Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

Chapter 82: Chapter 82 - Win or Lose



"Tristan, you can start. We don't have all day," Chloe said after they finalized that stupid deal between the two of them.

Chloe was honestly feeling quite sorry for Clara since her boyfriend had little to no chance of winning. Chloe had truly liked how Tristan had performed just a few minutes ago, and her mind had steeled itself into thinking that Tristan was the right person for the job.

Darius would have to pull one hell of a performance to make her think otherwise. She had practically locked Tristan in for the role, so the challenge ahead of him would be hard, extremely hard to surpass.

Nevertheless, Tristan quickly nodded and started acting the scene he was asked to, and instantly his entire character changed as he became this strange…practically perfect looking persona as he straightened his back on looked down on everyone around him.

After all, Thomas Brown was someone who made sure that he would seem perfect to everyone around him. That's why Chloe had chosen Tristan since he was extremely beautiful, and could be considered one of the most beautiful actors in all of Hollywood.

Minutes passed and his acting was more extremely memorable.

"That was great. Absolutely amazing, good job Tristan."

Chloe was reassured of her choice even more this time as Tristan was simply perfect for the role. After all, it was practically made for him. Chloe didn't know anyone else who was as narcissist than Tristan. He was truly one of a kind.

Nevertheless, Chloe had made a deal with Darius and she wanted to respect.

"It's your turn now. Do your best."

Darius nodded and took a step forward with a slight cough, making sure to gather all the attention on him.

Then, in the back of his mind, he said to himself, 'Activate Role-Play.'

[Activating Role-Play]

Instantly, his easy-going attitude was replaced by Thomas Brown's. It wasn't perfect since he had only understood 78% of the character, but it should definitely be enough to beat Tristan.

Darius had watched Tristan perform, and he knew that he was better than him. He knew the character better, even though he had spent so little time learning about him.

'Woah, this is strange,' Darius thought in the back of his mind as he didn't have to do anything. thanks for reading on m|v|l|e|m|p|y|r

His body, his mannerisms…everything was moving on its own as he simply watched his body act like Thomas Brown. It was as if he was in the third POV, watching himself as the story unfolded.

Within a few seconds, Chloe had a frown on her face, and Aurora had a look of awe in her eyes because of Darius's current performance. It was absolutely mind-blowing. Everything about how he acted, how he moved, the way he talked was practically perfect.

And the craziest part was that Darius had only practiced for about an hour.

Even Clara couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't tell if she was a better actress than Darius. That's how good he was right now. It was absolutely mind-blowing.

Because of how cynical Darius talked and acted, even Chloe, the director of the movie and the one who had written the script, started to hate the person in front of her, and that was exactly what she had been searching for.

'He's miles better than Tristan in such little time…how is that even possible?!' Chloe thought in the back of her mind as Darius kept moving around.

She had looked him up on the internet, but there wasn't anything regarding him. He hadn't once appeared or acted in a movie in his entire life. That was simply Darius's natural talent, or rather, Darius's overpowered skill.

Suddenly, Chloe moved her hand in the air.

"You can stop. I've already made my decision."

From the serious look on her face, Darius thought he had been so bad that he hadn't won. Even Tristan thought the exact same thing.

He even laughed when Darius was asked to stop performing. "Haha! You were so bad that they asked you to stop before you finished."

Tristan used every opportunity to ridicule Darius, not realizing what was really happening as Chloe still hadn't said a word. She simply looked at both Aurora and Clara with her eyes opened wide, still in shock by Darius's performance.

The camera crew was also in the same state of mind. All of them didn't move a single muscle. However, every single one of them knew that this performance would get thousands of views on the internet. Their marketing for the movie had just gotten a whole lot easier than before, all because of this mysterious individual they had never heard of or seen before in their entire lives.

"T-This was…" Finally, after a few seconds, Chloe finally started speaking up, still under some shock. "AMAZING!"

"How did you manage to understand the character in such little time to such a degree?!"

She simply couldn't believe it as questions flowed out of her mouth again and again without the slightest pause.

Darius didn't know what to say as his skill deactivated, and he regained control of his body.

"Uh, well, I don't know. I just read the script and imagined myself as the character. That's pretty much it. I just really connected with your character, that's all."

Chloe nodded a few times excitedly. "What talent…my decision is already taken. Tristan, you're fired. We found someone better than you, and he's standing right beside you with that grin on his face."

"WHAT?! I'm the one being fired?"

Tristan couldn't believe it. He had been so sure of his victory that he hadn't even watched Darius's performance, simply thinking of ways to laugh at him.

"You're replacing me for…him?" He said with a look of disgust as he pointed toward Darius.

Chloe sighed and nodded, confirming her choice.

Darius smiled. "Seems like you have to do whatever I say, huh?"

Tristan realized his mistake as Darius got closer to him with a smirk on his lips.

In the meantime, Clara hugged Darius from behind, extremely happy that he had been chosen. They were going to act in the same movie—they were even going to kiss in it!
