Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Zoe typed quickly. “Take a look at the second supporting role. I think it fits you. Although she doesn’t have as many scenes as the first female supporting role and the protagonist, she has a distinct personality, and her role is eye-catching. If you act well, the effect would be as stunning as that of the first two roles.”

Then, Laura took a more detailed look at the scripts for the second supporting role.

She replied to Zoe’s message in ten minutes.

“Zoe, I just go over it quickly, and I like the role. Can I secure a spot given that it’s a big production?”

Zoe curled her lips into a smile.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“You just need to dig into the script intensively. I will take care of the rest.”

“Okay, thanks!”

Once Zoe finished chatting with Laura, she put down her phone, and sat on the sofa for a moment in contemplation.

After a while, she opened her laptop and entered Nathan Hale’s name.

She was not very familiar with him, and her understanding of him was only limited to his works as a director.

Although it sounds a bit unreliable to get information about a person from the internet, Natalia didn’t have much choice.

Fortunately, Nathan was so famous that there was lots of information about him on the cyberspace. As Zoe filtered the information

she needed, her understanding of the director almost reached to 70 to 80%.

While Zoe was browsing through the details, her phone rang suddenly.

She picked up the call, and it was from Victoria Kaur.

“Zoe, are you available tomorrow night? Can you go somewhere with me?”

Natalia grinned. “You’re not filming a movie? Where are you going?”

Victoria paused for a while before she answered with guilt, “I asked for leave tomorrow; there’s a car race in the eastern suburbs tomorrow, and I want to go there and have a look.”

Zoe’s finger paused on the touchpad.

“Car race?”

“Yeah!”

Zoe looked at the column about Nathan’s hobbies, and then she smiled and responded quickly, “Okay!”

The next day.

Zoe left the office as soon as she finished her work at hand.

Victoria had already arrived, and she was waiting for her in the car.

Zoe went to the underground parking lot to get her car. When she drove out, Victoria got off a black sedan like a thief and got into her car.

After Victoria entered Zoe’s car, she kept checking the surroundings to ensure that nobody noticed her. After that, she waved her hand at her assistant, who was standing outside the car.

“Dear, if you’re so afraid, why are you going to watch the car race? Wouldn’t it be better if you

carry on with your shooting?”

Zoe could not help but laugh.

Victoria took a small mirror out of her bag, and murmured unhappily while she checked her make-up,

“Who said I was afraid? I am trying to avoid the paparazzi, so they won’t comment that I’m not dedicated to my work? Your younger sister, just like a lotus flower is on the trending list almost every day, either because she stood in cold water for a shooting regardless of her body condition, or because she passed out due to exhaustion from work. Ugh!”

She made a disgusted expression and added, “The standard for a dedicated actress has already been set like that. Given that I’m her opponent, how can I not protect my feathers?”

Zoe could not help but laugh.

Nonetheless, Annie had always been like that. No matter how she was on the inside, she always showed the gentle, beautiful, and dedicated side of her to the public.

Zoe had long been used to it.

The car drove all the way to the suburbs.

When they were almost at the racing venue, Victoria suddenly tugged her sleeve.

“Zoe, take a quick look at me. Is my make-up Okay? Is my outfit pretty?”

Zoe stared at her, dumbfounded.

“Have you… taken the wrong medicine? Victoria.”

A few seconds later, Zoe finally understood what was wrong with Victoria.

From the moment Victoria called her, Natalia could tell that she was anxious.

Victoria was usually confident about her appearance, but she had been working on her make-up throughout the journey.

Zoe wondered, “She even asked me if she looks pretty?”

“Oh my God! Victoria, a natural beauty, is actually asking someone else’s opinion about her own looks? Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degeneration??’

Victoria seemed to be aware of her own perversity, and smiled awkwardly.

After a while, she tugged at the corner of Natalia’s shirt, squirming, “He will come today.”

Zoe’s eyes were widened in shock.

There was no need for Victoria to explain who the “he” she was talking about, because Zoe understood naturally.

After all, the two were sharing the same desks since high school, and they eventually became BFF (best friend forever). Over the years, they have shared their views practically on everything, and rarely kept secrets from each other.

Besides, the fact that Victoria had a crush on their high school senior Charlie Peck had become a hot topic for discussion six years ago, so everyone was well aware of it.

Over the years, she had slowly changed from that open and enthusiastic, arrogant and domineering young girl of an influential family into a silent and introverted, noble and elegant lady. Others thought the gossip about her was only an impulsive act during her youth, so it ebbed away with the passing of time.

But, only Victoria’s best friend, Zoe, knew the guy still had a place in her heart, and it had always been there.

It is said it was difficult for a guy to pursue a lady, but easier for a lady to pursue a guy.

However, after pursuing him for six years, Victoria did not get any closer to Charlie, and the distance between the two seemed more distant.

Thinking of this, Zoe could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

They reached at the parking lot soon.

Zoe parked her car then turned her head to Victoria, reaching out to straightened her slightly messy hair, and set the collarbone necklace on her neck.

Then, she examined Victoria carefully with a serious face.

Once she was done, she took the lipstick from her bag and passed it to Victoria.

“Change the color now! You’ll look tender in this color.”

Victoria was dissatisfied. “I look tender now!”

“Well, you do, but this color should be more to his liking.”

Victoria was dubious.

She asked in doubt while she accepted the lipstick.

“Really?”

“Well, trust me, I promise!”

Victoria didn’t doubt it. She wiped off the original lipstick with a wet tissue, and then applied the new color on her lips while looking in the mirror.

When she was done, she realized that the color really complemented her makeup and dressing today.

She immediately smiled brightly and leaned over to hug Zoe.

“Zo, thank you.”

Zoe smiled and clenched her fist to cheer

her up, “Wish you all the best! Let’s go!”

“Well, I’ll definitely try my best to win over my handsome guy back ASAP!”

Afterward, the two of them got off the car.

The venue was already packed with people.

There were eight teams competing tonight, so there are more people at the venue than usual.

At his time, the cheerleaders and the judges had already entered, and many fans, mostly young men and women, holding small flags or banners in their hands, clamored while standing in their respective zones.

However, the car racers had not yet shown up, probably waiting for the race to start before they would come out.

Victoria was fully equipped as she wore a mask and a peaked cap. She lowered her head

as she pulled Zoe into the crowd, and quickly found her way to the zone behind one of the car-racing teams.

“Zo, this is Charlie Peck’s team, and he was the one who established it. They’ve won many championships these few years both at home and abroad. They are marvelous!”

Zoe nodded at her.

A girl turned around and noticed them and asked in a friendly manner, “Are you Charlie’s fans too?”

Zoe was stunned, and was thinking how to answer the question appropriately so that she wouldn’t be exposed.

Unexpectedly, Victoria beat her to it and answered, “Yes, yes! Did you bring extra flags? Can you give me one?”
