Chapter 141
‘Daniel? Why does that name sound so familiar? And he’s a director too. It can’t be him, right?’
Stella turned around hesitantly, and she was shocked.
The director that Chief talked about was the same as the one who directed the show she went for the
audition, Daniel Wood!
‘Sort of a director?!’
Just how impressive was Daniel in the industry? Let’s put it this way; all the dramas that he directed did
not have a score lower than seven on the most demanding critic application in the country.
Any dramas with a score of seven or more would be selected as must-watch! The lowest score his
drama had was 7.8!
Stella could not help but feel a little nervous as she was going to eat with Daniel unexpectedly, not to
mention that it was a private meeting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniel was surprised to see Stella too. Then, he walked toward them naturally and greeted Robin and
his wife.
Stella found out that Daniel was Chief’s senior from their conversation. They had been very close since
studying in the same school, and Susan was a cousin to Daniel’s wife. Daniel introduced Robin and
Susan to each other, so they got even closer to each other after that.
“Daniel, allow me to introduce you to a junior of mine. Her name is Stella Jewell, and she’s pretty famous
for voice acting. Do you remember Dusk Galaxy that I’d always tell you about? That’s her. She’s pretty
and has a nice voice too. Not only that, but she’s also good-tempered. Stella, this is my best friend,
Daniel Wood. Please get to know each other more.”
Stella was actually a little awkward. She figured Daniel recognized who she was, judging by his reaction.
She thought it would not be appropriate for her to be too straightforward with Daniel since he did not
bring it up, so she stretched her arm out and said, “Hello, Mr. Wood. My name is Stella Jewell.”
Daniel did not shake her hand. Instead, he nodded indifferently.
Stella was shocked as she slowly retracted her hand that was left hanging in the air awkwardly.
Susan noticed something was not right. However, she did not dwell on it as she said, “Let’s order some
food. I’m sure we haven’t eaten anything at all here. Let’s eat and talk since we’re all hungry.”
“Yes, absolutely. Let’s eat and talk.”
Daniel appeared to be very introverted compared to how friendly Robin and Susan were. Perhaps it had
something to do with his profession, or he was just naturally reserved. The fact that there was a stranger
like Stella at the table could also be why he did not want to talk much. Stella felt very awkward. It was
embarrassing for her to barge into the room during the audition. Perhaps Daniel still could not get over
that.
Chief was a very talkative person, so the meal did not appear to be too boring with him there.
He only started to get into business after drinking more beers.
“Daniel, you know very well that I don’t easily ask other people for a favor. However, there’s something
that I really hope that you could help me with.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniel smiled. “Are you going to spill your guts to me after drinking some beers?”
“Tsk.” Chief clicked his tongue. “Do you even know what the alcohol content is in beers? I’m very sober.”
He pointed at Stella as he spoke. “You’ve met my friend here. She’s a graduate of the theater
department of Trinity University. That’s a very prestigious university, and everybody knows it. You should
consider casting her if you have any suitable role for her in the future. I guarantee that she won’t let you
down!”
Daniel took a sip of his tea. He only spoke after pausing for a moment. “You know me. I don’t talk about
work when I’m eating.”
Chief frowned. “We’re brothers, not outsiders. Why are you acting so inflexible? I wasn’t asking you to
abuse your power. I just wanted you to give her a chance if you can. I’m sure she can do much better
than those boring actresses you recruited.”
“I recruit most of the actors and actresses publicly. Anyone who matches the criteria is free to join the
audition. However, I would like the people who join the audition to just mess with others to give up that
idea and stop wasting everybody’s time.”
