Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Gracie chuckled and said, "I knew you'd listen to my words. Don't worry, I'll sort out this kid's situation within three days. We'll have him come to the company and train with the newbies." Hank grimaced with a wry smile, "I'm really not cut out for acting. I don't have the talent."

Out of the blue, Ashley chimed in, "But can you sing?"

Stephanie's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "He can! Hank's got a pretty good voice. Back in the day, he'd always sneak in some tunes after hours at the karaoke bar!"

"If you can sing and you've got the looks, and you're young, we could groom you into the next pop idol, or maybe put together a boy band. Those are all the rage right now."

Hearing this, Stephanie turned to Hank and asked, "What do you think, Hank?"

Hank replied uneasily, "Well, I'm singing most of the time during my livestreams. There are fans coming to listen to my singing, but aren't quite many."

Gracie stroked her chin and nodded, "I think this could work. You might just be perfect for that path. You guys wait here, I'll reach out to some old pals in the music scene over the next couple of days. See if we can't find a mentor to brush up his professional skills." But Hank shook his head, "Steph, I don't have time to learn new stuff. I need money urgently, or else the children in the orphanage will starve otherwise. Doing influencer gigs is a quick way to make some extra cash."

Stephanie rolled her eyes and retorted, "If the company poaches you, the buyout fee will be covered by us. Sign with us, and you'll get a signing bonus, plus various royalties down the line. That's way faster money than what you'd make as an influencer." "Really?"

Stephanie stood up and announced, "Gracie, I'm leaving him in your capable hands. Fill him in on the details, will you? I'm off to pick up Emily. Have got a scene to shoot this evening, need to head back to the set to prepare." "Sure thing, I've got this."

Ashley stood up hastily, "Steph, be careful with what you say around Emily. She's still young!"Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don't worry, Ashley. Emily, look at your mom, worrying I'm leading you astray, yet not realizing how savvy kids are these days."

Emily giggled and said, "Exactly. Mom's out of the loop, can't keep up with the times."

"Isn't that the truth?"

The two left the office, bantering as they went.

Ashley shook her head in amusement.

When she was on the cutting edge, they two weren't even born yet!!

After handing Hank over to the capable Gracie, Stephanie confidently took Emily down to the parking garage.

Little did she know, this encounter would open up a world of opportunities for Hank.

In the future, he would be a star

member of a wildly popular boy band, and even after leaving the group, he would become a solo icon in the music industry.

With his own efforts, he would support the entire orphanage, which later became a social media sensation Childless families would go there to adopt, and countless fans of Hank would volunteer in helping to care for the children.

For now, Emily's eyes widened in awe at the sight of Stephanie's sports car, "Wow! What a cool ride! Did Seb give this to you?"

But all that was to come.

"Yeah, he has given me a few. Next time, I'll take you to pick one out. How about I gift you one too?"

Emily nodded eagerly, then hesitated as if remembering something, "Is that really okay, though? Seb gave it

to you, and you're giving it to me? Are you sure Seb won't mind?"
