Chapter 325
Upon hearing about Alice’s new agent, not only Alice, but the others also calmed down and turned their focused gazes towards Josh.
“Alice’s agent is confirmed. Why I, as her boss, didn’t even know?” William was completely confused.
“Because the agent was connected by me and Ray. I knew you guys wouldn’t be reliable.” Josh responded with a disdainful expression.
Actually, It wasn’t that they were unreliable. It was just that when William was selecting an agent for Alice, Daniel had been interfering all along.
When he wanted to choose a male agent, Daniel was worried that the person would be too handsome and attract Alice’s attention.
When they finally settled on someone less attractive, Daniel said he was afraid the person might scare his wife away.
Alice hadn’t even had a chance to meet the person before they were let go.
Finally, when Ray recommended a woman, Daniel thought of those people under Alva and commented that women weren’t safe either.
Ray was exasperated and chose someone without further ado.
Now Alice was especially curious, so she quickly asked Josh, “Come on, tell me, who is it?”
Josh felt a chill down his spine. He turned around to see Daniel giving him a sinister look.
As expected, what Ray had said was right.
If this jealous guy knew that they had arranged Alice’s matters by themselves, they would definitely be on the receiving end of some daggers through their eyes.
However, if they had to wait for Daniel’s approval before making decisions, it would take at least a year.
Wouldn’t Alice’s career be ruined by then?
“Alice, do you know about Alan Wright?” Josh looked at Alice.
Upon hearing this, Alice was stunned for a moment. “Alan, King of Entertainment? The top-notch agent who has rested for three years and used to be good friends with Ray in the entertainment industry?”
“No, didn’t Alan say before that he wouldn’t manage artists anymore? He even mentioned not representing female artists.”
Josh raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Well, it’s not about whether he agrees or not when Ray takes action, right?”
And they had thought about it. Given Alice’s temperament, only an experienced agent like Alan can handle her.
“Alan is married,” Daniel said, appearing nonchalant as if he wasn’t jealous at all.
Alice blinked, recalling the news that she had seen before. She was somewhat surprised, “Alan is actually married? Is he with a man?”
Alan used to have a good reputation in the industry, but the only question was about his relationships. It seemed that he leaned more toward men.
Therefore, Alice naturally thought that he was married to a man.
“How could that be? He’s known as the ‘King of Entertainment’. Of course, he married a woman,” Josh hurriedly explained.
Alice nodded. “Then did he retire to be with his wife? I didn’t expect him to be so loyal and responsible,”
Many artists and agents who have been in the entertainment industry for a long time find it hard to leave the glamour behind and return to a simple life.
That’s why Alice found Alan’s decision quite surprising.
Seeing his wife praise another man for being loyal and responsible, Daniel’s expression darkened slightly.
“He’s not the only one with a sense of responsibility,” Daniel said.
Alice curled her lips, detecting a hint of jealousy in Daniel’s voice. Surprisingly, it lifted her spirits.
“But don’t get too excited. Alan said he wants to meet you in person for an interview. If you meet his criteria, he’ll take you on immediately,” Josh added.
This time, Daniel had a reason to flare up. He coldly snorted. “Would my wife not meet his standards?”
“Daniel, you know about Alan. He’s not that easy to convince. Anyway, if he thinks that Alice is suitable, then it is a win for us,” Josh looked at Daniel with helplessness in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Alice observed the conversation between the two of them and rubbed her chin curiously.
Judging from Josh’s words, Daniel seemed to be quite familiar with Alan.
She never expected that someone like Daniel would be friends with the legendary Alan.
Why didn’t they consider Alan when they were helping her choose an agent?
Could it be that…
Detecting Alice’s gaze which seemed to be sizing him up for a potential partner, Josh struggled to hold back his laughter, feeling sympathetic towards Daniel.
Constantly doubted by Alice regarding his abilities, probably only Daniel had to endure that.
But he deserved it. After all, he had brought it upon himself with his previous actions.
Late at night, Alice fell asleep on the bed with the kids.
Initially, she had just wanted to tell them bedtime stories, but she ended up falling asleep herself while listening to the kids.
The kids had just fallen asleep when the door of the room gently being pushed open from the outside.
Daniel quietly approached the bed and placed a kiss on Alice’s forehead. Then, he turned around and was about to leave.
However, he couldn’t help but turn around and kiss her forehead again.
Alice remained sound asleep throughout.
His gaze darkened slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he lifted the blanket, gently moving Benny’s hand to make the three little boys shift aside.
Then, he picked up Alice and prepared to leave.
Now, the three little ones who were awakened by his movements sat up on the bed, looking discontented.
They crossed their arms and looked at Daniel angrily as if they had encountered a thief.
Daniel raised an eyebrow, and with an expressionless face, said just two words, “Little sister.”
The three little ones simultaneously furrowed their brows. They took a deep breath, then another deep breath.
Finally, they grunted a couple of times, pulled the covers over themselves, and lay down on the bed.
Fine, for the sake of their little sister, they would endure it.
Once they had a little sister, they could then expose their dad for his actions. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Early the next morning, Alice woke up to find herself in a warm embrace.
The chilly aura emanating from the man’s body made her instantly alert.
She stared at the handsome face that was inches away from her. “Daniel, wake up…
”
Daniel had actually been awake for a while, but he was reluctant to let go of Alice, intending to enjoy holding her for a little while longer.
He had planned to wake up before she did but ended up hugging her until she woke up.
Though he was awake, he didn’t open his eyes, his mind busy contemplating how to explain.
“Daniel? Daniel?” Alice patted his shoulder.
It was not that she could not get up directly, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her waist.
If she tried to get up, she would have to break his arm.
“You’re awake?” Daniel slowly lifted his eyelids. His husky voice in the early morning was particularly alluring.
Hearing this, Alice’s heart could not help but beat wildly.
“Yeah. How did I end up in your…” Alice had already realized that she was in Daniel’s room.
She clearly knew that she had spent the last night with the kids in their room, so how did she end up in Daniel’s room?
Daniel let out a long sigh, seemingly a bit embarrassed. “You don’t remember what happened last night?”
“Should I remember something?” As far as she remembered, the last thing that happened was being lulled to sleep by the little ones.
Last night, you opened the door of my room… Daniel trailed off.
Alice coughed repeatedly, trying to clear her throat. “This can’t be possible! I wouldn’t do such a thing!”
