Chapter 9: Asher Land’s Heroine (Part 1)
It was already very late. By the time she arrived at the station, the last bus to Eastern City had left two hours ago.
Even though she knew this would be the result, she still walked out of that house without hesitation.
Without any extra money on her, even if she did have some, she had no intention of resting at a hotel. She spent the night curled up on a small bench at the station.
Early Saturday morning, Eva Miller opened the door and was startled to see the weary Sophie Smith.
"Didn't you go home yesterday? Why are you back today?"
"I, ..." truly could not think of a good excuse, and she didn't plan to say more.
"Oh, right!" Eva Miller slapped her forehead. "You came back just in time, you know what? The City of Desire crew is coming to Eastern Film Academy today to cast the female lead, you can go with me."
City of Desire?
Sophie Smith was clearly shocked too. City of Desire is currently a hot topic in the entertainment industry. It's said to be a three-billion-dollar production with top-notch actors and directors. Shooting had already started, and the selected female lead was the international film star Hazel Quinn. But for unknown reasons, the crew decided to replace Hazel Quinn. It's unbelievable since Hazel Quinn is a leading star with great acting skills and stunning looks; there seemed to be no reason to swap her out from the perspective of an average audience like Sophie Smith.
