Chapter 10：A genius. (2/2)

While Rysia's still away from the room, Ren takes it as his chance to ask me a few more things. ”Hey dude, Therysia's your ex-girlfriend, right?!”

One of my eyebrows arches up. ”... How did you know that?”

Ren mischievously goes on, ”Let's say I have my ways of knowing some things... Hee hee~”

”So, it's true!” Ren rubs his hands together. ”Is she always like this...? Such a stickler! What a waste. I can see why you dated her, but I guess you broke up 'cos she's boring as hell.”

I'm certainly not having any of this.

”Ren, I may not be dating her anymore, but please show her respect.”

The look on my face grows harsher by the moment. ”Ms. Raley is great at what she does, and no, she's not always like this. I'm lucky to have such a talented manager guide me.”

”She takes her work very seriously and is a TRUE professional. Ms. Raley has her ways of doing things, and there's nothing wrong with it.”

Ren eyes me suspiciously because of how passionately I'm defending her. ”Ahh... so she broke up with you. Hmm, interesting.”

”Oh, don't look at me like that. I won't say anything bad about her anymore. Geez!”

I am about to open my mouth to say something else until I hear the door open.

With the best poker face, I try not to be blatant that I overheard Jett defending me.

I kind of half-expected Jett... well, not that I think he would completely trash talk me but, maayyybe he might complain a little, but I was surprised that he understood me THAT well instead.

I go back in and sit on my seat. They have already gone back to discussing the movies and tv shows that Ren might be interested in.

Saw most of the proposals this morning, and all of them had a lot of potentials.

Jett's a genius.

I can already tell that Ren will be very sought after as soon as the premiere showing or pilot episode comes around.

The meeting finally comes to an end once they got everything synced up with each other, including their schedules.

Jett and I bid Ren Hille goodbye, and Ren goes through the door.

I grab the remaining documents and help Jett carry them back to his office.

As I walk and am about to reach the door myself, my shoulder gets grabbed from behind.

I turn around and out of nowhere, I feel a lump in my throat.

”... Ms. Raley... You... you heard everything, didn't you?” Jett looks at me worriedly.
