Chapter 103
“Kace, what was the name of the agency you worked with when you were still an actor?” Selene asked Kace who was watching TV in the living room.
He had come to Xavier’s mansion as soon as she mentioned she was learning self-defense after he returned from his mission.
“What? Why do you ask?” Kace asked, stuffing a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
“Because I want to join an agency,” she replied, slumming on the couch. “I want to join an agency so that things can be easier for me when Michelle releases a fake rumor about me. They can help me in clearing it. Also, I want to take my acting career seriously,” she added.
Since The Sinner was finished, Selene didn’t want to sit in the mansion and do nothing. She could have kicked Robert out of the company and taken over, but she wanted to do it in a way that wouldn’t lead to conflict between her and the board members. She needed their trust and at the moment, they had already placed it on Robert.
Instead, Xavier offered to plant a mole at the company—someone who would provide her with information regarding the company’s performance and the CEO’s actions. She was hoping to uncover something illegal, which would make her task significantly easier.
“That makes sense. Having an agency means you have an extra backup. The name of the agency was Dreamscape Entertainment,” he responded, stuffing another handful of popcorn in his mouth as his eyes focused on the movie displayed on the TV.
With the amount of focus he had on the movie, Selene could only hope he didn’t mistakenly stuff the popcorn in his nose.
Selene had heard of Dreamscape Entertainment. It was one of the best entertainment companies in Radiantia. It was the home to many A-list, B-list, and many kinds of actors and actresses out there. It was home to some models out there too. Also, it was Martha, Liam, and Michelle’s agency.
“Dreamscape doesn’t sound bad at all,” Selene said. “Michelle is one of their idols right?” She asked Kace, who nodded. “Dreamscape it is,” she confirmed. “But, how am I going to grab their attention?” She wondered, scratching her head.
“Haven’t you heard? Dreamscape is scouting for newbie idols to train to become the best they can become. But I doubt you would need that,” Kace explained, still his focus on the TV.
Selene wanted to be annoyed with how strong his focus was on the TV, but didn’t bother since he was replying to her questions.
’I guess his attention can be at two places at once,’ Selene thought to herself.
“What do you mean?” Selene asked, confusion etched on her face.
“You are Selene Jones. You starred in The Sinner which is currently trending on all social media platforms even though the movie hasn’t been released yet. All you need to do is show your face at the company and they will accept you without any need for an audition,” he explained.
Selene didn’t know whether to think Kace was drunk on popcorn or in the movie.
“That’s not how entertainment industries work,” she said. “I will have to audition,” she added before picking up her phone and checking the requirements for the audition in Dreamscape Entertainment.
When she had mastered everything, she sighed in relief. All she needed to do was audition the lines in a movie; any movie at all. If she was able to impress them, they would hand out a contract for her to be their idol in training. The task seemed simple and doable, but it was never that easy.
Selene decided to sleep early that day since her body was aching all over. It had only been two days since Xavier started training her. Even though she was in pain, she had started seeing some tiny results.
Selene had already informed Xavier of the audition and he wished her luck.
Arriving at the huge building, Selene couldn’t help but admire the environment. She was about to take another big step in her life; joining an agency.
“This place is huge,” she commented.
“Of course it is,” Kace replied.
For some reason, she wasn’t as scared as she thought she would be when they went inside and were directed to the section where the auditions would be taking place.
There weren’t many people on the waiting list, which was a good thing. She wouldn’t have to wait for a long time. It turned out that the audition started a week ago and would be ending tomorrow.
Selene was about to take a seat when she bumped into someone, and the items the other person was holding fell.
“Oops, I’m so sorry,” Selene apologized and quickly helped the person pick up her items.
“No, it’s okay. I wasn’t looking,” the person said. When the person made eye contact with Selene, her eyes widened in shock. “You are Selene Jones, right p>
“Yes, I am,” Selene hesitated.
“Wow, I’m a big fan,” the girl squealed.
Selene didn’t know how to react. This was the first time she was meeting a fan in person.
“Thank you,” she replied, awkwardly.
The girl requested an autograph and a picture and Selene complied.
“I’m Elizabeth,” the girl introduced herself. “Are you also here to audition?” She asked and Selene nodded. “Ahh… I wish you luck,” Elizabeth added before waving her goodbye.
“Your first fan interaction, hey? Don’t worry, you will get used to it one day. There will come a time you will sign 200 autographs and your hands will almost want to fall off,” said Kace.
“Stop exaggerating,” Selene glared at him.
The both of them waited until it was Selene’s turn to audition. When she entered the room, one of the judges asked her, “Are you Selene Jones p>
“Yes, I am,” she replied.
They glanced at each other, speaking in an inaudible language.
“In that case, you don’t need to audition, Ms. Jones. You pass p>
