"Never thought this would happen, huh?" Blake chuckled, his eyes twinkling with enthusiasm. "It was the producers, actually. They saw your demo reel from the last project you worked on and they were the ones who suggested it." The last project being the one Sherilyn had just finished dubbing.

Sherilyn blinked in surprise. Was that really how it happened?

"Well, that's fantastic news," Blake winked at her. "Go home, dive into the script, and really get into the head of the lead role. Make sure you knock the audition out of the park."

Seeing her still somewhat dazed, he gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"Don't sweat it too much. You've had a taste of it already, and honestly, this industry isn't as tough as it seems. Just focus on your acting and you'll do fine."

Despite the sudden and unexpected opportunity, now that she had made her way into the industry and this chance was laid out in front of her, backing out without reason was out of the question.

"I understand," Sherilyn finally nodded. "Thanks, Blake."

"No worries. I've got some other things to take care of..."

Sherilyn got the hint, "Then I won't keep you. I'll be on my way."

"Alright."

As Sherilyn left the small meeting room and headed out, she didn't notice Karol stepping out from around a corner, watching her leave with a complex expression. "Lucky her."

Compared to Sherilyn, who was just a newcomer and had only been in one show, she was now being considered for a leading role?

Meanwhile, Karol had been with Nexus Media Group for two years and was still stuck in supporting roles.

In the end, it was all because she had Gilbert's support...

But the person Gilbert was supposed to be promoting was supposed to be her!

It was Sherilyn's sudden appearance that had diverted his attention away from her!

...

Jenna was getting stronger by the day.

Her appetite had improved significantly, and in just twenty days, her face had become noticeably rounder.

Eating well and growing well meant she was also feeling better.

After lunch, she would refuse to nap until late afternoon.

After putting Jenna to sleep, Sherilyn finally had some time to grab the script and settle down on the couch to read. These days, she had been looking after Jenna during the day and dubbing late into the night, hardly getting any rest. Before long, sleepiness overcame her, and she dozed off on the couch, slumped against the armrest.

Mother and daughter slept peacefully as the light outside slowly faded.

Gilbert came to take over, pushing open the door to the silent room, half-expecting Sherilyn to have already left.

Only when he stepped further in did he see her asleep on the couch.

Gilbert paused for a moment, surprised. Wasn't she supposed to be out on a date today?

Oh, that's right. Edgar's family had gone abroad to attend a relative': wedding. He knew because Yates and Edgar were cousins and he was also invited.

Looking down at Sherilyn, he wondered, how could she sleep in that position?

Only someone as flexible as her, used to dancing from a young age, could manage to sleep like that.

He approached quietly, careful not to make a sound, and gently picked her up to lay her down more comfortably on the couch.

Then, he grabbed a blanket from the

opposite couch and covered here with it. Even though the room was temperature-controlled, it was always best to cover up to avoid catching a cold. en Ebookex

After finishing, Sherilyn hadn't stirred.

Gilbert decided to just squat there, watching her sleep.

She looked so peaceful.

It must be because of Jenna's

yel:

recovery, he thought. Jenna getting better must have lifted a huge weight off Sherilyn's shoulders.

Perhaps, it was also because of Edgar.

He had heard from Yates that Edgar's family had stopped opposing their relationship...

Finally being able to be with the person she liked must have made her really happy, right?

A sharp pang hit Gilbert's heart.

Without realizing it, he straightened up and leaned forward, kneeling on the ground as he continued to watch her sleep.
