Chương 29: Chapter 29
When the assistant called Giselle's number, she flipped her hair and walked inside the audition room with confidence. She even smirked at the actress who just came out from the audition. When the auditionees saw Giselle acting so cocky, they all have a negative comment about her but choose not to say it out loud. In the showbiz industry, they should know how to keep their own opinions to themselves especially if you are trying to protect your image.
The assistant opened the door for Giselle and guided her until she is standing in front of the judges. At first, the judges were not paying attention to Giselle who is standing in front of them. Director Jamie is texting with someone while the producers beside her are reading the script. While patiently waiting for them to finish whatever on earth they are doing, Giselle is looking for Francheska inside the audition room.
Giselle could not see any signs of Francheska around. With a practiced smile still on her face, her eyes are carefully scanning the room. Did she leave? If that is the case, then it seems like this day is her lucky day! She does not need to see that bitch while she is acting.
"Ms. Giselle Tan. Hmm... Are you related to the star who recently won a contest? What's her name again?"
"That is right! My sister's name is Rachel Tan!" Giselle sweetly said. But deep inside, she is cursing her sister.
Rachel kept on boasting that she is now a famous star in the whole Finrel City. She kept on doing it for the past days. Rachel even mentioned that she can be an international star sooner or later. But now that a director is asking for her name, how can Giselle use her sister's fame to get a role in this audition?
"Oh, I see. Let us talk about that later. Ms. Giselle Tan, can you act the scene where Hannah is trying to tell Rose the truth about the identity of his mysterious sender? I will give you a full five minutes to act that scene."
'That part only? Ha! So easy.'
"Okay! Can I ask one minute so I can internalize my role?" Giselle cutely asked.
"Sure. Go ahead."
Giselle took a deep breath and start acting in front of the judges that she is a little bit nervous. It is a huge contrast to how she acted so relaxed and haughty outside the audition room. After taking three more deep breaths, Giselle looked at the judges and signaled them that she is now ready. Director Jamie called for her assistant to act as Rose before looking at Giselle with seriousness and waits for her to act the scene.
"Rose! Rose! Guess what?" Giselle asked. Her voice is full of excitement.
"What? What happened?"
"I finally know the identity of your mysterious sender!" burst Giselle.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Hannah? Lloyd is my mysterious sender."
"Lloyd? Duh. He is not your mysterious sender. It was Charles, his best friend." Giselle said and slightly rolled her eyes to show a little attitude to her best friends.
"W-What? Hannah, what are you—"
"Charles is your mysterious sender and not Lloyd!"
"B-But how..."
"I do not know the complete details, but we should ask Lloyd about it. Let's go!" Giselle said as she pulled the hand of her friend.
"And cut!"
When Giselle heard the director's voice, she stands up straight and showed the judges a sweet smile. The assistant left Giselle on the stage and stand beside the director. The judges were not showing any emotions on their faces but it does not really bother Giselle.
"Ms. Giselle Tan, according to your portfolio, you have no acting experiences before yet." Director Jamie said. "So what inspires you to have an audition for this drama?"
"The truth is, I want to show everyone my passion and talent in acting. If possible, I want to act together with my sister in a drama." Giselle said. Her voice is full of passion.
"I see." Director Jamie nodded her head in understanding. "Okay, so here is my feedback. The way you portrayed your character is full of energy. I also noticed that you deliberately changed the few lines in the script and acted a little different from the original character of Hannah."
