23 Paving My Way To Stardom (1/2)
The day of the audition, Ara prepared herself and gets a bit nervous for she's not really a big fan of the limelight. She's been letting out consecutive deep breaths, shrugging off negative thoughts away and walks back and forth in the living room. Diego looks at her come and go.
”Ara just sit down will you?”
”Diego I can't help it, I'm getting nervous. The more I wait the more I'm freaking out.”
”You'll be fine.” Their interrupted by Li and Tyler coming down the stairs with some stuff in their hands. Tyler caresses her cheek and gives her a warm and loving kiss on her forehead.
”Diego's right, you'll be fine. We're all here to support you.” Tyler swipes away her hair to the side and puts on the necklace he bought. Ara didnte know that he installed a tracking device on it. Li handed her a pair of earings which will be their source of communication.
”Ara, these earings are made especially for this mission. This will be our way to communicate with each other. Make sure not to keep it cool, also this smartwatch will be our eyes. It has 360 vision so that we can keep an eye on you and the people around you. All will be linked to Slacovich's desktop in his secret room back at his office. It will also transmit on my laptop here at home.” Li explained.
”Is everyone set to leave?” Slacovich and Sofie walks down the stairs. Sofie handed Ara the forms she needs to fill-up.”
”Ara, use your real surname. I've heard that one of the judges for this occasion was an old friend. I managed to get through him and discussed about my prepositions on your audition. You don't have to worry, he doesn't work there but just a guest judge. He's a famous fashion designer in UK.” Sofie puts a lipstick on Ara's lips.
”How did you manage to get in touch with him?” Slacovich raises his eyebrow. He doesn't know that Sofie already made a move.
”Well Mr. President..” she fixed his tie. ”I've done some research of my own, every year they invite famous celebrities, models or fashion designer as guest judge for their auditions. So I figured why not ask someone for that position which also meets the entertainment company's qualification. He just released his new line, so being a judge will also help him introduce his new designs. It's a win-win situation.”
”Did you tell him who you are?”
”Of course, and one more thing. Ahmmm” Sofie looks hesitant.
”What is it?”
”In order for me to go to the facility that time, I faked my death ith General Prius' help. But I never thought my parents were that smart and figured it out. They had my fake body tested, the DNA went negative of course. So they asked my friend about my whereabouts, he doesn't know what happened to me either.”
”That's not a bad thing. We can expand our business in the UK.” Slacovich fixed her hair and smiles.
”That's not an issue at all Sofie, I've even contacted my friend since the day we recovered our senses. I can't do all this stuff without outside help.” Li joined their conversation.
”I really thought that we aren't allowed to keep in touch with our previous life's loved ones.” Diego scratches his nape.
”It's not like that, we're just cautious. Now that we made a name for ourselves we can contact them. As for me, I need to pay a visit with an old friend. Sadly his name's listed on the target list.” Slacovich's expression dimmed.
”We can tackle this over again after completing our mission for today. It will all connect to each other if we collect much more infos. For now, let's go to where we're needed.” Ara smiles nervously.
They all left the mansion, Ara was given an apartment key and some money for her to spend. She needs to hide identity as a Demonfire and will start living alone in an apartment near the House of Flame Entertainment. Tyler drop her at the bus stop and bid his goodbye. Ara doesn't know anything about his plan yet. He pulls over a few meters away from Ara's position and leave when he saw Ara getting inside the bus. He won't be able to see Ara frequently but he'll make sure to pay a visit whenever it's safe for both of them.
