Chapter 352 : Comforting Becky
Audrey sat beside Becky and asked softly, “Becky, what’s wrong?”
Becky sobbed as she cried. “Miss Audrey, I, I…”
“Alright, alright…” Audrey pulled him into her arms and gently patted his back. “Don’t be sad. Just call me by my name. There’s no need to be so polite with me.”
Becky’s eyes were swollen from crying. After a few minutes, she asked in a choked voice, “Audrey, am I a failure?”
Audrey was very surprised by her words. “How can that be? Why do you think so? You’re so outstanding, so why do you think you’re a failure?”
Becky wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, “I really feel terrible… When I was auditioning that day, I really regretted that I didn’t perform well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have missed a role in Romeo and Juliet.” Oh, so it was because of this.
Audrey was stunned for a moment. Soon, she patted Becky’s back with heartache and said, “Becky, Eric… My second brother has his own criteria for choosing people. It’s not that you’re bad that he didn’t choose you. It might just be that he has other thoughts.”
“I know. It’s my own problem… Audrey, you don’t have to comfort me. I knew a long time ago that I had many shortcomings, but I just didn’t want to face them.” Becky looked sad, as though her heart had been broken.
Audrey sighed, then gently comforted her. “Becky, don’t think too much, okay?”
Becky’s eyes were red as she looked at Audrey and said, “Audrey, thank you for comforting me. Actually, I don’t have anything to feel aggrieved about. I wasn’t chosen as an actor in a stage play because I’m not good enough. Thank you for being willing to listen to me spout so much nonsense.”
Audrey didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Becky, you have to believe in yourself. You’re an outstanding person to begin with. There’s no need for you to doubt yourself.”
Becky took a deep breath and said, “Audrey, I’ll continue to work hard in the future. I want to regard you as my role model. In the future, I’ll come to the auditorium every day to watch you rehearse. I want to learn your acting skills.
Don’t reject me.”
Looking at Becky’s sincere gaze, Audrey couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
“Becky, you’re a very talented person to begin with,” Audrey said earnestly. “Romeo and Juliet is just an ordinary stage play. So what if you didn’t get chosen this time? You’ll still have many opportunities in the future.”
Becky still had a sad expression on her face. “Audrey, to be honest, I’ve always admired Senior Eric. He’s so talented. Back when I found out that he would return to school to participate in a stage play, I hoped to work with him.” “Heavens!” Audrey couldn’t help but cover her mouth in surprise.
“Of course, I know…” Becky said dejectedly. “I’m just an ordinary person. How would I dare to hope that Senior will notice me one day? I only hope that when he recalls this stage play in the future, he will occasionally think of me.” Becky’s current behavior was that of a little girl who could not be loved.
Audrey confirmed her previous guess.
Becky liked Eric!
However, Audrey also knew very well that she couldn’t plead with Eric for this reason and get him to arrange for Becky to act in a stage play.
Eric was in charge of Romeo and Juliet. Even if Audrey was his sister, she couldn’t interfere with Eric’s decision.
At the same time, Audrey knew very well that if she really thought of a way to squeeze Becky into the production team of the stage play, the other students might have a problem with Becky. Furthermore, Eric might have complaints about her because of this.
Even if Eric had never gotten angry with Audrey before, Audrey didn’t want to touch Eric’s bottom line.
“In short, don’t doubt yourself,” Audrey said to Becky with a smile. “Becky, you have to know that vou are an outstanding Derson. Don’t denv vourself completely just because of some setbacks, okay?”
Becky nodded, red-eyed.
“It’s almost time. Why aren’t you back yet?” Suddenly, Eric’s voice came from not far away.
Audrey subconsciously looked up and saw Eric standing at the door of the auditorium, waving at her..
