I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 40: "The Actor's long day"
"What happened here?" Philip Cheng asked as soon as he returned to the CEO’s office. His tone was assertive, but his expression betrayed no hint of shock."It was in a much worse state earlier," Marcus replied, his attention absorbed in memorizing lines for his acting project."Are you that bored?" Philip sighed, reluctantly using the intercom to call for a clerk to clean the office."Nah, I'm working harder than you think," Marcus said, flipping through his script."What do you mean?" Philip asked, moving furniture to sit across from Marcus."You haven't heard from HR, have you?" Marcus glanced at Philip briefly."What else is there to hear? The clerk met the standards; she just needs a bit of refinement in her manners," Philip shrugged."What manners? A less than professional demeanor?" Marcus snorted."This isn't your playground, so please behave," Philip said sternly."So, you're not interested in what I found out about the clerk?" Marcus asked, indifferent to whether his knowledg
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 41: "Aren't you kind?"
Marcus Xu entered the film location where he'll shoot his debut web series.Dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit, he exuded confidence as he made his way through the set, greeting each staff member with warmth.“Good morning! It's a pleasure to meet you all,” he said, his smile as charming as ever.The crew, taken aback by his friendly approach, returned his greeting with surprised smiles.“Hey there! Nice to meet you,” he said, extending his hand to a crew member setting up lights, who reciprocated with a smile.“Good to meet you too, Marcus. We're excited to work with you,” a crew member responded.He then paused to engage with the makeup artist. “Please make me look really handsome later,” he remarked.“Oh boy, you’re already handsome.,” the makeup artist replied, her words tinged with a bit of awkwardness but still continuing to smile sweetly at him.Marcus chatted with the make-up artist for a moment before spotting the production assistant. He rose to greet him with the same w
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 42: "She pushed me!"
Marcus continued with his packed schedule, spending half of his day as the son-in-law double and the other half as an actor working on a web series. He barely got enough sleep, but his love for what he was doing kept fatigue at bay."Are you sure you're okay?" Luther asked, concerned about his artist's lack of sleep."I'm fine. Miss Clarisse does a great job of hiding my eye bags," Marcus said, winking at the makeup artist prepping his skin."But it's better to get proper sleep. Do you have other projects on the side?" Clarisse asked, her tone friendly.She and the other makeup artists and stylists had grown comfortable with Marcus over the few days they'd been working together.They had been a bit awkward at first, but thanks to Marcus's kind demeanor and approachable charm, they quickly warmed up to him."I don't have any other acting projects aside from this one. I have multiple other jobs, so I can hardly get proper sleep," Marcus shared."Isn't this job paying well enough already
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 43: "Cleaning Public Image"
CEO Joe Sabal rushed to the filming set immediately after his secretary notified him about a live stream circulating on social media."What the hell? I clearly warned the director not to ruin Marcus's image!" he grumbled, storming onto the set in search of Marcus and the director. "What is Marcus Xu even thinking?"His feet moved swiftly as he kept his eyes glued to his phone, watching the live stream. However, he froze when he noticed something peculiar about the confrontation being broadcast."He didn't hit back?" he muttered.CEO Joe Sabal found himself deeply intrigued by Marcus Xu's behavior and his connection with the William Group, prompting him to closely observe him. After a month of working with Marcus, he knew that Marcus wouldn't tolerate bullying, especially without fighting back."What is he trying to accomplish?" he mused, the panic and anxiety on his face giving way to a curious smile. "Let's find out," he exclaimed excitedly as he made his way into Marcus's dressing r
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 44: "Marcus is a kind person"
Director Lee paced back and forth, biting his nails, anxious about the repercussions of the trouble caused by his production assistant. His mind raced, calculating the potential costs that Magic Entertainment would charge them."You better apologize to Marcus and CEO Joe. You need to fix this!" he yelled, glaring at Emily with a threatening gaze."Why should I? I didn't do anything wrong! This just proves he's really trash! Why should we waste our time on an actor who could drag down our series?" Emily retorted furiously.In disbelief that no one was taking her side, Emily's anger towards Marcus intensified as she believed she had uncovered his hidden flaws."It's you who will drag this project down! CEO Sabal even came here! Do you understand how seriously Magic Entertainment takes protecting their artists?" Director Lee yelled, his frustration evident as he raised his arm, as if restraining himself from hitting Emily.The other staff members on the filming set watched nervously, fea
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 45: "Beyond theoretical knowledge"
Marcus Xu reclined comfortably on the couch opposite his brother's hospital bed, feigning illness despite not having incurred any injuries himself. With a bored expression, he gazed at Miguel, who was engrossed in watching the news."Why are you still watching the news? Switch to channel 7; Caleb's new series is about to start," Marcus suggested casually."Are you trying to distract me from seeing the news about you?" Miguel asked, his eyes fixed on the television screen where Marcus's name seemed to be plastered all over."No, actually, it's the news about you," Marcus replied, stretching lazily."There's no news about me anymore. You should do what you did with yours," Miguel retorted, recalling how Marcus had managed to quash the media coverage of his own recent brush with trouble involving a gang/drug dealer—a setup he had unwittingly walked into after a brutal beating."I didn't do anything. Maybe your issue just isn't headline-worthy," Marcus retorted, refusing to acknowledge th
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 46: "Trash Reyster"
Marcus answered the phone with great anticipation, finding a secluded spot in the empty hospital lobby to take the call. He tried to mask his excitement as he spoke to CEO Roki."Why are you calling?" he asked, feigning reluctance."Boss, did you see it on the news?" CEO Roki's voice was brimming with excitement."Don't call me that," Marcus replied irritably, his excitement fading upon hearing the CEO refer to him as "boss.""Why? Anyway, Boss, I made it happen! I got Reyster Sebastian to acquire Megarev for triple its supposed value!" CEO Roki exclaimed, expecting Marcus to share his enthusiasm."Great job. Do you happen to know what happened to him afterwards? Or his reaction?" Marcus was more interested in the impact their scheme had on Reyster Sebastian."Of course! I made sure to check on him!" CEO Roki replied eagerly."And then?" Marcus prompted."He was scolded by the CEO and lost his chance to take the CEO position. Instead, he was given the COO position. He's definitely fur
I'm not the Son-in-law Chapter 47: "Reyster will be crying,"
Marcus yawned as he sat at the center of the long meeting table, blinking multiple times as he struggled to focus on the script he was holding in his hand."You look very sleepy. What did you do last night?" Philip Cheng whispered."How can you tell? I'm wearing a full mask," Marcus retorted, tapping his mask."I can still see your eyes. You better not mess this up," Philip warned."Yes, boss," Marcus replied, trying to shake off his drowsiness. But his vision was blurry from lack of sleep.Yesterday was his chance to finally get some rest, but he spent it studying project proposals instead.For the record, it was the second week in a row that he had slept less than two hours a night."Damn it," Marcus cursed himself, wondering why people needed to sleep when there was so much to do."It's starting," Philip said, warning Marcus with his eyes.Marcus simply nodded, trying his best to listen to the meeting. But the chattering in the room and the soft hum of the air conditioning sounded
