Seeing Hazel Allison's change in expression after Mr. Hughes' words, Charlotte Allison realized that the opportunity Hazel was vying for was the role mentioned by Mr. Hughes.
Originally disinterested, she slowly spoke, "If Mr. Hughes needs help, I'm more than willing to lend a hand."
Amid Hazel Allison's nervous expression, she added, "But you also know I can't act."
Hazel Allison chimed in, "Yes, sister has no acting experience. She's usually busy with work and may not have time to delve into the role, not to mention practicing the pipa required for the role. Mr. Hughes, maybe you should consider someone else?"
Mr. Hughes was known for his high demands on acting skills, and Hazel thought that Mr. Hughes would reconsider given Charlotte's sensible response.
