Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me!

Chapter 8: Audition Opportunity

Daniel maintained a few seconds of silence before speaking, "That's good too. In the entertainment industry, results are what establish an unbeatable position. I've got a script that doesn't delve too deeply into character development, making it ideal for a newcomer like you. I'll send it your way shortly for your review."

Audrey readily agreed.

Daniel continued, "While I've secured an audition for this role, whether you clinch it or not ultimately hinges on your performance."

"Understood, and I'll prepare diligently," Audrey assured.

A thoughtful "Hmm" was Daniel's response. He appreciated artists who exhibited a cooperative spirit.

Having encountered Audrey briefly during the contract signing, he remembered her then-arrogant demeanor. Were it not for the company's arrangement, he might not have considered working with her.

This phone call, however, seemed to carry a different tone. Perhaps he had a preconceived idea.

Setting those aside, Daniel concentrated on the task at hand. The character he had earmarked for Audrey's audition was that of a proud young woman, remarkably in sync with Audrey's persona from their prior encounter.

He had offered her an opportunity; the onus lay on Audrey to seize it.

"Oh, and one more thing. The company has assigned an assistant for you. Do drop by the office at your convenience," Daniel added before hanging up.

"Absolutely, I'll visit the company as soon as I can."

Daniel was very efficient. Shortly after they disconnected, the script arrived in Audrey's inbox. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

Glancing over it within the confines of her car, Audrey couldn't help but acknowledge that Daniel treated her favorably. The moment they started working together, he gave her the chance to audition for the role of the second female lead. Though not inherently endearing, the character possessed a multifaceted personality.

Moreover, after careful analysis, this character was not entirely annoying.

She was a proud daughter of a wealthy family. Didn't she have such a role by her side?

Charlotte, the true heiress, personified precisely such a disposition. Audrey contemplated drawing inspiration from her. Yet, Audrey didn't encounter Charlotte upon returning home last night; she likely wasn't staying at the family house.

Furthermore, the original host of this body enjoyed provoking Charlotte. The eldest daughter of the Lance Family probably wouldn't treat her well.

Audrey sighed. She could only rely on herself to figure it out.

When she returned home, only her mother, Anthea, was there.

Observing her daughter's return, Anthea fetched a bowl of mung bean soup from the kitchen. It was a refreshing respite from the sweltering outdoor heat.

Audrey felt dizzy from the heat outside. This bowl of green bean soup came at the right time.

Audrey savored the soup with evident contentment.

Noticing her daughter's slightly pallid complexion, Anthea couldn't help but chime in, "I did advise against venturing out this morning. Your body hasn't fully recovered, and with the scorching temperatures outside, subjecting yourself to the heat was unnecessary."

Audrey nodded hastily, acknowledging, "You are absolutely right. I'm regretting it now. If I had foreseen this, I would have refrained from going out."

In retrospect, she could have postpone punishing Linda to a few days later.

"I saw that you came back empty-handed. Didn't you buy anything today?" Anthea asked Audrey.

Audrey shook her head. "I didn't buy anything. There's nothing I like."

Anthea hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about Linda?"

Mention of Linda prompted Audrey to recollect the rather embarrassing situation in the store. Linda had acquired a habit of exploiting others. Audrey wondered how many items Linda had cajoled the original Audrey into acquiring.

Though today's outing had been marked by the sweltering weather, Audrey had enjoyed herself. It was just that she was a little frightened when she met Abner and Evans.

"Linda had picked out quite a few things, but she claimed she didn't have enough money on hand. Eventually, she only bought one item," Audrey responded casually, concealing her inner sense of satisfaction adeptly.

A hint of doubt flickered across Anthea's features. She was well versed in the dynamics between Audrey and Linda. Given Audrey's propensity for vanity and her willingness to foot the bills during outings with friends, Linda had consistently exploited this aspect, coaxing Audrey into financing her purchases.

This time, Audrey didn't help Linda pay. Anthea found it unbelievable. "Audrey, do you still have enough pocket money?"

Audrey noticed the change in Anthea's expression and realized that the original Audrey had also kept things from her mother regarding Linda. That's why Anthea was being cautious in her probing.

She sighed, "Mom, I have enough money. It's just that I'll need more expenses after entering the entertainment industry, so I need to save up. Today, Linda did ask me to pay for her, but I didn't agree."

A faint smile appeared on Anthea's face. It seemed that Audrey had indeed grown more sensible compared to before.

This was a good thing. Anthea was tempted to seize this opportunity to advise Audrey to distance herself from Linda a bit, but in the end, she held back. Everything needed to be taken step by step. Saying too much might trigger Audrey's rebellious side.
