Chapter 90
Kemp sighed, “Sure, maybe you don’t come from a wealthy family, just a little star in the sports world, and you don’t have much money, but…you have ambition. As for your looks, they’re good enough for Lucia. Since you two have feelings for each other, I…don’t need to break you up, right?
“Even though I care for Lucia and have kept boys who had feelings for her at a distance since she was little, protecting her well, she’s grown up now and will eventually want to date and get married.
“As much as I wish to hold on to her, I can only wish her well. Lucia is proud and ambitious. If she’s chosen you, it means you must have qualities that attract her. Although I interfered a bit before, I believe you two won’t really give up on each other because of my minor obstacle, right?”
After Kemp’s heartfelt speech, Thomas found it even harder to deny what he said. He thought, “If Mr. Gissing knew he had been unilaterally imposing a boyfriend on Lucia, with his temper, he would surely blow up. So, I could only take a roundabout approach!
“No. Thomas replied simply.
Kemp was pleased, patting Thomas on the shoulder and looking at him with hope. “I have high hopes for you. You really play well. Even though soccer in Zeloria isn’t thriving, you have a bright future ahead. I hope you can make a name for yourself on the field and become the best player on the national team.”
Thomas just nodded.
“Exactly. But you’re a bit too cold, Kemp said, leaning closer to Thomas. “While it’s true that girls like men who can take charge, you still need to show care when it’s needed and be flexible when necessary, in order to make a girl fall for you completely
Thomas thought, ‘Is he really teaching me how to woo Lucia?
Kemp continued, “I can’t give this to Lucia for you. You’ll have to face her yourself. Girls are easy to please. Just a little. coaxing, and they’ll be happy. I know her well. She might seem proud, but she’s actually soft–hearted and easy to win over. She’s coming back in a couple of days to take a break, so make good use of your time.”
Thomas thought, This is getting more and more complicated
He forced a smile. Tm heading back to Kingsland tomorrow for training camp.
“Oh, no problem. I’ll take care of it,” Kemp replied enthusiastically.
Thomas lowered his head and took a drag on his cigarette.
“By the way, could you give me Seraphina’s phone number?” Kemp suddenly asked.
Thomas looked puzzled. “Seraphina’s phone number?”
Kemp nodded. “Here’s the thing, I have a role in a film that I’d like Seraphina to audition for. She is naturally beautiful and fits my aesthetic perfectly. I left her my business card, hoping she would call me, but realize that call might never come.
“So, I’ll take the initiative to call her. You should also say some nice things about me to her. I’ll do the same for Lucia We can help each other out, OK?”
Thomas was speechless
The sudden downpour gradually stopped around noon
Thomas drove Kemp back to Gissing Villa.

“I wanted to invite your in for a bit, but you should really go home and change your clothes, Kemp said, patting Thomas on the shoulder, as if he was sizing up his future son–in–law. “After you finish playing in the World Cup, come over looking sharp for a visit.”
Thomas could only smile.
in soccer. His name is Thomas, What?
Kemp entered the house and called Tessa, “Honey, Lucia has a boyfriend. He’s a star in You’re a fan of his?”
A few minutes later, Lucia, just landing in a foreign country, opened her phone to receive a call from Tessa. “Mom.”
Tessa’s voice came through. “Sweetheart, you’re amazing. You actually got Thomas as your boyfriend. Do you know how envious I am? I’m a die–hard fan of his. If I were twenty years younger, I’d be chasing after him myself. I can’t believe he’s going to be your boyfriend. I’m so happy for you. You really did well”
Lucia thought, “When did my boyfriend become Thomas? Morn is insane
Seraphina was about to take a nap when she received a call from Kemp.
“Mr. Gissing,” she said, a bit surprised.
Kemp laughed on the phone. “Sera, I hope I’m not interrupting you.”
“No, not at all, Seraphina replied with a light chuckle. Have you had lunch yet?”
“Not yet. I just got back home after getting caught in a downpour, took a shower, and changed into dry clothes. I sat down on. the sofa and decided to call you.”
“What’s up. Mr. Gissing?”
Kemp said, “See, I knew it would be impossible for you to call me first, so time I’ve reached out to a newcomer like this, giving her a chance.
I have to take the initiative. Sera, this is the first
Your charm fits perfectly with the character I have in mind for the supporting role. I really want you to play that part. Can you make this wish of mine come true?”
Seraphina had guessed that Kemp was calling about the movie. Mr. Gissing, I really can’t act
“That’s okay, I can guide you. Sera, you’re so sharp. You’ll pick it up quickly. Acting isn’t as mysterious or difficult as you might think. You did quite well as an extra the other day.”
Seraphina didn’t respond.
Kemp added, “Just think of it as helping me out. After all, we’ll be family in the future.”
“Huh? Family?” Seraphina was taken aback.
you
Kemp chuckled lightly. “Thomas is dating Lucia, so if things go well, we’ll be family, right? So, for this little favor, you won’t nefuse me, will you?”
-Seraphina thought, ‘Are they dating? This misunderstanding is getting deeper. However, neither of them clarified anything. I don’t want to get involved. After all, it’s their personal matter. But it seems like Mr. Cissing’s attitude has changed somewhat. He sounds quite fond of Thomas now. Did he accept Thomas just because he wanted me to act in the movie?
“Let me think about it, Seraphina said.
Kemp replied. “Okay, take a day to consider. Come to Visionary Group tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll discuss the script.

Your decision won’t disappoint me, right?”

Seraphina thought. His cheerful tone is hard to refuse. After all, having a big director humbling himself to repeatedly request something from me, a newcomer, is quite an honor
After ending the call with Kemp, Seraphina sent a WhatsApp message to Clarence: [Darling. Mr. Gissing is insisting I play a supporting role in a movie. Should I agree!]
