Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 73

The stage manager barely glanced at the squabble between the young girls, handing Merry a numbered ticket and instructing her to wait outside until her number was called

The first girl to audition emerged quickly, not even gracing the piano with her touch. After all, they were all daughters of high society. With a nonchalant grace, she announced, “The assistant director said I wasn’t the right fit, so ne need to test me out. But guess what? I saw Bland!”

At the mention of the name, everyone gasped with envy. “Wow, spill the tea, girl!”

The girl couldn’t suppress her smile as she shared, “Bland looks even more dashing in person! Tall and slender, with such a refined, chiseled face, though I have no clue why he’s sporting a bruise on his forehead.”

“Oh no, what happened to him? He didn’t get into a fight, did he?”

Who would dare hit Bland? Are they tired of living?”

Merry, the culprit, felt a twinge of guilt and coughed awkwardly, her eyes darting nervously towards Cordelia, “My idol won’t recognize me now, will he?”

Cordelia, eyeing her makeup–free face, assured her confidently, “No chance!”

Merry exhaled in relief.

Cordelia then turned back to Merry, offering, “Need my help?”

In the world of acting, it wasn’t uncommon to pull strings. Since Bland knew her, a word from her might just do the trick, right?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Merry shook her head, “This role is significant. It’s Bland’s first love. It should go to someone truly talented.”

For Merry, it was about the experience. Auditioning was just an excuse to see her idol once more.

Cordelia, ever the emotionally detached one, didn’t press further.

As one audition followed another, it was finally Juliana’s turn. Piano music could be heard from outside. When Juliana came out, there was a hint of pride in her demeanor
