Chapter 183
Felicia immediately tensed up, glaring at the approaching woman as if she were a sworn enemy. | couldn't help
but find it amusing.
Was she really that insecure? Did she think | was so unreliable that any random woman could just waltz in and
stealaway?
The woman reached our table and smiled warmly. "It looks like you've already noticed me, so I'll cut to the chase
and introduce myself. My nis Hailey Foster. I'm a talent scout for an entertainment agency. Our company is
currently looking to recruit beautiful and talented young women to form a girl group for public promotions. Would
you be interested?"
As she spoke, her gaze landed squarely on Felicia.
Felicia blinked in surprise. "A girl group?"
"That's right! You know how every country seems to have these hugely popular girl groups, right? But here,
we've never had one that really sticks around. Even when we do, they quickly disband to pursue acting careers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOur company is different. We're committed to creating a singing and dancing girl group with no acting involved."
Felicia looked completely intrigued. This was clearly something she had never encountered before, and her
puzzled expression soon turned into a pleading look in my direction as if asking for guidance.
1, on the other hand, had sexperience in this area.
Back when my family's orchard was looking for promotional help, we had hired one of the most popular girl
groups in the country as brand ambassadors. Unfortunately, the experience left a bad impression. The group was
notoriously difficult to work with, and two of the women even tried to flirt withdespite my being only 17 at
the time.
Felicia was so pure-too pure for an environment like that. Joining such a group and being exposed to that kind of
work could easily lead her astray.
After sthought, | shook my head and replied firmly, "Sorry, but we're not interested. You should look for
someone else."
Hailey, however, wasn't ready to give up. "Sir, may | ask what your relationship with this lovely young lady is?"
Annoyed, | answered, "I'm her boyfriend."
"Well, you're just her boyfriend, not her father. Do you really have the right to make decisions for her?
What? Who talks like that?
| was about to respond when she cutoff again. "Miss, if you sign with our company, you'll earn a base salary
of at least ten thousand
dollars a month. If you're selene ned
for the group, your monthly inccould reach hundreds of
thousands-or even more. Plus, we'll provide free training with modeling coaches and dance instructors. You won't
have to spend a single cent. Isn't that worth considering?"
"Hundreds of thousands a month..." Felicia's eyes lit up instantly. "Really? But what if | don't make that much?"
Hailey smiled, sensing she had hit Felicia's weak point-money. When someone's weakness was exposed, it
beca lot easier to sway them.
"As long as you cwithfor an interview today and pass, we can sign the contract immediately. The
contract will guarantee you a base salary of ten thousand per month, and all you need to do is commit to five

the
difference. I'm even willing to sign a separate agreement with you about this."
This woman... She was good at her job. And everything she said was true.
Given the current state of the entertainment industry, if someone managed to debut, even just doing constant
promotional gigs could easily bring in tens of thousands a month.
The real problem lay in the darker side of the business. Companies often pressured their female artists into
attending private dinners or entertaining wealthy clients under the guise of networking. And frankly, this was
almost guaranteed to happen.
That's why I didn't want Felicia involved.
But Felicia was clearly tempted. "Really? Then I'd like to go!"
