Chapter 35
"Director Kimura, with you joining us, Seiran is truly like a tiger with wings! For the next project, with your ability, I'm sure you'll take the top spot!"
Hearing Kuroki's flattery, Kimura smiled with obvious satisfaction.
"Brother Kuroki, you flatter me too much. Top spot might be a little difficult! But I'm personally confident in at least the top three. This drama will definitely make Seiran explode in popularity!"
"Haha! Then I'll borrow your good fortune. Come, Brother Kimura—cheers!"
The two lightly clinked glasses.
But while drinking, Kimura's eyes kept drifting toward the corner of the table.
There sat several young girls, radiating youthful beauty that greatly stirred his lust.
Especially the one with gray-white hair.
In all his years as a director, he had deceived countless girls—many of them stunning beauties. But he had never seen anyone as gorgeous as her.
In her presence, the other pretty girls all faded into the background.
Looking at her moist, rosy lips, he instantly felt a certain unmentionable change in himself.
"Haha, Brother Kuroki, the talent at our agency all looks very promising!"
Hearing this, Kuroki showed a knowing male grin, then leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"Brother Kimura, there's an even better one on the way. Since I'm the one arranging things for you today, I'll make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest. Don't worry—I've got everything prepared!"
He had taken an instant liking to the gray-haired girl, so he planned to offer the promising newcomer—Nakano Ichika—to Director Kimura.
This way, he would gain a personal favor, and also use Kimura's position as director to secure a role for the rookie.
Once the newcomer became famous, she would generate even more profit. It was killing two birds with one stone!
As for whether the newcomer would comply? They had plenty of methods for disobedient ones.
First get her drunk, then drug her, take photos. Then threaten her with the contract.
Facing the threat of blacklisting and career destruction, what choice would she have?
Just as the atmosphere grew extremely harmonious, there was a light knock at the private room door.
Then Ichika's manager walked in—face deathly pale, expression dazed.
Kuroki saw his state and that he came alone, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
The manager approached and whispered everything that had just happened into Kuroki's ear.
Kuroki's face grew darker with every word.
That damn rookie is way out of line! I'm definitely going to teach her that orders from superiors cannot be disobeyed!
"What's wrong, Brother Kuroki? Did something happen?"
Kimura draped an arm around Kuroki's neck and laughed heartily.
Kuroki forced a smile, then spoke softly.
"The rookie just now has something come up and can't make it. Please don't take offense, Brother Kimura. I'll arrange—"
"Sigh, I'm a very easygoing person. I think that little girl over there looks pretty good. My new drama has a role that suits her perfectly. Call her over—we'll have a chat!"
Looking at the red nose in front of him, then at the peerless beauty he desired, he felt his heart bleed!
But there was no choice. He was just a small-time manager. Kimura was someone the president had spent a fortune to poach.
He really couldn't afford to offend him!
"Nana, your big chance has come! Director Kimura has agreed to give you a role. Hurry over and toast him!"
The girls beside her looked over with thick envy in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu—who had brought Ichika home—was still lecturing her nonstop.
"Whether you want to become a movie star, an idol, or anything else— as long as it's your dream, even if it's becoming the president of the country, I'll help you achieve it!"
"But you can't make the same mistake again. What would I do if you got hurt?"
Listening to Ye Yu's endless words, Ichika looked like a guilty little wife.
Her cheeks flushed; she lowered her head without speaking.
But her eyes revealed deep emotion, and her heart felt sweetly warm.
Being cared for so intensely by the person she loved felt incredible!
"Ye Yu-oniichan, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again!"
Seeing her pitiful expression, Ye Yu gently stroked her hair.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat first. Tonight I'll punish you properly— I'll make sure you remember this lesson!"
Ichika's face turned even redder.
She instantly understood what Ye Yu meant by "punishment."
At that moment, she wrapped her arms around his waist, lifted her head, and looked up at him with seductive, misty eyes—extremely alluring.
Just as Ye Yu was about to start some pre-dinner exercise, through the gu insect vision attached to the manager, a familiar figure suddenly appeared.
Gray-white long hair, indigo-purple eyes, and a bouncing ahoge.
This was… the Slacker Witch, Ireena??
He had never intended to let these trash who lusted after Ichika go anyway, so he had monitored them with gu insects.
But he never expected Ireena to appear at the dinner party.
What was going on? What was her purpose here?
"Ye Yu-oniichan, what's wrong?"
Ichika saw Ye Yu suddenly spacing out and felt puzzled.
Is my signal not obvious enough? Did Ye Yu-oniichan not receive it??
Thinking this, Ichika's cheeks flushed. She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Ye Yu's neck, and lightly pecked him on the cheek.
Feeling Ichika's soft body against him and remembering how good she looked in sportswear earlier, a wave of heat surged through Ye Yu.
Still—he had to go back to the restaurant. Not because he was worried Ireena would be in danger. With Ireena's witch power, dealing with these pieces of trash would be child's play.
But this was a perfect opportunity to get close to Ireena.
From her perspective, she didn't know about his abilities or strength. So wasn't this the ideal setup for a classic "hero saves beauty" moment?
Ye Yu carried Ichika to the sofa in his home, then lightly waved his hand.
A luxurious meal appeared on the coffee table.
He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.
"I still have one thing to handle. Eat first and wait for me to come back."
Then he whispered softly into her ear.
"You looked really good in sportswear today. I want to see you wear it again later."
Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Ichika blushed and nodded.
Then gave a soft "mm."
The next second, Ye Yu vanished from in front of her.
Ichika's gaze was a little dazed. Then she picked up the food and took a small bite.
Feeling the delicious taste, she happily stroked her cheek.
My Ye Yu-oniichan is just too perfect!
Back in the private room, after being called by Kuroki, Ireena walked over with a full smile.
Her stunning figure instantly became the focus of the entire room.
"Thank you, sir, and Director Kimura. I'll toast you both!"
With that, she casually picked up a bottle of wine and filled their glasses to the brim.
