Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 105

Zelena's face froze in shock.

As Nolan came closer, he ignored everyone else and spoke to Waylen and Wade first.

"Hi, Mr. Carson, Mr. Howell."

Wade grinned and greeted him, then shifted his focus to Violeta, who was standing next to Nolan. He decided to ask, "Violeta, why haven't you been coming to the park for your dog strolls recently?"

What did he say?

Hattie and the others were taken aback.

Does Mr. Howell know Violeta?

The crew members seemed mostly unaffected, but Hattie and the rest were surprised.

Previously, it was Hattie who took the initiative to greet Wade.

Wade was the towering figure in the scriptwriting industry, utterly disdainful of superficial pleasantries with others.

From the outset, he seldom spoke. They even thought he disliked talking, until now, with the arrival of Nolan and Violeta, they realised that it wasn't that Wade disliked talking, he simply didn't care to talk to them!

Violeta curved her lips into a smile. "Mr. Howell, I only go to the park on weekends."

Wade pondered for a moment. "I see. Will you be going to the park this weekend, then?"

Violeta nodded. "Yes."

Wade replied, "Alright then, let's meet at the park this weekend."

Their conversation, oblivious to the presence of others, left everyone else disregarded.

Waylen watched Violeta closely, admiring her flawless beauty that radiated charisma. She had a captivating allure fit for the screen, boasting impeccable features and complexion.

"Mr. Howell, who is she?" he inquired.

Wade replied with a smile, "She's a freshman in Toland University's performing arts department. Waylen, what's your take? She has immense potential. Perhaps we could work together in the future."

Earlier, Hattie had brought up the idea of working together, but Wade had stayed quiet.

Now, he actively proposed teaming up with Violeta, signalling a clear partnership.

Hattie felt a pang of unease. When did Violeta and Wade meet?

The glowing compliments from Wade suggested a long-standing connection.

Waylen rarely heard him praise a newcomer who hadn't even entered the entertainment industry yet. It seemed Toland University's performing arts department indeed groomed talent, and the girl in front of them had a promising future.

"Indeed, she's quite remarkable. Nonetheless, not all young people can endure the hardships like wire-flying. Given her looks, she might excel more in idol dramas."
