Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 183

Felicia immediately tensed up, glaring at the approaching woman as if she were a sworn enemy. I couldn't help but find it amusing.

Was she really that insecure? Did she think I was so unreliable that any random woman could just waltz in and steal me away?

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 name is 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. Our 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.

I, on the other hand, had some experience 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 with me despite 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 some thought, I 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 I ask what your relationship with this lovely young lady is?"
