Chapter 8 - Chapter 7: Getting a role

When Olivia and Elaine got home, Olivia arranged all the new stuffs she bought for her daughter. Her mind went back to when Elaine had called President Lee 'daddy'.

She looked at where Elaine was seated and saw her saying repeatedly. "I saw daddy, daddy held me." She was saying it and hugging her teddy at the same time.

Olivia watched her daughter, her heart ached. It was sad not to know who her child's father was. She just wished she could meet her child's father. It might not have been his fault too. That night, he might have been drunk like her too, so, she wasn't going to blame him. He would be forgiven, especially because he gave her a lovely daughter. She just wished to meet him, to know him.

She finished arranging the stuffs she bought and went to her daughter. She bent beside Elaine and hugged her. "You are a sweet child," she said.

Elaine hugged her back. "You are a sweet mommy too," she said.

Olivia smiled and showered Elaine with kisses.

JL Villa

The cold, handsome figure stood at the window staring into the darkness of the city. He was naked to the waist and was holding a mug of tea.

For some reason, his mind went back to the lady and little girl he met earlier that day. Subconsciously, he touched his face. Did he look like the child's father? Or, does the girl just call anybody she sees 'daddy'? But why did he feel so strange when the girl had called him that? It was like...

Radiant World

Olivia was fully prepared. She had memorised and praticed everything about the script she was given. She made sure she understood everything about the character. All she hoped for was to pass the audition and be given the role.

The title of the film was going to be 'ENMITY'. It was about two sisters. Olivia didn't know who the female lead was going to be,but she was to audition for the role of one of the sisters.

In the film, there were two sisters, Anne and Alexandra. Anne looked like a pretty easy going young lady with everything she wanted. While, Alexandra was the opposite of Anne. Anne was the main charater of the film and Olivia didn't know who would be given the role.

"I bet you've done all you need to?" CEO Dale asked when he saw Olivia.

"Yes sir," Olivia replied him.

"I'm not in charge of the audition, but I think I've done my best by letting you take part in the audition. I know the role might be too difficult for someone who has never taken part in a film before, but I've got high hopes for you." CEO Dale said.

"I'll make sure not to dissappoint you sir, I'll put in my best," Olivia said.

"If the audition goes well, I'll treat you to a nice meal."

Olivia only smiled.

At the audition, Olivia watched the other actors and actresses as they played the role they were given. While the others were rehearsing theirs, she just watched the ones auditioning. She had memorised the script so well. Now, all she had to do was to see and understand how the judges were picking the right people for the role. She wanted to see what she had to do, and also what those that weren't chosen were lacking.

She already knew who the female lead was. It was her step-sister, Amelia, how nice indeed. If Amelia was the main lead then, Amelia would be playing the role of Anne. Thus, it added to the reason she had to get the role.

Finally it was Olivia's turn. She drew in a deep breath and walked to the stage. She was given all she needed. She picked the sword and made her hair into a mess ready to act.

Where Amelia was seated, she scoffed. There was no way Olivia was going to get the role. She had never acted in a film before, and this role needed an actress with at least a few years of acting. She sat still, wanting to enjoy Olivia make a fool of herself.

Olivia turned to the judges and started her show. She began according to the scripts with a devilish laughter.

"Ha! Ha! What do you think? I'm pretty sure you thought it was over, huh? Look at me Anne, do you think because you've got everyone on your side it would really be over? Do you really think I'd die just like that? No, I can't die yet, I really can't die yet, Ha! Ha!" She laughed for a while again and then the expression on her face turned scary and very threatening. "I'm not gonna die yet, I promise you. I still have a lot of things to do, I still have to MAKE YOU PAY!" Olivia had acted with the right expression. She had even turned to Amelia since she'd be playing Anne in the film.

Amelia couldn't believe Olivia could act so convincingly. Olivia had even turned to her and had said those words like she actually meant them. It was like there was more meaning to thise words than just being what was written in the script.

"SPLENDID!" The script writer, who was one of the judges stood up after Olivia ended her audition. "That was superb! I actually felt like Alexandra was brought to life for a moment. If there's no one else auditioning for Alexandra's role in the film, I'll pick this actress." He said.

"Yes," Olivia was excited. She got the role, she really got it.

Finally, she gets her first chance to act in a film. Her dreams were coming to reality. She was on cloud nine.

"I won't disappoint you sir, I won't disappoint everyone," she said happily and bowed.

Meanwhile, someone felt angry and uneasy about it.
