The casting drama around The Crimson Favor had taken over Hollywood.
Everyone was talking about how Lena Cole got dropped from the lead role without warning.
The actress replacing her, Wendy Parker, was basically a nobody. She had spent years bouncing between background roles.
Her biggest credit was a thirty-minute appearance on this year's hit show Heartland Hills.
Lena stared at Wendy's headshot on her phone, her fingers curling tighter around the screen.
The girl had that exact mix of sweetness and quiet charm the role called for. It was perfect casting, and that made Lena even angrier.
"Do youknow who paid for this?"she asked through clenched teeth, struggling to keep her voice steady.
Her agent hesitated, then muttered,"The name floating around is Voss."
