Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 140
Chapter 140
Chief was a few years older than Keegan. He was already married and had a daughter old enough to
attend kindergarten.
He was the reason why Ste started voice acting in animated shows. They worked together plenty of
times, and he even taught her some pronunciation techniques.
He was like a big brother to Ste. In other words, he was a senior who helped her kickstart
her career.
Ste had a short script and got everything done by the afternoon.
Chief was very happy with the final work. He stopped Ste from leaving as soon as they stepped out
of the recording booth. “Give me a second. My wife booked us a table at The Fresh Diner. I’ll take you
thereter.”
“It’s fine. I live around here. I’ll just eat at home.”
Ste was about to sneak out as she spoke, but Chief grabbed her wrist and glowered at her. ” Why is
it so difficult to eat with you? Are you scared that I’ll kidnap you?” he asked.
“It’s not that…”
“Let’s go then! Otherwise, my wife will think that there’s something fishy going on between us if you
don’t dare to show up.”
Ste kept quiet.
“Okay then.”
She knew very well that what Chief said was not true at all.
Chief’s wife was a history teacher. Ste had met with her before, and she was a very refined and
elegant person. Chief was so obsessed with her, and there was just no way that his wife would think
that way.
In fact, Chief wanted Ste to voice act for the female lead in this animated show. Chief even talked to
her about it, and she agreed to participate too. However, another shareholder rmended his
girlfriend, a rather famous voice actress, to be the female lead.
Chief only had a verbal agreement with Ste without any ck-and-white contract, so he could not
find any way to reject that shareholder’s request. He could not get over the fact that he had ditched
Ste. So, he kept asking Ste for a meal to apologize, but she would never be able to make it.
He only brought his wife up because he did not want to be rejected again.

The Fresh Diner was a shop that specialized in grilling fish andmb. It was a big space without private
rooms, and the entire ce smelled like smoke.
Chief was unlike any other famous voice actor who would participate in variety shows after getting
famous. Instead, he had never shown his face publicly. He would not participate in any events rted
to his job other than privately meeting some of his real friends in the industry. That was also why his
fans found him very mysterious. He gained even more fans.
Ste once asked him jokingly after getting close to him if he was just scared that his fans would not be
able to take it if they knew that he looked nothing like his voice.
Obviously, Chief denied her assumption and said that he was very happy with how manly he
looked.
He did not want to show his face because his appearance was not his tool for making money, and his
child was already old enough to attend school. In addition, he was worried that the media would affect
his family and child badly if he kept exposing himself to their cameras. He loved his job very much, but
he did not want his job to affect his personal life.
Ste admired him very much for that.
It was rare for a man who was so sessful in his career to care about his family so much.
It was around one in the afternoon, and a lot of people were dining there. Robin’s wife, Susan Payne,
came earlier, but she was in the queue for quite some time too. She only sat down for a while before
Ste and Robin came. Susan waved at them as soon as she saw them from afar. “Ste, over here.”
Ste smiled and walked in her direction, “Susan, long time no see. You look even prettier now.
Susan liked Ste very much. Ste was gorgeous, yet she was never stingy with herpliments.
That was one of the traits that Susan liked about her.
“Your sweet tongue has never changed. Have a seat. Robin kept saying that you guys would be here in
a minute, yet I waited for almost an hour. Did he force you to work overtime again?” “I’m innocent!”
Robin said.
Ste smiled, “I’m only making a cameo appearance this time. He has no right to make me work
overtime.”
She handed Susan a bag as she spoke. “I bought some pastries for your child on the way here.” “Are
you returning the favor just because we’re buying you this meal?” Susan took the bag from her anyway.
“Are you both hungry? Should I order some appetizers first?”
Then, she said softly, “I have another friending in a while. I’m just thinking if we should wait for him
before ordering.”
Ste paused. She immediately felt ufortable as she was not expecting another person to join
them.
That was because she knew she would not know the person, and it would be very awkward for her to
eat with them.
However, she responded anyway, “It’s fine. I’m not hungry yet.”
Chief noticed how ufortable she was, so he exined, “He used to be my ssmate, and he’s
sort of a director now. I heard that you’re interested in venturing into acting previously. However, I don’t
really expose myself to that field, so I’m unfamiliar with anybody in that circle. I suddenly thought of this
old friend that’s close to me, so I wanted you both to meet each other. If by any chance he has a good
role, he could give you a shot at it.”
Felicity was the only person who knew that she wanted to be an actress. She was a diehard fan
of Chief, and she remembered how Felicity pestered her just to get the Chief’s number. ‘It has got to be
Felicity who told him about this.’ She thought to herself.
Ste sighed and raised her ss. “Robin, here’s to you.”
She was very d that Robin tried to help her.
“Ste, it’s still too early for that.”
Chief teased her but took the ss from her anyway.
The three started chatting happily soon after, as Robin and his wife were easygoing. They would argue
asionally, but Chief always took a step back for his wife. Their married life made Ste very envious
of them.
The director only arrived when they finished two bottles of beer.
Chief had been staring at the door from just now. He shouted as soon as he saw the man they were
waiting for, “Daniel, over here!”
