Behind her, Cecilia walked over and noticed the sour look on her face. She frowned. "Thora, what's wrong? You don't look too happy."

The actress-Thora Moreno-glanced at her. "Did you know Mr. Jordan gave Lila a major female-led drama?"

Cecilia nodded. "Yeah, I heard about it a couple of days ago. Are you thinking of auditioning? It's one of our company's own projects, so a few of us were planning to try it out. Ms. Hart is directing, and she's serious about teaching people. If you get the part, you'll learn a lot."

"Don't bother. The female lead is already set, it's Jamie."

Cecilia blinked in surprise. "It's already decided?"

She paused, then smiled. "Well, none of us were aiming for the lead anyway. We're not at that level yet, and besides, the male lead is Michael. He's an A-lister at the peak of his career.

"Of course, they'd cast someone of similar status as the female lead. I just didn't expect it to be Jamie. That's a bit surprising."

A trace of envy flickered in her expression.

Thora let out a sharp laugh. "Oh, come on. It's just because she's the Lane Group heiress. Connections, that's all. How long has Jamie even been in the industry?

"She doesn't have any real work to her name. Sure, she's a little more famous than us, but is Michael playing her supporting role? Seriously?"

Cecilia glanced around in alarm. "Keep your voice down! You can't just say things like that."

"What am I afraid of? It's the truth. Lila only got this job because she had Mr. Morgan backing her. Now, she's cozying up to Lane Group too. If it weren't for that, do you think Jamie would be getting this role?"
