Some of the girls looked confused. Others looked annoyed.
But one voice rose above the rest.
"This isn't how casting is supposed to work!"
Everyone turned toward the girl who had shouted.
Standing near the back of the room, arms crossed, was Maya.
She wore a red designer jacket and sunglasses pushed up on her head. Her makeup was flawless, and her hair was curled perfectly. She looked expensive.
People started whispering her name in surprise. "Is that Maya?"
"The golden newbie?" "I heard her films always become blockbusters."
And it was true.
Maya wasn't just any actress. She had powerful connections in the industry, all thanks to her rich and mysterious sugar daddy.
Because of him, she had gotten a golden manager, a super smart person who picked only the best scripts for her.
Every film Maya acted in became a hit.
Her looks, her luck, and her powerful manager had earned her the nickname "Golden Newbie."
Maya took off her sunglasses and glared at the casting director.
