The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 77

"Yoo Yeon-seo?"

Choi Jae-won, who played a supporting role in "The Season 2 of the Deprived," was taken aback by the news that Yoo Yeon-seo would be joining the drama as the character Lee Tae-oh.

"Why him?"

"I don't know either."

The manager's response was somewhat bitter. Choi Jae-won had been a part of the drama since Season 1.

"But didn't something unpleasant happen between him and me before? Right?"

"What can we do? It's already decided. Our big-hearted hyung will handle it."

"Isn't he uncomfortable around me?"

Of course, he wasn't saying this out of genuine concern. It was more of a question of whether he wasn't intimidating enough, even after they had both turned red in the face.

"He wouldn't avoid you, would he? He's a chaebol, after all."

Well, he might have the upper hand in acting skills, but that's about it. And even that's becoming a thing of the past... Choi Jae-won's manager had a lot to say, but he kept his words to himself. He tried his best to calm down his assigned entertainer.

"But his personality seems to have improved these days, right?"

"Do you believe that?"

"Well, his industry reputation is really something these days. He might behave respectfully even towards you."

"Even if he's improved, isn't it all pretense? How many times have we seen this? Are you my manager or his?"

Things got heated unnecessarily. The manager tried to mediate.

"Of course, I'm your manager. It's just a word of advice, don't worry too much..."

"Ugh, it's annoying."

Choi Jae-won muttered to himself as he turned away. In fact, he was aware of the rumors surrounding Yoo Yeon-seo. Her personality had changed, becoming more cooperative, and her acting skills had noticeably improved. Moreover, he hadn't even been nominated at the recent awards ceremony. Choi Jae-won was anxiously biting his nails.

"Rest for now, hyung. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

The manager, who had been watching his reactions, quickly left the room.

"Why is he trying to control me..."

Choi Jae-won sighed heavily as he walked home.

***

Choi Jae-won's eyes widened as he watched Yoo Yeon-seo warmly greet Ryu Hye-kyung.

When they had met in the same drama before, Yoo Yeon-seo had barely arrived on time and didn't speak to anyone. Even during the reading, he barely nodded him head and only said his name.

"I am from a different world from you all," his eyes seemed to say, and his arrogant attitude had not sat well with him from the start.

Of course, Yoo Yeon-seo had always been like that, but Choi Jae-won had exaggerated it in his mind.

"That guy is so fake."

How far would that facade go? It would be good to find out. Choi Jae-won gritted his teeth as he watched Yoo Yeon-seo wave cheerfully towards him.

"Huh? That manager..."

Choi Jae-won's manager looked at Itaekyeom, who was standing behind Yoo Yeon-seo, patting her shoulder and gesturing for her to stop. Was that familiar face back again?
