Jun Tianyun looked at the newcomer with a strange gaze.
‘ Hmm, Handsome face, cold gaze, dominant aura. That shitty pink halo behind his head.’
For the first time, Jun Tianyun saw a pink halo on a man. It was because here, Rachel is the main protagonist while Mathew is the secondary male lead.
‘ No way, am I witnessing the legendary reverse harem?’ Jun Tianyun clicked his tongue.
” What’s happening here?” Mathew looked at the scene. The director got up.
” Ah, Mr. Mathew, You are here? Unfortunately, the shooting has been delayed. So, I can’t talk with you right now.”
” That’s a problem.” Mathew frowned when he heard that. ” It’s better for us to discuss some matters…”
” Besides, I heard something interesting is happening here?” Mathew crossed his arms and looked at Rachel and Liz.
” As expected, eh? Harassing newcomers?”
” Mr. Mathew, You should be mindful of your words.” The director creased his brows. ” You shouldn’t talk about the inside matters of our Golden Antler Studios.”
” Why is that? Just because you are a giant in the entertainment industry?” Mathew snorted as he looked at Rachel. ” Well, your company has been going downhill for quite some years. The reasons are pretty apparent though.”
” Do you even know who are you talking about?” The director snorted as he pointed at Jun Tianyun. ” He is the friend of Mr. Kevin Richards. I am sure I don’t need to elaborate further?”
Jun Tianyunw as dumbfounded as he pointed at himself. ‘Wh-Why are you dragging me into this shit? I am just a bystander.’
” Hah? Friend of that perverted bastard?” Mathew laughed coldly.” Then you are also one of the rich second generations? Living on your dad’s money?”
” Haha, Mr. Mathew, You are sure to jump on conclusions quite fast.” Jun Tianyun gave a hollow laugh, but his eyes already turned cold.
” Why, Am I lying? I know what you guys do when you see a pretty woman.” Mathew snorted as he turned around, looking at Rachel and Liz.
” Miss, You look quite beautiful. If you don’t mind, would you like to have a role in my new movie?”
” Wh-What? Me?” Rachel was stunned as she pointed at herself.
” Damn, Rachel, I didn’t expect you to get such a chance!” Liz was the first to speak as she looked at the director with a cold gaze.
” I didn’t think the so called Golden Antler Studio has such partiality inside. On the contrary, Mr. Mathew’s Big Dipper Hall is doing better in both television and movie hall.”
” Mathew, You think you are some hotshot because you newly became the CEO of Big Dipper Hall?” The director flared up. ” You are trying to poach my people right under me?”
” Also, Liz, Don’t forget you have signed a contract, Can you pay the contract breach money?”
” I…Damn it!” Liz bit her lips when she heard that. Mathew’s eyes shone as he was about to say something, But Jun Tianyun stopped him.
” Whoa, Whoa… Guys! Can you guys chill for a minute?”
Then facing to Rachel and Liz, Jun Tianyun bowed lightly. ” Whatever happened with Miss Ella, I take responsibility for this. I believe she was a bit stressed today, hence made such a fuss.”
” With my apology, I would like to offer Miss Liz an extra 20% of her contract money as compensation. I believe it’s enough to appease your anger?”
Everyone were stunned when they heard Jun Tianyun.
As friend of Kevin, they thought Jun Tianyun to flare up before Mathew’s taunts. However, to think he actually apologized and tried to compensate?
” I believe Rachel can vouch me on this?” Jun Tianyun gave a light smile. ” So, I would love if we close this matter right here.”
” I… I believe so.” Rachel finally spoke as she showed some hesitation. ” Liz, What do you think?”
” I…”
Liz was also stunned when she heard that. Although she wanted to leave, the contract breach money of 200,000 federal dollars was too much for her.
But to think she would receive an extra 20% of her original salary as compensation. Now she felt quite reluctant to leave.
” Hmph, A snake can’t stop biting, just like how people can’t change their nature.” Mathew snorted as he adjusted his cuffs. ” Miss Liz, Miss Rachel, It would be better…”
” Mr. Mathew, Why do I think you are trying to put oil on already dying embers?” Jun Tianyun lashed out. ” Perhaps you want to drag this matter more. Rather than caring about them, You actually want to see your own profit, don’t you?”
” Wh-What do you mean? I didn’t mean that!” Mathew was stunned.
” Then please, don’t speak any ill words anymore.” Jun Tianyun turned around. ” Everyone, We are having a break now. So, take some rest before continuing.”
” And, Someone see off Mr. Mathew.”
” Thi-This!”
Mathew realized he had no say in this place. So rather than being dragged out, he turned to leave.
” Miss Rachel, Please have my business card. If you want to try auditioning, You can call me.”
Rachel was stunned as she saw Mathew leaving. Liz nudged Rachel’s shoulder. ” Looks like someone caught a certain CEO’s eyes.”
” It’s not like that.” Rachel’s cheeks turned slightly pink. ” Maybe he felt I am good for a certain role?”
” Who knows?” Liz laughed.
” Miss Liz, I hope you are satisfied with this arrangement?” Jun Tianyun interjected. However, he was already annoyed in his mind.
‘ This side character girl, always trying to pair the female protagonist with the male lead. Can’t you just shut the fuck up?’
” Oh, I am!” Liz blushed a bit as she looked at Jun Tianyun. ” I am very thankful to you, Mr…”
” Jonathan, You can call me Jonathan.” Jun Tianyun introduced himself.
” Anyway, Since the matter is over, I should leave now.” Rachel turned around to leave. ” Liz, call me if something happens again.”
” Shall I drop you off?” Jun Tianyun grinned. Rachel rolled her eyes, ” I can go on my own. But still…Thanks for asking.”
” No problem.” Jun Tianyun still walked out with her till she took a taxi. However, as Rachel was getting in the taxi, Jun Tianyun noticed Mathew not far from them, standing beside his own car.
There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes, making Jun Tianyun utterly baffled.
‘ What the fuck, dude? You just met Rachel and already fell for her?’
‘ No, Something is strange here.’
As Rachel finally left, Jun Tianyun utilized his Eyes of Fortune and looked at Mathew. With a thought, the status window of Mathew appeared before him.
Name: Mathew Deimus
Destiny: 500
Power: 800
Golden Finger: Affected By Female Protagonist’s Halo, Two Faced Licking Dog Syndrome
Skills: Acting, Business Management, Martial Arts
‘ Wh-What?’ Jun Tianyun was speechless as he decided to expand his skills,
Affected by Female Protagonist’s Halo: The moment a female protagonist arrives, Host will show a qualitative change in his nature. Love at first side, a strong sense of protection and obsessiveness.
Two Faced Licking Dog Syndrome: A stoic, cold, and arrogant person will instantly become the licking dog of the female protagonist. Those who are affected by this syndrome will lose 30% of intelligence and gain 30% of power when near the Female Progatonist.
Jun Tianyun’s face turned odd when he read the description. ‘ Damn, These are kinda…accurate.’
He couldn’t refuse at all. Because that’s what generally happens in FL and reverse harem stories.
‘ Mathew is known as an intelligent and cold person in the industry. However, The moment he saw Rachel, he started fighting me.’
‘ Ah, So originally he was supposed to save Rachel and Liz and poach them into his production. Then Rachel and he would have gotten together.’
‘ Too bad, I took that opportunity from him.’
