Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 515 Tension

"If all three parties agree, the lead female role is practically settled."

Winnie chimed in, "Mr. Sowle, are you gathering us here to choose the female lead between Tracy and Evelina?"

Lance's eyes flickered slightly, and he offered them a vague answer, which was likely to mislead them.

"You two are the backbone of this company. Of course, we'll consider you first for the role. Personally, I think both of you would be great, which is why I called you here."

Tracy and Evelina's expressions naturally brightened with excitement at the remark.

Lance added, "However, my opinion doesn't carry as much weight. It's up to the company to decide. In fact, the company highly values Mason's opinion. If Director Mason selects someone as the lead, both companies will undoubtedly respect his casting judgment. "Alright, it's getting late. You should go through the script quickly; I have to leave now."

With that, Lance stood up, dusted off his hands, and walked away.

Winnie glanced at Tracy, then instructed her assistant to gather the scripts.

Winona also had Jenny collect the scripts, and she decided to head to the lounge to review them.

"Tracy, let's go. When it comes to casting, besides us, only Violeta is on the same level. The others aren't even in the competition."

This remark subtly implied that Evelina didn't even qualify to compete with them.
