My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Who’s King Ardine?
Michelle ended up tagging along with Kace and Selene as director Jeunes introduced her to the other actors and actresses.

“Alright everyone, our female lead is here. Let’s welcome her,” said director Jeunes, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “Her name is Selene Jones and this is her first movie,” he added.

Everyone clapped for Selene. A soft rosy hue painted her cheeks since she was the center of attention at that moment. “I hope to get along with all of you,” said Selene.

“I hope you do have a great time acting in this film, Selene. And who knows, after the release, you could become an A-list celebrity yourself,” said director Jeunes.

After saying that, director Jeunes excused himself to go fix a few other things.

Some of the actors introduced themselves to Selene.

“Hi, I’m Martha,” said a lady. Selene immediately recognized her to be one of the A-list celebrities in Radiantia. She was also a fan of Martha. The lady didn’t have an influential family to support her with her acting career so she had to start from scratch until she gained popularity.

If Selene wanted to compare Michelle’s acting with Martha’s, she could pick Martha’s. Michelle was just a spoiled brat from a wealthy family who pretended to be the purest person anyone would meet.

“I’m Selene,” Selene introduced herself.

A few more people came and introduced themselves, completely ignoring Michelle as if she were a shadow behind Selene’s back.

Most of the actors and actresses were already popular and Selene only recognized a few who were extras from a movie. But there was one important character she needed to meet, King Ardine. She needed to know if he was a good person or someone who would give her a hard time so that she would know how to handle him.

Tapping Michelle who was glaring at the ground, Selene asked, “Do you know who got the role of King Ardine?” She completely ignored the suffocating aura that was floating around Michelle. She couldn’t hurt her in a place filled with people.

Michelle frowned, realizing she also didn’t know who would be playing King Ardine. The director didn’t say anything either.

“I have no idea,” Michelle shrugged.

“He might be keeping his identity a secret until it’s time for his scene,” said Kace.

Unbeknownst to them, a man had been watching them. His eyes narrowed at Selene who was still asking Michelle a few more questions while the latter replied through a forced smile.

Director Jeunes arrived about an hour later and announced, “The first scene will start in an hour. An assistant has been assigned to all actors and actresses and your make-up room is also ready. Please go get ready.”

Without needing to be told twice, Selene waved Kace goodbye and wished Michelle good luck before the both of them entered their respective makeup rooms.

Selene met a girl, who seemed to be younger than her. She had a soft smile on her lips as she welcomed Selene.

“Hi, Ms. Jones, I am Allison and I will be in charge of your makeup,” she introduced herself. “This is Natalie, your stylist,” Allison introduced the other lady who was beside her. They both looked so beautiful that Selene wondered if they were models.

Allison had silver hair that was long and straightened but they were tied into a ponytail, with bangs hanging over her forehead.

She had blue eyes that reminded Selene of a character in anime but that character was a male.

On the other hand, Natalie had brown hair with caramel eyes.

“Please have a seat ma’am, we don’t have much time,” said Allison.

Selene nodded, as if in a trance by their beauty, and sat down on the chair. Immediately, Allison started the makeup while Natalie picked out the gown she would be wearing.

It was a royal gown since she would be acting as a queen.

“This looks so beautiful,” said Selene as she stared at herself in the mirror. She didn’t bother to wear any makeup while coming to the shooting site since it would only waste time. The makeup artist would have to wipe her face clean before putting makeup on her face again.

She stared at the mirror, mesmerized by the way she looked.

“You are so good at this, Allison,” she complimented the makeup artist who couldn’t help but blush at her words.

“Thank you, ma’am.”

“Ma’am, it’s time to get dressed,” said Nathalie.

Selene turned, ready to see the gown. She sighed loudly without realizing it when her eyes landed on the gown.

The gown was in emerald green, and had a few diamonds attached to it with a few gold colors making it look royal. Since the movie was set in the Victorian era, she needed to wear these types of dresses.

Both Natalie and Allison helped Selene to get dressed. Just as the gown was beautiful, it weighed so much that Selene thought she was going to fall off.

Three days ago, the director had given her the phone number of the crew in charge of their costumes which was why the gown had fitted her properly while being tight in some places.

Nathalie helped Selene to wear her crown on her hair which was already done by Allison.

Selene stared at herself one last time in the mirror, smiling at her appearance before she stepped out of the makeup room.

As soon as her feet stepped out of the makeup room, the whispers and murmurs that were created by the other casts and crew immediately came to a halt when they saw her.

Selene became conscious of why their eyes were on her.

“Marvelous,” director Jeunes commented when he saw Selene come out of her make-up room. “You are just perfect to be queen Jammiah, Selene. Everything about you is just perfect,” he added.

Selene sighed in relief. For a moment there, she thought they were going to start laughing at her.

“Queen Jammiah is ready. Now, where is King Ardine?” Director Jeunes asked.

“I’m here,” a deep voice replied.
