"Orion," the woman called out, waving without a hint of concern about being seen. She did not look like a kidnapper.
Since the parents had not arrived yet, Orion could not leave the school grounds. The woman handed him a small packet of snacks through the fence.
Seeing this, Nina quickly walked over and stopped him. "Orion, what did Mom always teach you? Did you forget?" "I didn't forget, Mom. She's Aunt Lulu. Skids said she used to teach dance here," Orion answered honestly, implying that he thought she was not a stranger since she had worked at the school before. However, Orion had only started attending this term, so he did not know her at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNina wanted to remind her son about talking to strangers, but the woman extended her hand and introduced herself. "Hello Orion's mom, I'm Lulu Jacobs. I used to teach dance here, but now I work at an entertainment agency. Here's my business card." The card clearly showed she was an agent, Lulu Jacobs at YJ Entertainment. Nina remained cautious. She handed the card back politely and asked, "Oh, an agent? I heard you were here yesterday as well. May I ask why you're interested in Orion?" "To be honest, I was planning to visit you at hif I didn't catch you here today. I think Orion has star potential, and I'd like to introduce him to the entertainment industry. What do you think?" Lulu was upfront, showing no signs of deceit. Nina observed her closely. People often exhibit subtle tells when lying, but Lulu showed none. "Well, that depends on what Orion wants," Nina replied.
She didn't outright refuse, but she wasn't ready to agree either. Her child didn't need money, so entering the entertainment industry wasn't a necessity.
Lulu crouched down to Orion's level and explained what working in the entertainment industry would involve. Then she asked, "Orion, would you like to do those fun things I just mentioned?" "Would Grandpa be able to see me?" Orion hadn't seen Pharaoh in a while and missed him.
Lulu chuckled. "Of course! And once you're famous, lots of people will know you. You'll be able to do so much more of what you want." "Mom, I want to join the entertainment industry!" Orion said eagerly, looking up at her with excitement.
Nina smiled awkwardly. "Well, this is a big decision that will affect Orion's future. I'll need to discuss it with my husband first. How about that?" "Oh, of course! Here's my card. Keep it. Once you've made a decision, givea call, I be drafting a child star e plan tonight, and we can sign the contract as early as tomorrow." Lulu seemed a bit rushed, which made Nina even more suspicious. But for now, she agreed to consider it.
Later at home, Nina told Nash about the situation Nash immediately had someone investigate Lulu's background and confirmed she was indeed an agent. Although not particularly famous, she had a decent reputation.
"What do you think? Should we agree?" Nina whispered, careful not to let Orion hear. She glanced at their son, worried he might overhear.
Nash found her concern endearing and playfully pinched her nose. "If
