MainNovelChapter 185
Cedric observed Kieran carefully as they spoke, but the man's expression
remained unchanged. It seemed, as Cole claimed, that Kieran really was just passing by.
But Cedric wasn't convinced. Kieran was not the kind of person with idle tto kill.
Cole, however, was fully aware of the reason for their visit. They were here to ensure Lila was adapting to her
new environment. It was also to subtly remind Magi Pictures to take her seriously, although, realistically, the
latter wasn't much of a concern.
After all, Magi Pictures was Kieran's enterprise. While he didn't micromanage, he was undoubtedly well-informed
about its operations.
Still, Cole thought it was better to make a point. Back when Lila was with Nexus Entertainment, Kieran couldn't
intervene. Now, with her under his own roof, there was no harm in offering her more opportunities.
Cole chuckled softly to himself. Their boss truly doted on Lila-a model uncle!

He added lightly, "Didn't Magi Pictures recently sign on a new agent, Lila Hart? | heard she also brought along
two of her artists."
"How's Lila's performance so far?" Cole added, careful not to make it seem like an outright recommendation.
As expected, Kieran's eyes flashed with a hint of approval, subtle but noticeable. Cole lifted his chin slightly,
feeling rather proud as he felt that he was his boss' right-hand man.
Cedric mulled over the question briefly before replying, "Based on my observations so far, she's even more
capable than I initially thought. She managed to secure a partnership with the Joyce Group for her two
newcomers. From what | hear, it's a well-funded project and a great opportunity."
Michael, seated nearby, let out a soft hiss. "Lila Hart? Why does that nsound so familiar?"
Liam whispered, "She was Dorian's agent back in the day."
Michael's eyes widened, his voice rising slightly in astonishment. "You're tellingwe poached the agent who
helped build his career?"
Liam tugged his sleeve, reminding him to watch his tone in front of the CEO.
Michael stole a glance at the man on the couch, his expression calm and unreadable. Hastily, he fell silent,
though his shock hadn't dissipated.
As a competitor, he had always paid attention to Dorian Blake. While rivals often respected one another, Michael
didn't share that sentiment.
To him, Dorian was arrogant and lacking in empathy-a dragon slayer who had beca dragon himself. That
was the impression Dorian had left on Michael after their interactions.
Many assumed their animosity stemmed from competing for resources, but the truth was that Michael simply
couldn't stand Dorian's character.
He had followed the gossip about Dorian's love life and concluded that a fickle man like him didn't deserve love.
Lila was better off leaving him.
Michael had done a bit of research on Lila herself-a brilliant woman, no doubt. It was unfortunate she had wasted
five years of her life on someone like Dorian, sacrificing so much for him. What a shame.
Cole's voice interrupted Michael's thoughts. "Lila isn't too busy with work right now, is she? She's even trained

Cedric considered this briefly. "We'd need to confirm with her directly. She's currently handling
negotiations with Joyce Group, and I'm not sure how far along she is. Plus, our company respects individual
employees' preferences. Assigning additional tasks would require her agreement."
Cole nodded. "If she's willing, let her go. It'll be a good way to assess her abilities."
Cedric agreed but couldn't shake the feeling that Kieran and Cole's visit wasn't as casual as they claimed. Were
they really just passing by? It felt more like they'd cspecifically to promote Lila.
Considering her impressive resand recent achievements, Lila didn't need help behind the scenes.
But then again, if she were important enough for the CEO to open doors for her, why would she settle for being
just an agent? If anything, she could probably take Cedric's position as vice president.
