Miss Nobody To Queen Of Entertainment

Synopsis

Alex Stone walked into the room with a long face. He just bombed the audition for that big-budget blockbuster everyone was talking about. I was already reaching out, my mind searching for the right words to comfort him, when his thoughts slammed into my head. [Almost there. Just a little more, and she'll take the bait.] [If she agrees to this, it's the ultimate proof. It means she loves me for me, not for my money or my fame.] [Once she passes the test, I'll drop the act and tell her everything. I'll show her I'm actually Alex Stone, the biggest star in the country. I'll sign her to my agency, put her in my movies, and make her the happiest woman.] I froze, my arms hovering in the air. I thought I was losing my mind, caught in some bizarre auditory hallucination, until Alex actually spoke. The words that came out were even more monstrous than the thoughts in his head. "The casting director," he started with fake misery, "told me the role is mine, but only if you're willing to spend the night with him." He looked at me then, pleading, "Look, Emma, I really need this. This role is my big break. Would you be willing to do this for me?"
