The Spare Wife

Chapter 46

Chapter 46 The next morning, ladies were woken up by the incessant ringing of someone’s phone. A groggy Abigail picked the phone up, but when she saw the time, she jumped up. “Hey, you didn’t set the alarm!” 1/5 It was an unknown number so Abigail paused for a moment, but she picked it up in the end. “Good morning, Ms. Quinn. We’re the crew members who’ll be attending to your needs during filming. Work is about to start soon, but you and Ms. Smith haven’t had breakfast yet,” a woman said gently. Abigail heard a lot of noises in the background. “Oh, um, sorry. We’ll sk ip breakfast and go straight to the set.” Abigail pursed her lips awkwardly. Great. First day on the set, and we’re late. She hung up after that. She did wake up just now thanks to her circadian clock, but when she noticed it was still dark outside, she went back to sleep all too happily. When she got up, she realized that the curtains were drawn shut. The thick curtains blocked out the sunlight, and if she hadn’t checked the time, she would have thought it was still in the wee hours. Chapter 46 The Official Start “What? I did.” Luna got up reluctantly, rubbing her eyes. She yawned and picked up her phone. She fiddled with it for a moment before realizing that her phone was dead. “Oh, crud. Phone’s dead and I didn’t charge it.” “Get up. Production team just called. Say goodbye to your breakfast.” Abigail

sighed and got out of bed. She took out a comfy white dress from her suitcase and quickly changed into it. They had no time to put on any makeup, so the ladies washed themselves up and only lathered a layer of sunscreen on before they went out.

2/5 It was fortunate they weren’t far away from the set, and the ladies managed to arrive on time after a lot of chasing. There were two dining halls in the place, and a few ushers were waiting at the doorstep. “Staff ID, please.” Luna quickly took out her staff ID and handed it to the crew. When they noticed the names, the usher’s stern look was replaced by a look of worship. They pointed at the dining hall on the left and led the way. Chapter 46 The Official Start “Ms. Alana! The hall for designers is right here. Please follow me.” 3/5 What was the perk of being late? Undivided attention by everyone in the hall once they went inside. The people were already seated, and even though Abigail was prepared, she still felt a bit awkward when everyone was staring at her. you. “Ms. Alana and her assistant, Ms. Quinn, correct? We were just waiting for Come in. Here’s your seat.” The host quickly led the ladies to their seats in the first row, seeing they were still dazed. The mention of Alana started a discussion among the crowd. Most people had only heard of Alana’s name, but they had never seen what she was like. If the rule of ‘no moving around’ didn’t exist, they would probably be surrounding the ladies by now. Oh, things are getting rowdy. “Please, everyone, stay quiet.” The host cleared her throat and made a simple introduction. “Good morning, guests. I’m Twylla Summers, the host of the show. And now it’s time to get to know the rules of the show.”

to quiet everyone down. The moment Abigail took her seat, she noticed a long cabinet standing on the left side of the stage. It was covered by a red velvet cloth, keeping what was underneath out of everyone’s sight. Since the rules were about to be announced, Abigail moved her sight away and took out a beautiful notebook from her bag, pretending like she was an actual assistant. “First, we’ll be splitting you up into teams of designers and models. To ensure fair we’ll be drawing lots.” The host held a remote control pen, going sh”deshow on the screen. She then picked up a propan the to cr the crowd where they would be drawing lots from. table, “That’s a fair arrangement.” Luna nodded, apparently happy with the lot drawing arrangement. She whispered, “We won’t get on the same team as Joan unless we’re unlucky enough.” Chapter 46 The Official Start “Don’t jinx it.” The mention of Joan almost gave Abigail a headache. After that, a crew member took a transparent plastic box onto the stage. There were a few colored balls in that box. “To make things interesting, we’ll be drawing another lot to decide how we’ll be doing this competition.” 5/5 The host extended her hand into the box, pulled a ball out, and opened it before everyone. “The model of the team will be drawing the lots, and there’s

a slip of paper in every ball here. The slip tells you the number of the scene. What the designer must do is design the makeup and decor of the scene drawn by their model. The results will be graded by a professional panel and the audience. The team with the highest points after these rounds will be the winner.” She then showed the audience the other slides, though those were just talking about the process of the competition and things to look out for.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
