Chapter 226: Pretty Sis

Moments ago...

"Taz, let’s talk, okay?" Director Sarian addressed Lola as soon as they stepped out. He looked at her face, opened and closed his mouth, then felt his head throb slightly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Right now, Lola looked stranger than usual. It was why he couldn’t blame others because they were not lying.

"I usually don’t complain about the looks you go with," he said, "but this..."

"Director, what about today’s look?" she blinked, touching the small ribbon on her side. "Is it too much?"

"Well... just a bit."

"Was it the ribbon?"

Director Sarian’s breath hitched. "The ribbon?" he repeated, eyes moving to the little accessory in her hair. "You think it’s the ribbon?"

If anything, the ribbon was the only decent part of this entire look.

"Taz," he huffed helplessly, "although I don’t appreciate Manager Kang’s words, he made quite a point. Slater is joining us today, in case you aren’t aware. And from what I heard, it’s not just a rumor that he snaps at anything he deems ugly."

Director Sarian moved closer to her, holding her hand as a quiet plea. "Can you just join us as your normal self?"

"But I am my normal self."

The corners of Director Sarian’s eyes teared up, and he covered his mouth, feeling like crying. This young lady was beautiful, but her fashion taste... that was the problem.

"Director, if you’re worried about what Slater would say..."

"Taz, that guy might be an artist, but he’s really well-connected," Director Sarian cut her off, squeezing her hand tightly. "If he says something to the higher-ups, I don’t think anything I say will matter. My relationship with them isn’t good already because I bought you time to keep Cedrick until today."

He paused, his eyes screaming. "Not just you—but even I might get replaced! This time, I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that."

After all, Director Sarian had a lot of say as the director. He was the best they could hire for this project. However, with all the existing issues, Slater’s complaints might just be the last straw.

"As for you... you’re here because I promised to take this project if you were in it," he continued under his breath. "But in your contract for this adaptation, aside from the upfront pay, you might get kicked out! Just imagine the changes they would make if someone else directed this."

"So please!" he moved his face closer. "Can we just agree that you... tone it down?"

Lola blinked, now seeing just how desperate Director Sarian looked. This was the first. A shallow breath escaped her as she grabbed his hand back.

"Director, don’t worry about Slater," she said reassuringly. "He will not complain at all. Didn’t you see he was siding with Cedrick?"

"He sided with Cedrick, not you."

Her smile stretched. "Director, I haven’t mentioned this, but actually, Slater and I know each other."

"Huh?"

"He already saw this look this morning," she nodded at him. "If you don’t believe me, then you can bet with me. I’ll bet my entire check on this project that he will not complain."
