Chapter 45
He thought, “This reaction isn’t right. She should have darkened her face and told those people to stop spouting nonsense, right? Or she should have gotten angry at me and asked me to clarify, right?
“Why is she reacting like this?”
The discussion over there was still going on.
“Who is that girl sitting across from Mr. Finley? Are they arguing? She looks so pretty.”
“Don’t you know her? She’s Keira, his ex-agent. I’m not sure about her current role, but she’s always around Mr. Finley. She’s a seasoned veteran on Mr. Finley’s team, having been with him since the very beginning of his career.”
