Chapter 469 ON THE WAY TO A MEETING



Chapter 469 ON THE WAY TO A MEETING

“XIAO LAN, tell Reas to heat up the food once he wanted to eat lunch,” Astrid told his AI cat housekeeper.

His brother was using the virtual pod he bought him. Reas was probably playing one of his Mecha battles now. Ever since he bought that virtual pod for the other, Reas had been diving in the virtual world to play Mecha battles whenever he didn’t have anything to do during the weekends.

It’s understandable since that was Reas’ only hobby since childhood. He hadn’t played much after they arrived here at the capital. Then, school started, and he became even busier. Weekends were basically his rest days. The only time he would go out was when Astrid would invite to hang out. Of course, that didn’t include that one lunch date he had with Lauren.

Speaking of that, Astrid wondered how the two were doing now. It had been a week since Reas asked for his advice and, hopefully, had a realization about his own feelings. That’s why he couldn’t help but wonder if something had changed in the relationship between the two since then.

Although he was very curious, he refrained himself from asking. After all, it’s the business of the two. And besides, from the messages he exchanged with Lauren from time to time, it didn’t seem like something had changed between the other’s relationship with Reas.

Anyway, after telling Xiao Lan his reminder, he went out of the apartment. Walking towards the elevator, he met one of the tenants from one of the apartment on the same floor. The other nod at him as a greeting and Astrid also just smiled back.

As he entered the elevator, he once again felt thankful that the residence of this apartment building mostly kept to themselves. So, everyone generally respected each other’s privacy.

It’s an added perk to living here, even more so for someone like him who worked in the entertainment industry. At least he didn’t have to worry that someone from here would spread his address to the public. Not to mention, the security here was also very satisfactory. Especially after that last upgrade.

After the elevator reached the ground floor, Astrid walked straight out of the apartment building. There was a flying car parked just directly in front. When he walked out, the door to the passenger’s seat opened. He quickly saw Ellis sitting in the driver’s seat, smiling at him.

He also smiled back and got into the car. He greeted Ellis and the other also greeted him back. As soon as he sat down, the car immediately moved.

They were currently on their way to the restaurant where they would meet Director Hale as well as the author, One Leaf. After he decided to take the role of ‘Jace’ on the movie adaptation of [Serendipitous Summer], he didn’t waste time and quickly contacted Ellis to tell her about his decision. The other, in turn, contacted Director Hale. In turn, the latter contacted the writer, One Leaf.

And so this meeting was scheduled for all parties involved to meet and talk.

It’s not really a formal meeting. Just a lunch meeting to let everyone see where they all stood regarding this project.

Surprisingly enough, Ellis didn’t discourage him after he decided to take on this role despite all the cons. Probably because she also saw the value on the script. Not to mention the directing ability of Director Hale. The director’s works always had a dreamy feel to it, which would be perfect for the setting and theme of this story.

The only factor that really needed worrying was the choice of cast. Although there were only two main characters in the story – Abby and Jace, there were a lot of important supporting characters who would aid on the journey of the two. The casting director definitely could not just pick anyone without thought. n0𝑣𝑬𝓵𝓊𝚜𝔅.𝔠0𝐌

Hopefully, Director Hale wouldn’t be the type to be pressured by investors and put in actors in the movie who didn’t deserve the role. Of course, he knew that in some cases, it just couldn’t be helped. But at least the director should try to minimize the risk of it having a big effect on the movie.

“Oh, by the way, that friend of yours who’s also attending Redwood, the one aspiring to be an actor, I heard something very interesting involving him,” Ellis suddenly said.

Astrid turned to Ellis. His first thought was to ask the other what it was. But then he remembered that Snow wanted to keep what he’s doing right now a secret to surprise him and Kiran. So, what he asked Ellis instead was;

“Was it good news?”

Ellis raised her brow at the weird question. “Oh, it’s definitely good news.”

“Then please don’t spoil me about it,” Astrid said. “I want to be surprised.”

Ellis chuckled when she heard that. “Then it probably wouldn’t take long for you to be surprised. Your friend would probably message you about it sometime today.”

Now Astrid couldn’t help but be curious. But he suppressed it just in case he couldn’t stop himself from asking.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

It was a restaurant that offered a lot of privacy to its guests. As evidence of having an individual private box instead of an open area for the people dining inside. People who wanted to have private meetings usually reserved a room here. And it’s also a bonus that their food was quite good.

Ellis told the AI waiter who met them at the entrance about their reservation and the other led them to their private box.

While Astrid was about to have a meeting, a certain white-haired Wulf was celebrating. Why? Because their mission finally ended. Of course, it was a success.

They captured all the human traffickers, as well as the mercenaries who aided them and also the high-ranking officials that were key to why they were able to operate within the Tertius Galaxy. They also manage to free all the people those filthy worms captured.

And now he was finally free to check his [Cyberspace] account!
