Edie was late for her audition because of Zoe. It was ten o'clock when she arrived at the Movie Tower. Rhoda stopped and parked her car in the underground parking garage. Edie took the elevator to the eighth floor to the audition. As soon as Edie entered through the door, she saw a large crowd of people gathered together.
There was a space in the middle of the floor with a three-meter platform. Not far from the platform, there were five or six tables, and chairs and three people were sitting together. To discuss what? Edie wondered.
A female actress was on the platform auditioning. The actress would nod her head whenever someone told her what they wanted her to do. Edie could only see the back of the actress's head, so she had no idea who the actress was.
She whispered to an assistant next to her, "Who's auditioning?" The assistant glanced at her, and she could tell that Edie was not a big star. She said in a cold and impatient voice, "Janet Hayes."
