Juan ticked off the list on his fingers. “Romance, gifts, money, looks, and figure.” Joe nodded like a bobblehead. “You’ve got it all, sir. Except maybe the romance bit.”
Juan shot him a withering glance. “You think I need a reminder? Prep everything by these standards.”
“Sure.”
“And contact the Potter Group. I’m visiting them tomorrow.”
“Consider it done, sir.”
The next day, the practice room buzzed like a hive of bees.
“You hear? Mr. Nichols is gracing us with his presence today.”
“Mr. Nichols? Here? That means…”
Eyes swiveled to Debra, who frowned. She hadn’t heard anything about the arrangement.
She whipped out her phone to grill Ben, but Hannah swept in and said, “Debra, come with me.
Under the collective stare, Debra trailed Hannah out. She stepped into the hallway and spotted Juan downstairs, surrounded by an entourage of suits.
Eve, poking her head out, caught sight of her father groveling by Juan’s side.
“Eve, isn’t that your dad?” someone whispered. “Well, Juan is something else. Even Henry Cameron has to entertain him in person.”
Eve flushed, spinning on her heel to retreat.
In the elevator, Debra grilled Hannah. “What’s going on?”
Hannah sighed. “Mr. Nichols is here to discuss a collaboration. He asked for you specifically. Play nice, Debra. His investment could mean big things for us.”
Debra chewed on that. Potter Entertainment might be under the Potter Group umbrella, but they still had to dance for their supper at the headquarters. Juan’s backing could mean fatter bonuses and bigger budgets.
“Does Andrew know about this?” she asked.

Hannah hesitated. “The higher–ups haven’t informed Mr. Andrew Potter yet.”
The answer was within Debra’s expectations.
If Juan’s potential investment was revealed to Andrew in advance but didn’t materialize, it would lower Andrew’s expectations of Potter Entertainment. If she were a senior executive here, she would do the same.
“This way.” Hannah led her to Juan.
Henry Cameron, the chairman, was all smiles. “Debra is one of our newest trainees. She knows the company inside out. Why don’t we have her show you around? We can discuss business over lunch. I’ve made reservations.”
Juan held up a hand. “My secretary will handle the details. I’m borrowing Debra for the day. That alright?”
“Sure,” Henry agreed eagerly. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Debra intended to refuse, but Henry steamrolled over her. “It’s an honor to have Mrs. Nichols as a trainee. We won’t intrude on your reunion.”
