Chapter 143 143 - You Got The Role!

"Please wait in the chairs on the side." The woman said, bringing a big smile to Laura's and my faces. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

We knew that asking us to wait was great news.

So we nodded and left the stage back to the waiting room.

"Thank you Noah..." Laura said happily as she squeezed my hand.

Her little hand was cold with nerves.

Smiling, I replied, "I just did what a friend should do.

When we got to the waiting room, it was great to see the fat woman's face freeze when she saw us sitting down.

I even started to stare at her with a contemptuous smile, which made her even angrier, but I controlled myself so as not to make a fuss that might affect her daughter's chances.

We waited about 10 minutes before they finally called someone.

"Number 15, please come to the testing room."

When the mother and daughter heard this, they quickly got up and went into the room and stayed there for 10 minutes before coming out with a confident expression, looking at me with disdain, but saying nothing.

Seeing their reaction, I was a little worried about Laura, but I didn't let it show on my face.

"Number 16, please."

Hearing this, Laura and I got up and went to the living room as well.

When we entered the room, I let go of her hand and was about to head for the corner of the room where I had been sitting, but the woman said something that surprised me.

"Wait a minute, come here too, boy."

I looked at her in surprise, confirmed that it was me she was talking to, saw her nod, and walked with Laura to the center of the stage, a little unsure.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Noah Black." I replied.

"Are you an artist by any chance?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm currently a top 723rd E Rank Artist." I said, not quite understanding where this was going.

"Strange... have any of you ever heard of a Noah Black?" She asked her companions a little confused.

"No... have you ever acted in any major movies or series, Noah?" The man who played Jack asked me.

"I've never acted." I replied with an embarrassed smile, realizing the reason for their confusion.

It surprised them until they realized what the reason could be.

I looked at the woman and nodded with a smile. "No problem!"

"Very well, but for you Laura..." The woman said as she sighed and looked at Laura, making us worry. "Your acting is spectacular, the best we've seen out of the 16 contestants, but it was only like that when you were acting with Noah, when you were alone it was nowhere near the level needed..."

Hearing this, Laura bowed her head in shame. "We talked a lot about whether to choose you or contestant number 15, and in the end we decided to leave you with this question: do you think you can show us how to perform at the level with Noah, even without Noah on stage with you?"

Laura kept her head down for a few seconds, unsure.

No one said anything, leaving her alone to think about it.

Finally, after a minute, she raised her head and said. "Yes. I'm going to do my best to give the best performance I can."

Seeing her determination, I smiled and put my hand on her shoulder. "I'll help you at school as much as I can."

Seeing Laura's reaction, this seemed to give them enough confidence and they smiled.

"All right, then we'll retake your test for the first two scenes, without Noah on stage. If you manage to reach the passable level, we'll give you the vote of confidence that you'll improve even more for when we shoot the pilot next week." The woman said with a serious voice.

Laura nodded and I thanked her and left the stage to sit in the corner of the room.

To everyone's surprise, Laura's acting really improved.

When she started to get nervous, she would look at me and her skill would rise again.

She still didn't show all 40 levels of acting she had, but even the current level she showed was enough to show that she was better than girl number 15 and ensure that she got the part.

When everything was ready, the woman handed me her card and told me to ask my agent to call her in two weeks to talk more about my audition.

Nodding my head, I accepted her card and left the room with a smiling Laura.

With her small size and how happy and excited she was, Laura was like a little fairy.

As we passed the woman with the daughter, we didn't hide our happiness and I made a point of looking at her with the same disdain she looked at us.

Seeing our happiness, I saw her face freeze and realized that something might have gone wrong.

I didn't worry and left with Laura.

"To celebrate your role and my possible role as your character's boyfriend, how about we go out for ice cream?" I asked.

When she heard that, Laura's eyes lit up. "Yeah!"

Watching her put on her helmet, I realized that she managed to look cute and sexy at the same time because of her small body and well-developed curves.

Our drinking time was a lot of fun. I already knew that even though she was small, she ate a lot when we ate lunch together at school, but I didn't imagine that she would be able to drink a 700ml milkshake all by herself!

The strange thing was that even though I assured her that I could take her home, she refused and asked me to drop her off at school so she could take the bus home.

Even though I said it wouldn't bother me, Laura refused without giving me any room to offer more, so I realized there might be other reasons for this and didn't push the matter any further, leaving her at school and returning home excited to tell my family and Selena the news that I can become an actor.
