"In that case, you don’t need to audition, Ms. Jones. You pass."
Selene couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How could she pass when she hadn’t said anything apart from, ’Yes, I am.’
"I’m sorry, what?" She asked, confusion laced in her tone. She wanted to be happy about getting accepted, but the speed at which everything had happened was simply unbelievable.
"You are one of the actresses starring in The Sinner right?" One of the judges asked her. "We have already seen your talent, Ms. Selene. There’s no need for you to audition anymore. And instead of joining our company as an idol in training, we would like to offer you a contract to join our agency as an idol," she added.
Selene thought she was dreaming. She had to secretly pinch her arm to be sure she wasn’t.
She recalled Kace saying she wouldn’t need to audition to be accepted, and that was exactly what happened.
"What do you say, Ms. Selene? Would you like to be one of our idols and enjoy the benefits that co with it?" Another judge asked.
Everything had happened so fast, but Selene knew she needed to take things slow, especially when it ca to the contract reading.
"Yes, I would love to be one of your idols," she responded. They exchanged words on when the contract signing would comnce.
Selene left the audition room, resisting the urge to dance out of it instead but she needed to keep her composure.
"You got in," Kace stated.
"I didn’t think it would be that easy," she replied.
She didn’t tell Kace how much everything had happened since he was only going to gloat about it.
They arrived the next day as planned to have the contract signed. Selene ca with her lawyer, the sa one who helped her with Klerene’s contract, and everything was finalized.
In just a day, she had already joined an agency; Dreamscape Entertainnt.
Yna, Selene’s newly assigned manager, decided to tour her and Kace around the company.
It turned out that the company had its gym, where every Dreamscape idol would work out and keep fit. Selene stared at the large gym in awe. So of the idols were already working out.
Selene searched for Michelle who was also working out like the other idols.
Michelle had earphones on, so she couldn’t hear her voice.
Selene walked towards her and tapped her on the shoulder, gaining her attention.
Michelle’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Selene in the Dreamscape gym. Only Dreamscape idols were allowed in there.
"What are you doing here?" Michelle snapped.
"Michelle," Selene called her sweetly. She was in public and she knew better than Michelle she needed to keep her composure and not act out of character. "We are now the idols of the sa entertainnt agency. Isn’t that great? That way, we can hang out all the ti," Selene added.
Kace snickered when he saw Michelle’s skin go pale instantly after hearing Selene’s words.
"What did you just say?" Michelle snapped again, louder this ti. It grabbed the attention of so of the other idols who were working out peacefully too. "You can’t be serious, Selene."
Michelle sighted Kace at the entrance of the gym where Yna was. She recognized Yna as one of the idol managers which only proved that Selene wasn’t bluffing.
"You have to be kidding ," Michelle mumbled under her breath. "Can I speak with you in private?" Michelle asked. Without waiting for Selene to reply, she walked away.
Selene shrugged before following behind her.
They entered an empty corner where people wouldn’t see or hear them speak.
"Just stop with this ga of yours, Selene. No matter how much you try, you can never have everything I have. I’m Michelle Harrison, the daughter of a wealthy family and I’m married into the richest family in Radiantia—"
"But where’s your husband?" Selene cut her off.
Richard was still at the hideout and it had been a while since Selene had visited him.
"You say you are the daughter-in-law of the richest family, but where is your husband? Also, I heard that you got kicked out of the Wallace mansion due to a certain rumor. Am I wrong?" Selene questioned her.
Kace had inford her how his family had kicked her out of the mansion, and Selene concluded it must be the reason Michelle was always glaring at her at the set.
Michelle’s face went red with anger. She clenched her fist so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"And who said I wanted to have everything you have? I for sure know I don’t want to have that ugly face of yours, and the bad reputation you have which keeps increasing every day," Selene mocked.
Out of anger, Michelle raised her hand to strike Selene across the face but the latter held it mid-air.
"This is the second ti you have tried hitting . Try one more ti, and I will make sure raising your hand will be the last thing you ever do with it," Selene threatened. She threw Michelle’s hand away and dusted her palm as if she had just touched sothing filthy.
"You are going to regret this. I will make sure you regret this, Selene!" Michelle barked.
"Regret what exactly?" Selene asked, confusedly. "Regret ssing with you?" She chuckled. "If I rember correctly, you were the one who started this war. You sent Richard to to taint my reputation, then connived with Edna and Miranda. You were asking for to ss with you, so you better not complain now that it’s my turn coz I never did when it was yours."
The more Michelle stared at Selene, the more she had the urge to want to kill her and get rid of her body. That was the only way her life would go back to normal.
"You want to see Richard, right?" Selene suddenly changed the topic by ntioning Richard. "Don’t worry, I will have him delivered to you today. But don’t run when you see him."
