Chapter 704
The name rang a bell, but Celeste couldn’t pinpoint where she’s heard it.
Besides the name, his face was familiar handsome would be an understatement.
Celeste figured that since they would be working together, she might as well try to build a connection. But to her surprise, he turned around and sat alone after introducing himself
Celeste awkwardly lowered her hand and sat back down.
She whipped her phone and typed “Leonard” into the search bar
Then, she finally got why he seemed so familiar
Wasnt he the lead actor in the series “Mystery Lover‘?
In that series, she dubbed the voice for Sydney while Leonard used his voice
Having spent a week staring at Leonard’s face on the screen while dubbing last year, how could she not recognize him?
Leonard, a famous young star, made his debut at the age of 21 through a talent show. His first album, released in the same year, was a best seller and even had a track nominated for the Golden Melody Awards. In his second year, he broke into the drama scene with “The Immortal Path“, hitting viewership ratings of over 2
Since then, he had been in a hit series every year, quickly rising to A–list stardom in just three years.
Every actress he had worked with had seen a surge in popularity.
Thanks to “Mystery Lover” Sydney’s popularity skyrocketed this year
Having been dubbed for Sydney Celeste had seen Leonard’s acting skills.
To be honest, he was not half bad. Many idol dramas had low requirements for acting skills, which resulted in many idols having disastrous acting skills.
But Leonard was one of the few idols who could genuinely portray emotions.
However, he was supposedly a bit quirky and difficult to get along with.
Typically, during the airing of an idol drama, the leading actors were expected to participate in promotions, sometimes even fake scandals
But Leonard never stirred up scandals with his co–stars. When “Mystery Lover” was popular, Sydney tried to leverage his popularity to create a scandal and boost hers. As a result, she kept bringing up Leonard during the airing
At first, Leonard didn’t respond, but whether it was because of the over–enthusiastic fans, or something else. he unfollowed Sydney before the series even ended
This caused Sydney’s fans to panic and lash out at Leonard for not respecting his job, not participating in promotions, and sabotaging scandals while the series was still airing No wonder he was still just a minor celebrity.
Leonard’s fans were not to be outdone, they accused Sydney of being an average–looking woman pretending to be a beauty, trying to create a scandal every time she co–stars in a drama, and throwing a tantrum when her colleague didn’t play along
The incident blew up at the time, and the scandal topic died down after a few days Celeste wasn’t interested in these things but knew about it because Trisha kept close tabs on the incident.
She never thought Leonard would be her boyfriend in the series “Murder.”
She recalled the character didn’t have much screen time, probably the third or fourth male lead
It was puzzling why Leonard would accept such a minor role.
As Celeste was deep in thought, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She glanced, Liam had transferred $10,000 to her, asking if she was hungry
Did this guy only know how to court someone with money?
Had he ever pursued a girl before?
Celeste transferred back $10 and replied Not hungry
Liam immediately transferred back $100,000
What did you eat tonight?
Celeste looked up and transferred back $10.
I ate a hundred dishes
Liam sent another $1,000,000 soon after the note read. You eat better than me
Looking at her account balance. Celeste started feeling a headache.
She transferred $10 back to him and texted him to stop transferring money
Liam transferred another $10.000 note No
