Chapter 30
“Oh, didn’t you ask me to help you sell your bag online? Many people have asked about it,” said Felicity. Stella was surprised.
“What do you mean by ‘many‘? Are people really that rich these days?”
“What are you talking about? People are just excited because they’ve never seen someone with that bag before. Only a few
internet celebrities want to rent your bag for some pictures.”
“It’s only for sale, not for rent,” Stella waved her hand and said.
“Yeah, that’s what I told them. After some screening, I finally found someone who actually wants to buy it. We’ve been texting for
three consecutive days now. She asked me for many detailed pictures of the bag and asked if she should inspect the product in
person to negotiate the price. I told her yes on your behalf.” “Do you know her background?” Felicity thought for a while and said,
“She doesn’t seem like someone from your group. She wants to meet up at a second–hand luxury store. The store is only in the
second or third tier at best. Only small celebrities who don’t receive sponsorships and people who think they’re celebrities go
there.
“Okay. I’ll go have a look tomorrow.”
Felicity then put her hands over her shoulders and said, “The most important thing I want to tell you today is the new show The
Palace, directed by Daniel Wood, is looking for actors! Although the female lead has already been chosen, you know how
Wood’s works are always women–centric. It doesn’t matter if you play a supporting role. You’ll still get famous as long as you
know how to act. They’re holding an audition at the Hilton Hotel this Friday. I’ve given them your information.”
“I’ve never worked in film before. How did you manage to give my name?” Stella asked in surprise. ‘I’ve been in this circle for a
long time, Stella. I have my ways. I wrote myself down as your agent, but you can change it later when a company signs you
under their name. Are you going to go?” Felicity asked. 1
“Of course I’m going! How could I not after you’ve given me such an amazing opportunity?” Felicity cleared her throat and said,
“But, there are two things I want to make clear to you. First, they are looking for an actor for the fourth female role, and there
won’t be many scenes for that character. Secondly, Bella Young is playing the female lead.”
Stella was speechless. Felicity observed the facial expression on Stella’s face carefully and said, “We can just stay home if you
don’t want to do it. There are many other auditions every year. I’ll find something good for you.”
Stella stayed silent for two seconds before she decided, “No, I want to.”
“Are you sure?” Felicity asked. She knew that it would be difficult for anyone to work with a rival. “You don’t have to do it, you
know?”
Stella smiled and said, “I might as well be kept in a cage by Keegan if I can’t do this. Things will be even harder after I leave the
Kane family.”
The next day, Stella took her bag to the second–hand luxury store according to the agreed time with the buyer. After telling the
store owner why she was there, the store owner took her to a private room upstairs, which smelled like fresh pine wood and
sage, 1
“What’s that scent?” Stella asked. She was interested in the fragrance of the burning candle in the room.
“Oh, it’s a candle from my friend. He said he made it himself, so I’m not sure about the fragrance, but do you like it?”
“Yeah, it smells nice.” Just as she said that, the store doorbell rang twice downstairs, and the store owner
excused himself. Not long after, a woman, who was wrapped in warm clothes and a pair of sunglasses, opened the door to the
private room. The aroma of her perfume filled the room, taking over the fresh scent earlier.
“Are you the one who is selling the bag?”
