Ashley glanced at it and noticed it was a card with the name Royal Entertainment on it.

sign with Royal Entertainment?”

Ashley paused for a few seconds, pressed her lips together, and asked, “Do you think I am capable of it?”

“Of course you are,” Valentin answered without hesitation, “If not you, then who else?”

Ashley blinked, pondering, ‘Doesn’t that sound like something a die–hard fan would say?”

Joseph couldn’t help but ask, “Ashley, why do you ask such a question? With your looks and talent, you’re perfect! Didn’t an agent just call you, wanting to sign you?”
