From Fan to Wife(5)

7

Seeing that Jaden was also one of the judges, I bit my lower lip slightly. There was no change in my expression, but my heart skipped a beat.

There were only three judges in total.

One was a former colleague who gave me preferential treatment, and the other was a current lover who had slept with me several times.

There was only one person left with little power to reject me.

It seemed that Roxanne was right. I would succeed in the audition steadily.

Damn it! I was being pretentious!

After the staff left, there was only the sound of three people breathing in the audition hall.

Quade glanced at Jaden and then looked at me with ambiguous eyes as he smiled.

"Natalie, we were just talking about your past."

I frowned and looked at him in surprise. It almost occurred to me that Jaden looked unhappy just now. Was it because of what Quade said?

Quade stared at me for a few seconds and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Why are you so nervous? I just talked with Jaden about the interesting things that happened while filming 'Monochrome' and exchanged our thoughts. I didn't expect that he and I had many ideas about the movie, which were very co-productive, and—"

He paused and looked at me with deep eyes. Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and laughed in a low voice, "Our taste is the same."

Even a fool could recognize what he meant.

I bit my lips and did not understand what Quade wanted to do.

He did pursue me after he stopped filming "Monochrome" five years ago.

Later, I saw him flirting with other women at the same time, but he looked indifferent. He calmly put on his clothes and did not even look at me. "I've always been playing with you."

So, what was going on presently?

At that time, Jaden, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Natalie, I won't do that to you."

I suddenly looked at him, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I seemed to understand what he said, but I did not seem to understand what he meant completely.

Suddenly, I remembered something.

That day, I opened the door of the hotel. Quade indifferently said that he was just playing with me. After that, the paparazzi and reporters followed closely behind him and squeezed in.

That day, Twitter was exploding with the news. The famous singer Yael cursed and announced that his new album launch event would be postponed.

At that time, Quade was already a genius director in everyone's eyes, and I was just an ordinary and transparent person.

The marketing accounts had written a lot about him and the woman, but my name was not even written in it. The whole time, I was written as "an unknown actress ."

When I came back to my senses from the anger, I suddenly realized a problem.

What did Jaden mean?

I could not breathe, and my eyes were fixed on Jaden.

In an instant, an almost impossible guess came out of my heart.

Has he been paying attention to me since then?

It did not seem impossible. After all, he had seen my part in "Monochrome."

"Natalie, I'm not like him," Jaden repeated. His tone was as cold as his aura. It was as frosty as ice that could not be melted, but at the same time, there was some other meaning.

I blinked and looked at him with my heart beating very fast.

He looked at me, his eyes gradually turned from indifference to gentleness, and his thin lips opened lightly. He was sincere and confident.

"He's a jerk. I'm not."

As soon as Jaden finished his words, a woman's laughter suddenly came from the door.

"Oh, has the audition started? Why didn't you two wait for me?"

I looked back subconsciously, and then my pupils shrank slightly.

The woman looked in her early fifties. She was bloated, dressed with jewelry, and had delicate and shiny skin which was well-maintained.

She looked exactly the same as the lady in Jaden's picture.

My face turned pale, and my fingertips were cold.

I did not expect that the third judge would be Jaden's girlfriend.

When the woman saw me, she suddenly said, "Tsk."

She twisted her waist and walked over, looking at me from head to toe, and then smiled at Jaden and Quade.

"This face alone can afford the title of 'Bewitching Concubine.'"

I hurriedly lowered my head, and my heart trembled.

What's more, I was embarrassed.

Quade laughed. "Yes. When I first met Natalie—"

Jaden interrupted him and said in a cold voice, "Natalie, which scene are you going to show us?"

I came to my senses like I had just woken up from a dream and looked up at Jaden.

My thoughts were a mess.

I did not understand why he could be so calm in such a terrible situation.

Besides, he knew that the woman was also one of the judges. Why did he not remind me earlier and let me prepare well?

I frowned. Something flashed through my mind, but it flashed by too fast that I did not know what it was.

I suppressed the anxiety in my chest, took a deep breath, and tried to keep as calm as I could. "I'm going to try out with the seventh scene."

Jaden's girlfriend glanced at the script, pondered, and raised her eyebrows at Jaden.

"This is a famous scene in this movie. Why don't you act with her, Jaden?"

My pupils narrowed.

The scene was technically intimate, but she...

Looking at her lazy and indifferent eyes, I bit my lips and felt ashamed.

Sure enough, one could not judge a book by its cover.

Perhaps only such a free and generous woman could make Jaden, who was indifferent and abstinent, crazy in love and officially publicize their relationship.

I looked up at Jaden and saw that he was obviously stunned. Then he smiled at Suzette and said, "Okay."

As he withdrew his gaze, the emotion in his eyes faded.
