Chapter 369
After Christian left, Pearl texted Esther to open the door.
“What’s going on? How did he find this place?”
As soon as Pearl entered the house, Esther rushed into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably. “I don’t know.
I think someone told
him.”
Pearl comforted her, patting her back gently. “You’re safe now. I also need to talk to you about
something I forgot to mention during the birthday party.”
Esther wiped away her tears and looked curious. “What is it?”
“It’s about you joining Brilliance after your contract ends.”
Esther’s eyes lit up with surprise and disbelief. “Really? Can I really join Brilliance?”
“Did you forget who owns Brilliance?” Pearl knocked on her head gently.
“I won’t say no then.” Esther bumped her shoulder against Pearl’s, fully aware that the latter’s recent
revelation meant she was now the president of Brilliance. Only she would know how it feels to have a
best friend suddenly turn into her boss.
Pearl knew what she was thinking and smiled. “Come with me now.”
“Sure!” Esther eagerly agreed, tidied herself up, and accompanied Pearl to Brilliance.
Upon arriving at Pearl’s office, they found Clem, who appeared frazzled while reading a script.
“What’s troubling you, Clem?” Pearl approached him with a warm smile and patted his shoulder.
Despite her young age, her demeanor exuded maturity.
Clem didn’t feel the need to hide anything from her and confessed, “I’m searching for a script for
Hanzel, but I can’t find anything suitable.”
Finding a role that matched Hanzel’s image was no easy task. Despite his gentle appearance, all the
actresses they had considered so far either didn’t fit the role or didn’t possess the required aesthetics.
“Is it because of the lead actress?” Pearl accurately guessed. A male lead with Hanzel’s looks would be
able to steal countless hearts with just a wink. There was no way he couldn’t get a role unless there
wasn’t a good partner for him.
Clem nodded. “Yes, none of the female leads would work. I can’t find an actress who could be a good
match for him.”
Pearl dragged Esther, who had been standing behind her. “What about her?”
Clem felt a bit awkward, given that he had kidnapped Esther earlier, but he quickly composed himself.
“Esther? But she’s not from our company, is she? It might be troublesome to negotiate with her current
agency for her release.” From Brilliance’s perspective, this approach wasn’t ideal.
“Esther’s contract with her previous agency has already ended, and I’m planning to sign her withnovelbin
Brilliance. What do you think?” Pearl shook her head.
Clem had a sinking feeling “Are you suggesting that I should manage her too?”
Pearl grinned and snapped her fingers. “Bingo!”
Clem groaned, clearly not thrilled at the prospect of managing two talents. “Managing Hanzel alone is
giving me a headache. If I have to handle Esther as well, you might as well put me out of my misery
now.”
Pearl, undeterred, offered an enticing incentive. “I’ll double your salary.”
Clem hesitated but was still not entirely convinced. “But-”
“Triple ”
