Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 140

Chapter 140

Chief was a few years older than Keegan. He was already married and had a daughter old enough toattend kindergarten.

He was the reason why Stella started voice acting in animated shows. They worked together plenty oftimes, and he even taught her some pronunciation techniques.

He was like a big brother to Stella. In other words, he was a senior who helped her kickstart

her career.

Stella had a short script and got everything done by the afternoon.

Chief was very happy with the final work. He stopped Stella from leaving as soon as they stepped outof the recording booth. “Give me a second. My wife booked us a table at The Fresh Diner. I’ll take youthere later.”

“It’s fine. I live around here. I’ll just eat at home.”

Stella was about to sneak out as she spoke, but Chief grabbed her wrist and glowered at her. ” Why isit so difficult to eat with you? Are you scared that I’ll kidnap you?” he asked.

“It’s not that…”

“Let’s go then! Otherwise, my wife will think that there’s something fishy going on between us if youdon’t dare to show up.”

Stella kept quiet.

“Okay then.”

She knew very well that what Chief said was not true at all.

Chief’s wife was a history teacher. Stella had met with her before, and she was a very refined andelegant person. Chief was so obsessed with her, and there was just no way that his wife would thinkthat way.

In fact, Chief wanted Stella to voice act for the female lead in this animated show. Chief even talked toher about it, and she agreed to participate too. However, another shareholder recommended hisgirlfriend, a rather famous voice actress, to be the female lead.

Chief only had a verbal agreement with Stella without any black-and-white contract, so he could notfind any way to reject that shareholder’s request. He could not get over the fact that he had ditchedStella. So, he kept asking Stella for a meal to apologize, but she would never be able to make it.

He only brought his wife up because he did not want to be rejected again.

The Fresh Diner was a shop that specialized in grilling fish and lamb. It was a big space without privaterooms, and the entire place smelled like smoke.

Chief was unlike any other famous voice actor who would participate in variety shows after gettingfamous. Instead, he had never shown his face publicly. He would not participate in any events relatedto his job other than privately meeting some of his real friends in the industry. That was also why hisfans found him very mysterious. He gained even more fans.

Stella once asked him jokingly after getting close to him if he was just scared that his fans would not beable to take it if they knew that he looked nothing like his voice.

Obviously, Chief denied her assumption and said that he was very happy with how manly he

looked.

He did not want to show his face because his appearance was not his tool for making money, and hischild was already old enough to attend school. In addition, he was worried that the media would affecthis family and child badly if he kept exposing himself to their cameras. He loved his job very much, buthe did not want his job to affect his personal life.

Stella admired him very much for that.

It was rare for a man who was so successful in his career to care about his family so much.

It was around one in the afternoon, and a lot of people were dining there. Robin’s wife, Susan Payne,came earlier, but she was in the queue for quite some time too. She only sat down for a while beforeStella and Robin came. Susan waved at them as soon as she saw them from afar. “Stella, over here.”

Stella smiled and walked in her direction, “Susan, long time no see. You look even prettier now.

Susan liked Stella very much. Stella was gorgeous, yet she was never stingy with her compliments.That was one of the traits that Susan liked about her.

“Your sweet tongue has never changed. Have a seat. Robin kept saying that you guys would be here ina minute, yet I waited for almost an hour. Did he force you to work overtime again?” “I’m innocent!”Robin said.

Stella smiled, “I’m only making a cameo appearance this time. He has no right to make me workovertime.”

She handed Susan a bag as she spoke. “I bought some pastries for your child on the way here.” “Areyou returning the favor just because we’re buying you this meal?” Susan took the bag from her anyway.“Are you both hungry? Should I order some appetizers first?”

Then, she said softly, “I have another friend coming in a while. I’m just thinking if we should wait for himbefore ordering.”

Stella paused. She immediately felt uncomfortable as she was not expecting another person to jointhem.

That was because she knew she would not know the person, and it would be very awkward for her toeat with them.novelbin

However, she responded anyway, “It’s fine. I’m not hungry yet.”

Chief noticed how uncomfortable she was, so he explained, “He used to be my classmate, and he’ssort of a director now. I heard that you’re interested in venturing into acting previously. However, I don’treally expose myself to that field, so I’m unfamiliar with anybody in that circle. I suddenly thought of thisold friend that’s close to me, so I wanted you both to meet each other. If by any chance he has a goodrole, he could give you a shot at it.”

Felicity was the only person who knew that she wanted to be an actress. She was a diehard fan

of Chief, and she remembered how Felicity pestered her just to get the Chief’s number. ‘It has got to beFelicity who told him about this.’ She thought to herself.

Stella sighed and raised her glass. “Robin, here’s to you.”

She was very glad that Robin tried to help her.

“Stella, it’s still too early for that.”

Chief teased her but took the glass from her anyway.

The three started chatting happily soon after, as Robin and his wife were easygoing. They would argueoccasionally, but Chief always took a step back for his wife. Their married life made Stella very enviousof them.

The director only arrived when they finished two bottles of beer.

Chief had been staring at the door from just now. He shouted as soon as he saw the man they werewaiting for, “Daniel, over here!”
