In the end, Henry didn’t let drive the golf cart because it was already late, and he was afraid I’d crash into sothing in the dark.
When we arrived at the manor, Lando told he’d let know if he found more information about my past case. He also said it could serve as strong evidence to bring down the Davenport family if they were truly involved.
"Thank you, husband." I bent down to et his eyes, smiling. "You really made feel better."
"It’s nothing," Lando said softly. Then he added, "You also made feel better today. Thank you."
I smiled brightly at his words, and after wishing each other good night, we went back to our own rooms.
By then, all the tears and heavy thoughts I’d carried throughout the day had drained completely. The mont my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep.
When morning ca, the first thing that greeted was Penny’s loud voice.
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed your mission: Find the illegal site you saw in the past with Lando!]
[Reward: $40,000 has been credited to your account.]
[Remaining Balance: $220,915]
I groaned softly, pressing a hand to my head that throbbed from her voice.
"That was last night’s quest. Why are you only announcing it now?" I mumbled, pulling the blanket over my face and shutting my eyes again.
[Penny didn’t want to ruin your mont with Lando last night, so Penny decided to delay the announcent.]
I muttered under my breath, "Oh, you’re kind of cute."
But I imdiately took it back when she suddenly scread so loud it made jump.
[Host! Host! Marissa just sent you the details for your next audition!]
[Get up now and do your best!!]
I groaned again and shoved a pillow over my face, hoping it would block her voice, but it was useless since her voice ca from inside my head.
"Okay! Okay! I’m getting up!" I grumbled, sitting up and rubbing my face roughly to wake myself up.
I grabbed my phone and checked the ssage from Marissa.
[Marissa: Helcia, I’ve already registered you for the audition, and I also got so inside info on what the producer will most likely look for when choosing the cast.]
For The Love Beneath the White Umbrella, the producer was looking for a young woman with natural beauty and eyes that still held a spark of youth.
It actually made sense. They probably wouldn’t use much makeup since the story was set in high school, and let’s be honest, eyes that looked like they’d been through war and paying taxes definitely wouldn’t fit a teenage girl.
Well, I did have natural beauty, and as for the "youthful gaze" ... I could pull that off.
On the other hand, for the series My Boss’ Obsession, they were looking for an actress who could still look attractive and sexy even while dressed like a nerd, since I would be auditioning for the role of the male lead’s secretary, and his mistress.
Well, well, well. Who would’ve guessed I’d end up playing characters that were basically Helcia and Lando’s mothers?
It sounded fun ... or maybe a total nightmare.
[The audition for My Boss’ Obsession will be held next week, so you can focus on the Green Leaf Production series first, Host.]
Like I said before, the schedule was way too tight, and so was Penny’s quest deadline.
[There’s no such thing as impossible, Host!]
[As long as you believe you can do it, then you can do it!]
That used to be my motto too, though I still ended up dying anyway.
But no! Penny was right! I couldn’t let negativity swallow up this early in the day.
So I told Marissa I’d start studying the scripts for both dramas soon and might send her a practice audition tape later.
"Alright, let’s do this!"
Once I had a goal for the day, I imdiately felt a surge of energy.
As usual, Lando had already left before sunrise, so I ate breakfast alone. At least that made it easier to finish quickly. After that, I went outside to get so fresh air and read the printed script in my hands.
"The dialogues are kind of cheesy," I complained to my cats, Lingo and Lira, who were lounging beside in the garden. But every ti I looked at their cute little faces, I rembered sothing horrifying; I still hadn’t sent the video of wearing the dragon costu to my followers.
Why the hell did I promise sothing like that anyway?!
I sighed and shook my head, forcing myself to focus again on the overly romantic lines in the script. Marissa had told to go for the female lead role since it wasn’t too complicated for a rookie like .
Marissa had a point, actually.
The female lead was basically a sweet, kind-hearted girl who had been bullied by the male lead since they were in elentary school.
Yes, that was really the plot. I still got goosebumps every ti I thought about it.
I thought The Love Beneath the White Umbrella would be a story about pure love, but apparently, the "white umbrella" was just a symbol of the female lead’s pure heart, trying desperately to shield itself from the storm ... or more accurately, from the male lead’s awful behavior.
How the hell could anyone forgive soone who bullied her that badly?!
If that were , I’d probably marry him just so I could chop off his dick once the wedding was over.
[Host, you can’t act that fierce if you want to play her character properly.]
I let out a long sigh. "Of course, I know that." I added, "I’ve played so many characters before, this one isn’t even the worst."
I started pacing around the garden, reading through the entire script first so I could get a better grasp of the character’s personality.
However, the more I read, the more convinced I beca that this female lead had zero survival instincts, even Helcia was better than her!
