Chapter 34 Seen Countless Women

Compared with them, Shannon felt that she was not good at being a model. But in order to make money, she had to attend the audition.

“Hurry up! Get yourselves ready.” A staff walked into the fitting room and urged them.

A few beautiful female models hurriedly walked out of the fitting room in a walk-through manner.

Shannon tried to walk cat steps in their way. Unfortunately, she sprained her ankle.

“Hey, Shannon, stop there!” The staff were dissatisfied with her performance. She walked over and took her aside.

“Look at yourself! Can’t you take care of your hair? And your makeups. I don’t think you powered any foundation at all. We ask you to wear bare makeups for the audition, but that doesn’t mean you wear nothing. Hurry up! Redo it.” The staff pulled Shannon to the floor mirror.

Shannon looked at the plain jane girl in the mirror and frowned.

Then she picked up a lip gloss awkwardly and applied it on her lips.

At this time, Finn came over and urged her, “There is one left. Hurry up, Shannon! We are waiting for you!”

“Okay. On my way.” Shannon drew her eyebrows, scattered her hair on her waist, and pulled the low collar up. Then she took a deep breath and went out.

On the other side of the T platform, the dynamic and rhythmic music rang out.

The voice of the sound was natural and magic, which made people can’t help but want to follow the music on the beat.

It was Ethan’s music.

She did not expect that the background music of the audition was his song.

As Shannon’s mind wandered, the staff came over and looked at her up and down. Then he brought her fluffy long hair from her chest to her waist and lowered her collar a little bit down.

“Relax yourself! Don’t be nervous! The most important thing is to be confident.”

The staff warned her in Shannon’s ear, but she herself couldn’t cover her excitement inside.

Because the judges for this audition included one important figure, who enjoyed a unique reputation in the music field.

His name would be enough to make people scream crazily.

Just now, there were already a few staff members who couldn’t control their emotions and almost fainted.

Shannon just nodded, without noticing the staff’s inside emotions.

Before she stepped on the T-stage, she reminded herself that she should treat everything in front of her as nothing and try her best to perform better.

Only when she ignored dozens of eyes staring at her could she feel a little relaxed.

“Next one!”

Shannon followed the beat of the music and walked onto the T-stage. She appeared in front of the judges.

Shannon strode straightly forward without any thoughts.

Suddenly, someone appeared into her sight by surprise. Her mind became blank and her pace had paused for a second.

‘Ethan.’

Uttering this ame inside her heart, Shannon was not as calm as a moment ago. She became nervous and her heart was thumping as a deer.

Ethan, in his regular black, sat at the middle of the judges’ seats. When Shannon showed up, his eyes were fixed on her body, scanning her like X-rays.

He chewed a gum slowly and watched Shannon following the music beat. He acted and examined her like a senior master.

There were two judges, Ethan and Quinlan.

Quinlan was Ethan’s exclusive director,.and the two worked exceptionally well together, particularly when it came to their perspectives on people.

Shannon’s appearance took Quinlan’s breath away.

This girl was implicitly shy. However, she did not suffer from stage fright. She appeared to be tenacious and confident, which showed that she was very attractive. The ice blue bikini covering on her body rendered her perfect figure.

“What’s her name?” Quinlan could not help but ask Helen behind him.

Helen looked at Ethan and smiled, “Shannon. In addition, she works at Ethan’s family. What do you think of her, Director Lane?”

Helen didn’t come here as a judge, but as a newcomer in this industry. She was here to humbly learn how the senior leaders and music executives accurately selected models.

When Quinlan heard it, he was suddenly aware of something. His thin lips under the beard aroused. He looked at Ethan and said, “Eth, did you come here for her?”

Quinlan thought of something, “The conditions for Ethan’s cooperation with AGE was to replace Roger with Quinlan. Did it have something to do with Shannon’s audition?”

Ethan withdrew his attention away from Shannon, and responded to Quinlan casually, “You’re reading too much into it.”

Quinlan was noncommittal with a laugh and continued to appreciate the “beautiful scene” on stage.

Shannon did not know how she walked down the stage. The moment she recalled her thoughts, she had already leaned against the wall, covering her chest and gasping for air.

The judge was Ethan! It was beyond her expectation.

When she thought of the moment that she was examined by Ethan as she showed on the T-stage, she felt that her pulse and even every cell began to tremble.

After all the candidates finished their show, they went to the backstage for a five-minutes rest, waiting for the final result releasing from the judges.

