Jessica began to try to take a deep breath, trying to stabilize her emotions. Looking at her haggard and embarrassed self in the mirror, she was fragile and as if she could break when touched. It was so ridiculous. She had expected all this long ago, she had known who she was about to face, she had already understood the truth of the matter, why was it still vulnerable? He didn't even need any words, just a look of his eyes to defeat herself.

This is not her.

Jessica let out a long breath, poured out the heat and dullness in her chest, turned on the faucet, and slapped her cheeks with water. Even so, her overheated brain still couldn't cool down, so she simply filled the entire washbasin with water, and then buried her entire face in the water. The quietness under the water blocked all the noise in the world, and she could even hear the sound of her heart beating. The peace of mind gradually began to disappear... until she was almost hypoxia.

"Huhh..." Jessica suddenly raised her head, breathed in big mouthfuls, and looked at herself in the mirror again. Her makeup had been completely gone, her face was a little pale, and the redness and swelling of her eyes seemed to have dissipated, but her turbulent eyes settled down, and then she saw the projection of the little girl in the mirror.

The girl's face was filled with concern and shock, and she was nervously looking at caring. This made Jessica feel warm. She showed a bright smile and nodded to the little girl, indicating that she was safe and sound.

Emma breathed a light breath and gave a friendly smile in response. Although there was no conversation between them, she naturally had no way of knowing what was happening to the woman in front of her, but she could feel the struggle and pain of the woman. The despair and collapse of falling into the abyss were suppressed under the slightly trembling body, and she wanted to shout but couldn't make any sound.

Now the woman is full of embarrassment, with wet hair stuck to her cheeks indiscriminate manner, and her makeup is even more disorganized; but the ridiculous thing is that the woman looks much better than when she stumbled into the bathroom just now. Perhaps, this absurd and weird difference clearly shows how deep the pain in the woman's heart is.

Through the mirror, Emma saw the woman slowly wipe all the makeup on her cheeks with a tissue, eye makeup, lip gloss, blush... the luster disappeared bit by bit. After taking off her makeup, her pretty face was not inferior. She returned to the purity and perseverance, but became more and more charming.

Capturing the firm glow in the woman's eyes, Emma took back her eyes, pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands clean, then quickly left the bathroom, leaving the space for that woman. It was precisely because they were the same sex that she felt the difficulties and struggles of the fragile heart gradually becoming stronger, and she felt the powerful soul hidden under her beautiful appearance.

Standing outside the bathroom, Emma was a little stunned. She suddenly thought of her panic.

She didn't know how to face that man. She didn't know how to deal with those conspiracies, and she didn't know how to respond to the intricacies of this world... Maybe a few years later, she could also handle the ups and downs and bumps in her life like that woman. But at least she is not good yet. However, she knew that she had made a choice and she appeared here. When she heard the news of the "City of Sin" audition, her first reaction was joy, not worry or fear. Therefore, she should not hesitate, nor should she be in a hurry.

Since I don’t know what to do, why don’t I follow my original intention? Maybe when I appear in front of him, everything will gradually become clear, right? Because only by facing it can you know what will happen, and escaping will only bury the truth forever.

Thinking of this, Emma's shoulders loosened slightly. She rubbed the tissue in her hand into a ball, threw it into the trash can, then raised her head and took a step forward.

Looking at his original position, Emma found that Sebastian was no longer in position. She looked around and soon saw Sebastian waving at him. The ones sitting opposite him were Cole and Lance. Her steps paused slightly in place for a moment, and then Emma took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and took a straight step.

Lance was looking down at this time and flipping through the script. The thick eyelashes drooped down, and the sparse sunlight cast a thin layer of shadow, hiding the eyes tightly. The sky-blue shirt made him look quiet and wise, as if a layer of melancholy was gently dyed between his slightly frown eyebrows.

"Hey, Mr. Strero." Before Sebastian could speak, Emma spoke on his own initiative, and then she saw him raise his eyes, the deep and charming azure rose in the bright golden sunlight, the azure flashed gently, and politely and alienatedly retracted his chin to express his greetings, and then he drooped again.

