"WHAT do you think the result would be?" Ellis asked the teenager in front of him.

The two of them were inside a restaurant's private box, having late lunch. After the audition, they quickly looked for the nearest restaurant to eat. 

"If no one would stretch their evil hands and interfere with the result, then, I think this role is now mine," Astrid said, neither arrogant nor humble. 

Ellis grinned. "I think so as well."

She was there and watched the whole audition. Seeing such a wonderful performance that perfectly embodied the role he was auditioning for, if Astrid didn't get it, then, it could only mean that some black-hearted people made some move behind the scenes. 

Ellis was not just saying that because Astrid was the artist she's in charge of. This was not just because of her bias. Even if she's not Astrid's agent, she would still have the same opinion.
