Right then, the secretary came and followed by a staff member to call Louie for the audition. Louie got up and was about to go with him when the secretary walked up to Sophia and said with a smile, "You're so beautiful, Sophia. You're right for the role. Would you like to have a try? You may get it."
Sophia stayed. "Me?" She pointed at herself and asked.
It was not surprising that the secretary knew her. After all, she had ten million fans. However, there were many professional actresses, and each was quite beautiful. So, she was surprised that the secretary would say that to her. She did not even wear makeup and was much worse than those professionals.
The secretary smiled, "Of course. I think you have a good temperament. And, you're famous, even more than many B-list actors."
Sophia was convinced that he meant what he said. But she refused at once. "No, thank you. I'm just here for Louie. I don't want to do any commercials."
The secretary was disappointed and looked at the staff beside him, hoping that he could find a way to change her mind.
The staff got it. He thought about it and said, "Well, Louie is handsome, and Sophia is beautiful. We happen to need one boy and one girl for this ad. And you two are a good match. If you can shoot together…"
The secretary suddenly reached out before he finished speaking, covered his mouth, and dragged him away.
The secretary just wanted to kill this stupid staff. What match? Albert loved Sophia. But he dared to say that. Did he want to be fired?
When he entered the office, he peeked through the door at Albert, who didn't look good. Without saying anything, Albert glanced at Louie, got up, and left.
Louie stood there, puzzled by what had just happened. And it took him a while to remember that it was his turn to audition.
"Come on!" Sophia smiled, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder, "You can do it."
Louie had forgotten the nervousness after the incident. He said with a smile, "I will get it, sister. Then I'll treat you to dinner!"
Then, he walked to the audition room.
Sophia went back to her seat and waited for him. She didn't worry about Louie. She didn't know from what time Louie started to call her sister Kevin, and she got used to it. He was like a little brother in her heart.
It was nice to have two nice little brothers who could cook.
Just now, Albert said he was going to the bathroom. So, she was there alone. She took out her phone and checked the microblog.
There were more comments, and many netizens called for her to make a live interaction.
"Sophia, I have a question to consult you. I want to talk to you. Please go live. Please!"
"Yachts are here. Go live, girl! Just a few minutes. I want to see you."
"A few minutes? That's not enough. I'm a math major. I left you messages a lot! But you may miss it. I have a lot of questions to ask. I want to watch you live."
***
Sophia was confused.
Why did they ask her to go live? She didn't even know how to do it. She had browsed the web but had never visited a live broadcast.
And Yachts? What was that?
She got on her microblog and watched a couple of live broadcasts. The anchors were mainly singing or playing games. She didn't play games. As for singing, she didn't want to frighten people.
Albert had not come back after a while. Sophia wondered if he was lost in the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Louie finished the audition and came out of the office. Sophia stood up and went to him, "How's it going?"
Louie said, "I don't know. They told me to wait for the call. I think I'm doing okay. I should have a chance. Let's go. Well… Where's Mr. Pearson?"
"He went to the bathroom."
"Oh, how long?"
"Half an hour."
Sophia was worried that Albert was lost. She took out her phone and called him. "Where are you, Pearson? Have you found the bathroom?"
I'm on the first floor. I'll be right back.
Sophia was surprised. Why did he go to the bathroom on the first floor? Was there no bathroom on this floor?
She asked no more, saying, "You don't need to come up. Louie has finished his audition. We're about to go downstairs. You can wait for us at the door. We'll be there in a minute."
She went downstairs with Louie, walked to the door, and saw Albert waiting for her.
Unlike before, Albert's hairstyle had changed, so as his clothes. What was more, he had a bouquet of flowers in his arms.
What happened in half an hour?
It was a bouquet of beautiful red roses in full bloom and beautifully wrapped.
"It's… for you." Albert handed the flowers to Sophia.
Sophia took over the flowers in surprise, "For me? Why?"
Red roses seemed to be for lovers. Did he give it to her? Was it appropriate?
Louie looked at the scene and was surprised at Albert's boldness. He always thought Albert was a pussy and doomed to die alone, but he didn't expect him to do that.
He was instantly impressed.
Albert looked Sophia into her eyes, which were as bright and clear as a deep spring as if to plunge him into it. All of a sudden, he couldn't say what he was going to say. After a while, he said, "Well, the florist has a discount on red roses…"
Bought things on discount? Did he know he was wealthy?
She was wondering if there was a discount on the red roses. It was strange that Albert sent her flowers. But the roses were really beautiful.
Louie rolled his eyes in silence. Sure enough, Albert was doomed to die alone.
Sophia took over the flowers. The fragrance made her feel better. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
Albert looked at her and felt that her smile was even brighter than the roses in her arms.
Sophia asked, "Why are you dressed like this? You changed so fast."
Albert stood still, "Do I look better this way?"
Sophia nodded, "Yeah.. Much better."
