Chapter 147: Workshop
....
As the auditions went on to continue the days were slipping past for two weeks.
Regal leaned back in the chair, his undereye darkened slightly, as the sleepless nights and endless auditions tapes and reviews occupied him.
"How the hell am I supposed to convince that brat again?" He muttered an expression slightly defeated playing with black shades in his hands.
He didn't need to say the name.
Everyone around - Samantha, Simon, Andrew - knew exactly who he meant.
Daniel Radcliffe.
...the boy who was supposed to be - The Boy Who Lived - but who still hadn't signed.
Behind the scenes, the talks were still ongoing.
His parents were interested, but playing cautious.
Daniel himself seemed unsure, and unwilling.
And while this was happening, Regal's casting team was scrambling to line up contingency options.... just in case.
