mother gave up the role.” Eric calmly recounted this fact. “In that case, let Becky take over this vacancy.” Everyone looked at one another.

Becky quickly smiled gratefully at Eric.. “Thank you! I’ll perform well!”
