Rise of the Billionaire actress

Deloise was in character. She’d been nervous of the watchful eyes of Daniel Greenwood and the importance of this very audition, and fumbled twice as a result of fear, which earned her a solid rebuke from Daniel, and a last chance of redemption coupled with a pep talk from him to give it her best shot.

Knowing it was her last shot, Deloise recounted her journey and how she’d discovered her passion for creative arts, its consequences and costs so far.

She walked all the way to this moment in order to do what she loved and there was no way in hell she was going to leave a failure. She was far too gone to fail.

Under the watchful eyes of the men thrio, Deloise slumped to the floor. Her face contorted to one with immense pain, and the spectators felt the mood of the room change.

In character, she crawled painfully to the mannequin situated meters away from her. In the scene she was to deliver, she had just found her son, bloodied on the floor, and killed by poison administered by her husband’s concubine.

Acting as a scorned woman, Deloise screamed out the character’s name , shaking vehemently as she crawled up his supposed dead body. Taking the slowest pace possible, she cried her way to his body and attempted touching him.

Her hand hovered over the mannequin, trying countlessly to touch its cold pale body, to no avail. Deloise wept so profusely that at some point, the spectators forgot it wasn’t real and felt very emphatic towards her pain.

Deloise managed to immerse all into the little world she’d created. The atmosphere was tense as they awaited for the final part of the scene to be acted out. The female lead was going to seek out and deal with the one who had caused her such pain.

Eyes reddened and a nose running, Deloise looked up, directly at her judge. Still in character, she said with a vengeance driven countenance displayed upon her face.

” An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” she recited the mantra, heaving in pain and anger. She looked at the mannequin and pointed at the supposed concubine, muttering the last words with an eerie coldness, ” A son, for a son.”

Goosebumps washed over the arms of both Aaron and the director. They’d never seen such realistic acting ever before! Not even from top stars. Daniel on the other hand couldn’t help himself and gave her a standing ovation.

” You got it! You are it! Finally! My lead!” He said happily, clapping at her artistry and smooth delivery of the scene. Daniel was happy that he’d given her another chance to redeem herself despite her previous mishaps. The men trio kept on clapping and throwing compliments to her performance, happy to have found her.

Humbled, Deloise got up and wiped her face shyly. She was surprised by the audience she’d gotten as she’d been so lost in the headspace of the character that she took no notice of her surroundings.

After the cheering, Mr Austin walked up to Deloise,” that was a great piece, looking forward to having you at Royal Arts Academy. I’m the director.” He said, immediately introducing himself.

” Thank you so much sir, I’m Deloise.” She answered politely, still in disbelief of what was now turning her reality.

” I know that dear, I’m just going to let you rest and have someone take you to your accommodations on campus and I’ll get to you later okay?” Mr Austin said, noting the fact that she was probably yet to settle down and had been made to audition immediately she got in.

” No! Let her wait, the rest are on their way. They need to experience this.” Daniel said excitedly, simultaneously typing on his phone.

” They would watch the clip , our star here needs rest.” Mr Austin retorted, stressing his point. Daniel, who had now gotten off the high, remembered she was yet to rest from the flight and a sheepish smile came into his face.

Embarrassed by his manners, he agreed. ” Take care of her then.” Daniel said to the director. Turning to Deloise he apologized, ” Sorry about my manners.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

” No problem.” She squeaked, meaning every word.

” Now that’s settled, Aaron, please take her to the students affairs and see to her safe settlement into Royal Arts.” Mr Austin instructed, stunning Aaron out of his reverie.

Aaron nodded, still lost as he watched the curvy self of Deloise walk towards him. He immediately turned on his charms and put on a smile, but was surprised to receive a poor countenance in return.

Deloise remembered Aaron from his earlier rudeness and wasn’t the happiest to hang with him. Not giving him a time of the day, she spoke upon reaching him,

” Shall we?”

Aaron was stunned by Deloise’s beauty and her acting prowess. Of course he wanted to get off on a great Start with her but he didn’t appreciate the attitude he was getting. Nonetheless, he spoke in a friendly tone.

” That was a bomb act right there. Now I look forward to spending time with you. I’m Aaron Steele.” He said, his hand outstretched with a soft smile as he introduced himself.

” I’m not interested in all of this, please take me to the students affairs.” Deloise retorted with a bored expression, their earlier interaction still fresh in her mind.

‘ He was such a hypocrite! ‘ She thought.

” Hey, hey, hey, I’m being nice here. And you are just being rude.” Aaron said, picking offense.

” Nice? Ha ha, don’t play stupid, okay?” Deloise said, still not giving him a time of the day.

” You know, in this production, I’m the male lead, and in order for me to work with you, you need to reel in the bitchiness.” Aaron lashed, aiming to get back at her and felt satisfied knowing he succeeded.

Deloise countenance grew poor, ” did you just call me a bitch?” She asked incredulously, her distaste for him grew to an all time high.

” Didn’t say that. I just asked that you reel. In. the. bitchiness.” He replied, drawing out each word and having way too much fun from her expressions.

” I’m not about to handle this right now, I’m tired and rightfully need to settle down. I think I’ll help myself from here on.” Deloise said, totally annoyed at the prick and headed out to the hallway, only after did she realize that he was supposed to take her to the students affairs.

Releasing a frustrated sigh, Deloise decided it was better she found her way around herself. She wasn’t looking forward to spending another passing second with the douchebag. With that, she headed out of the block, her plan being to ask questions until she got to the office.
