Jasmine rushed back to her rented small apartment after leaving the hotel. Jenny must have been very anxious since she had not been back for a whole night. Besides, she was going to have the last audition that day.
"Jenny, I am back." Jasmine was about to call out once she entered the room, so that it could be heard by Jenny. But she stopped in the middle of it, for seeing Jenny Qin sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Jenny Qin was a young lady of Qin family, a rich family. Regardless of her family’s objection, she moved into this small apartment with Jasmine. Giving up the superior life with everything provided, now she was making a living by writing stories.
In Jasmine’s mind, this loyal and generous bestie was the most important person to her.
Jasmine did not wake up Jenny, but walked into her own room and took a quick shower. She changed into a skirt in accordance with the audition, put on light make-up, and went out. She also sorted out the blanket cover Jenny before leaving.
"It seems that Jenny hasn’t had enough sleep recently. She must have worked too hard. I have to persuade her not to spare no effort in writing. She would breakdown sooner or later."
Watching the magnificent buildings in front, Jasmine got mixed feelings. After all, it was because of the audition that she lost her virginity. About Edward, she had a complicated mood now. It was kind of unacceptable that the perfect guy in her mind turned out to be totally different from what she thought before.
Tossing her head, Jasmine tried to get the mess out of her head. "Today’s audition is not like before. It is so important that it would depend if I would get the role of leading actress. I should never been upset by such a crap. Find another idol to worship and at the worst, try hard to avoid meeting him in future." Jasmine thought.
Unfortunately, chance contrives better than we ourselves. Or was it their destiny to meet each other? Otherwise, why would she meet Edward, who was smiling and hailing her in the entrance of the washroom at the audition?
"Hi, we met again." Said Edward. Immediately after he was out of the hotel, he called Brad Xi, his best friend and agent, and asked him to look into the guest living in Room 419. Brad really had a lot on the ball, and it only took half an hour for him to get the information. Not only did he know that the cutey he had met last night named Jasmine Shu, a new comer of his company, but he also knew the reason why she would show up there.
"It just turned out to be a young performer who wanted to cut a dash by backdoor deals. Apart from her body, which could make me get it up a bit, the woman has no difference with those who want to hook up with me at all. Still pretended to be reserved this morning. But we have already had sex last night. Does she want to play hard to get with me?" Edward thought.
"However, whoever I had a crush on never try to escape." Edward though. His eyes became very dangerous as a wolf peeking at night.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Chu. I thought we just met today, and you must have confused me with someone else." Jasmine was intended to pretend not to know him at all. But thought twice, she felt that she could not do that. It was rather ridiculous to pretend not to know him, for that nobody didn’t know Edward Chu in show business.
"Oh? I confused you with someone else? I don’t thinks so. I think I have a rather good memory, Miss Jasmine Shu." Said Edward, watching Jasmine and a kind of smile forming on his lips. As expected, Jasmine looked at him with staring clear eyes. "How could you know my name?" at a loss, Jasmine thought.
"Why are you so surprised? I will certainly find out your name as long as you are in Pictures Entertainment Company." Said Edward. Indeed, even if posing a look of spanking, a handsome was still charming to the eye. But in Jasmine’s eyes, Edward was merely a man who needed a spanking.
Seeing Edward being so self-satisfied, Jasmine just stopped pretending. "What exactly do you want? Do we have any other intersection except the mistake we made last night? I have never offended you before." She spoke frankly.
Edward reached out his arms to the wall on Jasmine’s both sides. The man who was a head taller than her made Jasmine feel an intense constriction in the chest. "I know you are eager for the role of leading actress in this TV series." Said Edward. "As long as you promise to be my lover, I can guarantee that not only in this show, but you would also get the leading role in all other series form now on. However, I should be the leading actor." His lip smiled, which looked charming and tempting. Only few people would say no to such favorable terms, but Jasmine was precisely one of those who would refuse.
Clap! Jasmine slapped Edward on the cheek out of anger. Staring at Jasmine, Edward covered the side of his cheek slapped. Jasmine had never been a weak woman, and just one time of insulting like this was enough for her. "I’m warning you. No more humiliation!" Said Jasmine. "I would also become the leading actress on my own efforts and performance skills. Let’s wait and see."
"Huh! Jasmine Shu. You should felicitate the fact that I have never lifted my hand against a woman." Edward said balefully. "It is because of this slap that you would never get the leading role of any show. No, you would not get any role of any show!" Immediately, he turned around and left.
Edward had never been treated like this by women before. Repeated refusals had made him so embarrassed, and now the woman dared to slap him! "Well, Jasmine Shu. I will make you come crawling back here and beg my pardon." Edward thought.
Seeing Edward leave, Jasmine felt a bit exhausted. Still she had a fear afterwards. If Edward really decided to come for her, with her present popularity and competency, she could not stand against him at all. Now the only hope rested on those directors, screenwriters, and the original author of this TV show.
Back to the audition area, even if praying that she would not meet Edward again, Jasmine still saw Edward calmly sitting on the guest seat. Edward did not even look at her, acting like they had never met before. But he was rather gentle with the young lady sitting beside him, who seemed to be the author of this series.
"Well, everybody is here. Let’s begin our audition!"
Today’s screen test was in the context that the leading actor believed the supporting actress’s lie, and thought the leading actress had betrayed him so that he wanted to break up with the leading actress. Lines and actions could be improvised, which made the performance harder on the contrary, and actresses must act out miserably disappointment on the leading actor.
After all, they were rehearsing with Edward Chu, the most famous actor, and no one dared to show off performance skills in front of him. Not to mention any awkward behavior. Therefore, the director shook his head after auditioning several actresses, and that young lady, the author of this play, also showed an unsatisfied look.
Jasmine was the last. Seeing Edward, who was leisurely looking at her, she was somehow not convinced. "Why should you decide my future, just with what? And I will tell you with my performance skills that gold will glitter forever." Jasmine thought.
She didn’t say a word, but slowly her eyes were full of tears. Biting her lips, her eyes looked so sad and desperate that everyone on site thought she was going to cry out. However, she held hard back the tears.
Clap! A clear slap echoed in the empty room. She did not say anything blaming him, but gave him a slap, which represented all her moods.
