Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 56

The Secretary finally noticed the man standing beside Hea-Jung and exclaimed, "Oh, so it's this young man who the president told me about this morning before he went out. Right, he did tell me to provide you with a script for the audition. Let me make a call and ask for it." He turned around and made a call for the script.
"See, it's this easy. If I wasn't here, you would probably have to wait for a long time." She turned around and threw a cheeky smile towards Joon-won. He simply nodded and didn't respond to her gloating.
The guy turned around as the call ended and said, "The script will be here soon. Miss. Seo, you should have given me a call instead of coming here. I would have sent someone to bring you guys the script." He tried to flatter her. Hea-Jung came from a big family with a lot of connections. So Joon-won found it understandable that he would try to flatter her.
Hea-Jung, on the other hand, didn't even bother to respond to the guy's flattery. She had an expressionless face and simply stayed silent. The guy didn't seem to mind as he continued to flatter her.
It didn't take long for another young man to come out running from the elevator with some papers in his hands. He went to the secretary and handed him the papers. The secretary took it and passed it to Joon-won with a smile.
"Here is your script, young man. Looks like the president caught a new talent. I can see you will go very far in this industry. You can contact me if you have any problems."
Joon-won grimaced as he felt the man changed his target to him. The guy didn't even give him a business card, but he told him to contact him. He couldn't be more fake about his intentions than that.

"Now that the script is here, let's get going. I'm hungry." Hea-Nung turned and said before walking towards the exit. Joon-won gave a nod to the secretary before following behind her.
As the two walked away, the young man beside the secretary asked, "Boss, who were those people that you came all the way down in a hurry?" The receptionist also leaned towards them a little, as she was also curious.
When she called him earlier to inform him that people were asking for the president, she heard a loud, surprised voice from the other side before him speaking very anxiously. He never heard him like that, as he was a very proud man.
"She is someone even the president shows a level of respect to. The president was able to establish this company only because of her parent's help. Don't go around talking about this stuff with anyone and forget about what happened today." He warned the young man at the end before walking back towards the elevator.
Meanwhile, Joon-won was ready in the car about to open the script. The first page only had two words 'For Audition' in bold letters. As he was about to turn over the page, it was snatched away from his hand. He turned to the side and saw Hea-Jung driving with one hand while putting the script away with the other.
"Don't read the script in the car. How can you have your eyes on that paper when there is such a beautiful girl next to you? You can read it after going home. Now tell me where shall we have lunch?"
Joon-won was flabbergasted when he heard her narcissistic remarks. He didn't even ask her for the script back, because that would only make her more stubborn. He just looked out of the window and said, "I don't care where, but not in a fancy restaurant. Let's go somewhere less sophisticated."

Even though he loved the food in the fancy restaurant the day before, he hated how sophisticated it was, with many people around him and people coming and going out with dishes in their hands. He liked a simple restaurant better than that. There were too many options there, and he was the kind of person who preferred fewer options, which makes it simpler to order food, especially when he doesn't know most of the food on the menu.
"Alright then, I know just the place. I go there now and then, it's small but the old grandma there cooks some of the best food I ate. The place is also quiet, and not sophisticated." And continued driving after determining the destination.
The car stopped after a few minutes at the end of a street. Hea-Jung stopped it to the side and got down. Joon-won looked around and noticed there weren't any restaurants around.
"Come, let's go. The place is in this alleyway." He saw her waving her hand and going inside an alleyway.
Seeing her asking him to go inside an alleyway made the situation very weird, and he was alert. He slowly followed her, and she stopped at the end of the alleyway before a small restaurant. There wasn't even a proper signboard for the shop, and this made him doubt how she found this place.
Hea-Jung opened the door and went inside while shouting, "Hey Grandma, I'm here again. I brought a friend with me this time. Get us both two fried rice with a few sides."
Joon-won noticed most of the shop was empty, only a few people were present, having their food in silence. The whole shop only had 3 tables with 4 chairs for each table.
"Oh, young lady, you are here this week, too. You brought a friend too. Nice, come in, I'll quickly get you your food. Go ahead and sit." An old voice came from the other side of the cooking station and Joon-won finally noticed the old woman.
Hea-Jung nodded and sat at a table while waving her hand towards Joon-won. Joon-won sat and asked, "How did you even find this place?"
