The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 535  SCRIPT READING (III)

535  SCRIPT READING (III)

AFTER everyone introduced themselves, the script reading finally began.

The first scene of the movie started with the panoramic view of the coastal town, Harborview. Then there would be a voice over, narrated by the character of Abby.

“In the enchanting embrace of summer, in the place where the sea meets the sky, a boy entered my world, weaving magic into my life.”

Charlotte read that line, with just enough hint of mystery, joy, and love. Anyone who heard it would want to know exactly what she meant.

Astrid slightly raised his brow. That was a good line delivery. The fact that she didn’t just say it and put the appropriate emotions to it just showed how seriously he was taking this. It made him look at Charlotte Anderson more closely. Astrid’s competitive spirit was suddenly aroused.

As the other main lead, he couldn’t just lag behind, right?

Charlotte, who was concentrating on the script in front of her, suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. She instinctively looked up and met the gaze of the person sitting opposite her.

Astrid Townsend smiled at him. But that wasn’t what startled Charlotte. It was the fire in those obsidian eyes. As if he was saying ‘I won’t lose’. It was similar and yet dissimilar to the looks she had received from people she acted with until now. Similar in the sense that they didn’t want to lose and dissimilar because, unlike those gazes, Astrid was not glaring at her as if he wanted to stab her repeatedly.

She had never really understood what those looks meant. She didn’t care enough to find out. As long as they didn’t get in the way of her acting, then she didn’t mind, even if they looked at her like she was some kind of trash.

She turned her gaze back to her script. The first scene where Abby and Jace were about to meet was coming. She had to concentrate.

And so, once again, Charlotte immersed herself in the script. As if everything written there was happening right at this moment. In her mind, the surroundings slowly changed.

She was no longer sitting inside a conference room, instead, she was inside a seaside cafe. She was sitting on a table beside the floor to ceiling window where one could immediately see the vast ocean. In her hands was a thick book, something already considered as uncommon in this era.
