The Director and Betty watched Logan intently, holding their breath until Logan sessfully signed his name on the contract. After he finished signing, the Director took the contract and scrutinized it for a moment, ensuring Logan’s name and signature were clearly written. Satisfied, he instructed Betty to secure the contract safely after giving Logan a copy, as if he feared Logan might have a change of heart and try to retract his signature—though once signed, Logan couldn’t legally back out anyway.
People who discover treasure are often more prone to paranoia than others; the Director feared someone might try to steal his newfound treasure if he didn’t secure it properly.
"Little girl, I had no idea you could be as adept as awyer when ites to exining a contract, huh?" Once the Director rxed, he struck up conversations with everyone, particrly focusing on Hera. He was growing fond of her for her discerning eyes and intelligence. Despite his decades of experience in the industry, he had failed to notice the rare gem standing before him, yet Hera had spotted it so easily.
"Director, I’ve only learned a few things in school, nothingpared to a true professional," Hera replied humbly.
"Oh? What course are you taking? Performing Arts?" the Director asked with curiosity.
"I’m majoring in finance and recently with an additional major in business administration," Hera exined with aposed smile.
"Oh? A beauty and brains indeed. Then why are you in the entertainment industry?" the Director asked as he sipped his tea, prompting even Logan to look at Hera with clear confusion and interest.
"I like acting, and my grandfather gave me some time to explore before I had to return home and help him with his responsibilities," Hera answered honestly. She knew that with that simple answer, they wouldn’t realize she was the Avery heiress; at most, they might assume she was from afortably well-off family.
The director chuckled at Hera’s straightforward response, appreciating herck of pretense. "Alright! I’m d for your assistance; it’s alleviated my burden. And since you’ve won the bet—or even without that, considering Logan’s talent, he’s bound for the international stage. You’ve done me a great favor. In return, how about I offer you a few slots to appear in music videos with our top artists?" His offer was generous and sincere.
Hera was pleasantly surprised by the Director’s offer, and she sweetly smiled at him. "I’ll leave it in your hands, Director. Thank you for your generosity and for looking out for me."
"And Director, if I may, I have a request to make," Hera began.
"What is it, little girl? As long as it’s within my control, I’ll dly help. And if it’s not, I’ll still do my best to assist," the Director replied warmly.
"That’s great! Actually, I need..." Hera began, listing down what she needed from the Director. The conversation stretched on for an hour as they rified details and ensured everyone was on the same page, ensuring she conveyed her thoughts thoroughly without missing a thing.
As one of the toppanies in the country, UE acted swiftly. After signing the contract, they had already prepared everything Logan might need: an artist dormitory, apany car for transportation, new sets of clothes, and other promised items outlined in the contract.
And most importantly, they needed to change Logan’s image. He appeared nerdy and timid, so Betty and Hera took him to a well-known salon frequented by top artists and socialites in the city for a makeover.
"Ah, look who’s here!" A gratingly familiar voice reached Hera’s ears just as she and the others were led to their seats by the receptionist, waiting for Logan’s stylist to arrive.
The world truly is small, Hera thought, to encounter such people unexpectedly. It seemed enemies always found a way to cross paths, making Hera roll her eyes and ignore Minerva and Alice, who stood nearby. Thankfully, Alexi wasn’t with them this time, sparing her from another potential problem.
Seeing this, Betty could tell that Hera wasn’t on good terms with a woman who was eyeing her with hostility. The second woman, though, appeared gentle and kind, attempting to prevent Minerva from causing a scene.
When Hera noticed Betty’s hesitation to leave, she reassured her, "Don’t worry about me and Logan. I’ll take care of him. He’s not just my junior at school but also in thepany now. You can take your time and attend to what you need to do. We’ll be fine here." Hera practically ushered Betty out, knowing that as Logan’s manager especially now that Logan don’t have an assistant yet, Betty had other responsibilities, including finalizing his amodation and transportation, which were already prepared but still needed registration in his name.
