Leo is nervous and sweaty standing outside a glossy audition room at starlume Entertainment company. He's been rejected from three studio's already this month. His agency dropped him and this happens to be his last chance . Leo *if I fail this one too ...maybe acting isn't for me *.
His name is called ,he walks in ,the lights are glaring and cameras recording,sitting behind the long table , Is Ethan kang , the CEO himself .
Everyone else seems tense around Kang due to his sharp suit,his icy stare and reputation which makes him untouchable. Leo starts acting,but nerves get the better side of him and makes him forget a line ,he tries again...too emotional,too raw ,the director signs.
Kang says nothing and keeps staring at Leo,his cold silence burns more than words .
Finally,kang stands up ,adjusting his cufflinks ,*Leo you have emotions ....but no control .Acting is an act of discipline not chaos *.Leo responds with a frustrated face ...And maybe you wouldn't understand chaos because you've never collided with it .
The room is filled with dead silence. Everyone thinks Leo just destroyed his career. Kang pauses ...then gives a faint smile *interesting..* he walks out of the room without another word .
Later that evening,Leo is sitting by the river side with his small bag of scripts wondering if he should just give up on his acting career .he stands up and starts walking home .his phone is ringing,*manager...*Leo responds,the manager answers *Leo you won't believe what I'm about to tell you...starlume Entertainment wants you...*
Leo *Are you kidding me .how is that even possible after I snapped at the CEO??
Manager*he requested you personally foe a special project *. Leo's heart skips a beat *what does he want from me ...is he after my life for revenge *.
The next morning ,Leo walks into starlume head quarters ,clutching the contract ,when the elevator door opens ,kang is already waiting hands in pockets for his arrival. *shit *Leo whispers. Kang responds *do you think you can survive in my company with that attitude?*you said I've never felt anything. I want to prove you wrong Leo..*
Leo takes a seat without responding to kang he is afraid his mouth would ruin another day .kang request for privacy from the manager to have a conversation with Leo *..And don't close the door behind you *Leo smirks and looks at kang .
