Kang Ra-Eun had not done anything related to the entertainment industry during her break, so she had a weird feeling as she stood in the building lobby with the huge GNF logo on it.

‘Why does it feel so weird to be here?’

Ra-Eun had been at her agency more frequently than her own home back when she was still appearing on TV shows, but it couldn’t feel any more unfamiliar from having come here after so long.

Shin Yu-Bin, who had been waiting for Ra-Eun at the lobby, waved at her.

“Over here, Ra-Eun.”

It had also been a while since Ra-Eun had met Yu-Bin.

“Have you lost weight, Miss Manager? You look more slender than before.”

“My, really?” Yu-Bin said as she looked down at herself in a good mood.

“Have you been exercising?” Ra-Eun asked.

“No, not at all. But I just kept losing weight for some reason.”

It had likely been because she had returned to a consistent daily schedule after going through the massively inconsistent lifestyle of a manager.

Yu-Bin said as she called the elevator, “Let’s go up. Chief Jung has been waiting anxiously for you ever since he clocked in.”

Ra-Eun could hear how hyped up he had been through their previous phone call, so she could imagine how much more hyped he would be now.

‘This is gonna be an exhausting meeting.’

Ra-Eun was worried already.

Like Ra-Eun had expected, Chief Jung welcomed her in an extremely high-toned voice.

“Here’s the script that you wanted to see. We have plenty of time, so read through it as much as you want.”

Ra-Eun tilted her head in confusion as she saw the title that was on the script of Director Yoon Tae-Yoon’s next production.

‘Had Director Yoon produced a film like this?’

Director Yoon tackled concepts that were far more unique compared to other film directors, so it was unexpected that he had chosen to go with such an orthodox genre like romance. However, that didn’t mean the plot was generic; it was dyed in Director Yoon’s unique colors.

‘Not only is it unique, it also has qualities that’ll make it commercially popular.’

Ra-Eun could tell why Vice President Park Hee-Woo had gone so far to cast her.

‘I think this’ll do pretty well once it releases.’

Ra-Eun thought that it could surpass ten million in total attendance, which was rare for a romance film. That was how much she had taken a liking to the plot despite having the mind of a man.

‘Meaning, it’ll be a hit even for male audiences.’

However, there was a bit of a problem.

‘There wasn’t a film like this in my past life.’

If it had been released in her past life, Ra-Eun would know how it would do as well as what the problems had been if it had been a flop. However, this film was completely new. Ra-Eun might have hesitated if it were just a normal film, but...

‘I’ve already agreed to star in it.’

She had already made an agreement with Hee-Woo. However the film would do, she was planning on starring in it no matter what.
