Chapter 44: Unexpected fame (1)

It is does not belong to me. It is translated by KobatoChanDaiSuki

While Kaya's team was in the middle of that, Martin was treating an unexpected customer. Emily Potter. It was her.

Of course, it wouldn't be too weird to see them together. Because in the first place, they were director and performer. But right now, Emily didn't seek Martin as a performer.

Emily smiled brightly.

"It's been a while, since we met in a place without cameras, Martin."
"Yes. But what happened? Are you going to agree to that proposal I made?"

Martin looked at her expectantly but Emily shook her head. Martin didn't get disappointed and asked.

"Then why......?"
"Well, as you and I are both busy people I will go straight to the point. About that proposal, i'm thinking about it. About the tasting program that follows after Grand Chef."
"Saying that you are thinking about it means that you have some kind of proposal?"
"You are right. You really are tactful. I want Jo Minjoon."

At those words, Martin's face got strange. Only then did Emily think that saying that she wanted Jo Minjoon could be interpreted in many ways. However, there was no need to correct it. Because Martin wasn't the kind of person to not know the meaning of it. He opened his mouth.

"Is it because of his talent in tasting?"
"Yes. If the performers of the program aren't set yet, you can at least put me and Jo Minjoon."
"But what is Jo minjoon thinking......?"
"That's not a problem I should be worrying about. Isn't the director in charge of recruiting?"

Emily's words were right. Martin fell in his thoughts. Aside from Jo Minjoon's opinion, he could only think if the combination was the ideal one. Originally, the program Martin thought of was about sending epicureans with good reputation on a tasting travel. However.

'Will Jo Minjoon fit in that kind of place?'

Of course, it was true that Jo Minjoon's sense of taste was well developed. Wasn't the sensitiveness of his tongue not comparable to any of the epicureans? But although Jo Minjoon was a pearl, he was in a non polished state. He still felt unrest letting him star as an epicurean.

And Emily saw Martin's uneasiness.

"Of course, it would be a bit different to what you had in plan. But I promise you. Although the direction changes a little, the fun wouldn't."
"I agree with that. Because aside from Jo Minjoon's talent, he can plentily become a star."
"Then I will be waiting for a good response. Call me when you have decided."
"Whew.........The work has increased."
"Increased? Did you have other work to do?"

At Emily's question, Martin let out a sigh bitterly. He replied with an exhausted voice.

"There surged a little problem in Kaya's team. Precisely speaking, it would be better to say that discord formed."
"Well, I was also uneasy. Kaya is a good chef, but she's not the type to guide a person. Who did she clash with?"
"Peter Gray. It was him."
"Ah........"

Emily nodded as if she had understood. Peter's skill was fairly good, but his character was really back. But his skills were only good if you talked about the early stages of the qualifying rounds. The participants that survived didn't have bad skills, and compared to them, he had quite a lot of lacking points. And even Peter himself would be feeling that.

Even so, saying that a fierce character got fiercer wasn't a weird thing to say. Emily opened her mouth.

"However, isn't it unrelevant? In your case, it would be better if that kind of trouble surges up because you can use it for broadcasting material. Shouldn't you rather be more happy?"
"Of course, I should be if it was only broadcasted. But in the end, this broadcast flows through the participants. If by chance, a bad atmosphere spreads, their attitudes and emotions will also be transmitted through the screen. If you take into account the long term, it isn't good."
"In the end it's that. That you have to take care of the participants mental health to a point. Right?"
"You are right."
