Chapter 269 - Lee Yeo Ri, the Super Rookie (2/2)

Yeo Ri froze. ”He wrote it... Especially for me?”

Park Soo Yeon's eyes flashed brightly, thinking that Yeo Ri would be ecstatic to hear the truth. ”Yeah, yeah! Right! See, this is a really special opportunity for you, Yeo Ri-ah! It's not every day that you get this kind of chance in this industry, you know? So... can't you consider it?”

Yeo Ri lowered her head as if in thought. She clenched her hands imperceptibly, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Secretary Kwon tensed beside her. He had noticed the way she reacted, and he was sure she was planning to murder this lady in front of them.

Yeo Ri closed her eyes, silently taking deep breaths to calm herself down. She couldn't be mad at Park Soo Yeon. She was both her boss and the parent of her brother's friend.

It would be bad if she hurt her, right?

It was a surprise that Director Choi had written such a script for her, as though he knew what she had been through. Did Da Na tell him, then? Or did he find out from the news? The media had protected her identity very well during the aftermath of the incident, but if Min Chae had been able to recognise her so easily, who's to say that there weren't other similarly observative people who did too?

Yeo Ri raised her head and gave the older woman a shallow smile. ”I'll think about it.”

”Will you?” Park Soo Yeon beamed excitedly, as though her answer meant it was a done deal. ”I'll tell him to refine the script more, and if there's anything you want to change, you can just tell him directly, okay? You have his number, right?”

”Right.”

Kwon Tae Yang could practically hear the girl grind her teeth. He reflexively placed his gloved hand on her arm as if telling her to hold back.

Yeo Ri glanced at his hand, then up at him with a soft smile, gently pushing his offending hand off of her.

Kwon Tae Yang almost flinched at her reaction. It was never good when she smiled like that, and he hoped that the girl wouldn't take her anger out on him.

He cleared his throat.

”President, I think it's about time we end this meeting. Miss Yeo Ri still has unfinished plans after this.”

”Oh, okay. Take these scripts back with you,” Park Soo Yeon gathered the 'maybe' pile in her arms, including her husband's script, and placed them in a bag for Yeo Ri to take home. ”Ah, right, I got a call the other day about a drama for you. The production team named you for the female lead's teen-aged version, and you don't need to audition for it. They say you can join the cast as soon as you accept. It's not too heavy since you'll only appear in a couple of episodes, so I thought it would be good for you. I'll email you the details later, okay?”

”Yes, president. I'll be going,” Yeo Ri smiled and bowed courteously towards the older woman, keeping her true feelings buried deep inside her.