All the models were extremely excited, especially when the judges they would meet included Ethan. For fear of fainting, they took smelling salt with them at any time to keep their minds clear.

“Eth, who do you choose?” Quinlan had already picked Shannon.

His gut told him that Ethan would pick Shannon as well. They had the same aesthetics in picking actors. All of the previous MV female heroine actresses were elected by their consensus of opinions.

Helen thought the same cause she was confident about herself.

Shannon was awesome tonight. Helen herself couldn’t help appreciating Shannon when she was on stage, let alone a man.

“Candidate No.6.” Ethan said concisely.

Quinlan suddenlyfroze. This time, there was no unspoken understanding between them as there had been before.

Candidate No.6 was a blonde girl, not Shannon.

Helen couldn’t believe it as well. However, as the “King of Music”, Ethan went for perfection. How could such a person be wrong? Even if he was wrong, Helen did not dare to defend against him.

Quinlan held his glasses, “Okay, Candidate No.6 then.”

Later, they continued to pick a few more bikini girls as supporting roles. Still, Shannon was not included among them.

She failed in the audition.

Helen and Quinlan took the selected bikini girls to locate sea scenes, preparing for the all-round shooting of the music short film.

Eddie Cineplex was jammed with fans for the arrival of Ethan. Ethan quickly got on the car under the support of his bodyguards.

Shannon squeezed out from the crowd eventually and was about to take a taxi back to the villa.

Standing in middle of the road, she saw a black car parking in front of her. A man rolled down the car window. It was Ethan inside.

Uncle John said to her, “Come on! Mr. Yates calls you to get on.”

Shannon gazed blankly for a moment and then opened the door.

After she got on the car, she found that Wesley and Nancy were here as well. They were sleeping in the stroller.

Shannon tied up her scattered long hair and looked outside the window with embarrassment.

It was extremely quiet inside the car, which made Shannon somewhat depressed. She wanted to ease up the atmosphere.

When she was ready to say something, Ethan began to break the ice,

“Do you know why you were eliminated?”

Shannon pretended to make a light smile, “I have no experience and I have never been a model. To be honest, it’s no surprise that I failed.”

“You were too exposed and were lack of mystery.” Ethan looked straight ahead and slowly said word by word.

Shannon bit her lips without a word.

But she defended against him at heart. Other models wore even less than her. The T-back they wore was simply a piece of cloth strung by two lines. They were almost naked. How come they were selected by him?

“Besides, your bust size is a little bit large. You were neither a plump beauty or a boney beauty. You look very uncoordinated.” Ethan said sharply.

“Yes, sir. After all, you have already seen countless women. It’s natural that your standards are high.” Shannon refuted sourly.

“Right! So, you are more suitable to be a babysitter for Wesley and Nancy.” He squinted and looked at her.

“...” There was nothing for Shannon to say. She felt really bad about it.

In his eyes, she was nothing but a babysitter.

However, that was not what she should care about. What she really cared about was that she couldn’t get a high salary thanks to the audition failure.

It finally turned out that she still had to making money from Ethan.

Shannon took a deep breath and adjusted her attitude. She smiled and said, “Anyway, I appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Yates for giving me this opportunity. Although I failed the audition, I have learned a lot from it.”

Ethan did not say anything and looked out of the window.

“Actually, I need to tell you something, Mr. Yates...” Shannon reorganized her plan, which was brewed in her mind for a long time, and prepared to speak it out in a clear and orderly way.

“What is it?” Ethan asked.

Shannon answered, “I have met many elders and children with terminal illness by coincidence. When I went to visit them, some of them could not be cured. They were waiting for death. I want to do my best to help them.”

Hearing it, Ethan frowned and felt very sorry about it.

“Where are they? I can spare time to visit them.” He couldn’t stand to see their sufferings and sorrows, especially the poor and the weak.

He was born with a kind heart. Besides music, what he really cared about was charity. He would fly over to the place where there had a war and rescue those children and adults suffering from the flames of war.

He was with such consciousness at a young age. Sometimes he dreamed of countless displaced children, crying helplessly under gunfire. When he woke up, he would be frightened in cold sweats.

This dream had accompanied him since his childhood. The more he got older, the more he felt he should do something for those victims.

Hearing it, Shannon was in a panic and she concealed her feelings in a good way, “No, sir, you don’t have to go there in person. Every time you go to a place, you will cause traffic jams. How about this? I have an idea...”
