4 Madison or Magnifique?
Madison was preparing for a meeting with Blu-ray. She felt really hungry and thought of making cereal for herself.
As she got closer to the kitchen she was welcomed by a very nice smell from the kitchen. Isabella had made some eggs and tea for breakfast. Usually, breakfast time is gossip time for them.
“Doesn't she just love the media's attention?”. Isabella said, handing over her phone with Maya in the gossip article.
“These people must have done their diggings and thorough findings on her. Maya can't afford to stay off the media for a week without being on the media'' Isabella shrugged as she responded.
"If you want to be in the media spotlight, it should be for good reasons. How could she sink so low as to monopolize the healthcare service? I mean, she only sustained a minor injury. There are photos of her hanging around with married men, earning a reputation as a disgraceful mistress," Isabella continued.
“Really I don't know why the drama Maya is just full of drama. She basically played her card right in deceiving her fans. I was never fooled by the way. I've always known she's an attention seeker”. Madison cuts in
“Anyway, she has gotten the attention she was craving for”. Isabella concluded.
“What about the appointment with Blu-Ray” Isabella asked
“It's not until…” She paused to check her time “... In the next 50 mins” she hurried up with her tea in haste to get dressed for the meeting.
“I basically need to head out too, catch up with you later honey” Isabella responded picking up her handbag and jacket from her seat.
As Isabella heads out, Madison quickly gets dressed to head out as well.
Madison was interviewing for a fantasy movie. All the roles have been casted save for the witch role named “Kind Reaper”. This is because there's a particular feel Mr. Antonio needed to have and he was yet to get it from any character that has auditioned for the role.
Director Marvin walked into the studio to confirm how far they've gone with the casting for the role of “Kind Reaper”. He was getting impatient already. He had seen a number of people go in and out the studio. “What the Hell is Antonio looking for?” He thought as he entered to see frustrated Antonio
“How long is this going to take?” He asked.
Antonio gave him a very disdained look. They never really agree on anything.
“Do you want to teach me my job?” He responded as he walked out on Marvin
“You are taking forever and apparently slowing us down you know” He said interrupting Antonio 's movement
“What the hell is your problem?” Antonio responded, stopping halfway out. “Do you want to teach me my job?”
Everyone turned around from their desk on hearing Antonio 's voice, then Julie quickly cuts in to remind them about an appointment with Magnifique. Someone had recommended her but she had not arrived.
“Oh yes, the famous Magnifique was why I came to check in. I thought she had arrived already. director Marvin responded.
Antonio was more tense than frustrated. He had heard so much about the famous Magnifique, he was both excited they might have gotten the character they needed but was also hoping she was worth the hype.
“What's the update on Julie?” Antonio gave a sigh as he asked
“Well, she responded to her mail in acceptance to our request and we should be expecting her in any minute Sir”
“Julie please get on the phone to confirm again” Antonio requested
“Oh, I'd try to pull out her number and put a call through'’ She quickly stepped out to her desk.
She got on her phone and read through her chat’s notification.
She had earlier posted on the group chat “Waiting for Magnifique is like waiting for Jesus, the savior of the world” with a lot of laughing emoji.
She picked up her phone and went over the responses
“Is she really as good as they say or just another hype”
“She's actually really good, I just don't think she has the face that meets up with the voice” Another response.
“I thought so too, because I checked all through the internet about her on hearing the hype”
“We'd have seen her all over social media already like Maya, she was on the front page this morning again” Another response with a lot of laughing emojis
Julie couldn't help but laugh. She wasn't the only one thinking that way. She has never heard her voice and couldn't trace a picture of her on the internet either. She had reached out to Magnifique through an email. Although she was really surprised to have gotten a response quicker than she had imagined. Maybe it's just all hype. She thought to herself as she tried to pull out the number attached to the mail.
“Hi, Julie on the line, am I onto please?, I'm calling to confirm the appointment ma'am”
“Oh yes, I got a bit delayed but I've been here for an hour, there seem to be a que I can't go through” responded
Struck by the melodious voice, she really is worth the hype. She had her head filled with the fact that why would someone with such a lovely voice stick to voice acting alone, was she not having the face that matches such a lovely voice. Oh my God, she thought to herself. She basically couldn't believe she was talking to the famous, she felt like she was going to explode. “Oh my God'' she could hear herself screaming in her head that she almost forgot she was on a call
“Hi, miss” Magnifique called out, since she couldn't hear anyone on the line for about a minute or two.
“Oh, I'm really sorry about that, I believe you're in the wrong queue. Hold on, I'd be down in a minute.
She hurriedly got up to head down.
“My God, guys you won't believe who I just heard on the phone, trust me, the voice is worth the hype. Heading down now to see our mystery woman” She posted on the group chat. Everyone got on alert to see the mystery woman.
Director Marvin interrupted Julie on her way down
“Hello, Miss Perky, where are you headed in a hurry? Who is chasing that is not me?
“Oh, come on Marvin, we both know you aren't chasing hard enough to get me on my feet to run”
She responded teasingly, “Oh really, that's a punch right here” He reached out to her hand and placed it on the left side of his chest.
“We're keeping our mystery woman waiting” She gave him a stare and slowly removed her hand.
“You mean?” He responded with a relief
“Yeah, finally,” she said and continued down the stairs.
She didn't know where to begin her search. She saw a very pretty, sophisticated, hair lady from behind. She hurried up to her but was disappointed by the looks.
“Hi, I'm Julie, Miss Magnifique” she said unsure, reaching out her hand to the confused lady for a shake.
“You must be Julie,” A familiar voice said from behind her. She had overheard her name while trying to make her way to a seat.
“Magnifique '' Julie was startled at the beauty right in front of her. Maya’s beauty is a kid's play compared to what she has in front of her. Madison could read through her surprise but wasn't surprised. She gets that a lot.
“Yes, please” Madison responded
A few minutes later Antonio opened the door from the studio to step out. This time he was more relaxed and smiling
“So that's it?, We have our voice actress in what.. 5 mins?? Director Marvin who had been waiting interrupted Antonio
“Well, she is good, I wish there were other ways to express how good she was in there” Antonio responded
“I wouldn't mind a re-auditioning, if you'd want to hear me yourself” Madison interrupted, stepping out of the studio.
Startled by the voice, Director Marvin turned around and was even more startled by the beauty just in front of him.
