Cedric observed Kieran carefully as they spoke, but the man''s expression
remained unchanged. It seemed, as Cole imed, that Kieran really was just passing by.
But Cedric wasn''t convinced. Kieran was not the kind of person with idle time to kill.
Cole, however, was fully aware of the reason for their visit. They were here to ensure L was adapting to her new environment. It was also to subtly remind Magi Pictures to take her seriously, although, realistically, thetter wasn''t much of a concern.
After all, Magi Pictures was Kieran''s enterprise. While he didn''t micromanage, he was undoubtedly well-informed about its operations.
Still, Cole thought it was better to make a point. Back when L was with Nexus Entertainment, Kieran couldn''t intervene. Now, with her under his own roof, there was no harm in offering her more opportunities.
Cole chuckled softly to himself. Their boss truly doted on L-a model uncle!
He added lightly, "Didn''t Magi Pictures recently sign on a new agent, L Hart? I heard she also brought along two of her artists."
"How''s L''s performance so far?" Cole added, careful not to make it seem like an outright rmendation.
As expected, Kieran''s eyes shed with a hint of approval, subtle but noticeable. Cole lifted his chin slightly, feeling rather proud as he felt that he was his boss'' right-hand man.
Cedric mulled over the question briefly before replying, "Based on my observations so far, she''s even more capable than I initially thought. She managed to secure a partnership with the Joyce Group for her two neers. From what I hear, it''s a well-funded project and a great opportunity."
Michael, seated nearby, let out a soft hiss. "L Hart? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
Liam whispered, "She was Dorian''s agent back in the day."
Michael''s eyes widened, his voice rising slightly in astonishment. "You''re telling me we poached the agent who helped build his career?"
Liam tugged his sleeve, reminding him to watch his tone in front of the CEO.
Michael stole a nce at the man on the couch, his expression calm and unreadable. Hastily, he fell silent, though his shock hadn''t dissipated.
As apetitor, he had always paid attention to Dorian ke. While rivals often respected one another, Michael didn''t share that sentiment.
To him, Dorian was arrogant andcking in empathy-a dragon yer who had be a dragon himself. That was the impression Dorian had left on Michael after their interactions.
Many assumed their animosity stemmed frompeting for resources, but the truth was that Michael simply couldn''t stand Dorian''s character.
He had followed the gossip about Dorian''s love life and concluded that a fickle man like him didn''t deserve love. L was better off leaving him.
Michael had done a bit of research on L herself-a brilliant woman, no doubt. It was unfortunate she had wasted five years of her life on someone like Dorian, sacrificing so much for him. What a shame.
Cole''s voice interrupted Michael''s thoughts. "L isn''t too busy with work right now, is she? She''s even trained an award-winning actor before. With her experience, she''d be a great fit to apany Michael

Cedric considered this briefly. "We''d need to confirm with her directly. She''s currently handling
negotiations with Joyce Group, and I''m not sure how far along she is. Plus, ourpany respects individual employees'' preferences. Assigning additional tasks would require her agreement."
Cole nodded. "If she''s willing, let her go. It''ll be a good way to assess her abilities."
Cedric agreed but couldn''t shake the feeling that Kieran and Cole''s visit wasn''t as casual as they imed. Were they really just passing by? It felt more like they''de specifically to promote L.
Considering her impressive resume and recent achievements, L didn''t need help behind the scenes.
But then again, if she were important enough for the CEO to open doors for her, why would she settle for being just an agent? If anything, she could probably take Cedric''s position as vice president.
