Chapter 42 You Owe Me A Thorough Explanation

Hadley had previously headed to the Central Cinema in Metropolitan Plaza as Elvin requested to meet the movie director Adonis, who was quite taken with her.

They set a date for her dance audition, and that day had arrived.

Arriving makeup–free so they could style her however they saw fit for the production, Hadley i ediately reached out to Elvin.

“Hadley!”

Elvin rushed over, despite being swamped, and led her to the dressing room where a makeup artist was quickly arranged.

“Join the others outside once you’re finished with your makeup,” he instructed.

“Alright, thank you,” Hadley replied.

The other women in the dressing room, all coming to audition for the stand–in for the lead actress, wore identical makeup and outfits.

Yet, it was her remarkable stage presence that truly captured his attention.

“Right here!”

“Bring her over,” directed Adonis, pointing at the stage where Hadley was dancing.

“Immediately.”

Elvin, sensing a positive outcome, hurried to retrieve Hadley, who he had recommended.
