She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 298: Like a Soda

After receiving a scolding from Reece about the shorts, Alan wisely decided not to bring up the topic of the shorts again. Instead, he shifted to another subject.

Other artists were usually obedient and follow their agent’s instructions. But their artist, Reece, treated his agent like his server. Well, what could Alan do when Reece was just so incredibly popular? Even though he was not the most handsome guy in the entertainment industry, his temper wasn’t the best, and his acting and singing skills were just average, he had a unique charm that fascinated his fans.

Alan unfolded the information provided by the company, bending humbly as he handed it over, smiling obsequiously. “Reece, just take a look at this lady. She’s really beautiful.” Reece perked up a bit at the mention and lazily cast a glance. When he saw the person in the photo, he pursed his lips and uttered a harsh word, “Ugly.”
