Chapter 74 Who’s The Female Lead?
Chapter 74 Who’s The Female Lead?
Scream after scream spreading around, and everyone was staring at them.
Angelia was so shocked that she didn’t know how to react.
Echo looked up and winked at her.
“How was my performance?”
Angelia instantly understood and nodded with a smile.
“It’s impressive, no wonder so many people like you.”
Echo slightly leaned towards Angelia.
“What about you? Do you like me?”
Angelia’s eyes widened, Echo’s eyes were so serious that she couldn’t say anything for a moment.
“I mean did you like my performance?”
He explained with a smile, slightly dropped his eyes, revealing his deeply hidden disappointment.
Angelia pondered, and replied him seriously, “Although I don’t know much about acting, but there’s a
saying I think that’s right, which is, you were born to for the stage.”
Echo smiled and turned to look at her.
“You said this before when you’re a kid.”
He reached out his hand to grab Angelia.
“I’ll show you the backstage.”
When both of them left, the remaining people looked longingly at the direction they were leaving with
their arms crossing over their chests.
“So she really knows Echo…”
“Did you hear that? Echo just called her princess and held her hands!”
“If it were me, I’d die of happiness! I’ll never wash my hand for the rest of my life!”
Angela and a few others were outside the performance hall.
“Are you sure that they’re in there? She looked at the direction of the stage and asked.
“I’m sure!” One of them came up with a gossipy face, “My friend was selected to go to the backstage
with her, and I heard that she and Echo were blatantly flirting with each other in the past few days.”
“I saw it last time when I was here too, a married woman still hooked up with someone else, and she
wasn’t shameful about it.”
Angela stood at the entrance.
“Let’s go in and have a look.”
A rehearsal had just over, and Echo, dressed in a court suit, walked down from the stage while holding
a sword.
As Angela looked in the direction of Echo walking down the stage, she saw Angelia standing under the
stage.
They were chatting and joking, and they even took out the scripts and started practicing the lines.
“How come she’s the one who’s practicing the lines with him?”
“I heard that it was Echo’s request, they were tagging along almost all the time, it’s obvious that they
had an affair.”
Angela didn’t say a word. She hid behind of the crowd and snapped a few photos of them with her
phone.
At this moment, a few people carrying the stage props passed by, and Angelia was accidentally tripped,
Echo reached out to hold her up by wrapping him arms around her waist.
They took a few steps back, leaned intimately at the corner.
Angela quickly snapped that scene and saved in her phone.
She smiled in satisfaction and then she told the others, “Alright, let’s go.”
On the other side, Angelia almost fell down but luckily Echo pulled her up in time.
The students carrying the props had just left, and she patted Echo’s arm.
“Echo, you can let go of me now.”
Echo didn’t move, gazing down at her.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Angelia replied but Echo still didn’t let go of her.
“Echo?”
Echo came back to his sense, reluctantly let go his hand and clenched his fist lightly, as if the warmth
from the touch still remained in his palm.
“Alright, let’s continue.”
The rehearsal went on smoothly, and on the day of the school anniversary, Angelia went out as usual
without telling Jonathan about the event.
Steward stood beside the car and looked behind her.
“Sir isn’t going?”
Angelia took her things to the car, “I didn’t tell him.”
Steward suddenly felt sorry for Jonathan and said, “Aren’t you performing today? Sir should come over
since it is a rare occasion.”
For the past few days, Sir had been asking him every day whether Angelia had applied the ointment on
time, and he had sensed something.
But it was awkward to ask her personally, so he could only check every day if the ointment was used
up and then report to him on time.
In order to rehearse, Angelia came out early in the morning and went home late at night for the past
few days, she hardly had time to talk to Jonathan, even Steward could sense that he’s down.
However, Angelia didn’t notice anything wrong, instead she felt that Jonathan was even colder than
before.
Even they dined together some time, his face was cold, and she didn’t know what he was angry about.
How could Jonathan leave his job and come to see her performance on purpose?
Besides, she wasn’t performing today, she was just helping out at the backstage.
“No need, I’m not even on the stage, there’s nothing to see.”
Steward sighed, why’s Angelia not taking initiatives?
Angela had been inviting Sir to school since five days ago but Sir hadn’t agreed.
Perhaps he was waiting for her.
Phillips College’s anniversary celebration was spectacular, the school area was decorated with many
ribbons and balloons.
The school had even announced a three-day holiday to celebrate this event.
Among all the event venues, the performance hall was overcrowded.
As soon as they heard that Echo was going to perform, even people outside the school tried their best
to get in.
But the strict security system had stopped many people who wanted to get in outside the entrance.
The performance hall was surrounded by the crazy fans, wishing to see Echo when he came in and
out.
Angelia hardly made her way through the crowd and finally got to the back stage, but she saw that
everyone was busy and seemed to be looking everywhere for someone.
Some of them were on the verge of tears.
“What’s going on?”
The lecturer from the art school was so agitated that she was like an ant on a hot pan.
“The lead! The female lead is missing!”
“She’s not replying the messages and phone calls, she was here just now, and I don’t know where she
ran off.”
Angelia looked around, and she saw Echo standing aside as well. All work had come to a halt because
of the lead’s absence.
“If it doesn’t work, then replace with someone else instead.”
A voice suddenly came out from outside.
Everyone turned over and saw Angela standing at the entrance.
She came in slowly and said, “The hall was fully seated, the show will start soon, there’s no way you
can go on without the lead, right?”
As everyone listened, this was indeed the only way, with so many people outside, if they made a
scene, they could tear down the entire hall.
Angelia frowned and asked, “You want to be the lead?” NôvelDrama.Org content.
Unexpectedly, Angela shook her head and slowly smirked.
“I’m talking about you.”
Angelia’s eyes widened in shock when she heard her words.
She originally thought that Angela wanted to replace the lead to win the attention, but she didn’t expect
that she would let her perform instead.
Angela continued saying, “I remember that you often practice the lines with Echo, you’re the one who’s
the most familiar with the play here.”
Everyone looked over at the same time, Angelia used to practice the lines with Echo every day during
the rehearsal.
What Angela said did make sense.
“But…” Angelia frowned and said embarrassedly, “I don’t know how to act.”
“There’s no other way, Claudia, just help us out, in case those fans rush in, they can tear all of us
apart.”
Echo came over at the moment and said softly, “If you really don’t want to, we can change the play
temporarily and I’ll act alone.”
“No way! How can this be changed temporarily?” The lecturer immediately said.
Angelia hesitated for a long while and finally nodded.
“I can give it a try.”
