Chapter 356 – Stella Haley #2
Entering the president’s office with Boyoung, I saw Choi Seunghwan.
He was an ordinary human being that could be found anywhere.
A normal face, a normal body, and even a normal hairstyle.
Standard standard. Even the way he talks seems normal.
However, as if he wanted to show off his current position, he had left a nameplate on his desk that read [CEO Seung-hwan Choi]… Which looked incredibly expensive.
You seem to have a little bit of ambition.
I grinned at Choi Seung-hwan and greeted him politely.
“Hello, my name is Song Ji-hyeok.”
“This is Choi Seung-hwan. Are you handsome…?”
It’s embarrassing.
The manager of an entertainer with a genuine fan base said that he very much prefers ordinary people like Choi Seung-hwan.
Due to the nature of celebrities who stick together with their manager all day long, they are bound to give affection to their manager.
If the manager is handsome or pretty, the possibility that he or she may have eyes with a celebrity cannot be ruled out, and if it is rumored, the damage to the image will be great.
“Thank you.”
“Age is?”
“I am twenty-two years old. I was discharged a while ago.”
There was a reason why the age was set one year older than Stella.
It’s because I want to pretend to be a soldier and I want to be called an older brother.
It’s more likely that Stella will notice later when she enters the headquarters, but…
That’s when you go and look around in moderation.
You have to mix a little bit of truth into the lies.
That way, when Stella transforms, she makes a hole through which she can escape.
Song Ji-hyeok’s entire life is a lie, but that’s what he says.
Choi Seung-hwan, who was carefully examining my fabricated resume, lit up his eyes.
“Department of Future Science at Korea University? Why did you take a leave of absence when you go to a promising place?”
“I’m in need of money.”
“Money…? Do you know that your manager has a bad salary? I’m sorry, but my company doesn’t have a lot of work right now… I can’t give you a lot of money.”
“Boyoung said that noona takes care of it separately.”
Choi Seung-hwan looked at Bo-young.
Then he looked back at me and shook her head.
“Yeah…Well…It’s good to be honest. But why don’t I know you?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, nothing else… I’ve been Boyoung’s manager for five years. That’s why she knows at least a little bit of everything around Boyoung. I heard your name for the first time today.”
It was Boyoung who answered the question.
“How does oppa know all the people around me? Don’t overdo it.”
“Anyone knows.”
“It’s about family and celebrities. Oppa, do you know the names of my friends?”
“You know, why don’t you know? So-young, Hye-eun…”
“It’s not Hye-eun, it’s Eun-hye.”
“Yes, Eunhye… I was confused for a moment.”
“She used to say that she was Hye-eun, but it’s confusing…”
Choi Seung-hwan’s gaze briefly turned toward me.
It felt sad to be criticized in front of me.
Choi Seung-hwan’s voice lowered as he tried to put on a calm expression.
“I tried to hire someone with experience as Stella’s manager, but…”
“Where is the road manager with experience these days? It’s a job crisis. He’s a really good kid, so let’s do it together. Originally, I was going to work with Jihyeok, but I couldn’t get it because of his age and military service.”
“Does it make you very sad? Then what about me? What are Nakdong River duck eggs?”
“That’s what they say… You know I can’t do without you. Will you pick it up anyway?”
“Well…”
Choi Seung-hwan, scratching his head, got up from his seat and held out his hand to me.
“Because Boyoung is the younger brother you know, trust him and leave it to him?”
The appearance of not being able to properly assert oneself and riding on public opinion… No, the opinion of the strong.
It is the epitome of a puppet. He has the qualifications of a perfect pantsuit boss.
I wish you well in the future.
I smiled as I held Choi Seung-hwan’s hand.
“I’ll do my best.”
“Have you seen Stella?”
“As soon as Boyoung was offered to me by her sister, I looked for it.”
“Are you saying you didn’t know? You must be famous… You don’t seem to have much interest in the entertainment industry, do you?”
“I live a busy life. To make money…”
“I like that. I’m sure you heard from Boyoung, but shouldn’t she be selfish? Then it’s out.”
No, she will have it to her heart’s content.
Is it selfish? I’ll bite and suck it in the van and at Stella’s house.
They say that the entertainment industry is the kingdom of animals, so shouldn’t it be right for me to protect it?
“Of course.”
“Do you know what the manager does?”
“I heard that the road manager is mostly driving. I take care of celebrities, and if there is a contracted bodyguard or broadcast appearance, I contact the person in charge…”
“Yeah, well… Our agency is small right now, so there must be a lot of things to do besides that. Let’s go together for a long time I’ll give you the corporate card and car key tomorrow while preparing the employment contract. Are you good at driving?”
“Good.”
“Okay, I have something to say to Boyoung, so she’s taking a break in the bathroom. Did she eat? Would you like a hamburger?”
Heart is good want to kill
“I came to eat. I will be out.”
“Okay.”
**
“They just arrived in front of the common entrance.”
Those were Boyoung’s words as she put down her cell phone.
We finally meet.
It would have been quite embarrassing if we had met while the demon world work hadn’t been completed, but it’s just cool since we’ve come back after solving everything.
I’m excited. But you have to stay calm.
The first image is just a business relationship. This is just fine.
I went to the front door with Boyoung, calmed her pounding heart, and waited for Stella to come up.
Not long after,
Ding-dong-!
A cheerful bell rang throughout the living room.
