Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Although, in the end, she was still restrained by him, Amias could not forget the look in her eyes. The hopeful look that if she persisted she would be free, made him once again stunned.

The person in front of him…

…was like a person that had jumped right out of his script. She was so realistic and relatable.

But, Emma’s performance had come to an end because of time constraints…

The judges were speechless for quite some time afterwards. They could not believe that someone was capable of acting so realistically that it made them break out in a cold sweat…

Amias also froze in place. It took him quite some time before he finally recovered from his daze. He had never seen an actor with such convincing power.

For the sake of the role, she allowed it to fuse with her life.

Others acted; they acted as someone else. But, Emma became the character and was merely performing as herself!

Amias was extremely regretful. How could he have assumed that Emma couldn’t do action? Amias hated using stunt doubles because he felt it ruined the dynamics of his films, so he wondered…

“Do you use stunt doubles?” Amias asked straightforwardly.

“I did not use one in ‘Stupid’ nor ‘W.H.'” Emma replied. “Regardless, I’m willing to learn even the hardest moves myself.”

“Great,” Amias nodded his head firmly. He then pointed to Emma and said with certainty, “I don’t want anyone but you for ‘The Lost Relative’!”

Hearing this, the other people in the room were shocked again. They had never heard Amias say such words to an actor during their audition.

Not only this, he immediately turned to his assistant and said, “The female lead has been decided. Following on…we will audition for the supporting roles.”

“Thank you, Amias,” Emma bowed thankfully.

“I have one last question before you leave. I was sure I told someone to notify you the auditions were at 3pm, how come you arrived early?” Amias asked straightforwardly. Since Emma had arrived, it meant she was an intelligent person. He did not need to talk to an intelligent person in a roundabout way.

“I arrived at 9am,” Emma also replied straightforwardly, “Regardless of the time, I was determined to get the role.”

What Emma meant was – for the sake of the role – she had made a lot of preparations. She even arrived early and waited patiently without revealing the dirty methods that had been used on her. She did this to save Amias some pride.

And Amias responded, “I deliberately made things difficult for you.”

“But, it’s obvious to see that you were born for this industry!” After speaking, he returned to his seat, “You may leave. We can discuss your contact tomorrow.”

“OK,” Emma nodded with a smile. She then exited the audition room as the judges sipped frantically at their glasses of water.

“She’s quite frightening…I’ve never seen anyone capable of getting in and out of character so easily. I can’t believe she’s only been acting for less than half a year.”

“But, the act of studying other people is something she’s done for the last decade,” Amias responded. “What I’m most surprised with, is the fact that her fighting moves are quite imp**ssive. It seems she has done a lot to prepare for this role.”

“I guess you have no way of rejecting an actress like this?” the other judges laughed. “I wonder how she managed to make me break out in a cold sweat from watching her.”

“This must be a gift from God.”

Even if God had given her the talent, without hard work, how would she have amazed everyone?

Amias was well aware of this. Especially since he noticed the bruises on the back of her hands. It seemed, she had high expectations for herself.

Elder Roberts was still seated in the hidden corner as he nodded his head in approval. His granddaughter-in-law had quite a personality. It was definitely worth his time to continue analyzing her.

“I heard the female lead has been decided…Did you guys hear about it?”

“That’s impossible! Half the candidates haven’t auditioned yet.”

“It’s true. I have a relative in the production crew. According to my relative, the female lead has been set…”

“Who was chosen? It must be Harlow, right?”

The remaining candidates slowly heard of the news. As for the people called in for auditions, they were all notified by Amias’s assistant that they were only auditioning for the supporting role. But, even if it was just a supporting role, they still competed fiercely. After all, even an extra in Amias’s films had a chance of making a breakthrough.

Everyone assumed Harlow had been chosen as the female lead, including Harlow herself. After all, fighter roles were practically made for her. Looking at all the candidates, her chances were definitely the highest.

However, to her surprise, that very night her manager was notified by the production crew that Emma had secured the role of female lead and asked if Harlow would like to play the role of her older sister.

“How many benefits did Kaleidoscope bribe Amias with?” Harlow stood under a crystal light as she crossed her arms and questioned her manager.

“From what I heard, Amias has already sent Emma her contract. Harlow, I suggest we take the role, even if it is just a supporting character. Firstly, this is a rare opportunity, and secondly, you can prove that you are a thousand times better than Emma.”

“Of course I’ll take the role,” Harlow closed her eyes and took a deep breath. If not for anything else, she had to at least do it for the male lead of the film. Because the male lead was her boyfriend, Quenton Battenberg, a famous martial arts actor.

They had made a promise to each other that they’d try their best for the roles of male and female lead. But, while Quenton’s role was secured, her role had been snatched from right under her nose!

“Harlow, don’t be upset. The most important thing is being able to act in one of Amias’s films…” her manager comforted.

“What’s the point of saying all this? Who told your PR methods to not be as good as Kaleidoscope’s?” Harlow turned around and clenched the back of the sofa she was sitting on frustratedly. “Forget it. You can’t be completely to blame. After all, we are up against Eric. It would be a surprise if you actually beat him!”

Deep down, Harlow assumed that Emma had secured the role purely because of Kaleidoscope’s effective PR and Eric’s influence. She did not consider for a moment that Emma actually had the skills.

After all, who would want to admit defeat in front of a newcomer?

…

Emma secured the role as she hoped, but Eric was completely heartbroken. As soon as she returned home, he applied every single ointment prescribed by the doctor onto her body.

Emma was sitting on the sofa at the time. Seeing that Eric was quiet, she tried to comfort him, “It’s a little difficult at the beginning, but after I get over this hurdle, things will be a lot easier. These are just small injuries anyway.”

In reality, Emma’s every move today was taught by Eric. So, he was well aware of how badly she was hurt.

“When I was going through your contract with Amias this afternoon, we came to an agreement that you’d return directly home after filming every day,” Eric said as he lifted his head, “At night, I’ll help you rehearse and teach you your fight scenes. I don’t trust in anyone else.”
