Chapter 24: Chapter 24

"Let us eat first." Francheska said as she put down her phone and grabbed the two paper bags Rissa was holding.

As expected, Rissa was not joking while they are in the van. She really ordered a carrot shake and a bowl of leafy vegetable salad for Francheska. She also ordered a Chinese steamed fish in ginger and stir-fried tofu. Francheska can only let out a sigh while placing the food on the small coffee table inside. These low-calorie foods are not really her taste. But it is a good thing that Rissa also added a small cup of low-fat milk pudding for her dessert.

"Francheska..."

"Hmm?" Francheska hummed in response as she carefully opened each plastic container.

"Well... Giselle is one of the auditionees for today."

Francheska's hands stopped moving for a couple of seconds before she continued opening the containers.

"While I was paying the delivery man earlier, I accidentally saw Giselle sitting on the couch outside while reading a script. She has a number card pinned on her shirt that is why I am sure that she was here to audition for the movie."

 

In fact, not only Giselle, but Rissa also saw Iñigo earlier. He was sitting next to Giselle while talking with someone on his phone. Rissa is not sure if Rachel was also here.

If she was really here, then Francheska will meet the three people who cause a lot of miseries in Francheska's past. She was not that worried about Francheska. Rissa knows that she is not the same Francheska who knows nothing but to cry. She was more worried that those people will cause a problem for Francheska. Worst, they will try to hurt her again.

Francheska did not show any reaction and just continued what she was doing. After opening all the plastic containers, she opened the paper bag again to look for their disposable spoons and forks.

"Do you want me to stop her from auditioning?" Rissa carefully asked.

"You will not do that, Rissa." Francheska finally said. "Even if she will get the role or not, we will not do anything to stop her from auditioning on this role."

Francheska urged Rissa to sit beside her and gave her open bottled water to drink.

"Rissa, I know why you are acting like that. And I am really thankful that you are doing it on my behalf." Francheska said with a smile. "But we will not lower ourselves at their level."

Francheska let out a sigh and leaned her back on the chair.

"I told you, didn't I? I do not want to dwell on my past. If possible, I want to forget all about it and treat it like a nightmare."

"But Francheska..."

"It is okay. Ever since I left the country, I promised myself to start a new life. Of course, I can never forgive them. But I do not want to relive the past for all my life."

This is Francheska's honest feelings. She was hurt, yes. But she does not plan to pursue those people who hurt her and her mother only if those people will not provoke her first. All Francheska wanted is a peaceful life with the people who truly care about her. She prefers to live in peace and away from those bad people.

Of course, as long as they will not disturb her life again, Francheska will not do anything. 

"Stop frowning, Rissa. What if your soulmate is here and he sees you like that? If you keep on frowning, you will scare your soulmate away. Worst, he will find another woman to marry!" Francheska said as she tried to change the topic.

"He might as well die if my soulmate dares to cheat on me." Rissa flatly answered.

"No! If he dies, you will become a nun in the future!"

"And you really dare to think that!"

Francheska only laughed in response to that. The serious atmosphere inside her dressing room disappeared just like that. This lively mood is much better. Talking about those vermin will leave a bitter taste on their food and they may cause indigestion for them.

Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Giselle cannot concentrate on memorizing her scripts. Her eyes are on the words written on the paper she was holding, but her focus was not there. Giselle is not is getting nervous about her performance later. But the reason for it is the man sitting beside her.

Iñigo is sitting beside Giselle in the lobby. He was just there to give Giselle his support for her audition today. Originally, Rachel should also be here. But she suddenly got a photoshoot schedule so she cannot make it.

Worried about her sister, Rachel asked a favor to Iñigo if he can go with Giselle on her stead. Of course, Iñigo will naturally agree. When Rachel became his girlfriend, Iñigo treated her girlfriend's family as his own.

"Brother..." Giselle purposely called Iñigo in a soft and artificial tone. "Do you think I can do well in the audition?"

"Of course. Rachel told me that you are meticulously preparing for this audition. Just do your best later." Iñigo answered as he gently stroked Giselle's head.

Because Giselle is Rachel's younger sister, Iñigo naturally treated her so well. As long as Giselle needs some assistance, Iñigo will help her. On the other hand, Giselle had different thoughts. She believes that since Iñigo's preference in a woman is her sister, then she may have a chance to get his attention too.

In fact, Giselle secretly likes Iñigo. He is young, strong, handsome, and rich. Iñigo fits all the things Giselle is looking for in a man. Technically speaking, Giselle met Iñigo first instead of Rachel after her ex-stepsister Francheska introduced him to her. But after a few twists and turns, Iñigo ended up with her older sister.

"Brother Iñigo, I will do my best to get the role! Treat me to dinner after I get the role, okay?" Giselle said in a cute voice.

Iñigo did not say anything and just showed Giselle a smile. Minutes later, a staff called the attention of the auditionees to gather outside the audition room. Giselle stands up from her seat and fixed her hair. Even though she was not yet finished memorizing the script, Giselle is confident that she will still get the role.

'What is so important with that boring script? If I really forget my lines later, I will just some adlib and improvise the scene.'

And Giselle does not feel scared at all. Iñigo was on her side. All she has to do is to act like a docile and sweet girl in front of Iñigo and he will deliver the role she wants in front of her. Giselle is confident that Iñigo will do it because he does not want to leave a bad impression on his girlfriend's sister.

"Ms. Francheska Cruz is here!"

Giselle was rooted in her spot when she heard her ex-stepsisters name. Both Iñigo and Giselle turned their heads to see a slender woman walking in front of the auditionees.

Francheska was dressed in a blue tweed skirt and top. She was also covered with a coat in the same color that reached her knees. She was also wearing a piece of simple-looking pearl jewelry which highlights her soft features. Francheska's long and flawless legs were exposed, seizing attention to the people inside the building.

Intentional or not, the way Francheska walked with her fair legs gathered their attention. Her swaying hips while walking give the onlooker an idea that Francheska is a supermodel walking on her own catwalk show. The noise inside the building was immediately lowered by a notch. The moment Francheska showed a soft smile at them, the people inside were suddenly woken up from their stupor and they quickly gave their greetings to her.

"Good morning, Ms. Francheska!"

"Thank you for giving us your precious time with us, Ms. Francheska."

"Ms. Francheska, you are looking beautiful today as well."

"Ms. Francheska, Director Jamie is already waiting for you inside."

Iñigo, who was also woken up from his daze, frowned.

Iñigo suddenly got displeased when he temporarily lost himself because of Francheska's arrival. It was not bad if he finds another woman beautiful aside from Rachel. But it was bad that he got distracted because of Francheska.

Francheska greeted the people who called her name politely as she continued walking. When she was already near the two people in the lobby, Francheska ignored them as if they are not existing there. She never spared them even a bit of attention until she gets inside the audition room.
