My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 83

"Isn't it obvious?"

Isabella scrutinized the requirements carefully, her brow furrowing in thought. These descriptions, why did they sound like they were describing a specific person?

At the Lockwood Group's headquarters, on the top floor.

Cedric entered the CEO's office, placing the iPad with the audition form in front of the man.

"Boss, the ‘Realm of Illusions’ project is all set according to your instructions. We currently have a dozen actresses signed up to audition for the lead role, including Ms. Nightshade. Auditions are scheduled for tomorrow at 2 PM, north side of the Glory Building."

Orion skimmed the document quickly, his eyes landing on the last few words, “Clear my schedule for tomorrow afternoon.”

"Got it!"

Cedric, looking over the “Realm of Illusions” main character recruitment info, couldn't understand why so many were eager to be mere cannon fodder since the detailed requirements for the lead role matched practically Xanthea’s.

At Lakeside Manor, the Nightshade family estate.

"Zora, I've got to head for an audition, won't make it for dinner, no need to prepare anything."

Xanthea came downstairs, bag in hand, and Miranda, surprised, exclaimed, “Audition? Are you auditioning for ‘Realm of Illusions’ too?”

Too? Xanthea squinted at her.

Miranda continued, “I'm auditioning too. Can you take me with you, Sis?”

“You’re auditioning for Phoenix too?”

“Of course not! Starlight Media’s blockbuster production, they’ll want a top-tier celebrity for the lead. I’m going for the supporting role of Vivian.”

Vivian?

In “Realm of Illusions”, she was the male lead's childhood friend who always acted like “one of the buddies”, but behind his back, she bad-mouthed Phoenix and played dirty tricks, nothing but trouble - a perfect fit for her.

“I’m auditioning for Phoenix.”

“Huh?” Miranda faltered, and then quickly added, “But you’re different, Sis. Even as a newcomer, your talent and beauty stand out among those top actresses. And these days, films love fresh faces!”

Christopher, hearing both his daughters were auditioning for the same film, was delighted, “That’s wonderful! If you both get parts, it’ll be great to have each other on set.”
