The Maid
Dara, The Chambermaid
"Rabbit, I have a new stint for you."
I look up just to see Park Bom, my manager slash worst critic, grinning and standing in front of me.
I then roll my eyes ceilingwards. I know what she already meant about that.
I fold the script I just read in my hands and an eyebrow at her. "Oh yeah? Anything new?"
Bom's grins widens at this. "Same role."
I sigh exasperately. Now, I'm hopeless.
I look at Bom and jealousy immediately engulf me. Look at her. She's gorgeous. She is so pretty she can be a walking Barbie and she is extremely talented too.

I roll my eyes again. "Yeah, yeah. Maid roles."
Bom laughs out loud at this I know I should feel insulted.
I pout as I read my tiny dialogue in the script again. It's so tiny I should have memorized it already but I find my self reading it over and over again. The,
