" Didn't you get it yet? Actually have you heard about Alpha Media Group?" Samuel asked. It was best to throw a question out as a distraction.
" Yeah, Isn't it the new company production company aggressively expanding recently?" She asked. Samuel had dipped his toes in the Korean market a few years ago after establishing a few companies geared toward the new emerging entertainment industry.
" Boy over flower is something they want to produce. I have some connection to the company's owner and he mentioned that he was interested to cast you in it." Nice! It was the best he could do at the moment.
" Sister, I recall that the boss recently got such offer. He must be talking about it." the agent whispered in her ears.
" Well, if that is a request from Mr Samuel. I would love to personally see the script."
" The role definitely suits you! I am sure it will be a huge success if you take part in it." It was enough encouragement rest depended on her.
BOF became the must-watch drama after the Korean wave took the world by storm; that was also why Samuel was so interested in preserving the 'original' cast members. It would be a good start for his production house.
" I will strongly consider it." She could flat-out agree to it. There were specific steps that needed to be followed as a contracted actress.
"But what happened at the gate?" Samuel was still curious about it.
"Hey, let's not mention it, I was surprisingly unlucky when I came to the United States..." She told Samuel what had happened before.
" You know we are here too!" Liliana was frustrated; they spoke a foreign language while smiling and laughing.
Samuel told them what happened, and their irritation quickly turned into pity.
" That's very scary! I don't know what I would do in that situation." Rosaline said.
" You should have chased down the thief!" Liliana responded with violence.
Hye-sun didn't know what the girls were talking about, but seeing their concerned looks, she felt thankful that these people understood her worries.
"Forget it; let's talk about your girlfriends! Do you really mean what you said before? Are they models too?" She opened up a little and felt comfortable talking with him in Korean.
"Ah, yes but I'm not a celebrity. As for popularity, I can't say much. Maybe semi-famous?"
Samuel had not discussed their messy relationship; the most he could say was, "It's complicated". It was not that he was scared, maybe a little, but as someone who never backed down from anything, he was ready to face whatever came his way!
"Right, Although I am here. It doesn't change the fact that I lost the invitation letter. I don't even know where I should sit now." Suddenly Hye-sun thought about her predicament.
" We could sit at the corner, right? I don't think they will recheck it." The agent, who was somewhat familiar with such parties, gave his suggestion.
"It's okay, you can follow me for a while, I still have some fame in United States." Samuel said with a smile.
Koo Hye-sun was shocked to hear him.
This young man who hardly looked over twenty was saying such outrageous things; even if Jackie Chan was here, he would refrain from making such comments surrounded by this many influential people!
She was sure about her estimates as she had observed him from close proximity. She knew that young people of this age often liked to brag about their capability, but it should be done in moderation!
However, the other party had already helped her, so she followed him. His confidence would soon crumble when something really happened.
Samuel was unaware that he had been regarded as a kid eager to express himself.
"Let's go, the press conference will begin soon." After speaking, Samuel took everyone and headed deeper into the venue.
Koo Hye-sun sighed and quickly followed Samuel.
...
...
...
The conference was not of the traditional type that utilized catwalk and such; it was more like a social gathering with a buffet system where you could ask someone or do it yourself.
It was so because most people could feel some craving waiting for the press conference to begin. As such, one could enjoy some snacks and drinks.
A small stage was set up where the models would walk after the show officially began. The company was experimenting as it was already its core motto.
Samuel asked for a few glasses of non-alcoholic cocktails for the girls; he was the youngest and not eligible to drink yet. It was an excellent way to share his pain.
"Miss Hye-sun, what would you like to drink?" Samuel asked the 'guest'.
"Whatever you are having." Seeing such a wide variety of drinks was a little too much for her. It was better to follow the herd in such a situation not to embarrass herself.
Samuel didn't notice it and casually handed her and her agent two cups.
"Thank you."
Meanwhile, Liliana and Rosaline took one sip and knew it was only a flavoured drink without any alcohol. They wanted to protest, but they forgot about it because it was tasty.
A particular actress not far away noticed Samuel among the crowd at this time. Samuel was already surrounded by four beauties at the last charity auction, but she failed to say hello.
Today, She could see only three girls were surrounding him; two of them looked close, but the Asian woman definitely an acquaintance. It was a great opportunity after a long time to tease her junior! She could pass it up.
Samuel and the girls didn't notice when she approached them, but Koo Hye-sun, looking around, instantly spotted this person.
It was not her fault, as even in South Korea, her name was well known. She had many fans as one of the top actresses in Hollywood; it was okay to say she had a unique charm about her because whatever she starred in was a hit!
" Strange, She is not coming here, right?" Koo Hye-sun looked around and noticed there was hardly anyone nearby. Could it really be because of Samuel and the others?
Koo Hye-sun certainly didn't think an actress of such calibre would know her, but that would mean that Samuel was the person she sought.
"Kid, I didn't think you will be here. I can see you becoming more irresistible every time I see you." She surprised them as Samuel turned to look at who was so casual with him.
