Chapter 26: Chapter 26
The people inside the building were left amazed and starstruck. They never thought to see Francheska today and it seems like she will watch the audition inside. The auditionees suddenly feel pressured and excited. Francheska is a well-known actress not only in their city but also abroad. Because it seems like she will stay inside the audition room, the auditionees outside want to show their talents and make the director and Francheska to be impressed with their acting skills.
Giselle cannot hide the frown appearing on her face. She suddenly pulled the arm of a staff who was passing by and pointed her finger at the audition room.
"Why is Francheska here?" Giselle asked.
The staff was displeased with Giselle's attitude but she chose to hide her thoughts. Who is she to ask why Ms. Francheska is here or not? She is just a nobody who is hoping to get a role in this drama. She is not yet fully discovered and her attitude is already brash and rude.
"Ms. Francheska is one of the judges for today's audition." The staff briefly explained before pulling her arm, leaving Giselle standing from her spot.
'That bitch is a judge for today's audition?!'
Giselle did not hear anything about it. She doubted that even her sister knew this. All she knew was there will be a celebrity judge for this audition. She did not truly expect that bitch to be that celebrity judge!
"Brother Iñigo..." called Giselle pitifully.
With Francheska's appearance in this audition, Giselle knew that her path for getting the role will be full of thorns. Giselle has to make sure that she has Iñigo's backing this time in order to get what she wanted.
"Do not worry. I told you, didn't I? As long as you do your best, you can get the role." Iñigo reassured her.
"But what if..."
"Stop thinking nonsense now, Giselle. Focus your mind and concentrate on your script."
Because of Iñigo's stern words, Giselle cannot do anything but to pressed her lips together tightly. She just quietly followed the line of auditionees. It would be bad if she will complain more in front of Iñigo. It is better to keep quiet for now.
Iñigo, who was left in the lobby, let out a sigh. He knew what kind of worries Giselle was thinking about. Knowing their personal conflicts with each other, Iñigo cannot blame Giselle for being anxious today. But she does not really need to feel that way.
Iñigo knew Francheska since they were five. Both of their fathers are very close so it was natural for him and Francheska to become friends. Even if Iñigo is dissatisfied and displeased with Francheska now, he still knows her personality. Because of that, he is confident that Francheska will not reject Giselle for today's audition without any good reason at all.
Francheska never mixed her work and personal affairs. If Francheska will really disapprove of Giselle for this audition, then it is because she is lacking in her acting. Francheska will never abuse or bully Giselle inside the audition room because of their personal problems.
When Director Jamie saw Francheska, she put aside the script she was reading and gave her a big hug. Director Jamie is a fifty-five-year-old director who is already a veteran in the showbiz industry. While filming abroad a year ago, Director Jamie got a chance to meet Francheska there and they quickly became friends. Francheska left a good impression with the director and it was also the same with her. So when Director Jamie invited Francheska to help on an audition for the drama she was in charge of, Francheska quickly agreed.
"You are still the beautiful girl I met abroad." Director Jamie said. "So have you seen the auditionees outside? Who do you think will pass this audition?"
"Director, you are talking as if you will eliminate them once they commit a simple mistake."
"I am a perfectionist, my dear. Even if this drama is just a small project, I still want it to be a good-quality show."
"Of course, director. That is right!" Francheska approved with a smile on her face.
"Did your manager told you about my offer?"
"About my special guesting in this drama?"
"That's right. I think you will fit the role I had chosen for you." Director Jamie proudly said. "Your costume and props are also prepared."
"Director, I did not give my approval yet."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and accept it."
Francheska suddenly laughed after she heard the director's word. Francheska promised the director that she will give her final answer before this audition ends. After exchanging a few more words, Director Jamie called her staff to announce that they will now officially start the audition.
