"L?" Kieran''s gentle voice called from outside the door.
L quickly scrambled to get up. She moved too suddenly, and her vision went dark for a moment.
She paused, leaning on the nearby furniture to steady herself before opening the door.
"Uncle Kieran, what''s the matter?"
Kieran noticed that she seemed off.
He ced his hand gently on her head. "Time to eat."
He made those simple words sound inexplicably soft and affectionate.
L lowered her gaze, trying not to overthink it.
He was a naturally cultured person, and such actions were simply part of his way of interacting with others.
She inhaled softly and nodded, following him to the dining room.
Perhaps because he had woken up earlier today, Kieran had more time to prepare. The breakfast was more abundant than usual.
But L kept zoning out.
She hadn''t even noticed when Kieran had cleaned the dishes by the time they finished eating.
Only the half-empty cup of warm milk remained in her hand.
L looked up and asked, "Uncle Kieran, aren''t you working today?"
"I''ll take you first," he replied.
Hearing this, L froze for a moment.
Noticing her confusion, Kieran exined, "I heard from Cole that Magi Pictures has been selecting new talent recently. You''ll probably be busy, so I''ll drive you to and from work these next couple of days."
That was indeed the case.
L was busy, but the matter with Pierre still left her unsettled.
When people are pushed to the brink, they are more likely to take extreme actions.
L specifically asked Jamie and Teddy to be extra cautious and even reminded Ethan to pay attention to his safety.
Kieran''s thoughtful attentionplicated her emotions even further.
He dropped her off at the office building, watching her enter before driving away.
She nced at the gradually shrinking ck Maybach, and an endless flow of emotion stirred inside her.
Cedric knew L had arrived and came directly to her office. His sharp eyes immediately caught the faint mark on her cor.
"A young man came to thepany today with your business card. I was thinking
of asking him toe back in a couple of days.
"But then worried it might be
someone you''re interested in. I was concerned that you might miss out on this recruitment opportunity if you weren''t here, so I was going to ask you about it."
L narrowed her eyes, recognizing the young bartender from the bar yesterday.
She nodded. "Just follow the regr process. If he''s suitable, we can clean him
up, select a variety show for him, preferably a talent show."
Cedric looked puzzled. "Are we going the idol route?"
L preferred stars who rise through their talent. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have to keep Dorian in the crew for so long.
Variety shows could make quick money, but they really drained an actor''s energy. They could asionally be used to promote a new project, but one couldn''t just revolve around variety shows.
L furrowed her brows. "First, we need to
in the end, everything will still
in theild up his poprity. But Prend on his ability. Just having a
pretty face won''t be enough.
"I''ve got some personal mattersing up soon." She hesitated. "I''ll probably
need about half a month off afterward.
"But I''ll arrange things with Jamie and Teddy, and Ethan will help manage everything."
Cedric probably guessed it was rted to her personal matters with Kieran, so he didn''t ask any further.
"Actually, thepany isn''t very busy right now. If you''re tired, take a break."
He had heard a little bit about recent events. L did indeed look a bit off today.
She nodded, and Cedric didn''t linger any longer.
L worked for a while in her office before heading out to check on the new recruits Cedric had mentioned.
As she walked down the hallway to the other side, she overheard a conversation.
"Have you heard? The headquarters said a girl has been visiting Mr. Morgan''s office frequently."
"Must be the new assistant, right? Who doesn''t know that Mr. Morgan isn''t fond of women?"
"Mr. Morgan doesn''t have a female assistant. It''s been years, and only Mr. Mason has been by his side. This girl looks like she''s someone important."
