“Hello, Miss Cooper, I’m Judie Torres.”

Judie, the stunning figure currently dating Bobby, had been a subject of constant speculation. Her arrival immediately made Fannie uneasy. Was Judie viewing her as a rival? A hidden threat for Bobby’s attention?

But that thought seemed ridiculous to Fannie. She had no such connection to Bobby, nor did she want one.

“Hello,” Fannie replied, keeping her tone steady as she extended her hand to Judie. The boss gave Fannie a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

“Fannie, a great opportunity has come your way!” he said, his voice full of enthusiasm.

Fannie furrowed her brow in confusion. “What do you mean by that?”

Judie slowly lowered her sunglasses, her eyes locking with Fannie’s.

“Let me explain. Miss Cooper, I want you to be my agent and manage my future career in the entertainment industry.”

The room seemed to buzz with excitement at the announcement — everyone except Fannie appeared thrilled. The boss was particularly elated, clearly eager at the prospect of Judie, an established star with an ever-growing following, joining their agency. With Bobby’s influence and the vast network of industry connections she had access to, Judie’s proposal was undeniably a lucrative one.

“Miss Cooper,” Judie continued, raising an eyebrow, “judging by your expression, you don’t seem too keen on taking me on.”

Fannie gave a polite smile, masking her surprise.

“It’s not about that,” she said, her voice even. “I’m just a little startled, that’s all.”

Judie brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

“I get it. Dealing with someone of my stature can be overwhelming for most. But I trust you,” she said, her voice smooth and confident.

“It’s not about that,” Fannie interjected, her tone firm. “I just think that switching agents now, especially when your career is flourishing, could cause unnecessary turmoil. It’s hardly a prudent decision. To be blunt, whoever suggested this to you clearly didn’t think it through.”

Judie, who had been about to take a sip of water, nearly choked on it at Fannie’s bluntness. The advisor in question was Bobby, and privately, Judie had her own doubts about his judgment.

“May we have a moment alone?” Fannie asked earnestly.

With a dignified nod, Judie agreed. “Certainly.”

As they prepared for privacy, the others discreetly left the room. The boss shot Fannie a warning glance on his way out, his eyes silently reminding her not to lose such a valuable client.

Yet, Fannie knew that opportunities that appeared too good to be true often hid unforeseen risks. She disliked playing games or sugar-coating things. Once the room was empty, she spoke her mind.

“Miss Torres, I want to clarify that I have no connection with Bobby.”

Judie placed her glass down with poised grace. “That seems a bit off, doesn’t it? If I’m not mistaken, you were once engaged to Bobby. Surely, there must have been some emotions involved?”
