Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

She gritted her teeth, holding back her frustration repeatedly until she finally snapped with a sarcastic jab, “If you’ve never seen it, that’s just because you’re clueless!”

Tiffany went along, flashing an innocent smile. “Alright, as long as you’re happy.”

Wendy was speechless, on the verge of losing it. That was meant to agree with her, but instead of feeling even a bit happy, her frustration only deepened.

Just then, a staff member came over to announce that the auditions were officially starting and that everyone should enter according to the number they received. Abbie was third in line, while Wendy was second. The first person had already gone in-a complete newcomer, but they had put in the effort. Their hair was neatly styled, giving off a fresh and confident vibe.

Tiffany stood up and said to Abbie and Nevaeh, “I’m going to the restroom.” With that, she headed out. As the screenwriter and casting director, she naturally had to go backstage to observe their performances.

Wendy assumed Tiffany was getting nervous about her audition, letting out a dismissive laugh. Her face was full of confidence as she declared, “Just wait and see; this role is mine!”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Tiffany stuck to her usual line, “As long as you’re happy.”

‘If fooling yourself doesn’t tire you out, that is,’ she thought. After stepping out and taking advantage of the empty hallway, Tiffany quietly opened the audition room door. Inside, Oliver was waiting for her. Seeing her enter, he finally spoke, “Let’s begin.”

The audition room was designed to prevent actors from feeling pressured. A mirror divided the space, allowing the judges to watch the performances while remaining unseen by the actors.

The script was about a girl betrayed by her lover and friend who fell into a deep sleep for several years before awakening. Faced with the harsh reality of a world that had changed while she was gone and the profound sense of disorientation and loneliness that came with it, this complex emotional journey required a performer with exceptional acting skills.

However, the first person’s acting skills were only superficial. After one performance, all that remained was a sense of emptiness and daze. Tiffany remained silent; she turned to gauge Oliver’s reaction. She noticed him marking a cross expressionlessly, indicating that this newcomer had not passed the audition.

The second to arrive was Wendy. As soon as she stepped into the audition room, she looked at the mirror and said, “Mr. Fraser, I’ve dreamed of the chance to work with you. I can’t believe you gave me an audition opportunity.” As she spoke, she flashed a sweet smile that made her appear shy, a stark contrast to the overbearing attitude she had just displayed in the waiting room.

Wendy worked hard to create a good impression but didn’t forget to stab someone in the back. “By the way, Mr. Fraser, let me tell you something secret. Among the few newcomers behind me, there’s one named Tiffany Kelley. You should be careful not to be fooled by her!

“Her personal life is a mess, and her behavior is questionable-she only knows how to seduce men. People like her may look good on the surface, but that’s all they’ve got!”

Fortunately, the mirror wasn’t two-way so that Wendy couldn’t see that just on the other side, Tiffany was sitting at the judging table, watching her performance with a playful expression. She thought, ‘This is amusing.

Oliver’s expression darkened. If Tiffany was indeed here to audition, it might sway him; first impressions could quickly turn negative. As a director and investor, he didn’t want rumors about the lead actor’s questionable reputation circulating before ar

after the film’s release.

But Tiffany wasn’t interested in entering the industry. She was here solely as a screenwriter to cast roles. Since there was no audition for her, it was clear that Wendy’s remarks were nothing but deliberate slander.

Oliver spoke in a cold tone cutting her off directly. “Just go ahead and perform; don’t waste more time.”

“Alright.” It was the first time Wendy had been ignored like this, especially with an impatient tone. She would have stormed off in anger at any other time, but she couldn’t afford to offend Oliver if she wanted to make it in the entertainment industry. So, she swallowed her irritation.

She then began her performance. In just five minutes, Tiffany quickly understood why Wendy had not achieved success; it was because she lacked any fundamental acting skills.

The performance was painfully awkward, turning a well-crafted, resilient female lead into a fool. Wendy’s exaggerated acting and loud outbursts of anger were sharp and piercing in an unpleasant way. Yet, she carried on with an inexplicable confidence.

Tiffany couldn’t help but laugh. On the other hand, Oliver had a dark expression as he marked a big red cross.

This time, he couldn’t hold back any longer. Oliver began to offer his critique, his words sharp and incisive. “You need to work on your acting skills. In comparison, your performance when badmouthing others was practically flawless.”

‘What?’ she thought; Wendy was speechless and deeply affected, incredulously asking, “Mr. Fraser, what was wrong with my performance?” She was pretty satisfied with her performance.

Oliver was so frustrated that he felt a haze clouding his vision and didn’t want to say anything. Tiffany laughed and lazily said, “Next.”

The voice was somewhat crisp and sounded familiar. Wendy paused momentarily, straining to look into the mirror as if trying to figure out who was sitting inside. But no matter how she looked, she could only see her reflection.

A staff member promptly escorted her out. Abbie was the next. Oliver wouldn’t want to give her a chance to audition if it weren’t for Tiffany’s sake. But now that she was already here, he could only sit back and quietly observe.

“Go ahead,” he said, and he could sense the shift in Abbie’s demeanor.

She transformed from her usual style into a figure shrouded in deep sorrow, like a girl who had endured unimaginable hardship. She stared quietly ahead, her clear, beautiful eyes free of tears, emanating a profound sense of desolation that stirred a deep emotional response in anyone watching.

Then she spoke, her voice soft and gentle as she delivered the brief lines. “You owe me so much that you

“Me? Yes, I truly deserve this…”

can’t repay.

Then she lifted her head, a faint smile gracing her face. It combined innocence with a hint of darkness, suggesting transformation that had risen from despair.

After the performance ended, Oliver was captivated by her smile and gaze, unable to shake off the moment. He thought, ‘No wonder she’s an award-winning actress with such explosive acting skills.

At that moment, he felt as though he wasn’t looking at Abbie but at the character from the story itself. Her straightforward interpretation delivered a profound emotional impact without costumes, sets, or props, showing she truly understood the role. Oliver sat there, momentarily speechless.

Tiffany was pleased as well. However, she remained calm and composed, quietly waiting for Oliver’s decision, not showing any impatience.

After a long pause, Oliver let out a sigh. He then turned to Tiffany, expressing with a hint of admiration, “I understand now why you were so determined to secure Abbie Hopkins for this role.

“Indeed, she comes from the depths and is bound to rise from them.

“Let’s go with her.”

With the role confirmed, the remaining candidates no longer needed to audition. In moments, Abbie and her agent stayed behind to discuss the contract details.

Having concluded her business, Tiffany went downstairs, and her men blocked her path.
