Chapter 63 D*mmit! That Gaze Is My Greatest Weakness!

Christopher was excited now. Wouldn’t it be such a waste if he didn’t take this opportunity to get a closer look of the national goddess? After straightening out his appearance, he walked toward Luna’s office on the second floor. Knock-knock! “Come in!” Shortly after he knocked on the door, he heard Luna’s voice from inside. Christopher turned the door knob and went in. “Director.” Acting like he didn’t know Maya was in the office, he greeted Luna with his head down. Despite looking focused and serious on the surface, he kept looking over at the woman beside Scarlett from the corner of his eye. If he wasn’t wrong, the slender and pretty woman was Maya. Maya wore a simple and white long dress today, and she had a sun hat and sunglasses on. She didn’t wear any makeup today, but Christopher was still shocked by her beauty. Indeed, she lived up to her name as the national goddess. Her beauty was not the least bit overshadowed by Scarlett, Samantha, or Luna.Meanwhile, Christopher hadn’t ever seen a famous celebrity at such a close distance before. He wanted to look at her a bit longer, but Scarlett seemed to have noticed his sneaky glances from the start and paid more attention to him. Taking a step forward, she stood in between him and Maya. He was rendered speechless. What are you doing?I thought you weren’t going to be against me anymore! When he was starting to feel uneasy about Scarlett’s behavior, Luna started to speak. “Chris, I’m glad you’re here. I have something to discuss with you.” “Something to discuss with me?” Her words pulled his focus away from Maya. “What is it?” With a smile, Luna looked at Maya and said, “I presume you know who this is—the superstar, Maya Soto.” After hearing that, he acted as though he had just noticed Maya’s presence. “Maya Soto! I know her; of course, I know her. It’s an honor to meet you, Miss Soto.” Reaching out with his right hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to know what it felt like to shake hands with a superstar. Scarlett, however, saw right through his thoughts and quickly slapped his hand away. “What are you trying to do? It’s good enough that you’ve met her. Are you trying to take advantage of this situation by shaking her hand too? Not a chance!” He conceded. Scarlett was truly his nemesis. Even a slight intent couldn’t get past her sharp eyes. “Here’s the thing.” Ignoring the incident, Luna continued, “Miss Soto is going to start filming a movie called ‘Glutton God’. The press conference is tomorrow. When we were talking earlier, she heard that you could perform Dual Wielding, so she wanted to invite you to take up a guest role in the movie. It’s an important role.” “Me? A guest role in the movie?” His expression shifted. She’s joking. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do it, but this was a movie Maya played the lead role in. Even if it was a guest appearance, not everyone would get the chance. But why Dual Wielding? I really don’t know how to do it! “Are you not willing to do it, Mr. Yard?” Maya became slightly nervous when Christopher did not agree enthusiastically like she had expected him to. “I’m inviting you with utmost sincerity.” Apart from coming to see her best friend, Scarlett, today, Maya’s other purpose was to see whether this best friend of hers could recommend a young chef that was suitable for the role in the movie. In ‘Glutton God’, the scenes were not long, but the role of the young chef was extremely important. Additionally, the young chef needed to have excellent skills because they’d likely need the guest chef to display his impressive Culinary Skills during the filming process for the authenticity of the story. There were many male chefs with excellent Culinary Skills, but not many who were in their twenties. In order to find someone who fulfilled those requirements, the entire film crew of ‘Glutton God’, including Maya and the film directors, had spent more than three months looking for someone all over the country, but they still couldn’t find a suitable candidate. There was someone who suited the role perfectly, but when Maya called him, he declined. When Maya asked her best friend, Scarlett, for possible candidates, she thought she was just giving it a shot and didn’t think there would actually be someone, so she was pleasantly surprised. She assumed that if she asked him personally, this young chef by the name of Christopher would probably agree right away. Unexpectedly, he hesitated. This role was extremely important. If they forced a commoner to act as a highly-skilled chef, it would devalue the movie. For that reason, she really hoped that Christopher would agree to play this role.“Mr. Yard, I really hope you will make a guest appearance,” she said earnestly. Am I not being earnest too? He couldn’t express his sorrows. If his Culinary Skills really were excellent, just like how real gold feared no fire, he would have agreed to the national goddess’ earnest request by now. The problem was that he did not know Dual Wielding. He had just risen to Beginner Level in the four Culinary Skills and was still an amateur. Previously, he was forced to use it to face Hayden only because that baldy had a death wish. Now, Christopher really did not want to take the risk anymore. He wanted to decline Maya’s invitation, but looking at the national goddess’ hopeful gaze, he didn’t know how. Thus, he could only stand sheepishly in place. “Do you call yourself a man?” Seeing the reluctant look on Christopher’s face, Scarlett couldn’t take it anymore. “I recommended you to Maya. Do you really have the nerve to not participate? Do you not see me as the head chef? I don’t care. You must take the role!” Naturally, Scarlett would take extra care on her best friend’s matters. I can’t believe he has the nerve to not join. On what basis?“Chris!” Clearly, Luna also felt like he should play the part. “It’s not just for you, it’s also for The Serenade. I think you should participate. It really is a good opportunity.” For a chef, apart from having good Culinary Skills, he also needed to build his reputation. Making a guest appearance on ‘Glutton God’ would improve Christopher’s reputation, so Luna didn’t think he had a reason to refuse. He understood this reasoning as well, but on the inside, he felt unsure. “Mr. Yard…” Putting her hands together in a prayer pose in front of her chest, Maya opened her eyes wide and looked at him with a sincere gaze. Damn it! It’s my greatest weakness when a woman gazes at me like that. Now that she was already looking at him that way, how could he refuse?
