Chapter 301

Stella sat at the desk by the full-length windows for the last time and stared down at the bustling
streets below. Sighing, she said, “I’ll probably try out acting.” “Acting?” Yvonne stared at her, wide-eyed.
“Are you for real? You want to be an actress, but your skills don’t seem to match!”

“I tried out for an audition previously and the director found me talented and cast me. I haven’t had the
time to update you…” Stella looked at Yvonne with affection, “All along…you’re the only one who’s
treated me well and helped me genuinely. I will definitely remember everything you’ve done for me. I
know that what I say now might sound fake and an empty promise, but in the future, if I have the ability,
I will never reject you if you ever need my help.” She looked into Yvonne’s eyes.

Yvonne was stunned for a moment before tears began welling up in her eyes. “Why are you making
this sound like you’ll be gone forever?”

“I’m sorry…” Stella chuckled, “I’m just afraid I won’t have the chance to say something like this
again…”

“What nonsense! Even if we no longer work together in this training center, we still have many chances
to meet! Oh yes, which cast did you join? I’ll visit you frequently.” Stella pondered about it and thought it
better to tell her the truth, “It’s Bradley Lane’s new movie which just began filming. They are currently
framing the scenes in Fern City.” Realization dawned upon Yvonne. “I know that movie! Bradley is
pretty well-known in the scene and has a good reputation in the industry.”

Stella nodded.

After a moment, Yvonne recalled something. “Hang on! I just remembered that Guinevere is the female
lead of the movie, isn’t she?”



She stared unblinkingly at Stella, slightly shocked.

Stella’s body turned slightly stiff as she nodded after a moment’s pause, “Yes. But, she hasn’t entered
the cast just yet…and we haven’t met so far.”

With her slow, stuttery response, Yvonne knew that Stella still hadn’t gotten over things.

Regardless of whether she was a willing party, Stella had been relegated to a shady status one just
couldn’t be proud of.

Yvonne couldn’t figure out why she felt increasingly upset, “Weston Ford is simply too much! Didn’t he
have the sense to arrange for you a movie cast that didn’t include Guinevere?”

She clearly thought that Weston was behind all these.

Stella shook her head, “He had nothing to do with this. It was completely my choice.”

With that, she smiled bitterly, “In fact, he didn’t allow me to join the cast at the beginning, saying that it’ll
just puti

at it’ll just put me in the spotlight and bring shame to him.”

“What nonsense!”

Yvonne felt indignant on her behalf, “Isn’t Guinevere herself acting and exposing herself under public
scrutiny too? What’s more, she acted in more than one movie! She had so many intimate scenes with
the male lead in that movie she won an award in! What’s with his double standard?”

Stella shook her head, “At the very least, he’s now finally agreed to let me join the cast, so I must seize
this opportunity.” Since this was Stella’s personal choice, as a friend of hers, Yvonne couldn’t do much
but support her.



After a moment’s thought, she said, “The entertainment circle is a lot more complicated than you think it
is. I know many people who aren’t as glamorous as they look on the outside. Whatever it is, remember
to come to me if you need help.”

Stella nodded. “I will.” Yvonne couldn’t help but sigh.

Even though Stella said she would, Yvonne knew that it would take a lot for Stella to take the initiative
to come looking for her for help. The two of them sat next to each other for a while longer before Stella
broke the silence, “Will Dr. Quirk be coming to fetch you later? Perhaps I should make a move.”
