Chapter notes:

I edited this so fast. Ignore grammar mistakes.

Story starts

The auditions for the child actors started in the office, and ceo visiting the new team is occurring daily too

It's been a week , and the staff have stopped treating the CEO like a new person. Because he visits daily , but never talking much ... He visited today too, but Pete's not here and he is waiting from him.

Tong is sitting in the chair looking at the potential child actor photos on the board, He is angry and unnecessarily scoffing at the staff for even a small issue...cause the main lead child actor didn't get selected.

There are 4 options(photos ) sitting in front of him and he is shooting daggers at them.

His old assistant director didn't go near him, he knows how Tong behaves sometimes. but his new staff tried to help him, but dropped out cause they can't answer the questions from the director

"Select this kid sir" one person tried to ease the process

"But he doesn't have the charm" Tong scoffed again.

When they point at the one who has charm ,tong answered

"His eyes are not intimidating enough." Tong said again.

All just gave up , the assistant director  told them to wait for Pete.

Only Pete could find the solution, but he went to pick up Venice from his school.

Venice came and sit beside his uncle who looks like he want to eat to the children photos pasted on the board.

" Uncle, are you joining in a child cult or something? Why are you looking at them" Vegas who sat silently till now laughed hearing Venice.

"Damn, he doesn't have any filter" Vegas thought

God knows how the 7 years old knows the word Cult.

" Pete help me, I can't select anyone" Tong whined.

Pete tried to pick and tong is rejecting saying something.

Pete understands the situation

" Guys,  we are extending the auditions for child lead actors again, to pick a new Candidate. Our director didn't satisfy ".

Pete sat in front of Tong ,

" What do you want the child character to be?" Pete asked ,

" Sassy, confident, and defiant. In Addition to that he should had a charm. But absolute obedience for his loving ones...."

" That sounds like Venice, " Pete laughed . "Ok I'll search for someone like Venice from Monday"

Tong looked at Venice and Pete and Venice

" No, no ,no " Pete understood what's running in his directors mind.

" Why can't it be Venice ,Pete. He is apt for the role."

" But he has school"

" Is he writing University exams or something? Come on , just one drama Pete"

Venice is observing the conversation happening beside him

" Won't you ask me first, I am here" He looked at Tong

" Please Venice , your favourite uncle is asking. Convince your mama."

" Ok, First of all, I am saying this again, you are my only uncle and second, do I get paid?"

Vegas, who was observing everything, laughed and Pete looked at him angrily forgetting he is CEO for a second. Vegas stopped laughing.
