Chapter 18: Take It Easy

• Then, without wasting so much as a second, she got out of the car as quickly as possible. She breathed a sigh of relief. It had seemed to her like the morning would never come to an end, but somehow, by god’s grace, her gravely embarrassing morning had finally come to a close.
• As soon as Bell met Scarlett in the classroom, she started gossiping about what had happened last night. Even after Bell spent a lot of time interrogating Scarlett, nothing interesting slipped from Scarlett’s mouth.
• Finally, audition day came. Sophie had recommended Scarlett for a part-time gig as a model, but Scarlett still needed to try out at the casting call first. Scarlett chose a high-waisted dark-blue chiffon dress for the audition. It was one of her favorite dresses– she reserved it for wearing only on important occasions. It was cinched at the waist, so it showed her perfect waistline. The inverted triangle neckline design made her shoulders look more petite. The elegant frilled edge of the dress brought her some French charm. Scarlett then put on very light make-up– a basic rule for model castings.
