Two days later, I finally returned to the Green Leaf studio. This time, I understood exactly why Penny had given me that ridiculous quest.
If I had to put it simply… she must've known something bad was coming my way.
"Good morning, Helcia."
I froze for a second when I saw that face. Kai Brixton was sitting right there, among the executives watching the third-round auditions, smiling like he owned the place.
Who in their right mind would've expected the head of Brix Entertainment to show up at a small drama audition like this?!
Even the producer, Eric Donelly, looked completely thrown off, glancing between Kai and his notes like he was trying to make sense of the situation.
Seriously, why was he here?! Why did this evil incarnation have to sit in front of me, smiling like a wolf pretending to be a harmless little lamb?!
No matter how deep my hatred toward Kai Brixton ran—even though he had never done anything directly to me yet—I still forced myself to smile at him.
