Chapter: 399 “Yes,” Jayson replied quietly. “I trust Ms. Edwards, but | don’t have faith in myself.”
“Jayson, don’t be scared. We've come this far, so don’t give up now.” Gently grasping Jayson’s hand, Julissa reassured him, “Let's meet Ms. Edwards’ actor tomorrow. This could be a great opportunity.”
The next day, in the suburb, Tyler and Ariana had arrived at an abandoned factory.
There was no one around, and the only sound they heard was that of a passing car.
“Why did you help me ask for half a day off and bring me here?” Tyler asked, looking around in confusion. “It's for an audition,” Ariana replied honestly.
“What kind of role is that? Why would we need to audition in such a place?” Tyler was even more confused now. This place was completely abandoned and the only people present were the two of them. “Where is the director?” Tyler asked again.
“He’s coming. Let’s just wait.” In reality, Ariana wasn’t quite sure. She had overhyped Tyler’s acting skills to Jayson, touting him as an outstanding actor. But the truth was always that Tyler was relatively new in the entertainment field and unknown to the general public. Considering that Jayson had met countless actors before, he certainly had pretty high standards when it came to choosing actors. ©
The most crucial point was that Jayson placed a lot of importance on the script. Because of this, Tyler might not appeal to him.
Aware of all this, Ariana had to resort to a few little tricks. After studying the script, she specially chose a place that looked quite similar to the setting of an iconic scene in the script for the audition.
While waiting for Jayson to arrive, Ariana pulled out her makeup bag to touch up Tyler’s foundation.
She wanted Tyler to look as much like the character he was to play as possible. So she put a thick layer of foundation on Tyler’s face to make him look vulnerably pale.
“Isn't it too much?” Tyler gazed at his bizarre countenance in the mirror. He looked so pale that he could easily land a role as a ghost. Wait a minute... Was he going to audition for a ghost role?
However, Ariana shook her head and said seriously, “It’s just fine. The character you are to play is extremely pale. In fact, he looks much like a devil. You are close enough to that in my opinion. | had no choice but to put heavy makeup on you because you look so cheerfully exuberant that it would be impossible to take you seriously in this role. ©
As she spoke, Ariana put away the foundation and applied the shading powder to Tyler’s cheeks. Her goal was to make him look depressed due to a prolonged period of anorexia, fatigue, and mental exhaustion. © Tyler widened his eyes in astonishment. What she said sounded super exciting. He was suddenly eager to play the character
even though he hadn’t read the script yet.
“Close your eyes. I'll put some eyeliner on you.” Ariana held Tyler’s face firmly as she carefully applied makeup. She proceeded to meticulously apply a thin layer of eyeliner on him.
Tyler felt a tingle on his eyelids and couldn't help giggling.
“Stop giggling. It’s silly.” Although Ariana said so, she smiled, too. After a while, she said seriously, “When the director comes, you shouldn't smile like that. This role isn’t a happy one.”
“Alright Ariana, I'll keep that in mind.” Tyler then made a long face, and looked sinister. However, as Ariana lined his eyelids, they flickered continuously, making him want to laugh out loud. It was painful enough for him to hold back his laughter like that.
“Done!”
