Chapter 35 Why Are You Wearing A Mask

“Orville? Are you sure?” Rayna was astounded after getting a good look at the man. She was a fan of a few popular thriller films directed by the man.

“Yeah! It’s him.” While dragging Rayna along toward him, Roxanne lowered her voice and reminded her, “Rayna, don’t talk recklessly later, okay? After all, I’m only an obscure actress.”

Rayna was utterly speechless. I reckon she’s the only obscure actress chosen as a spokesperson for luxury brands like Dior and Valentino!

Soon, Rayna and Roxanne stood face-to-face with Orville. Knowing that Orville was from Ferropene and disliked Anglandurn, Rayna greeted him in Ferropenian, “Good evening, Mr. Orville. It’s an honor to meet you in person.”

Impressed with Rayna’s high fluency in Ferropenian, Orville began chatting with her enthusiastically.

After making small talk with Orville, Rayna introduced Roxanne to him. She emphasized that Roxanne was not only her younger sister but also a new actress who liked his films very much. Meanwhile, Roxanne could only beam sweetly at him as she did not understand Ferropenian.

Evidently, Orville was relatively pleased with Roxanne’s looks. He gave Rayna his business card and asked her to tell Roxanne about the date and venue for the audition. Rayna smiled and took the card from him.

After they walked away from Orville, Rayna handed the business card to Roxanne before bending down to massage her ankles which had started to feel sore.

This pair of heels are pretty, but too bad it pinches my feet.

“Wow, Rayna, you’re awesome!” Gawking at the business card, Roxanne was in disbelief. “It never crossed my mind that you’ll be able to obtain Mr. Orville’s business card!”

“Don’t build castles in the air. It’s just an audition. Don’t you know that you might be competing with several dozens of people for one particular character?”

Roxanne giggled. “No problem. After all, I have plenty of time now. Who knows, I might be shortlisted after the audition. As long as I have the opportunity to act in his film, I’ll have the chance to gain popularity even if I only get to appear for a few seconds!”

Pursing her lips, Rayna stated resignedly, “Fine. Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, since I’ve helped introduce you to the director, can we go back now?”

Thinking that Jefferson was somewhere at the cocktail reception as well, Rayna had her heart in her mouth. She was worried stiff that she might run across him at any moment. Regardless of how posh the cocktail reception was, she was no longer in the mood.

“Rayna, we’re only here for scarcely half an hour. It’s too early to leave now,” Roxanne grumbled as she scanned the surroundings.

Where is he? If I leave right away with Rayna now, I would’ve failed to accomplish my mission!
