Ella realized that no explanation could save the situation now so she refunded the money quietly.
Seeing the money back in his account, the man looked at her with a slightly better expression, "Miss, you don’t look that old. Maybe you should do so honest business to make a living rather than doing such scams to stay in these fancy apartnts..."
It wasn’t until the man was gone that Ella finally realized one thing.
Her plan was an epic fail.
Later that night, Ella returned to the university.
Since it was a holiday after the five days of continuous examinations, the place should have been quiet.
But surprisingly, the environnt in the campus was rather lively. Students were gathered in groups and there was an air of excitent around them.
Ella halted in her tracks when her eyes caught sight of an announcent on the notice board.
In the upcoming week, there will be auditions for a big production held in the university campus.
And interested students from all departnts were welco to try.
Ella’s eyes snapped to one key detail, the na of the drama—The Rising Rose.
And imdiately, everything clicked in her mind.
This should be the first drama co-produced by Mo Entertainnt after it was acquired and rebranded by Dean Mo.
And this drama was the sa drama that marked Esther’s debut in the entertainnt industry.
When Ella reached her dorms, Esther was pacing in front of her room.
The mont she spotted Ella, her eyes lit up, "Sis, did you go sowhere today?"
Ella dodged her hug by an inch and stepped forward to unlock her room, "What are you doing here?"
Esther glanced at her empty hands and froze for a mont. Did Ella dodge her just now?
She dismissed the thought when Ella spoke to her in a normal tone.
"Sis, I want to ask you for a favour..." Esther followed Ella inside her room, "But I am not sure if you’d agree."
"A favour?" Ella asked while cleaning her sheets.
"Sis, I need your social dia account..."
Ella’s movents halted, "What do you need my account for?"
Esther sat on the edge of the bed and let out a soft sigh, "When you were rising to popularity, you got a lot of followers in that account. But after the scandal, it has been a dead place. All they do is spew hatred whenever you post sothing..."
"I want to revive that account," Esther held Ella’s hand, "Sis, your career as a model was short-lived but it would be such a pity if everything about you becos a past affair."
"I want people to rember you. I want them to talk about you. So that, once you make a coback, you’d still be the talk of the town..."
"Who told you I’d ever make a coback?"
Esther froze. After a mont, she opened her mouth, "Sis, didn’t you always want to make a coback? You don’t have to hide it from ...’’
"I am never making a coback," Ella cut her off, "As for the haters, they can hate if they have such a boring life. How can I trouble my sister to deal with them for ?"
Esther’s smile wavered a little, "Sis, it’s not a problem for at all. If you give your account then I can..."
"I told you. I don’t care about what people think of ,’’ Ella patted her cheek, "Essie, you should focus on your studies and future. Don’t just keep worrying about all the ti."
"But..."
’’It worries when you are more worried about my life instead of focusing on yours..."
After the visit to Ella, Esther stord to her room and locked herself from inside.
That bitch!
She sounded so caring yet all she did was cause trouble for her.
She just asked for her social dia account. Couldn’t she quietly hand it over?
Acting like a fucking god as she preached?!
The more Esther thought about it, the further it beca suffocating for her.
’Bam’
’Crash’
’Bam’
Esther swept away everything in the room to the floor, "Ahhh!"
’Click’
"Esther?"
Esther stiffened.
Violet locked the bathroom door and stepped forward, her eyes roaming past the ss in the room.
"I..." Esther looked up, tears welling up in her eyes, ’’It’s just that... My sister..."
Violet furrowed her brows, "When we t her yesterday, she was easygoing. Did she do sothing today?"
Esther shook her head, "She is just... She is in a bad mood. I understand. It’s just my fault for bothering her..."
Tears rolled down Esther’s eyes, "I just lost control of my emotions. Please don’t think too much about it..."
"You are good to her all the ti. If she doesn’t know how to appreciate it then maybe you should try to stay away from her for a while."
Esther sobbed.
Violet rubbed her back, "Forget it. How far have your preparations for the auditions gone?"
Esther paused, "Violet, are you taking part in this drama too?"
Violet nodded slowly, "It’s my childhood dream to beco an actress. I don’t have any experience or fan following from before. So, I am not expecting any major roles but even the side roles will do..."
’’How could it be? You act so well in the theatres and you are so pretty. You might even be chosen as the female lead..." Esther looked at the girl’s delicate features and a hint of poison flitted in her eyes.
Esther walked out of her room and inhaled a deep breath. She felt calr than before but her mind was muddled.
Why? Why...? What went wrong? Where did it all go wrong?
Ella was obviously the sa person but why was everything so different about her suddenly.
How could she cluelessly ruin all her plans?
No, I can’t allow this anymore.
Esther pulled out her phone and dialled a number, "We need to et... Oh, you want to have nothing to do with ? Don’t forget, back then, you couldn’t have taken her down without my help... If word of it goes out then..."
After hearing the response, Esther’s lips curved, "That’s more like it. I will send you the address. Be there at ti."
