Chapter 6

"I ain't into kids, and I sure as hell don't wanna get attention like this," she muttered, dodging Bianca's eyes.

She could see right through Roxanne's nerves.

Over the years, Roxanne would do anything to grab the spotlight, good or bad, didn't matter. But since she wasn't spilling, Bianca didn't push. Their relationship was strictly business; they weren't even pals.

Bianca said coolly, "Alright, I'll pull all my strings to make sure those pics don't get out. But it's the digital age, and a ton of folks were snapping pics today. Can't promise they'll all vanish."

Roxanne slammed the table, fuming, "I don't care; it's your job. You gotta handle this! If even one pic leaks online, it's on you!"

Still not satisfied, Roxanne added, "I'm Nathan's girlfriend. If you mess this up, I'll make sure you can't stay in Aurora City!"

Bianca's face went a bit cold, but she didn't argue. "I'll handle it. It's late, you should head home and rest. You got an audition for 'Thunder 2' early tomorrow. Even though the role's set, reporters will be there. Don't be late."

With that, she turned and left, leaving Roxanne standing there, both anxious and pissed.

The drive from the airport to Sarah's place was just twenty minutes. Caroline stared out the car window at the familiar yet strange city, feeling all sorts of things. After five years away, she was finally back.

During those five years abroad, Caroline had it rough raising two kids. By chance, she joined a film crew that needed a supporting actress.

The role was small and the pay sucked, but Caroline gave it her all. She brought life to a basic role and showed off her killer acting skills.

Later, the director even gave her more scenes. That role made Caroline famous and she even snagged some local awards.

This time, she was back because her best friend Sarah had hooked her up with a sweet audition opportunity.

Plus, Caroline came back to uncover the truth about Daisy's death and reclaim what was hers.

Sarah said, "Caroline, we're here."

Caroline snapped out of her thoughts and followed Sarah, dragging her luggage into the elevator.

As soon as they got in, Sophie exclaimed, "Sarah, your place is huge!"

Sarah, feeling proud, said, "I'm a top agent. Bought this place with my own cash."

Sophie, always the charmer, immediately praised, "Sarah, you're awesome!"

Ryan, with a serious look, nodded like a little adult, showing he agreed.

Sarah was amused by the siblings and gave each of them a kiss. Then she went into a room and came out with a script and the audition list. "The audition's tomorrow, and the list is out. Check it out before you start unpacking."

Caroline nodded, took the list, and immediately saw Roxanne's name at the top.
