Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 196

forget who’s running the company?”Yelena knew that, of course. If Elspeth were to stop concealing her identity, she’d be Luminous Entertainment’s president both in name and reality by now. I’m perhaps the only person who understands how it feels when my bestie becomes my superior overnight, no? She leaned over to Elspeth, giggling. “Well, if that’s what you say, I guess I won’t be standing on ceremony with you.”Knowing what her friend was up to, Elspeth curled her lips into a smile. “In that case, why don’t you come with me now?”Yelena couldn’t be any happier to comply, of course. After grooming herself a little, she went to Luminous Entertainment with Elspeth.Elspeth took her to see Timothy, who was studying a screenplay while looking madly impatient.It’s so hard to look for a suitable script for Blake! he thought to himself. He had studied the script for quite a while. Blake had the looks of a high school hunk who was more on the gentle side, but the actresses proposed for the role of the female protagonist were either plain or out of tune with the character, which was a total headache.“Timothy, what’s giving you such a headache?” Elspeth came up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. Despite her young age, she conducted herself with an air of sophistication that was beyond her years.Having nothing to hide from her, Timothy explained frankly, “I’m looking for a screenplay for Blake, but there isn’t a suitable one.”Elspeth wasn’t worried about that at all. How could Blake have trouble landing a role in film or on TV with his handsome looks? A lead male protagonist with Blake’s looks would easily win the hearts of countless girls with just a wink. “Is the problem about the lead actress?”Timothy nodded. “Yeah, the lead actresses are no good. I can’t find a lead actress that’d make a great couple with him.”Upon hearing this, Elspeth decisively dragged Yelena in front of him from behind her. “In that case, what about her?”Having kidnapped the lady last time, Timothy had to admit he was rather embarrassed at seeing Yelena right now. However, having spent a long time in the workplace, he had learned to know which side his bread was buttered on, so he soon regained his composure. “Yelena, huh… She’s not one of our company’s artists, no? Wouldn’t it be a waste of time and energy to negotiate with her agency to sign her on for the script?” Thinking from Luminous Entertainment’s perspective, he thought it wasn’t worthwhile doing so.Elspeth shook her head. “Yelena’s contract with her agency has ended already, so I’m going to sign her with Luminous Entertainment. What do you think?”A bad feeling suddenly crossed Timothy’s mind. “Don’t tell me… you want me to be her talent agent?”Elspeth snapped her fingers with a smile. “Bingo! That’s exactly what I want you to do.”Timothy immediately objected, “I already have enough headache acting as a talent agent for Blake alone, and now you want me to be Yelena’s talent agent as well? Why don’t you kill me right away instead?” He really didn’t want to manage two talents at once. If this were to go on, he’d definitely have his lifespan shortened. “I’ll double your salary.”Timothy hesitated for a moment. “But—”“Triple.”Hearing the word ‘triple,’ Timothy suddenly thought it was every employee’s duty to give their all for their company, so he shouldn’t shirk his duty. “I got it. I’ll work hard as her talent agent.” He eyed Yelena up and down; the young lady’s pretty and innocent looks were simply made for teen romance dramas. “I have eyes on a TV show that’s calling for a lead
