13 Chapter 13: I, Scarlett Glenn, Have Returned 2

Sister Mei had arranged for Scarlett Glenn to stay in the City Center, not in the richest part of town, but the majority of people living there were senior white-collar workers, and it was very safe.

The house was small, a one-bedroom apartment with simple and elegant decoration.

Sister Mei said to Scarlett Glenn, "When you become famous, I will get you a better house."

Scarlett Glenn replied, "Sure."

She wasn't picky about the house. When she was broke in Country M, she had gone without even a slice of bread a day.

Moreover, Scarlett knew that Sister Mei's life had not been that easy. After having a falling out with her former boss, Mei had set up her own studio, which was just starting to take off. Her former boss was still putting pressure on her behind the scenes, making things difficult.

Paying one thousand a month to rent this house for Scarlett was already quite good.

After resting for two days, Sister Mei hurriedly knocked on the door and brought in a boy with black-framed glasses and a youthful face, "This is your assistant and makeup artist."

The boy quickly introduced himself, "Hi Scarlett, my name is Maverick Shane, you can call me Thomas."

Scarlett Glenn was a little surprised. She didn't expect Sister Mei to find a young male makeup artist for her who also doubled as an assistant, really squeezing the labor force.

She asked, "Just graduated?"

Thomas nodded, "Yeah... I'm getting my graduation certificate next month."

Sister Mei checked the time, "Hurry up Thomas, get Scarlett's makeup done. We have an audition in two hours."

"Okay..."

Scarlett nodded, knowing in her heart how important this was for her.

No matter what, she had to secure this role by any means necessary.

...

The first audition went smoothly. The assistant director gave Scarlett some lines and asked her to perform on the spot.

After her performance, he told her to come back tomorrow for a makeup test.

Everyone knew that director Fred Hamilton was a very meticulous person. If he didn't think someone was good, he wouldn't let them come back a second time.

This meant that at the very least, Scarlett Glenn's image matched the role. Unless something unexpected happened, she would get the part.

The next day, Scarlett rested well and went to the audition with her assistant.

After two hours of makeup and putting on her costume, when Scarlett came out, everyone stopped talking.

In everyone's minds, there were only two words - crimson dress, unmatched elegance.

This must have been what the ancients meant when they spoke of a beauty who could cause the downfall of a kingdom.

Fred sprang to his feet, excitedly exclaiming, "That's it, that's it, perfect... This is the image of the Noble Consort Ellen I had in mind... Yes... Yes... It's you."

Scarlett Glenn stood there, seemingly walked straight out of his imagination as the perfect representation of Noble Consort Ellen. She was stunning beyond words, enchanting without being vulgar. Her captivating glances alone were enough to steal a man's heart. She didn't need to say or do anything, just stand there and command everyone's attention.

The assistant director asked, "Director, don't you want her to perform a scene?"

Fred's eyes were fixed on Scarlett Glenn, his eyes blazing with passion. He said, "I saw her performance yesterday, it was very good... very good... The others can leave now."

Scarlett's red lips curled up, and she smiled slightly, "Thank you, Director. I will work hard."

At her smile, Fred seemed almost spellbound, "Really... so..."

He couldn't find the words to describe his feelings, as if he had finally found a precious treasure he had been searching for all these years.
