The praise from the creators left the other seven auditioning actors extremely unhappy.
But at the same time, it made Lily ecstatic.
Great, getting the recognition from the director and the screenwriter meant her chance of winning was higher.
Doesn't this mean she now has one more reason to stay by Aidan Lucas's side and not leave him?
With a sly smile, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at the director, screenwriter, and male protagonist Colin Cloud.
Just as she was about to get off Aidan Lucas's lap, two large hands suddenly gripped her waist.
"Don't leave," he said in a low, husky voice.
Both of his palms held on tightly to her slender waist.
His possessive gesture revealed his overbearing side.
"Mr. Cooper, I need to go and thank the director and screenwriter; it's just manners," she said, purposely blinking innocently.
Of course, she knew the real reason he wouldn't let her leave.
She intentionally squirmed in his lap.
