By some twist of fate, Rosalynn's grandfather had once saved Debora. When she expressed her desire to repay him for the favor, he had boldly requested her grandson to marry his granddaughter in hopes of giving. her a comfortable and carefree life. At first, Rosalynn had harbored some hope for her marriage. But over the last couple of years, Brian had constantly seen dating various actresses. It was more than enough to disappoint her and shatter. her naive illusions. Rosalynn pursed her lips as she finished reading the article, then she. went over to her contact list, searched for Brian's number, and called him. This was the first time she had ever called Brian. Soon, the call connected. "Hello, this is Rosalynn. "Rosalynn? Which Rosalynn?". Brian's voice was deep and smooth. Although his tone was unmistakably cold, listening to him was quite a pleasant experience. His words, however, were another matter entirely. Rosalynn sneered and clenched her fingers tightly around her phone. He didn't even remember his own wife's name. "This is your wife. At least on paper, anyway. "Ah. What do you want?". Brian's tone became even colder. "I want a divorce," Rosalynn answered as she jabbed her glasses against. her face. A moment of silence ensued. "Have you made up your mind?" Brian finally asked. "Of course. assignment. Don't you think that's unfair? Why are you doing this to me? Do you harbor a grudge against me? Or did someone else put you up to this?". The someone else Ariana had in mind now was Jasper. Her words struck a nerve. Donna explained awkwardly, "No. It's not like that

The company is currently understaffed. There's no one free to put you through the agent job. Since you don't know the hang of it, you can't handle any of the artists. I only assigned you to the warehouse so you won't be idle. Managing talents is not child's play. After all, the company bet a lot of money on each of the artists. "What exactly are you driving at?" Ariana glanced at her coldly. "Ermm. " Donna seemed to be in a dilemma. She looked at Ariana, then at Horace. At last, she snapped her fingers. "Eureka! I have an idea. A sinister feeling tugged at Ariana's heart. She felt that this sly woman was up to something again. With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Donna said softly, "Since you are keen on managing one of the artists, I'll summon the latest signees and ask if any of them wants you to be their agent. What do you say?" Ariana agreed. "This way please," Donna uttered, leading her into a practice room. SJ Entertainment always signed young talents every season. These talents had to be trained and examined for a long time. Only a few would be able to make their debut. The trainees were a lot. Once they were summoned into the practice room, half of the space was occupied. Donna didn't beat about the bush. "Hello, guys! This is Ariana Edwards, a new agent. I summoned you all here today because Ariana is looking to. manage her first act. Although she's inexperienced, she graduated from. a famous university. She's enthusiastic and energetic. Anyone who agrees to work with her might have a shot at debuting soon. But if you can wait for another two days, the other experienced agents will be free to work with some of you. The ball is in your court. The trainees began to whisper among themselves. This was the first time they were given the free hand to choose an agent

The company normally assigned agents to them, not the other way around. It seemed like a good opportunity, but no one wanted to risk their budding careers by choosing Ariana. They didn't have faith in an agent who had never handled a talent before. All of them wanted the best agent. They were only one step away from their success, so they didn't want anything to mar their chances. With the right agent, an artist's career could kick off fast and shoot to the peak in no time. But a bad agent could slow down or even mess up an artist's journey in any industry. It was too big of a risk to trust an inexperienced agent for something so important. Some trainees shook their heads and looked away, declaring their stance. The room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Donna gave Ariana a complacent look. She had expected this. Ariana wanted to manage an artist? Not on her watch! ». Ariana was sad and amused at the same time. Honestly speaking, she wasn't the best choice for these people. But how was that her fault? It was required that she underwent training immediately after she was employed, so she would get the hang of the job. Not only did Donna prevent her from getting trained, but she also set. her up by allowing the artists to choose whether they wanted her or not. It was no less than a torment. "See? It's not that I don't want you to work as an agent. The truth is, my hands are tied. I can't force anyone to choose you. " Donna added hypocritically, "How about this? Everyone here is signed under SJ Entertainment. So, they have no choice but to follow the company's arrangement. You can pick any of them. Ariana pursed her lips and looked around the crowd. They all avoided her eyes for fear of getting picked. Donna had made a smart move. She knew that even if Ariana ended up picking an artist today, she would have a hard time because that person would loathe her. It would be a bad start for her. Ariana was stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. It was. obvious that Donna set her up just because she was desperate to work
