CHAPTER 46: THE AUDITION
“Wow such an ill fate we have”I mutter looking at Belinda and I saw her winking at one man in the room.
“So, can you read the female lead Gladys’s line in scene 46, “the man says pointing to Belinda and I scoffed what kind of favoritism is this I also heard whispers from outside too since Belinda didn’t bother closing the door while walking in and I am sure she is trying to directly humiliate me.
“Why did you sleep with him when you know he is my man?”, Belinda says blandly. I wonder how she became famous with her acting and I think people outside also think the same.
“Why I am….”.
“That’s enough Georgina read scene 67” I heard a man in a black hat say and when he raised his head low and behold it was director Reynold, I quickly got to work.
I walked towards Belinda and snatched her bag pouring the content on the floor but before Belinda could counterattack I beat her to it.
“Why did you feel humiliated? You think this is unfair?”I asked and she looked at me weirdly.
“You should have thought about the consequences of breaking my trust before you did, “I say, touching Belinda’s face and the cold glint in my eyes almost made her pee her pants.
“But I am going to give you a chance to redeem your mistakes, beg me on your knees or else you won’t like the consequences of my actions”.
After I finished my dialogue I faced the personnel and I was shocked because they all are just looking at me blandly and I thought maybe my acting wasn’t great.
“I am sorry, maybe I have lost some of my…”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Amazing!” I heard director Reynold say, clapping his hands. I saw everyone nod in acknowledgement and I breathe a sigh of relief.
“This is a masterpiece. How did you know the perfect emotions to display with that dialogue?” director Reynold asked.
“Gladys used to be an innocent woman but being hurt over and over again makes her a strong woman, so I thought this emotion is the best for this scene. No one will be happy-go-lucky when you are showing your dark side to someone”.
“And that’s an amazing audition” director Reynold walks up to me shaking my hand “it will be nice working with you Gina and I am looking forward to it”.
“The pleasure will be all mine,” I say, shaking his hand vigorously.
While walking out of the room I saw Belinda standing like a statue.
“Did you think you can snatch a project from me, with that skill “I whisper mocking Belinda and she glares at me.
I walked out of the room beaming with smiles and Kira immediately hugged me.
“Did you see that Kira director Reynold shakes my hand? “I say giggling like a fan girl and Kira looks so pleased?.”I think we will be seeing each other often Manager Bee, oh that’s if your artist gets chosen, “I say to Manager Bee on my way out and I could see the look of admiration on people’s faces while walking out.
“Wow she is so cool” “No wonder she is known as the goddess”people started whispering.
“So, I will be going home now. Do you have a car that will take you to the company?”I said and I saw a sad look on Kira’s face.
“Why don’t you want me to accompany you, u,” she says and I told her that I will let her on it before we start shooting for the movie. After Kira left I decided to call my husband to inform him about the audition.
************************
Inside the CEO’s room Bradley is seen discussing some things with his friends and assistant Jack is jolting down some important details.
“We will need some of your company’s biggest billboards to stand in the country and also we might need some artists with a big fan base that could help with the publicity…”Bradley was saying but he was interrupted by his phone ringing.
“Hi hubby,” Georgina says at the other end of the phone but Bradley didn’t say anything for some seconds and Georgina starts to wonder if maybe the call has disconnected.
“Hubby hubby” Georgina called again.
“Huh,” Bradley answered after getting over the shock.
“Are you okay?” she asked and he answered.
“I passed the audition” She yelled and Bradley could sense that she was very happy about it.
“That’s nice, I am very happy for you, “I say.
“Since I am so happy I am going to treat you to dinner today so come home early” I heard her say.
“Ok, I will come home early”.
“Bye”.
“Huh”.
Bradley got off the phone and met the face of his friend shocked and he wondered why.
“What’s going on”.
“I think I should be asking you what’s going on?”Douglas asked but Bradley brushed him off and he pushed both Frederick and Douglas out after they finished discussing their business plan despite Douglas’s attempts to tease Bradley.
“How is the investigation going on?”I asked assistant Jack while going through some files.
“They found out that the speed breaker was on the highway but they didn’t know how it got there but they are still investigating”.
“It’s been 3 days since the incident and you guys are still investigating what level of incompetence is this ”I yelled, slamming my hand on the desk.
“Tell them to fasten their investigation up. I want the results before tomorrow” I instructed and assistant Jack nodded his head heading out.
After I was left alone in my office I couldn’t help but start smiling when I remembered how sweetly Georgina called me earlier but that was interrupted by a call.
“You this brat” I heard the person from the other side of the phone call.
“Are you not going to say anything? “the person says but Bradley still didn’t make an effort.
“The trouble you cause this time is too huge so you better report to the mansion”.
“Ok I will be there” he replied coldly…
