Chereads / My Love, My Death / Chapter 11 - Rival For Affection

Chapter 11 - Rival For Affection

Ava started browsing on the internet about how to seduce a man. She saw the wearing of eyeglasses and added to a refreshing charm. So Ava got eyeglasses, she wore them and checked herself out in the mirror. I don't think this is going to work. It has to! My life is at stake.

 

After dressing up looking like a nerd, she went to MK on the top floor of Daniel's office, and she sighted Daniel coming out of his office. She rushed to follow him, but she was stopped by a voice. Hi, darling! Is barging a new trend or what? Daniel asked Alana because this is the same thing Ava does.

 

Is it because of the weather? I'm feeling a bit off. I want to go out for brunch with you and I would like you to meet someone. Did someone else barged in, by the way? There is someone who walks around in the rain and dances around.

 

Daniel searched with his eyes. Ava saw this and hid more. Someone strange keeps popping up and talking nonsense. Daniel said and left, but Alana rushed to him holding his arm, smiling as well. "I'm coming with you", what are we eating? Daniel was still looking behind him as he walked.

 

Ava went out of her hidden place and watched them. Later, they might have gone far. She was sad when she saw Alana by his side.

 .....

 

Have you been trying to seduce Daniel Yolk by looking like this? Like nerd Precious, her friend laughed when she saw the way Ava dressed. I did it wrong today. The first two were okay. Ava defended herself.

 

Please listen, it's been four years since you last dated a guy and things like that didn't work at all even back then... Gosh! I don't know! There is no hope. I almost forgot the girl who called Daniel Yolk darling. I saw her in Hainan too.

 

It's obvious she is pretty, rich and engaged to him. And so, you are begging for your life, which is stronger than everything else. No one can be as desperate as you are and rumor has it that Daniel Yolk doesn't like her that much, Precious said, whispering the last part.

 

He doesn't? Ava asked curiously. Precious nodded. It's just a marriage of convenience, she is the only daughter of MJBC, and all her relatives are super rich, she is a woman of noble birth. Apparently, Daniel Yolk's parents are forcing him to marry her now.

 

A woman of a noble birth? That just makes me lose even more confidence. Precious stood up and held her, Hey! Pull yourself together, your life is at stake. Besides, he is not even married yet. You should just ignore his fiancée. 

 

I have good news that will motivate you. It's about director Charles's new project. Musical director Charles from Broadway? Are you seriously precious? Yes! Miss Ava scored a big one. He brought in director Charles on the condition that he would be directing the whole musical as well as the music.

 

And they are short of hands, so they want me to be an assistant director! An assistant director for director Charles? Ava asked. Yes, wow! That's good for you, Ava said happily. It's good that I can learn a lot from him.

 

But I heard he has quite a temper, so I'm worried. Anyway, that's not important, there will be an audition... An audition? Yes, wow!. And Daniel Yolk is seeking to be the producer of Director Charles's new musical now.

 

It is highly likely to happen. Really? It means, if I pass the audition. You can realize your dream and work with Daniel Yolk. It's like killing two birds with one stone! Precious did it for her and they both shouted happily and hugged each other. 

 

You have to come to our studio and prepare for the audition. Okay! Yes, I will definitely come. I will come up with some ideas about how to seduce Daniel Yolk. That is great!

...

 

Director Charles was leading some musical experts on music in an audition room. What's so hard about that? Again. Daniel, Alana, Jude and Editor Marie came in.

 

Editor Marie said he has been doing this for days to select the orchestra for our new project, all my hard work to bring him in us paying off. He is so passionate, he is really something. I followed him around for three months to interview him for our magazine.

 

He should be something. He is called a genius director who shocked Broadway. I know I went through a lot to bring in that genius Director. Qiang didn't seem interested, but he asked how things were going with recruiting Charles. You have to win him over. Alana said to Daniel.

 

You need a winning hand to win a game. Daniel nodded and watched Director Charles as he was leading the music. They are actually waiting for it to be done, because they want to discuss business with him.

 

I enjoyed your musical on Broadway, "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Daniel said," I don't have profound knowledge of music, but your work rang in my ears for a long time after the show. 

 

That's what well-made music does, Director Charles smirked. Thanks sounds just like director Charles, he is always blunt and straightforward. Alright. That's enough for formality. Let's just get to the point, Alana said.

 

Daniel, when straight to the point, we are thinking about producing a new musical with the Chinese market in mind, so here's our official offer. MK Culture Company is interested in producing your first musical. Please tell us about whatever terms you want.

 

Before we talk about terms, I guarantee it will have commercial value. From my experience, I can say my music is quite lucrative, but I would like to have the final say on the cast of my musical, from lead role to extras. 

And the staff members as well. I won't allow any kind of intrusion.

 

Everyone was shocked by his terms, they all looked up to Daniel. If he accepted it. I don't know if anything else, but the cast will have a significant impact on the commercial value which you talked about, Daniel said.

 

What is your favorite musical? Director Charles questioned. I think I just told you, your musical "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was quite impressive. Let me rephrase the question, what kind of musical do you think touches the audience? You have never thought about it, have you? Director Charles smirked.

 

You seem to care only about the scale and target market. I'm telling you all this because you see musicals as a means of business. I'm saying I will make sure it won't affect the profits of your business, director Charles said and folded his arms.

 

Editor Marie came in, but casting is a sensitive matter...so we could negotiate...there was...no negotiation. Director Charles finished it.

 

Alana wispered in Daniel's ears, smiling, he's more strong headed than you thought, right? Daniel said," You can hold an audition at our theater first. I will discuss the details with you after talking to my people...
