Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel 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 Stella 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 Stella. In other words, he was a senior who helped her kickstart

her career.

Stella had a short script and got everything done by the afternoon.

Chief was very happy with the final work. He stopped Stella 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 there later.”

“It’s fine. I live around here. I’ll just eat at home.”

Stella 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.”

Stella kept quiet.

“Okay then.”

She knew very well that what Chief said was not true at all.

Chief’s wife was a history teacher. Stella 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 Stella 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 recommended his girlfriend, a rather famous voice actress, to be the female lead.

Chief only had a verbal agreement with Stella without any black-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 Stella. So, he kept asking Stella 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 and lamb. It was a big space without private rooms, and the entire place 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 related 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.

Stella 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.
