YM778.TV Chapter 79: Chapter 79 - Becoming an Actor?!
"Are you ready?" Darius asked Clara, who was still as nervous as earlier, taking deep breaths on her own, calming herself down as much as possible.
She eyed Darius and revealed a smile. "Do I look good?"
She completely ignored his question as she was still nervous about her clothes for some reason. Darius once again reassured her as much as possible, calming herself down.
"I already told you that you look perfect. Don\'t worry everything is going to be fine, and if someone approaches you with bad intentions, I\'ll be right there."
Darius would make sure to keep a close eye on Tristan because of everything that had happened beforehand. After all, today was the day that Darius would ruin Tristan\'s career. The fact that there were so many cameras around would make things even easier. It was only a matter of time before Tristan started acting like the arrogant person he was.
\'You shouldn\'t have called Clara a slut,\' Darius thought with a smirk.
Truth be told, Tristan was the real slut. The man had a great a career in front of him, just like he had now, and he ruined it because of girls and drugs. He had let his desires get the better of him, and hadn\'t been able to keep his head straight through everything.
"Alright, let\'s go. People are going to think something weird is going on if we stay inside the limousine for too long."
Darius looked outside the window, and he could already see dozen of cameras set up, filming their car and at the same time, filming every actor and actress that would arrive.
Darius acted like a gentleman as he opened the car for Clara and helped her out by holding out his hand. Clara blushed slightly when she saw how she acted. However, she still took his hand, coming out of the car like a Goddess.
The cameraman surrounding them at question marks in their eyes as they couldn\'t understand what was happening. Why was such a beautiful girl walking out of a limousine and why did none of them knew who she was?
Whispers started going around right as she walked out of the car.
However, it only fueled her anxiety as she couldn\'t help but wonder what they were saying about her. All kinds of scenarios formed in her mind. She imagined them saying all kinds of bad things about her like how ugly she looked, her hair was messy, things like that.
But, it was the complete opposite.
"Have you seen her before?" One of them asked.
"No, should we know about her? I feel like we should…"
"She has even more aura than Aurora who has the leading role of the movie."
"Maybe she doesn\'t know how to act and only has a pretty face?"
They were extremely confused about Clara\'s beauty. However, the director of the marketing company wasn\'t stupid. He knew that giving Clara a lot of screentime would make things even more interesting for the movie. After all, she was an unknown actress.
The director of the marketing campaign got closer to one of them and silently told all of the camera crew the same exact thing: "Keep an eye on her at all times."
Without any of this knowledge, Clara continued to walk forward in the midst of all those cameras, where she was met with a few familiar faces.
The first was Aurora, who sat in the front row because she was the main lead. Beside her was Chloe, who was tapping her foot on the ground impatiently, most likely due to stress.
"Oh, Clara! You\'re here. Come, you can sit right there," Chloe exclaimed, standing up from her chair and guiding her to the seat right behind Aurora\'s.
Darius took his distance for a bit as he observed. However, he was still close enough to hear everything that would happen between the two of them.
"Did you learn all your lines in a week?" Chloe asked with a worried gaze.
She knew that it could be challenging to do so, especially since it was a completely new character that Clara had never played before. However, when faced with the confident look on Clara\'s face, most of her worries seemingly disappeared.
"I learned everything, don\'t worry."
With those words, Chloe slowly moved away from Clara and sat back down in the first row, tapping her feet once again.
Chloe turned toward Aurora with a worried gaze. "Do you think he\'ll make it in time?"
"Tristan?" Aurora raised her eyebrows. "I don\'t know. I told you we should have chosen someone better for the job. He\'s not reliable enough."
Darius liked what he heard coming out of Aurora\'s mouth. It seemed she also wasn\'t a big fan of Tristan, and that was exactly what Darius wanted.
She also had a similar plan to replace Tristan. However, the only way for that to happen would be if they found an equally good actor, and while Darius might hate Tristan, he had to admit he had some skills and that it wouldn\'t be easy to find a substitute in such little time.
"But who could even replace him?" Chloe asked, following the same chain of thought that Darius had.

Darius tried to think of all the actors he knew who were still unknown at that time. But none of them would do the trick compared to Tristan at the time being.
As he was about to give up trying to find a new actor for the role, a distinct noise echoed in his mind.
