Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

"Hey, you," Clara said right away to the introvert. "What's your role in the movie?"

The introvert who had her eyes covered and a blank look on her face just turned her head toward her and didn't say anything in response.

Clara had somewhat expected it, but even then she was taken aback from it. After all, wasn't it basic courtesy to answer to the people talking to you.

"Pfft, nevermind. I forgot that you couldn't talk to anyone, weirdo."

Because of everything that had just happened, Clara wasn't in a good mood and it was clearly showing every time she opened her mouth. She was annoyed from earlier and she was simply putting all that anger on the poor girl. Maybe it was because she was pretty or maybe it was from jealousy, Clara wasn't sure.

"I just don't want to talk to you, that's all."

Hearing that voice, Clara was extremely surprised as she looked in the girl's direction.

"What was that?"

"I just don't want to talk to you."

"Huh? But why?"

The girl just shrugged. She wasn't interested in discussing those things with a complete stranger.

"Ah, whatever. Can't you at least tell me your name?"

"Iris."

"So, what's your role in the movie?"

"Side-character."

"Uh…alright. Is this your first acting gig?"

"Yes."

'Damn, that girl is dry,' Clara thought in the back of her mind as the girl answered all her questions with a simple word. That was it. She would never comment on it or go in details about it.

It was annoying, but it was to be expected considering how she looked and acted. That's why Clara didn't too much on it. Instead, she decided to get closer to the girl. After all, Clara was pretty much doomed to find other friends.

Her previous "friends" had been those actresses which she had just insulted without a second thought. There was only boys left, and the lonely girl. The choice was easy to make for Clara as she wasn't really interested in having conversations with the rest of the actors. Most of them were probably like Tristan, after all.

That's why instead of leaving the girl alone, Clara decided to get closer to her as she changed seats until she was right beside her.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to call you a weirdo…" Clara said.

From there, their conversation continued without much problem as Clara continued to ask her questions one after another without any problems.

At one point, Iris was bound to become more open with Clara around. At least, that's what Clara was aiming for.

***

A few hours ago, when Darius and Clara had just left the hotel room, things were getting quite heated in the hotel room.

Yuna wasn't really happy with Ariel's presence and she was making it known.

She hadn't said much when Darius had been around out of respect for him. But she wasn't happy with sharing him with yet another woman. It was hard to take in for someone as jealous as her.

"Just where did you even come from?" Yuna asked Ariel. "I don't even know what he likes about you, you just look like some kind of whore that you can find in the corner of the street."

Yes, Yuna had just called the Goddess of Beauty a whore that you could find anywhere.

Was she blinded by jealousy and anger?

Yes.

That was the only reason she had said those things. However, she really meant them at the time.

Luckily for her, Ariel actually understood what was going through her mind and wasn't planning on doing anything to Yuna.

One of the main reasons why she wasn't doing anything was because of Darius and how he might react if Ariel were to attack and hurt Yuna or any other girls he had managed to gather in his agency. She knew just how much he cherished each of them and he didn't want such things to get in the way of things.

"I'm not here to steal anyone. Darius took me in just like the rest of you. If you're mad, just talk to him about it. It's not my fault," Ariel said.

She wasn't planning on having a debate with Yuna because she knew that it was a lost cause. Yuna had a strong personality and she also has strong opinions on certain subjects. That's why it was already a lost cause to continue discussing about Darius with her. In her mind, she was the only one that mattered to his eyes.

She was just a little delusional, but that was also the reason why Darius liked her so much.

"Look, instead of fighting one against the other. What about we help each other?"

Ariel wasn't trying to make enemies and she didn't want to use her skills to make everyone love her, which was why it was so difficult for her to deal with Yuna.

She could activate one of her skills and make Yuna turn into someone who absolutely loved her. But that would be fake love, and Ariel had promised herself that she wouldn't use her skills on humans as that would simply makes things unfair.

"Help each other…how?" Yuna said as she squinted her eyes. "I'm interested, tell me more about it."

"You want Darius to give you more attention, right?"

"Yes, that's all I want."

"Well, the best way for that is for you to become extremely popular online. If that were to happen then Darius would give you a lot more attention. Your first single was great, and Darius gave you attention because of it. However, it wasn't enough."

"That's why I have a plan for him to give us all the attention that he currently has."

Emma and Avery, who had only been listening from far away also got interested to hear more about Ariel's plan. After all, those girls were all obsessed with Darius and they would do anything to have more of his attention for them alone.

Ariel just grinned when she saw how all of them were suddenly interested in her.

'Ah, you naughty disciple, you really managed to make them absolutely obsessed with you, huh?'

"Ok, hear me out…"
