Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2165

Xyla Quest could envision a huge potential in the young man to become the next big thing.

Smiling, she gently patted the seat next to her. “Have a seat.”

He sat down obediently, seeming stiff at first. After a moment of hesitation, he placed his hands on his thighs, looking like a wide-eyed deer lost in the woods.

“Don’t be nervous. We’re only having a chat,” she said softly.

“Okay," he nodded respectfully. "What would you like to chat about?”

Then, he looked terrified all of a sudden. “Are you kicking me out of the company? Am I not doing good enough?”

Xyla immediately chuckled and shook her head. “No, you’re great. I just want to talk to you as a friend.”

He instantly sighed in relief.

“Are you afraid the company might not want you?” she wondered.

“Yeah. The terms offered by this company are the best in the industry, and I like being here a lot,” he answered.

“Don’t worry, we are not making you leave. What’s your name?”

“My name is Lukas Ronaldo,” he said after sighing in relief again.

Xyla nodded, thinking that his name suited him well. “You have a nice name, Lukas. Stay in the company, heed Georgie's advice, and you’ll get the opportunities you’re looking for in the future.”

Lukas seemed pleasantly surprised. “Really?”

“Yes," she nodded. "The pre-requisite is that you mustn’t cause any trouble. Make sure you protect yourself. If you want to remain in the entertainment industry for a long time, you must be able to withstand loneliness and being alone. Most importantly, take care of your reputation to avoid negative media.

“Otherwise, once you are famous, anything bad you've done in the past can turn against you. It’ll be lethal, understand?” Xyla said with a serious expression.

These days, there were too many celebrities whose careers were destroyed by negative media after they found fame.

Some people did too many bad things before joining the industry. Their career never took off as a result of their past.

She hoped this young talent wasn’t someone like that.

She had to groom him well.

With a broad smile, Xyla patted him affectionately on his shoulder. “All right, get back to work. I’ll wander around somewhere else.”

With that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Lukas followed suit and stood up chirpily with a determined look in his eyes. “All right, goodbye, Ms. Quest. I’ll do my best. I won’t let you down.”

She smiled in approval and made a hasty exit without commenting further.

Lukas released a long sigh as he watched her leave, sinking to the ground in excitement, and gazed at his reflection in the mirror.

His boss was going to focus on helping him develop his career!

She was going to focus on him!

He was the focus!

Did that mean his dream would soon come true?

As he thought of this, Lukas promptly stood up to resume practicing his dance moves as hard as he could.