Inexplicably, Emma caught a trace of alert, as if there was no relaxation and casualness of Oscar Night, no tit-for-tat confrontation at Santa Monica Beach, and even no cunning and cruelty at the crew at night, as if two people were just strangers who knew each other's names. This caught Emma off guard.

She had fantasized about the situation when the two met again many times, but she missed this one.

"Emma, ​​sit down." Sebastian said, greeting, "The previous audition ended a little earlier than expected, so we can start first." Sebastian gave up his position, then turned to look at Cole, and cast his inquiring eyes.

Cole put down the coffee in his hand, "Lance means that Nancy is auditioning together." Emma's role in audition was Nancy's childhood role. In other words, she and Jessica were auditioning for the same role.

Sebastian nodded, and when he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Lance, "So, do you know that Nancy's childhood character is eleven?" One sentence attracted everyone's eyes. Lance put down the script and smiled a little again on the corner of his mouth, polite and humble.

Nancy's childhood character is a very important part, which is also the reason why she was kidnapped by Roger. In fact, in the original comics, it is not emphasized that it must be eleven years old. It is acceptable to be under fourteen years old. This is enough to show Roger's pervert and evil, and it is enough to show the source of bondage between Nancy and Hardigan. However, in Lance's view, the reason why she chose eleven years old rather than fourteen is because most Western girls began to develop around the age of twelve or three, and the state of drawing strips will be very obvious. At the age of eleven, it is still like a child, but at the age of fourteen, it is more like a teenager - even at the age of fourteen, it is still a while before adulthood.

"Although she looks like she is twelve or three years old, she is no longer a baby." Lance's eyes fell on Emma, ​​looked at her lightly, and said with a chuckling.

Emma couldn't help but start grinding her teeth. She didn't like Lance's eyes and expressed this way, "I'm fifteen years old!" Emma said gritting her teeth.

But Lance didn't care, raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Sebastian, "Look, that's what I said."

Emma realized at this time that the reason why Lance was picking was that she was disgusting her age as a bigger person than the character's requirements, and she herself jumped into the trap stupidly, which made Emma angry and annoyed. She looked at Lance angrily, but didn't know what to say.

Sebastian was not panicked at all, but instead showed a big smile, "Lance, we all know that the characters and actors should complement each other, adjust each other, and seek the best fit. I can't see the absolute shackles of age, but on the contrary, I see the characteristics of Nancy in Emma, ​​simple, sweet, fragile, and strong."

Usually Sebastian looks like a honest and honest person, but agents who can take root in Hollywood must have two tricks. Today, Lance finally saw it.

It must be admitted that Lance nodded today's audition, and wanted to see if Emma and Jessica's temperaments are similar. Objectively speaking, in the original comics, Nancy was eleven years old, while Nancy was 19 years old, eight years apart; while the actual ages between Emma and Jessica were seven years apart, which is in line with the comic's settings.

"Sorry for interrupting your conversation, I hope I'm not too rude." A voice came from a distance, causing everyone to turn their heads, and then they saw James and Jessica standing next to them.

Emma's eyes were attracted by Jessica almost at the first time, the woman in the bathroom just now! At this time, she almost didn't give her makeup, just adding a little lip gloss, so that her face looked a little pale, but it was precisely this simplicity that brought out the fragility, innocence and sweetness in her temperament, making people unable to move their eyes at all.

At this moment, Emma found that Jessica's eyes were trembling slightly, but she turned uneasy but firmly turned to one direction. She slowly turned her head and found the target along Jessica's gaze. Then she saw the calm Lance. At this time, Lance was not only calm, but even a little cold. The bitter aura on her body easily kept people away, strange and restrained, polite and alienated, clearly dividing the boundaries between them.

Looking back again, Emma saw a trace of fragility in Jessica's eyes, and in an instant, she understood. Even though she didn't know anything, the woman's intuition suddenly realized at this moment - he was the bastard who hurt her.

So, he is indeed a bastard, a complete bastard, a bastard who is evil.

Emma could even clearly feel the ruthlessness in his cold eyes, not at all shaken by her fragility and collapse, as if even her blood had lost its temperature.
