The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169: No Mix-Up

Meanwhile...

Melissa stood, leaning over Manager Kang’s shoulder as he sat in the swivel chair, both staring at the laptop. Their eyes were glued to the casting list. They had been scrolling endlessly, but they hadn’t found Melissa’s name.

"This is impossible!" Manager Kang laughed nervously, looking up at Melissa’s pale face. "I’ll check again! We got too excited, and we probably missed your name!"

He didn’t wait for her to respond, quickly scrolling to the top once more. This time, he went even slower, checking all the female roles and Melissa’s name. But to no avail.

"How is that—no way! I probably missed it again!" The panic in Manager Kang’s voice grew as he went over the list again and again. No matter how many times he checked, Melissa’s name was nowhere to be found.

After minutes, silence fell over them as he reached the end of the file once more. Neither of them reacted, just staring at the screen blankly.

"This can’t be... why would they even send me this file if not for you..?" Manager Kang trailed off as he finally noticed the file name. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He had been too excited to check earlier. Now, he noticed the file was addressed to him as Pixy and Megan’s manager. Displeased, he still checked the list one last time to be sure.

And sure enough, Megan and Pixy got the roles they auditioned for. They were minor supporting roles, but a role was a role. The file had been sent to him because he was the manager for Pixy and Megan, not Melissa.

"Wait a minute," he panicked, his eyes darting to the male list. "Did Simon—"

Manager Kang scrolled so fast that before he could even finish his words, he spotted Simon’s name. But alas...

"Impossible," he breathed out, his world seeming to collapse as he stared at Simon’s name and his role. "He... he didn’t get Ryker’s role?"

His eyes drifted slightly down, catching the name of the actor who was cast as Ryker. It was Cedrick.

Again, silence fell on them as their faces went blank. When Manager Kang recovered, he nervously looked up at Melissa.

"Melissa..." he trailed off, now worried, since Melissa was just eyeing the laptop with unblinking eyes.

Meanwhile, Melissa held her breath. Her mouth partially opened and closed, but no words came out. Just as she finally looked at Manager Kang, the door suddenly flew open.

"What is the meaning of this?!"

Simon’s voice thundered in the office. Both Melissa and Manager Kang looked at him, seeing Simon fuming as he marched inside. His chest rose and fell heavily, his face red while his blood boiled.

"How come I am only getting a minor role while that Cedrick got Ryker’s role?!" He seethed in anger, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Manager Kang jumped from his seat and rushed to him.

"Simon, why don’t you calm down first, alright?" the manager tried to soothe him, but Simon just slapped his hand away before he could reach him.
