My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 172: That Was Way Too Fast
A chilling breeze swept around the man.
Melody Thorne went to the little riverbank where the incident happened that day, with Jean Gage. She asked Jean to take a few photos of her, then she burned some joss paper and left.
Bar.
When she went in, Nina King was already there waiting for her, her eyes brightened upon seeing her.
"Miss Thorne, you’re here," Nina hurriedly stood up, exaggeratedly wiped the chair for her, and let her sit down.
"What brought you around this time, Agent King?" Melody Thorne sat down. "I’m covered in scandal now, even carrying a death on my back. Aren’t you afraid of being seen with me?"
"Which artist doesn’t have a few scandals?" Nina evaluated the woman in front of her. In these days, she realized she hadn’t misjudged Melody Thorne. If it were any other artist, they would be panicking, but Melody Thorne was a woman of means, remaining calm and collected.
She could tell that Melody Thorne was about to make a move and start a counterattack.
Melody Thorne let out a chuckle, lowered her head, and said nothing.
Nina couldn’t sit still, "Miss Thorne, it’s tough for a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Have you considered finding an agent who knows the ins and outs of the industry? You know, if you have a veteran leading you, it will only take a few years to become a sensation."
A few years? She couldn’t wait that long.
"Aren’t I already famous?" Melody Thorne took a sip of her drink. Her photos were all over the headlines.
What should’ve passed in a few days was prolonged because The Adler Family paid to hire online trolls, keeping Ivy’s incident in the limelight.
Nina was speechless.
"Oh, I opened a Weibo account too," Melody Thorne took out her phone, though she hadn’t logged in for days since the incident. Today she finally logged in.
Nina immediately leaned over to look. Melody Thorne’s followers had skyrocketed overnight, now at four or five million. Although they were mostly hate followers, the sheer number was intimidating. If things could turn around, Melody’s current attention was extremely high.
Her start was already a winning one.
"Miss Thorne," Nina sipped her drink, "although you’re famous now, without a professional to manage and advise you, having just fans isn’t enough. With someone supporting you, you could certainly soar faster."
"I do feel I need someone to guide me," Melody Thorne responded, playing along.
"Yes, yes, actually I knew a lot of people in the entertainment circle before, including many resources like endorsements. If Miss Thorne lets me stay by your side, I guarantee you’ll have plenty of resources quickly," Nina eagerly said.
"How long?"
"At least half a year."
Melody Thorne took a sip of her drink, "Half a year is too long, two months."
"Your ambition is strong," Nina looked at her as if seeing an alien.
"I’ll give you the position of my agent," Melody Thorne took out a contract, "Take it and have a look, if everything’s fine, sign it."
"Additionally," Melody Thorne took out someone’s details, "Keep an eye on this person for me in the coming days."
"Oh," Nina responded.
Melody Thorne left the bar.
"Skyler Ayers?" Nina held the photo, "This guy has a ton of scandals, better keep your distance."
Then she opened the contract, took a glance, and spat out her drink.
Melody Thorne owned a studio, just registered.
That was fast!
"Melody Thorne, look, isn’t that Melody Thorne?" Outside the bar, a few women about to enter called out, looking at Melody Thorne’s departing figure.
