Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 541 Undeniable Chemistry

Zelena found the constant need to please the director draining, but she had no other option but to comply. Her back injury had made it impossible for her to continue with the high-energy demands of variety shows.

Reluctantly, she had to redirect her focus toward film acting to protect her health.

The two film projects she was considering were similar in terms of their production teams, though they belonged to different genres.

Urban dramas were less challenging to perform than period dramas, so Zelena chose The River's Breeze.

Stepping out of her comfort zone was already a significant hurdle, but she would soon face an even greater obstacle.

The official page for The Lodge had just announced its new celebrity guests for the upcoming season: Nolan and Polly. The episode had already been filmed and was scheduled to air over the weekend.

Online previews showed the two guests having a great time at The Lodge, enjoying themselves with the regular cast.

Zelena was taken aback. "What? Polly is on the show too!?"

Trina looked confused. "What's the issue?"

Zelena's expression darkened. She had hurried back to Quinston and reentered the field to avoid overlapping with the new season of The Lodge, but she had arrived too late.

Polly had already secured a spot!

Zelena turned to Trina, demanding, "Wasn't it your responsibility to negotiate with The Lodge for me? Why didn't you follow through?"
