Chapter 231 An Awkward Conversation
Hearing his self-introduction, Melanie sized him up once again. She didn’t know much about show business, but she had heard the names of both the company and the talent agent. Having produced a lot of big-name celebrities, Epic Media Inc. was of considerable repute in the industry.
Moreover, Chris Jonas was said to be the company’s top talent agent, with extraordinary capabilities and a good eye for new talents. Because of this, he had quite some reputation in show business as well. At the thought of this, Melanie instantly became friendly toward him. “Hi, I’m Melanie Greyson.”
While hearing Melanie’s name, Chris was inwardly startled. However, he worked in show business, after all, so he was able to feign impassivity. “Oh! Uh, hi. Nice to meet you.” So she’s Melanie Greyson, huh? he thought. As a talent agent, he was naturally aware of the rumors circulating on Twitter.
He attended the celebratory party mostly to get into contact with Vania, with whom he hoped to establish some collaboration. His company was considered to be way ahead of others in the industry, but it showed some signs of plateauing, so he desperately wanted to break through such limitations. As a result, Vania instantly caught his eye, thanks to his discerning eye as a talent agent.
However, little did he expect that as soon as he entered the conference hall, he would notice a woman in a black cutout dress staring blankly at the entrance from a corner, which drew his attention at once. Her fine appearance instantly aroused his interest in scouting new talent, so he came over and spoke to her. However, he never expected the woman to be Melanie.
In reality, Melanie was quite good-looking in appearance, but she often displayed an unsightly pettiness in front of Vania. Not only was she far less self-confident and easy-mannered than Vania, but her features weren’t as delicate as the latter’s, too. After all, although they shared a father, they were born to different mothers. Josie, Melanie’s mother, couldn’t hold a candle to Roseanne, Vania’s mother.
