Eric knew Lucian wouldn't joke about this, but he still couldn't understand it. After thinking for a mont, he began to ask: "What business are you planning? Is it still in the idea phase? And why do you want to join you?"
"It's a business related to several things. You will know more if you join. It has already started earning, and you should join since you are my friend and also have so unique talents.
Don't worry, it is nothing shady, and the pay is great," Lucian explained.
"Huh? I don't understand. How co you suddenly started a business, and what am I supposed to do?" Eric was feeling really confused.
"Just don't think too much about it. You'll know everything once you start working, and I'll give you your advance salary. So, do you want to join?"
Lucian wanted to help Eric, but it was a choice. Whether he wanted to grasp it or not depended on him.
"…" Eric was in deep thought. He couldn't understand the situation, but he trusted Lucian completely, so after a minute, he spoke:
"Okay, I will join you. Tell what I have to do, and should I stop all my part-ti jobs?" Eric wasn't sure if he would even get paid since it was a new business, but he was still willing to take this dangerous path.
"Yes, you can stop all those jobs. I'll tell you the details soon, and for now, you can keep this. You can use all the money in this; don't think too much about it.
The business is going to be big," Lucian said and then passed the bank card to Eric.
This card had almost fifty thousand dollars that Lucian had scamd from Karen and his two classmates.
So of the money he used to give in the drama club, and there was still so money left.
In the beginning, Mason and Baldie started gambling, but Karen and her husband started late since they were being a little more careful.
"Okay, how much money is in there, and is this really completely for or for sothing related to the business?" Eric questioned.
"Just a few thousand dollars. It is for your personal use. Anyway, I am going out to the drama club for now, inform the teachers." Lucian said and walked away from there.
Eric nodded. He stared at the card in his hands for a while, then he carefully placed the card in his bag and decided to check it after school.
'This feels strange…' he thought.
Lucian walked away from the class before Monk or Perv could arrive. It was ti to et Godfather's girlfriend and have a fun little practice with her.
As he arrived close to the drama room, Lucian noticed that several loud voices were coming out of the club room.
It was not because soone was practicing but because there was so kind of quarrel going on inside.
"I can understand that we have to change the main lead, and that's a good thing, but we are changing the entire story?
Do you think that makes sense at this ti when we are this close to the competition?" Ava spoke.
She had short black hair, and the school uniform was sticking close to her body, making her breasts look very beautiful. Her face looked like that of a doll, as if she was really born to be an actor.
It was no wonder that soone like the Godfather, who was quite rich, had this girl as his girlfriend, even though she is from a poor family. But unlike her innocent appearance, her attitude was quite fierce.
"Look, just try hearing the story once, and you will know why we have all decided to change the story.
You will be ecstatic to see it, but there is sothing that you have to know—oh, Lucian is here; he can explain everything," the director spoke, as he saw Lucian walking into the room.
Ava turned her head to see who it was. There was a small frown on her cute and beautiful face. In the school, Sana and Ava were the two most beautiful girls, though when it ca to ranking, Sana was a little above Ava.
When her gaze landed on Lucian, she was clearly surprised.
After all, she didn't know there was actually soone this good-looking in the school; he looked a lot better than any man she had t or seen.
"Hello, Ava. I am Lucian. You can check these scripts; it would be better if you read it yourself," Lucian spoke as he passed the script to her that he had printed the previous day.
Although Ava didn't want to even have a look at it and just go with their original plans, seeing the nodding looks all the mbers of the club were passing to her, she reluctantly decided to read a little part of it.
The story was based on the popular type where the female lead slowly falls for the bad guy.
That type of drama or movie was extrely popular, but at this point in ti, there weren't too many of that type, and there were several twists that made the story really interesting.
When Ava began to read it, she felt her emotions changing after every part in the story.
After reading just the start, she couldn't stop but keep on reading. The room was silent, and only the rustling of the pages could be heard.
"Yeah… this is really good. If we can work on this story, then there is a high chance that we could actually win.
Though we would need to put in a lot of work, I guess this is the best way," Ava spoke in an excited tone.
More than the fact that she was proven wrong, she was happy that using this story would increase their chances of winning.
This competition was extrely important to her since it could give her acting career the biggest boost.
If she couldn't succeed in this, then it would probably take a long ti to ever enter the industry, that is if she succeeded later.
But then she frowned and asked:
"You are going to play the male lead? So you would be the bad guy for whom the heroine will slowly fall?"
"Yes," Lucian nodded his head, a small smile on his face that made Ava a little nervous for so reason. He looked too charming, and she felt he would actually be perfect for that type of role.
"But why are there so many kissing scenes in the drama? I know that kissing and a little intimacy are allowed in the drama, but still, I don't think there is really a need for all that. I can't play such a role; don't you know I already have a boyfriend?
So I am not planning to do any of the intimate scenes, not ever in the future," Ava spoke like a loyal girlfriend, her expression firm.
"Well, if you don't like anything in the story, then—" Lucian began to speak but was interrupted by Ava.
"So it can be changed, sigh, that's better. We just need to remove all the intimate scenes. Aside from that, I don't think there is any problem," Ava said, gazing at the script again.
After she had finished, Lucian spoke without any hurry in his voice: "No, if you don't like anything in the story, then you don't need to act. There is actually soone else who wants your role and is even willing to do all that, so you can just leave."
"…" Ava was shocked and speechless. She couldn't form any words. With a flabbergasted expression, she looked towards the mbers of the group, and seeing that none of them spoke, she said: "Why are you just standing there quietly? We have the story, and we don't listen to him anymore, so let's just throw him out of here."
After looking at all the mbers who nodded in response, the director spoke: "Actually, Lucian is right. If you don't like anything, then you can just leave. We really need Lucian for this drama; you are replaceable, but he is not."
"…" Ava was dumbfounded as she heard these words. All the mbers previously used to respect her quite a bit, but now they were actually just throwing her out of such a special event.
She couldn't understand how Lucian even convinced all these people for such kinds of scenes in the drama. It was the rule of their club to not add any such kind of scenes.
Ava found herself at a crossroad; neither could she just quit the club, nor could she do such scenes. That would be as if she was having an affair.
"You—you all, how can you side with him when we all have been together for such a long ti, and I… I am going to talk to the principal about this," Ava said.
She knew the principal quite well, and because of her boyfriend, that short man had helped her several tis in the past.
"Try it, let's see if he can help you," Lucian said as he leaned back against a wall without showing any worry.
Ava felt angry. Since she had arrived at this school, she was treated like a queen or a goddess, and after becoming Godfather's girlfriend, her status beca really high.
She had never been treated like this ever in her life, so she wanted to teach Lucian a really good lesson and also the mbers of the club.
