The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0406

After a while, I began to suspect he was just trying to make me laugh. Maybe
putting me at ease was part of his helping me?

I didn’t know. By the end of Julian's visit, I had no misconceptions that I was
going to be a better actor, but I did at least feel better about it, knowing Julian
would be there to support me and make me laugh.

Later that afternoon, the candidates were called into the ballroom to start practice
for the show, I immediately found Veronica, who seemed totally indifferent beside
Susie, who seemed so nervous she was about to shake right out of her skin. Her
eyes kept darting around. She worried her hands together.

Tiffany was helping pass out the scripts for Bridget, who seemed to be handing
out orders like they were candy. Nathan took the full brunt of it. Bridget, at his
ear, was waving his arms in dramatic fashion.

I waited patiently until Tiffany reached us.

“Isn't this great?” she said as she gave us each a copy of the script. “I'm so
excited. Bridget says I'll have a big part.”

Bridget says? Wasn't this supposed to be a competition for the candidates? Why
would Bridget get to decide anything?

I looked at the title of the script. Fated Love Forever.

Alove story.

A love story with only one romance. Who would be the leads?

“Are we going to do auditions?” I asked Tiffany before she could get away.

“Oh, no,” Tiffany said. “Bridget already picked the parts that are best for us.”
“She did?” Susie asked.

“Yes, each of your scripts are marked,” Tiffany said.

Susie immediately opened her script, reading through. I did the same.

Obviously, I wasn't selected as lead. In fact, the more I looked, I didn’t see any
lines at all. Wait. There was one.

Exactly one.

And the line was assigned to a nameless character: Maid.

I frowned. Okay, so I knew I wasn't the greatest actress, but... to not even have a
name? I felt like I was being set up for failure.

Since Tiffany seemed to be so in the know, I tugged her arm to get her attention.
“Who are the leads?”

I knew Bridget would be one, of course. Surely Julian would be the male lead.
Out of him and Nicholas, Julian would be the better actor by far. Nicholas was far
too earnest.

Tiffany looked at me and her bright smile wavered. “You aren't going to like it.”

I knew before she said a single word who the leading man would be.

“Nicholas,” Tiffany said.

I looked across the room, where Bridget had stopped giving direction to Nathan
to talk to Nicholas instead. He was holding his script and frowning out it. Every
now and then, he would motion to the edge of the room, where Julian was talking
with Brian. Julian was frowning again.

Olivia and Liliana, nearby, were frowning too.

As a silence swept over the room, Olivia raised her hand.

“You have a question, Olivia?” Nathan asked.

“Forgive me,” Olivia said. “I am just curious how these parts were decided.”

She was being diplomatic. We all wanted to know why Bridget got to decide
anything. But if Olivia so obviously called out Bridget, a favorite of the crown, she
would diminish her own standing.

Bridget placed her hand on Nathan's arm, stopping him from replying.

“I can cover this question, Nathan,” she said.

He nodded, allowing her.

“It's simple really. As a professional actress, I've been able to assess your
abilities these past few days that I've been here. So, I assigned each person the
part that would be the absolute very best for you to excel. These are the parts
you were born to play.”

I looked at my script again.

The parts we were born to play...
