Chapter 232
“Oh, I almost forgot. Rick wanted you to be the vice president of the company. Of course, you’ll get too busy to be my agent.” Laughing at himself, Hanzel sighed. “It’s okay. I’m sure the president of Brilliance Entertainment will get me a new agent.”
Pearl felt a bit awkward but knew he was right. As the president, she really should get him a new agent.
“Do you happen to know someone named Clem, Hanzel?” Pearl suddenly remembered that Clem had asked for her assistance in introducing a celebrity. Apparently, he needed a star to manage, as he had been working at Brilliance Entertainment for a few days and was feeling restless.
Hanzel pondered for a moment and then recalled knowing Clem. He had heard that Clem was highly talented but not yet famous because his talents had gone unrecognized. Clem had previously worked as an agent for a female star but had resigned for some undisclosed reason.
Hanzel wondered if Clem had joined Brilliance Entertainment. “Ugh… Are you suggesting that he becomes my agent?”
Grinning, Pearl snapped her fingers. “Bingo!”
“But I’ve heard that he has great taste and standards, and he only manages stars with exceptional talent. He won’t take on just any ordinary star.”
Hanzel was unsure if Clem would accept him, as he had heard that Clem preferred to work with highly talented stars. Clem was known for his ability to handle even the most arrogant and difficult celebrities, but he wouldn’t represent ordinary talents with no potential.
“Ordinary star? Are you doubting your own worth?” Pearl lazily glanced at Hanzel. “You seem to have forgotten that you were once nominated for best actor, and your fan base is growing rapidly. You might not have reached the top tier yet, but you’re far from ordinary. If Clem becomes your agent, I’m confident you’ll ascend to the A-list in no time.”
“Alright, thank you, Pearl.”
Pearl chuckled. “No need to thank me. It’s not a big deal.” If Clem found out that his first assignment upon starting work would be with Hanzel, he would be thrilled.
Hanzel, however, felt genuinely grateful. “It means a lot to me. You’ve given me the opportunity to be a part of Brilliance Entertainment and provided me with such an excellent agent. I should express my gratitude properly.”
However, a moment of realization dawned on him, prompting him to ask, “How are you able to do this, Pearl? Are you the president of Brilliance Entertainment?”
Taken aback, Pearl responded defensively, “What kind of nonsense is that? How could that even be true? What president doesn’t work at their own company?” A wave of embarrassment then overtook her, as she realized her own lack of responsibility, having left Wayne to manage everything.
“Okay then.” With his doubts dispelled, Hanzel nodded in agreement.
Hanzel, feeling sleepy, decided to call it a night and headed back to his room. Meanwhile, Pearl found herself filled with energy, the evening’s conversation stirring up emotions within her.
“Oh, Richard. I just can’t figure you out,” she murmured to herself.
Nearby, Richard overheard her words. “Ask me if you’re confused. Why are you keeping your distance from me?” His tone remained composed, but one could tell he was slightly unhappy.
Pearl hurriedly responded with a smile, “No, I’m not keeping my distance.”
“Why didn’t you agree to the engagement then?”
Richard’s question and grave tone caught Pearl off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless.
