Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 398

In a twist of fate, Eli and Seth, two aspiring actors, found themselves in a lucky position. Both orphans, they had caught the attention of Kaitlyn, who was not only impressed by their good looks but also by their stellar acting skills. She wasted no time recommending them to Clara's agency.

Kaitlyn chimed in, “I just discovered them recently. Their looks are a bonus, but their acting is what really stands out.”

What puzzled everyone was how these two ended up at Kaitlyn's relatively unknown agency on their own. Her studio wasn't exactly famous, mainly managing a few second-tier talents known more for their roles than personal fame. So, the arrival of two promising actors was a surprise, but Kaitlyn kept this tidbit to herself when speaking to Clara.

Clara was immediately taken with Eli and Seth. Their contrasting styles were just what she was looking for: one could be the charming, mysterious heartthrob, while the other could nail the brooding, cool persona. With the right management, they could reach the top of the industry.

She turned to Kaitlyn and asked, “Have you seen them act?”

Kaitlyn nodded confidently, “They could easily outshine the current top stars.”

Clara's eyes lit up with excitement—it felt like she had struck gold. She grinned and said, “Kaitlyn, they're perfect. Let's plan this strategically. I'll handle the finances, and you take care of their management.”

Kaitlyn asked Eli and Seth to step out so she and Clara could talk privately.

As Eli and Seth exited, Eli’s smile disappeared, replaced by a cold look. His long hair gave him a graceful appearance, but his eyes turned chilly and intimidating.

Seth, with his short hair, smirked, “Still the actor, aren’t you?”

Eli shrugged, squinting slightly, “No other choice.”

They walked out, clearly not fond of each other.

Clara and Kaitlyn spent the next hour mapping out perfect career paths for Eli and Seth. Clara’s recent investments in some scripts were beginning to pay off, so money wasn’t an issue.

“Kaitlyn, have you done a background check on them? Any skeletons in their closet?”

It's common for past scandals to resurface once someone becomes famous, and audiences can be unforgiving.

“I checked. After their parents died, they lived secluded in the mountains, practically off the grid. The only potential issue is their lack of formal education.”
