Chapter 563 The Pop Star


    Cecilia was unaware that Nathaniel had known all along that she was a professionalposer abroad. He had noticed her reluctance to disclose this, so he never asked.


    Nathaniel had been rejected by her twice, which only increased his worries that she might be swept off her feet by some young hunk.


    The following day, before the break of dawn, he headed to the office and asked Mason to investigate Eric Palmer.


    Naturally, he had forgotten about his promise to take Elliot to his office.


    Mason was slip back, “Mr. Rainsworth, Eric is the pop star who just returned to the country. We’re nning to invite him to join ourpany.”


    Only then did Nathaniel remember why the name sounded so familiar


    “How’s the progress on that matter?”


    Mason replied candidly. “Eric is different from other male celebrities. For the time being, we haven’t pinpointed his preferences. He mentioned that he values his freedom and dislikes.


    ints, which is why he declined. However, I’ve already had someone look into him. We should be able to make our move based on his interests soon.”


    Nathaniel really didn’t care whether or not they could persuade him to join thepany.


    “Is he really that outstanding?”


    Mason was taken aback, then blurted out the status of Eric, “Currently, he has over fifty million fans from both genders just on one tform alone. Additionally, on an international tform, he’s close to breaking through to a hundred million fans. Though there was a degree of fabrication involved, none of the male celebrities of his age could match his poprity, even if they paid for it.”


    Nathaniel’s slender hand was gently tapping on the table.


    “How long would it take for us to reach his level if we trained one ourselves?”


    “It would take at least two to three years. But, it would be too much effort and time–consuming.” Mason was puzzled. Since when did Mr. Rainsworth have any interest in grooming a star?


    Nathaniel was particrly focused on efficiency in his work. He valued someone based on theirmercial worth, recruiting them directly if he saw fit.


    “What does he look like?” Nathaniel asked.


    “Truly exceptional. In my personal opinion, the multitude of male celebrities in our country pale inparison to him.”


    Many male celebrities in the country relied heavily on makeup. However, for someone like Eric, who was of mixed heritage, he naturally had excellent genes. Without even mentioning hist features, his physique alone was enough to outshine his peers.


    Upon hearing Mason’s description, Nathaniel felt his unease deepen.


    Calvin was one thing, but now, there’s a celebrity too?


    “The person who met with Cecilia yesterday was him,” he said slowly.


    When he heard this. Mason’s eyes widened, “Mrs. Rainsworth knows Eric?”


    He was still fretting over how to get Eric to join thepany.


    If Eric is willing to meet with Mrs. Rainsworth, then it should be quite easy to get her to negotiate with him, right?


    “Isn’t he just an entertainer? What’s the big deal about knowing one?” Nathaniel rebuked Mason.


    To him, actors were merely products. Only those with value would get a second nce from him.


    Only then did Mason understand that his boss was actually jealous. No wonder he kept asking about Eric, even though he had acted indifferent yesterday..


    -Should we still invite him to join ourpany?”


    “Of course.”


    “Alright.”


    Just as Mason was about to step out, his secretary knocked on the door. “Mr. Sanders, Mr. Rainsworth, Mr. Ernest is here.”Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Ernest was Vivian’s ex–boyfriend.


    Back then, Nathaniel sought him out to handle his divorce proceedings with Cecilia and had promised him a high–paying position.


    “Let him in,” Nathaniel replied..


    Soon, Ernest, impably dressed in a suit, walked in.


    His expression was icy as he gathered all the legal contracts rted to the acquisition of variouspanies.


    “Mr. Rainsworth, everything has been taken care of. Thosepanies won’t be causing trouble for ourpany anymore.”


    It was undeniable that Ernest was highly efficient and capable in his work.


    In order to establish a solid footing in certain industries in Tud, Nathaniel had absorbed numerous small–sizedpanies, many of which were known for causing trouble.


    Years ago, it was Ernest who was tasked with handling it.


    He had wlessly taken care of everything.
