"I can't help you out much, but the hint has already been given. Select clothing that highlights the unique beauty of the second female lead while also highlighting the relationship between the male lead and the second female lead. I can only help you choose things that you tell me." The woman reported with a resigned expression.

Valentina thought over the hint again before tentatively asking, "Could you bring me something masculine leaning that fits the time of the film? I want to look like a tomboy. And if possible some hair gel and a comb?"

"Of course, please come with me."

Valentina followed the woman deeper to the back of the room and saw several makeup stations with mirrors and lights. She quickly claimed one for herself and quickly began the arduous process of combing and trying to tame her hair. She slicked her hair down and to the back as much as possible to highlight her angular features and toned down some of the eye makeup on her face. By the time the staff member came back with some clothes, she was panting, and her arms were sore from the effort.

"Here you go." The staff member delivered a stack of clothes to her before retreating. Separating the items, Valentina noted that the woman had brought her long slouchy pants, a fitted long button-up shirt, a simple long peacoat, and high-heeled boots that were all around her side. She quickly changed into the clothes before finding a mirror and examining herself.

With her hair slicked back and the loose yet form-fitting subdued male-styled clothing, she presented an almost androgynous figure that somehow complimented and highlighted her feminine face. With the simple earrings, bright red lipstick, slanted green eyes, and cute upturned nose, she looked gorgeous yet bold. With the heels adding extra height to her figure, she felt she even looked a bit imposing.

Satisfied that her appearance figure of 90/100 was in full effect, she found the staff member and quietly asked her for one more prop.

The prop was quickly delivered and she tucked it into her pocket. Realizing that she had finished 10 minutes before anybody else, Valentina went to go wait in a corner and observe the other women. She watched as they wore different styles of dresses that complimented their figures and quickly adjusted their makeup to suit the new glamorous look. Again it seemed that she had gone the opposite way of what people thought so she hoped her ideas were correct.

"Miss Valentina, if you're ready, you can go start your audition." The original staff member who brought her into the room said.

Valentina thought about it and then nodded. She quietly followed the staff member, reviewing the script in her mind and hoping that she would be able to act in a passable manner.

As she walked away, she could see some of the other women whispering and mocking her as she walked by but she just ignored them. Each of them would have to act to their skills and nobody knew who the winner was yet.

They quickly arrived at a different room where the same panel of judges were sitting. In front of them were two chairs facing each other. Standing by one of the chairs was an unfamiliar man.

He looked to be over six feet tall and had handsome classical features. His caramel brown hair was cut short and parted to the side, his face was clean-shaven, and his blue eyes were framed by long, thick lashes. He had a pair of glasses perched on his nose that gave him a distinguished look.

He was dressed similarly to Valentina in a black, fitted three-piece suit that highlighted his slim yet fit figure.

As she examined his face, she thought that it seemed a bit familiar but she knew she had never met him before.

When he caught sight of her looking him over, he smiled charmingly and even winked at her causing her to roll her eyes and look away before catching herself and giving him a fake smile.
