Chapter 60: Chapter 60 - A Mindblowing Audition
They walked right in where three people were standing next to one another. In the middle was a young man woman who wasn't any older than thirty years old. However, while that woman may be old, she was similar to Emma in the sense that she looked extremely young and beautiful. Her features were a bit smaller compared to Emma, but it didn't remove the fact that she was a beauty.
On her left, there was an even younger woman who was currently smiling at Clara as if to reassure her. On her right, there was a young man who had an arrogant gaze on his face as he stared at Clara walking in.
Darius quickly managed to recognize the person standing in the middle as it was clearly the movie director. However, those sitting next to her were complete unknowns. He had no idea who they were nor had he ever seen them.
Still, there was a slight chance that they were big shots from how Clara reacted when she saw who would be judging them.
Darius whispered, "Who are they?"
Clara almost fainted when she heard those words, which she explained right away. "In the middle, it's Chloe, the director. As for the two standing next to her, they are very well-known authors. On her left is Aurora Sterling.
She had been there ever since she was five years old, and she even took part in the movie Albert Potter when she was only a child and became extremely famous throughout the entire world."
She took a slight pause and breathed in.
"On her right, it's another known author. You must know of him. It's Tristan Backwood. He's not as famous as the other person, but he has participated in a few dramas that have gotten quite good success overall."
Darius nodded everything she said, noting down the information in the back of his mind.
Now that he took a closer look, he couldn't help but say that he recognized the three people who would be judging.
Aurora Sterling was obviously someone he knew as she would become extremely known even in the future, becoming an A-List Actress. As far as he could remember from the short interactions he had gotten with her in the past, she was quite nice and humble.
Aurora was also quite the beauty with her delicate brown hair and blue eyes. Her body was also quite fit, without an ounce of fat. Well...the fat was only in the right place, her butt, and her breasts. All those things made her an extremely attractive woman.
However, that man, Tristan Backwood, was the worst scum Darius remembered. He could even fight with Colin for the place of worst douchebag on earth. He was one of Yuna's exes in his last timeline, and...let's say that he hadn't been the nicest to both Yuna and Darius.
Seeing them standing there arrogantly only made Darius want to punch him even more. However, he controlled himself, sitting comfortably away from Clara as she was the one going through her audition.
While he sat and watched over Clara, he noticed that Tristan was already snickering at Clara before her performance even started.
'You better show your talent to that son of a bitch.'
Darius's thoughts were interrupted as Chloe spoke up. "Hey, Clara. You're probably wondering why Tristan and Aurora are here, right?"
Clara nodded while keeping a strong, cold facade. Her embarrassed self wasn't anywhere to be seen as she had walked from Darius.
"I am. Are they part of the movie?"
"Exactly, Tristan will be the main lead, while Aurora will be the female lead."
Darius gritted his teeth when he heard that. What Chloe had just said meant that Clara would have to kiss that asshole at the end of the movie...Darius turned his head toward him, and he could already see Tristan looking at Clara up and down as if she were eating.
'I won't let that happen. Clara is mine. Only mine,' Darius declared in his mind.
However, Darius couldn't react right away. He would do that after he got to know Chloe a little more. When he managed to learn Chloe than he will highly suggest for her to kick out Tristan out of his project no matter what.
Nevertheless, he couldn't do that at the moment as he listened in. Clara was absolutely shocked by what Chloe had just said since it meant that she wasn't auditioning for a small movie. With stars like Tristan and Aurora, this movie was bound to become extremely big.
She realized the pressure on her shoulders as she focused even more than before, glancing at Darius before starting her performance.
"I see. It's very nice of you two to be here."
Her nervosity didn't show once as she said those words. She kept her head held up high and continued to talk as if nothing wrong was happening. Clara wanted to show the jury her composure and confidence, and she was doing a good job.
"Alright, well...you can go ahead and start acting the third scene. It's the one with a monologue. For other scenes, Tristan and Aurora will help you."
Clara nodded. She didn't even look at her document; she had already memorized every line inside that document.
She wasn't being overconfident, she simply everything there was about that role, and her practice with Darius only solidified that thought. She looked up and started her monologue without the slightest problem.
The words flowed out of her mouth nicely, and her emotions were highlighted in her voice, making this a beautiful moment. In fact, Darius was completely captivated by her performance, and he couldn't even look away from her and her beautiful figure.
He glanced at the jury, and all of them seemed to be in the same position.
Chloe's eyes were open in particular.
Darius wasn't sure if it was because of the increase in her stats. But Clara was extremely good at acting, the '2' she had next to her stat back when he had first met her wasn't representative at all.
In fact, right as Clara finished her performance. The three of them had their eyes wide open in shock, even Tristan was impressed of her performance.
Chloe was the first one to speak up as she coughed twice to calm her emotions.
"T-This was great..." She muttered. "You're the one for the role...I can see it. What about you two? Do you agree?"
"Yes." The two of them answered in unison.
Darius smirked.
