Chapter 23\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was surprisingly determined this time. She didn\u2019t go back to the house for an entire week. Neither she nor Clayton had tried to contact the other person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle was the biggest winner in this situation. Not only did Sienna help prepare her meals, but she had also cleaned and tidied up her place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnna! These braised ribs are so delicious!\u201d Michelle gushed, holding her fork up. \u201cEating the food you make every day makes me feel like the happiest girl in the world!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re exaggerating.\u201d Sienna put more meat on her plate. \u201cI still think that I should pay you some rent for letting me stay here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna had originally planned to stay only a few days. Yet, she ended up staying here for a week. She was starting to feel a bit bad for troubling Michelle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you don\u2019t have to! It\u2019s not like I need that money from you. You cooked for me every day and even folded the clothes\u00a0<\/p>\n
that I left lying around everywhere in the house.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle put down her fork and hugged Sienna. \u201cI\u2019m even a little jealous of Clayton for having such an amazing wife. I wish I could keep you to myself forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on.\u201d Sienna put her hand against Michelle\u2019s forehead and pushed her back slightly. \u201cWhy are you being so cringey while we\u2019re eating? Did you memorize those lines from some weird TV show again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean those words from the bottom of my heart!\u201d Michelle chuckled mischievously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they finished eating, Sienna went back to her studying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t received any good news from any company after attending the interviews. Most of those companies did not select her due to reasons such as her being a married woman and the fact that there were periods of her being unemployed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most of all, it was because there was nothing special or noteworthy about her current design skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge in college, but she had relatively little practical experience. The industry\u00a0<\/p>\n
had been evolving rapidly over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As someone with zero work experience, she must have seemed rather green and unprepared to others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Therefore, Sienna decided to put her plan of finding a job on hold for now. She focused on gaining more knowledge by reading various books on interior design.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She also took notes while watching case study videos that famous interior designers had released online. She did all these preparations to avoid looking ignorant during her next interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This afternoon, Michelle dragged Sienna, who was supposed to be studying, along to a hotel near Horizon Film Studios. People had lined up along the corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some of the actors were practicing their acting by themselves. A few were crying out loud, begging for mercy, whereas some were trying to give the most vicious, menacing look with their eyes. Sienna was amazed by how focused and serious these people were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She heard that a renowned director would be directing this period drama about the story of a female general, Estelle Stant. They had received an investment of up to nine figures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle started feeling a bit bored after working as a model for two years. She was keen on trying out acting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been doing that at home for the past few days. Michelle would randomly switch between the roles of a corny man, a villainess, or a naive heroine. Sienna often felt dumbfounded by Michelle\u2019s strange actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michelle was extremely excited as she arrived at the venue since she finally got a chance to join an audition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After getting her number, the two of them sat in a corner of the room. Sienna flipped through the booklet detailing Estelle\u2019s biography. She lifted her brows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a model who\u2019s just started trying out acting, yet you plan on auditioning for one of the more prominent supporting roles? That\u2019s no different than an elementary school student taking the SAT.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle patted her chest and said confidently, \u201cThere\u2019s no harm in trying. I might just land the role if I\u2019m lucky enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes lit up just then. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you join the audition too? I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll beat all the ladies here with your good looks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna shook her head and rejected the idea without even thinking about it. \u201cI have no talent or interest in acting. We had to shoot a video for a group assignment during college. We had to do over 20 takes because I\u2019d start laughing whenever I faced the camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe director couldn\u2019t possibly stand me doing that during actual filming. They might even want to beat me up if I do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUgh\u2026 I\u2019m getting nervous hearing you say that. I need to release some of that nervousness.\u201d Michelle clutched her tummy and hurried toward the restroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna helped watch over her seat while she was away. As she continued reading the biography, Sienna suddenly detected the smell of strong perfume.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSienna Winger, don\u2019t tell me you\u2019re here for the audition too?\u201d A woman in thick make-up strutted over to her in high heels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna lifted her head and saw that it was Rosa Sutton. She and Rosa went to the same high school and college.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them hardly knew each other at first. However, Rosa was the leader of the group of girls who bullied Melody in high school. Sienna had gotten on Rosa\u2019s wrong side ever since she helped Melody.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even after Sienna had stopped being friends with Melody, her relationship with Rosa was still the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna took a glance at the name tag on her chest. \u201cAre you the producer of this show?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy? Are you thinking of securing a role through the back door?\u201d Rosa crossed her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna looked at her from top to bottom and said mockingly, \u201cI\u2019m not even sure if the back door you provide really works. I\u2019m afraid it\u2019ll only be an empty promise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHa!\u201d Rosa scoffed. \u201cI\u2019ve invested in the show\u2019s production. I can pick whoever I want to appear in this show!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
