“Welcome to Lusha. We’ve only been open for a few months but
surely you’ve heard of the name before?”
“You expect me to keep up with all of your family’s front companies? What is it this time? Another law firm where you win cases by strong arming witnesses or maybe another moving company for your drug trafficking?”
“You haven’t changed.
Always expecting the worst from us.”
“The one time I didn’t I lost a close friend.”
“He betrayed us. What did you think would happen? Maybe you
should have coached him better before you sent him to infiltrate us. At least
when you betrayed us we didn’t know about it until you came back in front of us
with a cop uniform.”
“…………”
“Anyway let’s go inside. So I can show you my apparent evil
fortress of terror. ”
“Inaya, you’re late. Again. While you were slacking off, Starlight Talent Agency snatched Robyn Valentine. Yes the same Robyn Valentine that you promised that you were going to bring in. And what did I tell you about coming to the office dressed like a ragamuffin?”
“Why worry about a has-been? The last I heard, Stephanie Spears was waiting in our lobby for you. I think heard Donnie Young and Alexis Holiday were there too.”
“You can wear whatever you want.”
“I’m just a regular person at this company. Not a CEO or a
boss. Just a regular joe.”
“These people don’t know me. They don’t know the weight of
my family name. In their eyes, I’m just
a person with enough pull to get a job here without needing a college
degree. But this is Starlight Shores,
people like me would be a dime a dozen. Everyone has connections.”
“And what connections are you trying to make in this city
through this talent agency.”
“You really should stop assuming the worst. My father may
lie to get what he wants but you should know me by now, Jorvan. I don’t lie. I
don’t have to. What I want, I get and if I have to step on toes, I will do it
openly.
“So you expect me to believe you’re in Starlight Shores just to
work a regular nine to five?”
“Well what can I say? I am. But let's move this to my office. I suppose I can give you a more believable response although you'll still be skeptical."
