Lola made her way to the restroom on the same floor, stopping in front of the sink. Looking at herself, she leaned forward.
"Gosh... sometimes, people are like Silo," she murmured, adjusting her prosthetic pimple. After all, it moved with all that skipping. "I even toned the look down a bit because the twins want everything I put on my face."
Thinking about those two now, Lola decided the twins weren’t so bad at all.
"At least the twins can see the art I’m putting into these looks," she hummed and sighed. "Whenever I think about them, I feel a bit sad."
Because no matter how she distracted herself with being petty, she knew that this all felt like a waste of time. She could’ve been strolling with the twins, but instead, she was here, slowly getting back into life without them.
"Right." Lola leaned back and fished her phone out of her deep pocket, knowing she wouldn’t be granted entry into Function Hall Three without Director Sarian or his assistant, Ida.
[To: Ida
I’m here, but I can’t enter. I need an access ID... or some sort.]
She kept her message short, which Ida was already used to. Lola stared at the screen, waiting for a reply, but nothing.
"Huh?" Tilting her head to the side, her pencil brows knitted. "Are they busy? The audition should be starting soon, though."
Meaning, Ida should’ve been reaching out to her by now. After all, Ida knew she was coming today as part of the casting panel. But somehow, there was no word from either Director Sarian or Ida.
"Well." She smacked her lips as she shrugged. "I guess I should wait with the twins."
Being part of the casting wasn’t really something she was keen on. It just so happened that Lola was already going to this place because the twins’ father would be here in a couple more hours. But just as Lola was about to turn, she heard voices coming from the restroom.
In an instant, a group of three girls marched in and stopped. They all jolted in surprise when they saw the person standing in the middle of the restroom.
"Kyah—a ghost!"
"Oh my god!" The other lady clutched her chest, her heart racing as she eyed the wicked thing looking back at them.
One of the ladies, Melissa, also flinched the second she met those white eyes with pupils small enough to look like dots. But after a second, she quickly recognized the person standing before her.
"Lola?" she blurted out.
The other two ladies with her paused and furrowed their brows. They looked at Melissa and then at Lola. Their faces contorted, disturbed by that horrendous look.
"Lola?" one of the ladies, a blonde woman, arched a brow, side-eyeing Melissa. "You mean, your half-sister?"
Melissa pursed her lips, and conflict flickered in her eyes as she looked at the ladies. These two were part of the audition for a different role. They got a chance because of Melissa. So, she secretly smirked behind that pitiful silence.
She sighed and snapped her eyes at Lola. "Lola, what are you doing here?" she frowned. "Don’t tell me you’re auditioning for the role too?"
"..." Lola blinked, watching Melissa’s meek demeanor in awe.
She’s a terrible actress, but somehow, she does this role really, really well.
"Auditioning for the same role as Melissa?" the blonde lady scowled, eyeing Lola up and down. She crossed her arms and walked forward. "Seriously? You think someone like you would get the role?"
"Melissa already gives you everything you want, and you’re planning to take this opportunity from her too?" the other lady — a short-haired woman — mocked. "Lola Young, aren’t you a bit too much now?"
This stupid Lola... she really doesn’t know when to keep quiet and always digs her own grave. Well, she’s not always the brightest.
