Chapter 646
The moment the door swung open, a thick, boozy smell smacked me right in the face
Celeste was squatting on the floor, looking a little paler than usual One hand clutched a cell phone, and the other was still pouring booze into a crack in the door
Feeling a pang of anxiety, Liam rushed over and pulled her out of there.
Owen wasn’t looking any better.
This tiny, completely sealed–off room was like a gas chamber with its power cut and only vent blocked off. The air was so foul that it was suffocating
Anyone stuck in there for half an hour would be struggling for breath.
“Liam
Celeste was leaning against him, calling out his name faintly.
Liam was tense lips sealed shut and responded with a vaque grunt.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered. “Take me to the window or the balcony I need some fresh air
Liam paused momentanly, then said in a low voice, Tm taking you to the hospital first”
“Just take me to the balcony first Celeste clung to his shirt, Tl be fine after a break. I still have to audition. I can’t let them win
Seeing Liam’s strained face, she rubbed her hand against his cheek, Please!”
She wouldn’t say the word when he wanted her to, but she could use it like a pro when he least expected it.
Liam clenched his jaw, said nothing, and camed her straight to the balcony
The open space with fresh air was like a breath of life. The heaviness in her lungs slowly dispersed, and her breathing became more relaxed
Liam remained silent, sitting by her side, gently rubbing her back.
Celeste’s face slowly regained some color.
Owen brought warm water, “Ma’am, have some water”
Celeste thanked him, took small sips, and retumed the cup to Owen.
“I have to go to the audition”
She stood up, feeling a short darkness spell before her vision cleared again.
Liam grabbed her wrist, “Rest a little longer. I’ll talk to the director.”
“No”
Celeste looked at him, “If you do that, people will think you’re my sugar daddy. I haven’t earned a dime for my boss yet, and I already have a scandal with you. How am I supposed to work in the company?”
Liam said sternly “Anyone who talks nonsense, I’ll np their tongue out.”
When did Liam become so domineering?
Celeste coughed, “You maybe you should talk less. I’m not used to it”
Celeste glanced at the time, I have to go now. Don’t interfere. Got it? Or I’ll donate all your money!”
She took off like a bat out of hell
Once she was out of sight. Liam turned to Owen with a grim face. Find out who did this.”
Celeste hadn’t even reached the private room when the door opened, and a group of people walked out, laughing and chatting
She felt a sinking feeling in her heart, humedly catching up, and called, “Director Javier
A man in his fifties with graying hair turned to look at her.
“You are
“I’m Celeste, the actress auditioning today”
After saying this, Celeste silently cursed under her breath
It was the same with “Phoenix Fire” if it weren’t for an actor having an accident, Zach wouldn’t have let her fill in at the last minute.
She wasn’t sure if she would be that lucky this time
