The Betrayed Heiress's Second Comeback-Chapter 61: Ch : Found Someone Good

’What do we do now? It seems as if my golden ticket is way too suspicious of us to hear me out. What should I do to calm him down?’

I forced myself to stand still instead of fidgeting, knowing any sudden move would spook him more. Confronting people like this was not my speciality.

My palms felt oddly warm, a sign of nerves I tried to hide by folding my hands behind my back.

It might come across as a little vain of me, but people usually did not question me like this when I offered them an earnest deal. My name and title were usually more than enough to help me out.

I exchanged a helpless look with Jason before Jason sighed and decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Mister, my boss already told you she is not a suspicious person. If you still do not believe me, here, you can have my business card. We work for Damian Black and represent NYC Entertainment. And we have a job offer for you."

The scared man had been unwilling to listen to me, but when Jason grabbed his shoulder and forced him to listen, the man had no choice but to agree to take a look.

The man flinched at Jason’s touch, but at least he finally stopped trying to back away.

He grabbed the card and looked it up and down before he finally relaxed a little.

"So, you are here to recruit me?"

The young adult asked and I nodded.

"Yes. As I told you already, you have a face that we can use. If you are still interested in trying acting out, please contact NYC Entertainment. We won’t bother you anymore."

I told the man before I straightened myself and walked away. I felt a handsome man’s eyes on me all the way until I got into the car and drove away.

I shut the door quickly, heart racing a little from the tension of the encounter.

"Madam, maybe it would be for the best if we don’t tell our boss about what happened here today."

Jason told me with a nervous voice. He even avoided looking into my eyes when he gave me his advice.

He kept his hands glued to the steering wheel, tapping his thumb anxiously.

But I saw no reason for me to hide such good news from Damian. After all, the expansion into the business side of things was something that we both were looking forward to.

I leaned back in my seat, already picturing how proud Damian would be.

We reached home and when I reached the living room, Damian was waiting inside for us to come back. He had his laptop open, but as soon as he saw us enter, he quickly shot Jason a look.

Jason froze mid–step like he had been caught sneaking cookies out of a jar.

"I will take my leave now, boss. I suddenly recall that I...have some work to do. I will give you my report later."

Jason quickly left me alone with Damian. I had a feeling that the ’sudden work’ Jason had was an excuse to run away and not face his boss right now.

The sound of his hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway.

’Am I in trouble? Surely not...’

"Is something wrong?"

I asked Damian as I noticed his intense look. He blinked a few times to calm himself down before shaking his head.

His jaw loosened slightly, but the tension didn’t disappear fully.

"I am fine. Nothing is wrong. For now, how about you tell me how your day went? Were you able to find what you were looking for?"

Damian asked and I immediately reported to him about my day.

"It was a successful venture. Not only did I find a lot of talents we can use, but I found a real hidden gem in making. Here, take a look at this...."

I showed Damian the social media post I had found of the young adult whom we had scouted. Jason had found it for me by some reverse image search...I did not want to know when he took an actual image.

The more important piece of information was that I now had a social media account to show Damian my golden find.

"Look. Isn’t he handsome? I have a feeling that he would be able to go very far once he’s trained. What do you think?"

Damian had...a sudden frown on his face as he took a look at my phone.

His fingers tightened around the edge of the device for a moment.

"So, this is the kid you found? He looks...delicate. Are you sure he would be able to take all the pressure of the industry?"

Damian’s concerns were valid and it made my mood go down as well. It was...something I had not thought about.

My excitement deflated almost instantly.

"You are right. I got so excited to have a usable talent that I forgot all about his future mental health and such. Do you think I should reject him if he takes the offer? But surely that won’t be the right thing to do..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

I was rambling now and the more I rambled, the more hesitant I felt about everything.

Damian’s expression became even more pinched as he saw me speaking until he finally sighed and reached out and flicked my forehead.

The light tap snapped me out of my spiraling thoughts.

"Jenna, take a deep breath and calm down. You are thinking too much at the moment. I am sure everything will be fine. Why don’t you hand over this case to me? I will make sure your ’golden ticket’ is not torn apart before you can make use of him."

Damian asked and I felt a wave of gratitude toward him.

Warmth spread through my chest at his steady tone.

"You...will do that for me? But aren’t you too busy already? Are you sure that will be fine?"

I asked in an almost hesitant voice, only for Damian to cup my face and make me look at him.

His thumbs brushed lightly across my cheeks, grounding me.

"Jenna, we are in this together. For now, why don’t you let me handle everything. And also, keep your schedule open for tomorrow. I would like to take you...for public appearance’s sake. It has been some time since we were seen together."

Damian was right and his worry made me calm down more.

A spark of curiosity and anticipation fluttered in my stomach.

"You are right. I will be ready tomorrow morning. And I will also leave Vivi in your hand. I am sure he will be much more comfortable with you as well compared to me."

I told Damian and he relaxed.

Now that this issue had resolved itself, I suddenly felt a little excited. Where did Damian want to take me tomorrow? And what were we going to do?

My mind was already racing through outfit options and possibilities for the day ahead.
