As the second-largest shareholder of Serenity Films, Avery certainly had an eye for spotting talent with potential.
Marianne flashed a mischievous grin and teased with a playful tone, "Avery, fancy signing me up?"
Avery's thick brows lifted slightly, and he smiled, "If you're interested, come talk to me."
Marianne crossed her arms and propped her chin on her hands, "Right now, I'm just looking to be your makeup artist. If Kiri decides to come back from maternity leave and you don't need me anymore, then I might consider a career change."
Avery chuckled, "Deal."
Leah stood to the side, silently nibbling on her nails.
Every time she did that, Avery would stop her, but now he seemed not to notice at all, his attention entirely on Marianne.
She could only be silent.
After dropping Marianne off at her apartment, Avery drove Leah home, completely oblivious to her mood.
Feeling blue, Leah got home and shot a WhatsApp message to Aurelia.
[Hey Aurelia, remember Beverley's classmate, Marianne? She's joined Serenity Films as Avery's makeup artist.]
Aurelia was busy tucking Kane into bed and telling him a bedtime story. Once he was asleep, she covered him with a blanket, stepped out, and replied to Leah's message.
[Is she there for Avery?]
[I don't know. Avery seems to like her, even thinking about signing her as a singer.]
Aurelia chuckled to herself, guessing her thoughts.
[Avery's just looking out for Serenity Films as a major shareholder. He's naturally hoping to sign a few promising new faces.]
Leah couldn't settle down, her mind all over the place.
[Aurelia, she was Beverley's classmate. Can you dig up some background info on her for me? I don't want someone with ulterior motives hanging around Avery.]
