SWNOVELS Chapter 100
Episode 100
Elizabeth absorbed her friend’s diatribe, her resolve hardening to carve out her own path.
“Men are too fickle to depend on.
I have to make it on my own.
Any success that woman wrangled through Elijah, I’m determined to earn independently!”
Mid-conversation, Elizabeth’s phone buzzed with a text from Soren, informing her of her audition time with the male lead.
Three days later, at Silver Elephant Media, Ruby dashed in, out of breath, her anxiety easing only when she spotted Elizabeth lounging on a sofa in the reception area.
“You waited until the last minute to tell me about this big deal.
Lucky for you, I was free.”
Witnessing Ruby’s distress, Elizabeth offered a comforting smile.
“It’s merely an audition.
Nothing’s set in stone yet.”
“For a project of this magnitude, even stepping into the audition room is crucial,” Ruby remarked, settling beside Elizabeth.
“How did you land such a coveted spot? Katrina Spencer’s screenplay, no less! Even the premier star of our agency might not snag a chance.
Was it that connection who helped you investigate the mastermind during that viral moment who got you this?”
Elizabeth pressed her lips together, steeling herself to reveal the truth.
“I am Katrina Spencer.”
Ruby, as her manager, had to know eventually.
With a dismissive roll of her eyes, Ruby expressed her disbelief.
“Sure, and next you’ll tell me you’re married to the wealthiest man alive?”
Elizabeth was momentarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, she was Katrina Spencer.
Determined to prove her point, Elizabeth retrieved the copyright contract from her phone and handed it to Ruby.
“I’m dead serious.”
Ruby skeptically took the phone, but her expression shifted to one of shock as she scrutinized the document.
Looking up, she asked in astonishment, “You’re actually Katrina Spencer?”
Elizabeth affirmed with a nod, “Yes.”
“Why would you keep such a significant secret? And why bother with those ridiculous auditions for ‘Blazing Sun’?”
Ruby’s composure finally shattered.
Elizabeth had the advantage, yet she allowed Sandra to belittle her?
Elizabeth thought back to leaving the house with no clear direction, just a determination to do something, and that decision led her to Ruby.
Reflecting on this, she explained, “Initially, I lacked confidence.
I wanted to start small and hone my abilities.”
Ruby exhaled a weary sigh.
“Well, it’s not too late to change course.”
A sudden recollection made Ruby reach into her bag and pull out an envelope.
“This is for you.”
Curious, Elizabeth accepted it.
“Who’s it from?”
