Early the next day, Wang Ji, Liying and Li Zi arrived at the audition hall a few minutes in advance so they might be able to get an idea of what the audition will be all about.
Elizabeth decided to roam around the audition hall when she suddenly bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry…"
The person she collided with looked up at her, she did not say anything and just smiled ensuring her that she was fine and no harm was done.
As the ticking of the clock draws near, the audition hall was filled with anxious models and actresses hoping to be the next endorser of such elite products. They were all so depressed already when suddenly a person came walking down the hall...
"It's can't be, isn't that Yuexi An?"
"It really is her..."
"What's the point now, this is stupid I told you we shouldn't have applied and audition."
With the arrival of the tall figured woman, with skin as white as snow and dressed in a luxurious red dress. She wore a semi-sheer shoulder straps form a modified halter neckline atop a fitted bodice. A skater skirt, composed of lightweight Georgette, flares below a banded waist.
Two bodyguards, a stylist, make-up artist, assistant, and her manager followed her. She really has it all and with her arrival brought dark clouds and wash out hopes.
Liying was amazed as well to see Yuexi An since she was a top international model already. "Manager Wang, it's Yuexi An. What should we do?"
Even Wang Ji was feeling hopeless after seeing Yuexi An since it was already obvious she'll get the endorsement. "Don't worry."
"Everyone look."
Someone pointed at the girl who was heading their direction. She wore a two-set attire in the same beige color, a chic woven crop top with a bateau neckline and short sleeves for a breezy wide cut. Completing the attire with the matching skater skirt, finished with a banded waist and subtle pleating.
They all turned and focus their attention on the girl that was heading towards them. She was not as tall as Yuexi An but has beautiful skin than her at the same time her face was beautifully structured and was hardly covered in makeup.
"Who's that? Her legs are amazing. She sure has such beautiful skin as well."
"Dunno, she must be a new model. But the way, the way she walks seems like a professional model."
Apart from Yuexi An and her team, everyone was captivated by the woman's beauty.
Elizabeth approached Wang Ji who was staring at the people who were gazing at her. "Bro Wang, have they started already?"
Wang Ji shook his head, amazed how the girl was able to bewitch everyone and turn all attention on her. "No worries, you're back in time."
After all the long wait, a man finally came out of the door. "All right ladies, you can all go home…"
Everyone's faces were devastated after hearing what the man just said, while everyone questions why they were sent home without even trying. Elizabeth decides not to join the commotion and head home instead.
Yuexi An's manager approached the man thinking they were the chosen ones. "Excuse me, when will Yuexi sign for the contract."
"I'm sorry, but you need to go home as well."
When everyone who questioned why they were sent home heard that even the famous Yuexi An was denied they all quiet down and started packing their stuff.
"What do you mean?" The manager insisted on an explanation.
"Simple what it means, she was not chosen as the endorses." The man then walked off as he saw the person he is looking for. "Miss Li Zi, wait…"
They were already heading home when they heard Li Zi's name was being called. They paused as they turned around and saw the man running towards them.
"Yes, can I help…"
"The producer and director would like to see you now."
The three of them looked at each other with such a confused reaction to what the man just said.
"Me?"
"Yes, and if you can please put this on and if you don't mind me painting your face."
Elizabeth's hand over her bag to Liying as she grabs the summer sweater covered in paint that the man gave her. She put it on and closed her eyes as the man paints her face. He then also put some paint on her hair.
"I think that should do it, let go now, Miss Li Zi."
Everyone was shocked in disbelief at what was happening, they felt beaten for no reason. The man didn't even acknowledge their efforts, nor gave them an explanation of why all of this was happening.
But no one was more in shock than Yuexi An and her team as they watched the girl entered the room.
...
Inside the room, four people were seated behind the table as they wait for the person.
"President Mu, I think we still need to continue with the audition. If not we can go ahead with Yuexi An, rather than this unknown person."
"Director Tan is right, what if this person is not quite at the standard we're looking for.
"Will see then…" President Mu replied.
The old lady seated by the end keeps to herself...
'I hope you all can still say that when you see her. Who is Yuexi An compare to her? But fate really is kind to me to bring the girl here.'
As the door opened and the man walked inside, he escorted the woman in. That moment they've all been waiting for, they've just rejected everyone else because of this girl and Yuexi An was amongst those girls.
Everyone held their breath as the woman slowly walked inside the room, they all knew by the time she enters she should dress messy and looked would be horrible right now. But when the girl steps inside, not a single part of her looked a mess or horrible at all. Instead, she looked even more charming despite the paint on her face and the dirty sweater she was putting on.
She was like a masterpiece painted beautifully by a master painter.
The old lady's eye gleamed in delight to see the young woman again. Her joy was all over the moon that she could not contain the joy she felt.
"That her…"
