When Director Sarian and Lola walked into the room from the other corner, people instinctively turned to them. Their thoughts quickly jumped to: Uh oh.
Others, like Manager Kang and Simon, sneered and nodded to themselves. At that point, they knew Lola was in trouble—especially when she suddenly looked panicked. But then, all they heard was...
"Oh, sis!"
Everyone froze, turning toward the source of the voice. Sure enough, their gaze landed on Slater. His face slowly brightened as he removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of charming eyes on a perfectly symmetrical face.
"Pretty sis, it’s me~!"
The moment those words rolled off his tongue, Slater rushed toward Lola and Director Sarian. The crew’s jaws dropped, eyes wide in disbelief.
"P—pretty?" one of them blurted. "Where?"
"Did he mean someone else?" another asked loudly enough for the room to hear.
Deep lines appeared between Cedrick’s brows as he eyed Slater, then Lola. The rest of the crew scanned the room, unsure who Slater was referring to. Who knows? Maybe there was another beauty, and they were mistaking Slater’s words.
No way that guy would call that woman pretty.
But then, Slater stopped in front of Lola and Director Sarian. His face seemed to glow, and everyone instinctively squinted from the intensity of his natural sparkle. Even Lola and Director Sarian, standing directly in its path, blinked rapidly.
"Taz, I think... I’m seeing an angel," Director Sarian muttered under his breath, torn between awe and shock.
Even in a room full of attractive people, Slater clearly existed on a different level—like a real angel.
Lola silently thanked her long eyelashes for shielding her eyes from the blinding glow.
I see him practically every day, but I still can’t get used to it.
Slater’s grin stretched from ear to ear, and his brows shot up as he finally noticed Director Sarian.
"Oh." He cleared his throat and smiled politely. "Hello, Director Sarian. I’ve heard a lot of good things about you. I’m looking forward to working with you, but you don’t have to take care of me."
He then pointed at Lola, making her flinch. "She’ll take care of me. Don’t feel bad. I’m not saying you’re bad at your job, but I protect my peace by surrounding myself with beautiful people."
"Ah..." Director Sarian tilted his head. "Beautiful people... huh?"
Slater nodded without hesitation. Lola turned to Director Sarian as he glanced at her, shaking her head profusely.
Everyone else could only stare with their mouths open.
Cedrick darted his eyes between them before letting out a secret sigh of relief. Slowly, the corners of his mouth curved upward.
That fixes it, he thought, observing the dumbfounded faces around him. I guess Slater isn’t like everyone else.
Is he blind? Director Sarian wondered in shock, but it didn’t matter.
"Alright!" Director Sarian clapped, mentally cheering and throwing his hands in the air. No more worries about any complaints from the guy, then.
"Slater, I’ll leave you in Taz’s care, alright?" he grinned. "We’re on a short break, but she’ll brief you on the reading and your script."