Boyoung glanced at me and went to the front door and opened it.
Rattle!
“Sister! Hello…”
Stella, who greeted Boyoung with a fresh voice, turns to me.
She with her long light brown hair tucked down one of her shoulders, just like we saw at her concert.
Stella Haley, with sky-blue eyes that conveyed mildness, straightened the straps of her guitar bag on both of her shoulders.
She then scratches her own pointed nose once and nods her snoring head.
“Hello…?”
Greetings are bright.
Glancing at the mark of the earring on her earlobe, I held out her hand with a broad smile.
“Hello. I am Song Ji-hyeok.”
“I’m Stella Haley…”
After shaking hands with Stella, I felt a thrilling current flow through my body.
Well-maintained fingers are really pretty.
It feels like it fits in my hand and looks long.
Maybe it’s because I came without gloves on a cold day, and my hands are even full of cold.
I said after shaking her hand a couple of times.
“Take good care of me.”
“Yes? Ah… Yes, please take care of me too.”
After shaking hands, Stella looked at her Boyoung with her eyes wondering what this was all about.
She explained as Boyoung, who was wearing a fake smile, put her hand on my back.
“Jihyeok is my younger sister, and she will work as your manager from now on. She is a year older than you.”
“Mae, the manager…?”
“Yes. Why? No?”
“No, no… It’s not that I hate it… It was too sudden…”
“You should prepare for your debut soon.”
At those words, Stella’s normally big eyes opened even wider.
For a moment, I thought I wanted to lick my eyes.
The thick lips are also so desirable… The pink glow harmonizes with the white skin tone, creating admiration.
It makes me want to jump right in and attack it.
“Debut…? Me?”
“You kept telling me to wait a little bit. I do not remember?”
“I am… I am…”
Are you happy? Or are you nervous?
Stella pounded her own chest.
“Sister… Can I go to the bathroom for a while?”
Looking at the beautiful smile that seemed to brighten up the living room, I thought it was both.
Boyoung nodded her head willingly.
“Go.”
“Yes, ah… Thank you very much.”
She was the one who greeted me once again as I was about to walk into the house.
As I put her hands together politely and bow her upper body, the head of her guitar bag barely touches my forehead.
It’s not as good as Adele, but you also have a sneaky side.
Stella took off her shoes and put them in order. She bowed to me again and silently put her guitar bag in the corner of the living room.
Then she got up on her toes and headed for the bathroom.
It’s nice to see the caring attitude permeating the body.
Her height is not as tall as mid-160, but her legs look elongated, perhaps because of her good body proportions.
As she examined her back, I could barely hold back her laughter when I saw the cute socks underneath the jeans.
It was a sock with a little penguin embroidered near her ankle, but it felt unsuitable for Stella, who has more innocence than cuteness.
‘Adele will like it.’
**
Stella was friendly.
No, rather than that, she was forcing herself to talk to me.
From now on, she is trying to get close to the manager who will be eating a pot of rice.
Even if you don’t do it on purpose, you’ll naturally become close, but it’s cute.
“Ah… So, oppa, is he going to get a job right after he gets discharged? Aren’t you resting?”
Her heart skips a beat when she hears the name ‘oppa’ coming out of her mouth.
I was aiming for it, but when I actually heard it, it felt like my ears were being purified.
After effortlessly sipping my coffee, I tapped the leg of Boyoung, who was sitting next to Stella, with my foot.
Then Boyoung quickly changed the topic.
“I went to the agency today and met Seunghwan oppa. As long as you agree, we will pick a music video for our debut song right away, and set a release date.”
“Gee, really…?”
“Yes. What do you want to do?”
“I want to do it unconditionally.”
Stella’s voice trembled imperceptibly.
She’s nervous, but she’s willing to take on a challenge.
It’s good that she has enough willpower. The taste of her drops must be worth it.
“The music video is going to go according to the synopsis we discussed before, but is there anything you want to change?”
“No. I want you to do it.”
“Okay. Then Seunghwan will send a continuum to oppa tomorrow.”
“Yes, sister. Thank you.”
“From tomorrow, we will move according to schedule. Tell Alex.”
At the mention of her brother’s name, Stella’s expression grew worried.
It’s worth knowing. You’ll be worried about getting into an accident.
So, she should have been scolded.
Why didn’t you tell her that if she bought and ran around one more time, she would never see her again, or that she would sell it on the family register?
That’s why I’m better
“I know.”
“Close up and come to the studio. Jihyeok, let’s go, let’s work hard from tomorrow.”
That’s great acting
I got up from my seat and smiled.
“Yes.”
Then she held out her phone to Stella.
“Can you give me a number?”
“Ah yes…!”
Stella, who entered her number into my cell phone with her beautiful hands, called me directly.
Whoa-!
After confirming that her vibration was ringing, she glanced at me and said,
“Can I save it as Jihyeok oppa?”
Cancer, don’t.
Please save it like that
“You can do whatever you want. Later, when you’re done practicing, send me your home address via Talk. They tell us what they like, what they avoid, and what they are allergic to.”
“Food?”
“It’s okay if you can’t eat a meal while moving.”
“Ah… Yes, brother.”
First of all, the first button seems to be sewn well.
The manager job is only until Stella transforms.
You have to set the timing well, but after debuting, that doesn’t change.
The double life of the newly born national sister… Let the devil enjoy it.
Waving at Stella who stood up and said hello again, I stepped out the front door.
