Hailey spoke up, her tone measured. “Carter, if Miles wants to make a career change, his first project is crucial. A romance drama wouldn’t be out of the question, but once he starts down that path, the scripts that come your way will likely all follow the same genre. You know better than anyone how hard it’ll be for him to break out of that mold later on.”

Carter nodded, clearly understanding.

That was true. With Miles‘ looks, he was practically made to be the lead in a romance drama. Who would cast him in anything else?

“So, instead of starting him off with romance dramas and trying to shift later, why not have him start with a serious role?” Hailey suggested.

Carter paused for a moment, lost in thought. He thought, ‘He had considered it as well, but…

Carter looked at Hailey with a conflicted expression and said, “Miss Dalton, you might not know this, but Miles has never acted before, so his acting skills…”

Carter thought, ‘With a serious role, his lack of acting skill would be obvious to everyone. And with Miles‘ terrible acting, he’d be torn apart by critics.

Miles immediately bristled. “Are you even still my manager? Since when does a manager complain about their client’s acting skills?”

Carter had been working with Miles for years and knew how to handle him. He shot Miles a look. “You think your acting is that great? You couldn’t even make it through a music video without pulling the audience out of the story. What else do you think you can act in?”

Miles pouted, feeling wronged. “Well, it’s not my fault. The actress was just so unattractive, I couldn’t get into it.”

“You’ve got a nerve!” The manager was fuming, his frustration practically visible.

“Alright,” Hailey said, rubbing her temples in exasperation. “Carter, you don’t need to worry about his acting. I have faith in Miles. If you’re happy with the script, we can sign, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

Hailey wasn’t overconfident. Having lived through her past life, she knew Miles had potential. With the right script and a good director, he could truly shine.
