âGoodbye, Mr.
Anderson!â Ariana smiled.
She let out a sigh of relief, eager to put some distance between herself and the overbearing man.
Her eagerness at his departure annoyed Theodore, inviting a disdainful glare in her direction.
Tyler let out a breath he didnât know he was holding, glad to see Theodore finally leaving.
He turned his gaze to Ariana, her beautiful face calming him down, and couldnât resist the urge to call out in a sweet voice, âAriana.
â
At this moment, Theodoreâs wheelchair abruptly halted, eliciting an ominous creak.
He turned to face the younger man with a cold stare, his voice laced with a warming, âDo not address her in such a familiar way.
You must be mindful of the rumors that could spread between actors and their agents.
â
Tyler was feeling uneasy, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts, but he knew better than to show any of it on his face.

Theodoreâs presence was intimidating, like a looming thunderstorm, and Tyler had no intention of attracting lightning.
Theodore had the power to make or break him, and Tylerâs career was on the line.
He couldnât afford to offend the man for now.
Tyler swallowed hard and asked with the utmost respect, âOkay, Mr.
Anderson, then what should I address her?â
Theodoreâs lips curled into a smile as he glanced at Ariana.
At that moment, he looked more like a predator toying with its prey.
Finally, Theodore spoke, his tone firm and unwavering.
âCall her Ms.
Edwards.
â
Arianaâs blood boiled as she heard the words âMs.
Edwardsâ uttered from Theodoreâs mouth.
It felt like a deliberate attempt to anger her.
How dare he? She couldnât help but feel the urge to hurl something heavy at him.
However, as a mere staff member, Ariana knew better than to openly defy the CEO.
She could only glare at him, seething with silent rage.
Theodore seemed unfazed by Arianaâs buming gaze, instead turning his attention to
Tyler.
The young man was left with no choice but to address Ariana as âMs.
Edwardsâ.
Ariana was at a loss for words.
She reluctantly conceded, silently praying that Theodore would be satisfied and leave them alone.
With a final snort of satisfaction, Theodore spun his wheelchair around and left.
The towering headquarters of the Anderson Group stood proudly adjacent to the SJ Entertainment building, connected by a magnificent Skywalk that offered a breathtaking view of the city below.
As they crossed the glass path, Horace tentatively broached a sensitive topic.
âBoss, do you think we should transfer Tyler to another agent and pair Mrs.
Anderson with a more promising female artist?â
Theodore snorted, seemingly unbothered by Tylerâs existence in Arianaâs life.
âNo need,â he replied nonchalantly, his demeanor suggesting that he didnât take Tyler seriously.
âLet Ariana train whomever she pleases.
Besides, heâs just a kid.
Donât worry.
Horace hesitated, but ultimately held his tongue.
