Chapter 144
Kendrick was a few years older than Liam, already married, and had a daughter in kindergarten.
Celeste initially got into voice acting for anime because of Kendrick’s introduction. They had worked together many times, and Kendrick even taught her some pronunciation techniques.
In Celeste’s heart, he was like an older brother or a mentor to her.
Celeste didn’t have much to do, so she finished it all before noon.
Kendrick was very satisfied with the final product, and when they left the recording studio, he called out to Celeste, “Hold on. My wife already booked a table at Culinary Crest. You can ride with me, and we’ll have lunch together.”
“No it’s fine. I live nearby, so I’ll just go home and eat.” Celeste said.
As Celeste tried to leave, Kendrick grabbed her wrist and stared at her, “Why is it so hard to have a meal with you? Can I sell you or something?”
“Kendrick, I didn’t mean it like that… Celeste said
“Then just come! Otherwise, my wife will think there’s something fishy between us so you’re too afraid to come to dinner.” Kendrick said.
Celeste said, “Alright.”
But deep down, she knew it wasn’t like what Kendrick said.
Kendrick’s wife was a history teacher. Celeste had met her before, and she had a great demeanor and was well-spoken. Kendrick was completely smitten with her, so how could he possibly have an affair with a coworker?
The real reason was that one of the main female characters in the anime was originally meant for Celeste to voice. Kendrick had even mentioned it to her beforehand, and she had agreed. But not long after, another partner recommended his girlfriend, who was also a somewhat famous voice actress
They hadn’t signed a contract, it was just a verbal agreement. So, Kendrick couldn’t refuse the other party, and had always felt guilty about it. He had asked Celeste out several times, wanting to treat her to a meal and apologize in person, but she had always declined.
This time, he mentioned his wife because he was afraid she would refuse again.
Kendrick was not like other top voice actors; he never showed his face. Besides meeting a few close friends from the industry in private, he didn’t attend any other industry events.
Because of this, he was very mysterious in the eyes of his fans, and even more people liked him.
After getting to know him, Celeste jokingly asked if he was afraid that the contrast between his appearance and voice would be too much for fans to
accept
Kendrick said that was not the case, and he was even very satisfied with his manly appearance.
He didn’t show his face to the public because he didn’t rely on it for a living. Secondly, his child was already in school, and he worried that frequently appearing in the media would have a negative impact on his family
He loved his job but didn’t want it to affect his life.
For this, Celeste really admired him.
It was rare for a man to be so family-oriented after achieving success in his career.
in the early afternoon, there were still many customers in the restaurant. Kendrick’s wife had come early and waited in line for a long time. When Celeste and Kendrick arrived, she had just sat down not long ago. She waved at them from a distance.
“Lett, over here Kendrick’s wife shouted out
Celeste squirted her eyes and smiled as she walked over, “Long time no see You’re looking more and more beautiful”
