Callie was invited by Dean to his apartment as they are now being paired to each other for their stage play. "Please come in and make yourself comfortable." Dean invited her in, as he steps inside the apartment. "T-Thank you." Callie said, in a timid manner. Once she steps inside, she notices that Dean's apartment is fully furnished, and it's obvious that he came from a well-off family. "Can I offer you anything? Coke, juice or water?" Dean suddenly asked her. "A glass of juice sounds good, thanks." Callie answered in return. Dean went to the kitchen to get some drinks. After a few minutes, he came back to the living room while carrying a tray with drinks. "Thank you very much." Callie thanks him, while getting a glass of orange juice. She started drinking it, as she was really thirsty. "Alright, so let's talk about your strength and weakness. Are you willing to listen to my advice?" Dean suddenly asks her. Callie nodded as an answer, as she also wants to know the things that

Leila anxiously paced back and forth across the room while she was looking at her phone. She's been waiting for this one important call that can change her life forever as a Musical Actress...Well, as a newbie Stage Actress. She bit on her lower lip as nervousness suddenly came over her. She kept on telling herself she won't be able to get the Principal role in this stage play and she even told herself she shouldn't let her hopes up so it won't hurt that much once she gets rejected.But she can still proudly say to herself that she tried,even if she won't make it at the end. "Oh,for goodness' sake, Leila! Can you please just sit down and chill? You're giving me a headache!" Mandy complained,who was sitting on the couch. Leila stopped pacing as she heard Mandy's voice. She flopped herself at the couch and scoots closer to her best friend. Mandy has been her BFF since their wonderful days back at the Performing Arts Academy. They became roomies right after their graduation and they

Today is the first day of their rehearsals. Leila never felt this good because she had long and deep sleep last night. She was able to wake up early in the morning, feeling refreshed. With a light heart and positive mind, she went to commute to the Centrum Theater. It's where they are going to have their rehearsals for 2 months, and that's where the shows are going to be held. Once she reached her destination, she found out that the doors are still closed. She talked to the guard nearby and he said that the doors will be open at exactly 8 in the morning. Leila looked at her wristwatch and it was only 7. She still has to wait for an hour. She thanked the guard and she decided that she will sit in the corner to practice her lines again. Few minutes have passed and she was already concentrating on her lines when she suddenly heard that "too familiar" baritone voice again... "Morning." She looked up and just like what she thought, it was Nate. And there he goes with his cute smile an

After a few minutes, Leila has finally arrived at the Grande Maison Hotel, where the after party is going to take place. She steps out from the car, and one familiar staff from the stage play greeted her, and escorted her inside the party venue. Leila felt like a princess who just made a grand royal entrance when she saw the people at the party, staring back at her with admiration and a smile on their faces. Everyone was fashionably dressed, they all looked amazing, and very welcoming. "Leila, darling! You were fantastic! The audience can't stop clapping after your performance!" their producer walked towards her with a big smile on her face. "Thank you." Leila smilingly responded. "Helena, I know that you're the main producer of the show but let's give the poor darling a little room. By the way, Leila, it's time for you to relax and enjoy the party." another woman walked towards her,while holding a glass of champagne. Leila definitely needs something to drink to calm her nerves.

"Alright then... You see, I was a poor, struggling actress a few decades ago, back in my middle twenties. I've been to one hundred auditions, because I was always rejected, and I really don't know why. But I am always sure that I always do my best at auditions, so that I won't have any regrets in the end." Leila started remembering the past. "Wow, that's surprising, Mom! Actually, my audition today was the 100th and just like you, I got rejected." Natalie said in utter amazement. "Like mother, like daughter." Nate suddenly made a side comment. His wife and his daughter suddenly glanced back at him, giving him a sardonic look. "Okay, my bad. It was meant to be a joke but it backfired. Sorry, girls." Nate apologized right away. "Just keep the jokes to yourself, my dear husband... Anyway, even though I didn't pass that audition, I went to my 101st audition, and finally I did it. I think heaven had a plan for me because I passed that audition, and it led me to your father and well, n
