“Be serious, don’t worry about Eric. You have me backing you…”
“I don’t think Mr. Roborts will hold me accountable over something so little,” Amias laughed leisurely.
Elder Roberts had a deep look in his eyes but he did not say another word.
This man obviously did not know his grandson well enough…Towards the entertainment industry, Eric was ruthless and resolute, but when it came to love…he inherited the Roborts Family genetics: he completely doted his wife.
Would he really not hold him accountable?
Did he not see how Eric released the trailer of ‘W.H.’ as soon as someone made a few complaints about his wife? From what Elder Miller concluded, Eric’s every move was for the sake of Emma and to help his wife lay out a path…
“Rascal! You’re certainly skilled at using business for personal gain. Let’s see how your wife handles the drama tomorrow,” Elder Roberts scoffed as he waved his fan.
Humming an old Opera tune, he turned around and left Amias’s room.
…
1pm. Flossie received a phone call from the production crew of ‘The Lost Relative’ notifying them that the auditions had been moved to 3pm the next day; one hour after the original scheduled time.
“Did you find out why they moved it one hour back?” Emma questioned.
“Apparently the director has something on at that time…”
Emma looked down at her script and nodded, “Pick me up at 2pm tomorrow then.”
“OK. In that case, I’m going to go home now Emma,” Flossie bowed slightly as she closed up Emma’s schedule.
Although Emma nodded her head, her cautious attitude, especially after the mistake with her watch endorsement, told her this was a sign that the people-in-charge had changed their minds about something.
So, she immediately gave Lisa a phone call and asked her to check with her sources. After all, there were a few dozen candidates for the auditions tomorrow.
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a response early tomorrow. Emma, you’ve become more and more cautious,” Lisa couldn’t help but point out.
“Because I’ve been tricked too many times,” Emma replied.
Lisa nodded her head in understanding. ‘The Lost Relative’ was an open resource, so it wasn’t surprising for her to come across scheming from competitors. But, Emma would never allow herself to be defeated before even making an appearance. She was never going to scheme against others, but there was no way she wouldn’t be cautious about it.
“Understood. As soon as I get information, I’ll notify you,” Lisa said before hanging up the phone.
Emma put down her phone and looked at the script beside her. Since Eric had chosen it for her, she was definitely going to get the role…
That night, after Eric arrived home, Emma dragged him into the gym and forced him to help her rehearse for 4 hours.
But, in the middle of the night as Emma slept, Eric noticed her body was covered in bruises even though she tried her hardest to hide it.
So, the almighty President didn’t mind getting out of bed in the middle of the night to look for some ointment for his wife.
For the sake of those roughly 2 hours on the screen, actors sure sacrificed themselves… After helping her apply ointment to her bruises, Eric’s heart ached. But, he also realized that this was the true Emma; a woman made from flesh and bones; a woman that did all she could to achieve her goals.
The next morning. Emma received a phone call from Lisa.
“It’s weird, everyone else was notified to show up at 2pm. Why did they tell you 3? Could the audition for female lead be at a different time?”
As soon as Emma received this information, a cold look appeared in her eyes. She then replied, “Thanks, I know what to do.”
“Emma, could it be that someone is scheming behind-the-scenes?”
“I’m not sure, but I definitely need to be cautious of it,” Emma replied gently. “Don’t worry, I can handle small matters like this.”
“I’m not worried about you. I’m more worried about the people that want to go against you.” After speaking, Lisa hung up the phone. These days, she was no longer a manager. Instead, she spent her time as an assistant for Fletcher. Soon she would be assessed on her progress, but in reality, she was more focused on preparing for a child.
Emma hung up her phone and then called Flossie, “I’m going to get ready. Come pick me up for the auditions now.”
“So early?” Flossie questioned.
“Yes,” Emma nodded, “There has been a change…”
In order to quickly adapt to whatever was thrown her way, Emma decided to stay within the immediate vicinity of the auditions…
…
1:30pm. Those that were notified of the audition slowly made their way into the venue. Amongst them was Harlow. She seemed confident that the role would be hers.
Domestically, she was one of only a few actresses with a martial arts background. In fact, her every punch was smooth and full of power. So, most action films would take her into consideration first because of her experience.
Emma was also amongst these hundred-or-so people. She was wearing a plain t-shirt and black cap, sitting in a chair normally, reading through her script with her legs tucked beneath her chair. As a result, everyone overlooked that this low profile woman sitting quietly to one side was actually Emma, the woman that attracted attention wherever she went.
The auditions were held in New York’s Academy of Performing Arts; this was Amias’s alma mater. The hundred-or-so people were currently inside one of the spacious classrooms as they waited to be called in for their audition.
Because of time constraints, as soon as one heard their name, they would enter the audition room as quickly as possible. Amongst these candidates, many exited as quickly as they entered, but many also made it to the 10 minute mark.
“Hey, I thought Emma would be here at the auditions too, how come I still don’t see her?” someone started to gossip to relieve the tension in the room.
Actually, most of the people in the room came from strong backgrounds or had a lot of experience. After all, a famous director’s film couldn’t be auditioned by just anyone.
“She still has not appeared…” Amias’s assistant also notified Amias at this time.
Amias nodded his head, “Make sure to keep this matter a secret. When it’s Emma’s turn, call her name as usual.”
“Understood.”
Elder Roberts was also sitting in the audition room at this time. However, he was watching from a hidden spot.
“Just because she was told it’s 3pm, did she accept it without question? Doesn’t she know how to use her brain?” Elder Roberts was a little disappointed that Emma had not yet shown up.
