The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Sorry, Taz.

"How was the audition?" Manager Kang paced back and forth outside the audition room, rushing to Simon the moment he saw him.

Simon stared at Manager Kang and slowly smiled in satisfaction. "They’re impressed. The only one they gave a round of applause to."

"I knew it!" Elated, Manager Kang cheered for everyone to hear. "Simon, we all know how hard you’ve worked to get this role. I’m sure it’s going to pay off!"

The managers and assistants around them sneered or rolled their eyes at the duo. They had to admit Simon was a good actor, but their opinion of Manager Kang was another story. He was a notorious bootlicker, after all.

"I’m so proud of you, Simon. I’ve never doubted you — not even once!" Manager Kang exclaimed, only to catch Cedrick walking out of the same door as Simon. He smirked and eyed Cedrick with ridicule. "Cedrick! How was the audition?"

Cedrick casually cast them a look and smiled. "Whether I did well or not, Senior Simon is really good."

"Haha!" Both Manager Kang and Simon laughed. The former added, "That’s alright, Cedrick. I know you did your best. Doing your best is already enough. Actually, just coming here is brave of you, so don’t beat yourself up just because someone did better."

"Of course, Manager Kang," Cedrick replied with a polite smile.

"This is a little awkward," Simon muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Cedrick is a junior of mine, and Manager Kang was your former manager before the agency cut ties with you. And after years away from the entertainment industry, you’ve finally mustered the courage to audition."

Manager Kang picked up the cue. "You have a point, Simon. It really is awkward that your first audition after a hiatus didn’t go well, just as you expected."

"Simon, is it okay if we invite Cedrick to dinner?" the manager suggested with a smile. "I feel bad."

After all, Cedrick had failed the audition because Simon was in the running.

"Of course," Simon nodded, eyes on Cedrick. "You’re not with anyone today, are you? I mean, I don’t think you have a manager or assistant at the moment. Just join us. We did our best today, and that alone is worth celebrating."

"Goodness. Look at the two of them," one bystander muttered, shaking her head. "They’re acting like they already got the role."

But the comment was low enough not to reach the two arrogant buffoons. Many had heard about the earlier audition incident, so they were cautious with their remarks.

"Thank you," Cedrick said kindly. "But I have to decline."

He had plans tonight with Lola, Silo, Haji, and the twins.

"Ahh..." Simon rocked his head. "You still have plans after this?"

"Oh." Manager Kang laughed. "Right. I forgot that Cedrick was a hardworking man. He probably has to rush to work after this—"

"Ced!" Suddenly, Silo’s voice echoed. His call earned everyone’s attention. When they turned, they saw Silo jogging toward Cedrick.

"You done?" Silo handed him a bottle of water, which Cedrick accepted. "How did it go?"

Cedrick shrugged. "Not sure."

"That’s alright. I’m sure you did well!"

"Oh?" Manager Kang arched a brow, studying Silo from head to toe. "And you are...?"

Silo glanced at Manager Kang and the celebrity beside him. Instead of answering, he turned to Cedrick.

"Let’s go?"
