    As Balfour watched her leave the room, his gaze was shimmering with an unspoken depth.


    Quinton worked at lightning speed, setting up the studio really quick and even getting in touch with


    some extras for Ivy to choose from.


    Ivy selected the most suitable extras based on the ‘script’ she’d prepared in advance. After a quick


    rehearsal, everything seemed to be on track.


    When the time for the audition arrived, ra made it a point to rise early and get dolled up.


    This was a golden opportunity for a screen test and she was hell-bent on nailing the part!


    First impressions mattered a ton, and she intended to dazzle the director with her beauty and acting


    chops!


    She was super content with her mirror image after she decked. And she strutted downstairs in her


    heels.

    “Looking absolutely fabulous today, ra!” Tessa smiled, showering her withpliments.


    Basking in the praise, ra beamed, “I’ve got a screen test today. Had to look my best, didn’t I?”


    “Oh, with you looking this stunning, the audition’s going to be a breeze, Tessa said with a grin,


    practically ushering ra out the door.


    Once ra was out of sight, Tessa’s smile vanished.


    Upon arriving at the designated location, Ivy’s arranged “assistant director” was already waiting eagerly


    at the entrance.


    “You’re ra Dunhill, right?”


    “Yes, that’s me,” ra replied haughtily, tilting her chin up as she greeted the “assistant director,” “I was


    contacted by the casting director for a screen test!”


    “Follow us, please!” Following the scripted scenario they’d rehearsed, the “assistant director” led ra


    into the studio, “Ms. Dunhill, the ‘director’ hasn’t arrived just yet. Why don’t you wait here for a bit?”


    ra’s eyes lit up as she surveyed the impressively professional studio, thinking to herself how well-


    funded the production seemed.


    “Is this where we’ll be shooting?”


    “Yeah, this is just one of the spots for interior shots. A lot of our scenes will be on location.”


    The “assistant director” answered. As he did so, he looked a few feet away and greeted with a smile,


    “The ‘director’ is here. Let’s go.”


    ra hurried over, but her heels slowed her down and her eagerness to move faster made for a rather


    extravagant walk.


    Ivy, watching from the shadows, couldn’t help but smirk.


    Finally, ra reached the “director, and hastily fixed her hair, “Hello, Director. I’m ra and I’m really


    eager to join your crew.”


    The “director” looked ra over and nodded in approval, “Indeed, you fit the role perfectly. Orion, hand


    Ms. Dunhill the script and take her to prepare for


    her scene.”


    ra’s heart swelled with pride upon the director’s praise and she eagerly took the script from the


    “assistant director”, Orion.


    She flipped through the script, scanning the character profiles and plot while her expression soured


    instantly, “Wait, I’m supposed to y this Quincy character?”


    Orion leaned in, ncing at the script, “Yes, Ms. Dunhill. Quincy’s the role you’ll be auditioning for
