L was somewhat puzzled as she followed along to see the surprise Cole had mentioned.
She and Kieran sat in the back seat, and her peripheral vision caught sight of a stack of documents beside her.
Noticing that Kieran was about to reach for them, she raised her hand to stop him. "It''s bad for your eyes. Why don''t you rest for a bit?"
Cole nced at the rearview mirror, knowing Kieran probably wouldn''t listen. After all, they had left early today, and the documents were quite urgent.
Kieran had spent the entire ride from the Morgan Group building to Magi Pictures Headquarters reading.
Some of the files were needed first thing tomorrow. If he didn''t look at them now, he''d have to stay upte to catch up.
Just as Cole was about to speak up in Kieran''s defense, Kieran said, "Alright, I''ll look at them when we get home."
Cole muttered, "I guess I''m unnecessary."
However, it created an awkward atmosphere, leaving everyone staring at each other. Cole thought to himself that his moment had finallye.
"Ms. Hart, that young man from yourpany, was he one of your new signed artists?"
He thought Kieran would be interested in this topic, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he was puzzled.
Was he really that invested in them falling in love and getting married? But Kieran had clearly...
Cole hissed softly. Something didn''t feel right.
With the conversation already underway, L didn''t think too much about it and continued.
"I met him yesterday. I thought he had impressive looks, so I handed him a business card to give it a try. If he turns out to be a good prospect, I might focus on nurturing him."
Cole wasn''t sure whether this conversation was relevant, but since they had started, he couldn''t back out now without making L feel awkward.
"Do you really like him?"
The man in the back seat slightly raised his eyes. His gaze was calm, but the currents were stirring beneath the surface.
He appeared to be looking ahead, but in reality, his peripheral vision was entirely on L, not wanting to miss even the slightest shift in her expression.
L thought for a moment.
Earlier, the higher-ups at Nexus Entertainment had suggested she develop new talent and had even given her a list of candidates to choose from.
She had looked through the list but hadn''t found anyone she liked.
Later, thepany pushed Jamie and Teddy on her, but they had proven themselves capable.
When they arrived at Magi Pictures,
Cedric had brought it up twice,
suggesting she take on another
person, but she had been too busy
and turned him down.
Thinking about it, this bartender was the first talent she approached in five or six years.
So, did she like him?
L''s gaze shifted slightly. "I do like him."
As her words fell, Kieran''s deep gaze darkened even further. His usually cold
voice carried a faint chill this time.
"Is that so? Then he must be quite impressive."
L''s mind was wandering, so she
didn''t notice Kieran''s moot
shift. But
Cole, who had been with him
many years, immediately sensed something was off.
Why was Kieran suddenly unhappy?
Not daring to continue with the topic, Cole quickly changed the subject.
"Ms. Hart, do you know where we''re going?"
In truth, the question had be somewhat redundant.
At that point, the car had already arrived near Vermilion Estate, not far from Evergreen Heights.
If the residents around Evergreen Heights were wealthy or noble, Vermilion Estate was even more exclusive.
Here, it wasn''t just a simple vi but
scattered courtyards designed like
ancient
gardens, with every detail
carefully arranged by an expert in
positive energy.
A tranquil ce amidst the bustle, exuding a unique charm.
Standing outside the garden, L looked up at the que which said "Vermilion Estate" and then nced at the newly recednterns beside it.
They had a vintage style, with a red base that gave them a festive, joyful look.
