When Ella reached Oriental Mansion she thought that she was late. But many more people came to audition than she had expected. There were still many people standing in line waiting for their turn to come.
Ella gets her audition number after talking to the audition crew. That is 222.. what a lucky number. Young boys and girls were waiting for their turn to come in the hall. As if thousands of soldiers are going to fight to win the war. This audition was no less than a golden opportunity.
Everyone including her had registered online for the audition and had passed the first elimination round. All those people were of the same level as Ella. The best thing about this audition was that it was completely open and fair. The lead actress and supporting actress were to be selected from among these people. That's why Ella was not worried at all that someone would get a free pass.
Everyone will show their talent and achieve this opportunity based on their ability. It is very rare in the entertainment industry that the lead actress is a fresh face. Ella was just looking for a place to sit when she saw some people coming into the hall.
They were following a woman who was wearing stylish clothes and sunglasses. Every step taken by that girl was very graceful and elegant. Her assistant, her manager and her body guard were also walking by her side. It was clear from the presence of so many people with her that she was very famous.
As the girl thought some people had recognized her. And suddenly people started talking about her in the hall.
"Look... look she is Nova Lopez."~
"Nova Lopez also come here for this audition?"~
"I had heard that she had came here for the lead role."~
"We had no chance infront of her."~
"Whoahhh... what a shock.... Maybe we should stop dreaming about auditioning for lead roles... This role is fixed for Nova."~
"I had seen all her movies, her acting is very good. I am her big fan." ~ "yes.. me too.. Let's go and ask her for an autograph." ~ "yeah.. Let's go."~
Many of the people asking for autographs were Nova fans and they came for supporting roles. There desire to see there favorite actress was immense.
Ella started feeling bad about herself. The girl in the spotlight was none other than her step sister Nova Lopez. Who had given her the deepest wounds and the biggest betrayal of her life. Nova had sold her to someone else for some money.
After all, how could she being a woman, do this to another woman? Nova had changed a lot after 5 years. All the people present were cheering as if they were worshiping her. She had all the glamor and fame, now she is a big actress in the industry and also one of the top actresses.
Ella had no intention of talking to Nova. She saw an empty chair but as soon as she started walking towards that chair, Nova noticed Ella in the crowd. Nova took off her sunglasses and started looking at Ella curiously.
She thought that she had mistaken a stranger in the crowd as Ella but she was acutally Ella.
'No way this can't be possible. Ella would never come to a mass audition like this. She didn't even like acting.' Nova thought. But after staring at her for some time she believed that the elegant girl present in the crowd whose beauty did not even need makeup was actually Ella.
After signing some autographs of her fans, Nova started walking towards where Ella was sitting. She was sitting in the corner far away from the main hall. Ella was very alone and was concentrating on her audition script. She was rehearsing the lines of her script.
As soon as Ella noticed the shadow moving towards her, she looked up and saw that it was Nova. Whose real face was hidden under her heavy makeup. Even though Nova may be beautiful but everything else about her is fake.
"You are Ella, right.. You are really Ella. I am not making a mistake, am I?" Nova still had no idea that Ella knew everything about her and Jordan's relationship. And so she was still pretending to be a good and ideal sister.
"Ohh, Ella when did you come back home. And why didn't you come home?" Nova said. The crowd present, covered by their bodyguards, was unable to hear their conversation. It seemed to all the people present that Ella was asking for an autograph from Nova.
Ella looked at Nova and smiled. "And here I was thinking that you all have forgotten me. Do you think there is still any place left for me in that house?" Ella said.
