The Boss Went Crazy After Divorce

Starry’s seat was right beside Wyatt’s. As the owner of Shining Stars Entertainment and the investor of this TV series, he was sitting on the central position.

On the left of him was the chief director of the TV series and on the right of him was Starry, the lead screenwriter.

Even the two actresses who had laughed at Starry started to get nervous as they saw Starry on the chief screenwriter’s seat.

The actresses and actors of the four protagonists of the show had already been determined. Today’s casting was for some important female and male supporting roles.

Chief director Jackson Adams was known to be a strict director who was famous for his period dramas. But these days he turned to focus on romantic series.

It soon turned out that he was also adept at directing romantic series. With good actors and actresses, the two former romantic TV series directed by Jackson Adams had become massive hits.

The requirement of Jackson’s casting audition was always that the actor or actress did a scene with no makeup.

And today made no exception. All the actors and actress on the stage were not made up and in uniformed jeans and sweaters. What could distinguish them from others was only their acting skill.

They were only allowed to wear a number on their chest. So, the judges didn’t know their names and their agents were asked to sit on a certain position.

It was quiet in this room. Jackson turned to Wyatt and said, “Shall we begin, Mr. Matthews?”

Jackson didn’t like to be controlled by sponsors. But Wyatt respected him and he had invited him to direct this TV series for several times. And Wyatt didn’t intervene with his casting. He only gave advice, and that’s why Jackson didn’t feel unsatisfied with the presence of Wyatt here at today’s casting.

Wyatt smiled, “It’s up to you, Director Adams. You’re in charge today.”

These words did make Jackson happy. He squinted smilingly and then waved to his assistant.

Then the lights were turned off. When the room was lit up again, actress number one was already on the stage.

Each was given only eight minutes. The actress who was quite unfriendly to Starry was Number 3. She was competing for the role of the heroine’s bestie.

The role was a typical domineering lady who appeared to be aloof to others; but actually, she was a kind and gentle person to the ones she cared about.

The scene Number 3 did was the bestie trying to defend the heroine. After she finished her performance, Starry frowned.

While acting, she always fixed her worried eyes on Starry. And as a result, she was so distracted that she misread the lines. Her overall performance was not so good.

Jackson was not satisfied with her and gave her a scene of another character for her to try.

Obviously, she didn’t prepare that scene and it was a disaster. Starry put a low score on the marking form.

Then Number 3 was led out of the room and soon there was another actress on the stage.

The casting lasted for about two hours and when it ended, it was already 11 a. m.

Starry handed the marking form in. To ensure fairness, the names of those who passed would be disclosed ten minutes later.

But the actors or actresses might not get the characters they wanted. The director would assign the roles to them based on their performance at the casting.

The result soon came out and Starry had a look at it. The result was just as she expected. Then she put down her pen and had a sip of bottled water put before her.

“Do you have any problem with this result, Ms. Bradley?”

Wyatt smiled at Starry with his head tilted. Starry shook her head, “No. I respect Mr. Adams’ choice.”

Hearing her words, Jackson liked the chief screenwriter who was also the author of the novel all the more.

Naturally, someone was happy with the result and someone wasn’t. All the actors and actresses attending today’s casting were not famous. They were expecting that they could get a character in Adams’ series to make their names known to the public.

Starry took the bottle of water and was about to live. But then Wyatt put a hand on the bottle and said, “Are you available this noon, Ms. Bradley? Shall we have lunch together?”

Then he let the bottle go. It was not quite offensive, though.

Starry’s eyes twinkled and before she could say something polite to refuse him, they heard a woman shouting in front of them, “It’s not fair!”

It was Number 3. She said with her eyes bloodshot and a marking form in her hand, “It’s not fair, Mr. Adams! Mr. Matthews!”

Her agent couldn’t stop her and stood sideways as she saw Number 3 had walked over to Wyatt and Jackson.

Maybe the agent also thought the result was unfair.

As she was shouting aloud, some other actors and actress who failed to pass also crowded nearer. They wanted to let Wyatt, the owner of Shining Stars Entertainment, know them.

Jackson wasn’t angry as he heard her words. He asked her smilingly, “Why do you think it’s unfair?”

Number 3 pointed at Starry, “It’s her! She gave me a low score on purpose!”

Wyatt said while containing himself with difficulty, “Why would she do so?”

Number 3 shouted even more loudly, “I thought she was also an actress and I said something offensive to her. She must have taken revenge on me!”

The agent almost fainted from anger as she heard her words.

Number 3 was only showing how impolite and stupid she was in front of those judges.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Regardless that whether Starry really gave her a low score on purpose, Number 3 wouldn’t be cast anyway due to her inappropriate manners. Number 3’s career as an actress might have ended here today.

“That’s nonsense. Ms. Bradley !”

Wyatt remembered what happened last night as he heard the agent’s words.

Starry also felt Wyatt was fixing his eyes on her. She had a glimpse at him and then turned to Number 3, “You’re a base person, but that doesn’t mean I’m one as well.”

She halted for a second and turned to Jackson, “Could you give her the marking form of other judges? I think they can prove I didn’t give her a low score on purpose.”

Jackson was quite content with Starry’s reaction. He instantly called his assistant to give Number 3 the marking form of all judges.

The marking form showed that the score Starry gave to Number 3 was the highest among the judges.

The names of the judges were not shown on the form but their titles could be seen clearly.
