Moses appeared sincere, and his tone carried no trace of pretense.


    But L still refused. "Sorry, I''m really busy. I can''t take on any more artists."


    He was a member of the Moore family. It was best to avoid getting involved with


    him.


    Amelia chimed in, "Exactly! She can''t take on more artists. More importantly, Magi


    Pictures has standards. You don''t even pass the background check requirement."


    Michael nodded in agreement. "Besides, she''s already managing three... no,


    counting me, four people. Even having kids doesn''t happen this fast. Just stop


    dreaming."


    L nearly choked at his words. What kind of nonsense was that?


    But Moses wasn''t discouraged. "That''s fine. Just because you won''t take me now


    doesn''t mean you won''t in the future. I have nothing else to do. Can I at least be


    an intern in your production team?"


    L declined again. "We''re not hiring any more interns."


    Moses studied her for a moment. "Will you be my manager if I can get into Magi


    Pictures?"


    "Plenty of agents at Magi Pictures are more experienced than me. Thepany


    assigns managers to artists. That''s not something I control," L said.


    Moses nodded at her calm response. "Then I won''t disturb you any further, L.


    "Don''t overthink it. The reason I sought you out is simply that I admire you. I don''t


    want Dennis to keep affecting my life. Morgan Group is the safest ce for me.


    "Sorry for the trouble today. I''ll find you again once I join Magi Pictures. See you


    around."


    He nodded, looking as if he genuinely felt apologetic.


    Once he left, Amelia noticed L staring in his direction and immediately called


    her back to reality. "L, don''t fall for it."


    L sat back down. "I won''t. I don''t believe a single word he said."


    "What makes you say that?" Amelia was curious.


    L thought for a moment. "His mother was willing to be Dennis'' mistress, which


    suggests she probably came from an ordinary background. And since Moses


    mentioned that he was bullied for being an illegitimate child, doesn''t that imply


    that Dennis didn''t really care about him or his mother?"


    "So is he here looking for protection? His whole story seems to be about how he''s


    powerless and broke, right?" Amelia hummed.


    The three of them rested their chins on their hands, deep in thought.


    Amelia nodded. "But did you see his outfit? That''s not something an average


    person can afford."


    Michael reached his conclusion. "His words and actions don''t match. He doesn''t


    seem trustworthy."


    With that, their conversation ended, and it was time to get back to work.


    Amelia swung her legs idly, watching them work with no intention of leaving.


    Since there was a night shoot, she started feeling drowsy and decided to head


    back to her ce early.


    Before leaving, she winked at L. "Don''t stay out toote. Come back and sleep


    with me."


    Her words drew curious nces from the staff nearby.


    Michael popped his head out from


    behind. "If I didn''t know you had a


    husband and she had Vince, I''d start


    suspecting something between you


    two."


    L pressed a hand to her forehead. "Enough with the nonsense. And spit out that


    lollipop right now!"


    Michael groaned. "Seriously? I


    understand I need muscles since I''m


    ying a tough guy role. But


    controlling my diet? That''s too


    much. It''s just one candy."


    L red at him. "I warned you I''ll have someone increase your training if I catch


    you snacking again!"


    Michael pointed at someone nearby. "It was Matthew who bought it for me!"


    Matthew looked up and said tly, "I didn''t."


    Michael scowled and crunched down on the candy in frustration. The loud crack


    made L''s eyes widen. "Michael!"


    The sharp tone startled him. He


    quickly fished out a tissue and spit


    the candy into it. "It''s just one piece


    of candy! Fine, I won''t eat it. But why


    are you acting like my agent being


    all bossy?"


    He turned around to find a trash can, mumbling under his breath, "How wasteful!


    None of you understand the value of frugality!"


    Meanwhile, Amelia arrived back at the hotel. Since L''s room was a suite, she


    used her spare key card to enter, nning to sleep there.


    But as soon as she opened the door, she froze. Sitting across from aptop,


    working, was Kieran.


    Kieran assumed it was L returning and stood up, But a rare look of confusion


    crossed his face when he saw Amelia.
