56 Flirting with girls? (1/2)

If Marcel could have it his way, he would have left right after getting the director's phone number. But, he couldn't do that since it was not polite, and he was not popular enough to make such a rude gesture without being condemned by other people.

Marcel asked as he sipped on some of the beer in his glass. If he didn't pick up his glass for a long time someone is bound to force him to down the whole drink.

[They are having dinner, it looks like they will finish soon] Avian replied immediately. Marcel knew immediately that he could not make it in time. Liam would always feel sleepy after having his dinner so he can't ask Damien to make the child wait for him while he doesn't know when he will finish.

After drinking, eating and chatting for another hour, the director lightly tapped the glass he was using with a spoon to call for everyone's attention.

”Everyone has worked hard over the past two days. Congratulations Sherry for your single,” the director said and everyone cheered happily for Sherry whose face flushed with shyness.

”Now, I just received news that they will release the video for the choreography tomorrow at noon. Let's give it as much publicity as possible, okay?” the director announced before toasting everyone. When he had sat down again, Marcel scooted closer to him once again to ask him something that he was very curious about.

”Director,” Marcel called, and the middle-aged man turned his head to look at him.

”I have a question,” Marcel said in a low voice.

”What is it?” the director asked, curious about what he wanted to ask him.

”Well, how did you end up shooting a music video? I heard you were a very popular director,” Marcel asked, curiosity shining in his eyes.

”I'm shooting the music video because I'm a popular director,” the director answered with a chuckle.

”What do you mean?” Marcel asked, still confused.

”Your CEO promised that he will cameo in one of my future movies if I did. If he said he would be part of the main cast, then I would have just offered to film music videos for all the current groups in his company for a year.” the director answered.

”If your CEO appears on a film, even for a small role, it is bound to be successful. It's because he rarely acts these days so people miss seeing him on-screen” the director said, and Marcel nodded in understanding.

It looked like Damien was very skilled when it came to playing with his fans' hearts. He must show just enough of himself so they don't forget his existence and also to keep them curious about what he is doing.

”I see,” Marcel said as he nodded thoughtfully.

”No you don't, I'll still have to pay him and he is quite expensive, I can't ask him to act in something low budget so I'll have to be cautious when sending him a script for an appropriate role,” the director continued.

Marcel listened to the director talk for a while and since his tongue had loosened from the alcohol, it was his chance on getting more information.

”Why aren't you drinking? Go on and have some,” the director said and as he refilled Marcel's glass with liquor. Marcel used to have a good alcohol tolerance but he had never drunk alcohol with his current body so he was worried about how fast he was going to get drunk.

”I've already had some,” Marcel said trying to brush off the whole situation but the director didn't let him and insisted that he have some more. Marcel looked at Julia and saw that she wasn't even looking in his direction.

He sighed in defeat before he took the glass and downed the drink in one go. He stuck out his tongue and furrowed his eyebrows from the strong taste of alcohol as he felt it warm his stomach.
