IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

024

I’m screwed.

I’m totally messed up.

My life is over.

“I’m a worthless piece of trash.”

An empty office.

Veritas CEO Choi Seok-ho stared blankly out the window.

The view outside was nice.

“But the view inside is the worst.”

Is there a word that fits the situation better than ‘desolate’?

He thought he had enough connections and a solid career.

But it’s ruined.

Why?

Because he’s at odds with a big company.

“Is this really necessary?”

You can’t stop an actor from choosing a role.

That’s the business of writers and directors.

But you can stop an actor from choosing an agency.

Especially when it’s not just any agency, but a single-person agency in a feud with a big corporation.

Squeezing that one agency was nothing for Cybers QA.

“I just want to jump off a cliff…”

He’d tried to recruit countless actors, but the result was zero.

He adjusted the profit-sharing ratio to the max, negotiated contract periods, and raised signing bonuses.

No matter what he tried, he couldn’t recruit a single actor.

The rumors spread like wildfire.

Choi Seok-ho was at odds with Cybers QA,
and if you didn’t want to be on their bad side, don’t sign with Choi Seok-ho.

At this point, he just wanted to cry.

It felt like everything he built up in his mid-thirties had collapsed,

and that his entire career was a sandcastle.

“I’m so lonely.”

Especially since everyone around him had left.

It’s true that nobody was in a position to help,
but still, nobody even reached out.

Here I am, a guy who left a big company, and I’m really nothing.

Choi Seok-ho sank into deep loneliness.

So he suddenly suggested to the building owner that they grab a meal together.

He wanted to vent to some random stranger,
to lean on unexpected kindness.

He just wanted to have a conversation with someone, somehow.

“Is it time to meet?”

After looking around the office with no staff or actors,

Choi Seok-ho tidied his outfit in front of the mirror.

He’d said he’d come if he had time.
So all Choi Seok-ho had to do was wait patiently.

And just then.

Creeeak.

The door opened.

“Hello. I’m Kim Donghu. Are you the CEO of Veritas?”

A light shone in.

“What the…? ”

First of all, he was handsome. Seriously handsome. Unbelievably good-looking.
Then there were his long limbs and perfect proportions.
And finally, the aura.
