Dominant Woman Looking for Love - Chapter 11：Mr. Hille

My daydreaming gets cut short when the notification sound of a bell chime goes off on both my laptop and my phone.

It’s a new e-mail. It most likely contains the file I’ve requested from Jett earlier that has all the information on the male celebrity he’s going to be in charge of from now on.

This reminds me; since Honey told me to focus on Jett for a week, I’ll have to make sure I teach him the most important things first, ones that are of utmost priority. He will still need to adjust to so many things that I don’t want to overwhelm him. I should keep the training sessions at a good pace.

So the key for the first day is an overview of my system when I manage a celebrity for the first time. I’ll be teaching him the things he’ll need to establish a solid partnership with each person he’s handling.

I sit on my computer chair and open my laptop wider. After typing on the keyboard, one final click of the mouse opens a PDF file that’s now shown on the screen.

“Let’s see…” I mumble to myself as I quickly go over his photos, resume, and basic info.

Huh. That’s interesting.

“Ren Hille. 20 years old. Blah, blah, blah…”

“Uh-huh…”

“Oh… he belongs to an idol group called ‘7Crowns’.”

My eyes squint a little as I start to read faster and faster, “True to the group’s name, means they have seven members in total. They only just debuted about six months ago, and because of their immense, almost mind-boggling popularity, they have already gained this much traction.”

I use my thumb and index fingers to rub along my lower jaw while I think. Doing all these aides my thinking process, so I continue to talk to myself as I pace around the room at the same time.

“So I guess they’re trying to breach into different departments now to take full advantage by using their popularity to ride out the wave. Of course, this includes movies, variety shows, advertising, interviews, tv-series, choreography, composing, lyrics, and even scriptwriting, to name a few.”

I reach the other end of my room, and I spin around to walk the opposite way. “This will depend on the idol and what their other talents are outside of what they usually do as a ‘7Crowns’ member. Ren is the 2nd lead in the group and generally does well on a lot of things, but he excels the most in acting.”

“From what I’ve read so far, he’s honestly a great choice for Jett’s first celeb. He’ll prove to be a great enough challenge for a first-time manager. Honestly, he’s so dang lucky to be guiding someone with already this much potential. Lucky bastard.” My lips morph into a smirk. I shake my head and bury half of the face into one of my palms at an angle.

Of course, it’s not like I want to see him fail or to have an awful time, but he won’t have to go through what most managers with absolutely no backing do. While it may be a setback, you do learn some crucial things out of being patient and resourceful.

You also get to exercise and wrack your brain for ideas you’d never have been able to think of otherwise if there wasn’t any urgency.

In any case, there are still a lot of positives. One of them is that he can shift his attention from the person he’s handling and focus on learning the process with less stress.

Luck, after all, is a significant part of everything in this world. Regardless of whatever type of career, power, or social standing, one has no one should ever look down on luck or use it to devalue someone else.

Thankfully, he has nothing to worry about Ren at this point. Otherwise, it would have been too much of a distraction for someone just starting.

He can take his time and dedicate himself more to organizing, networking, polishing, promoting, and showcasing Ren as a package – an end product. I’ll have to focus on that when I start tomorrow then.

With the rest of the evening, I end up preparing all the materials for our first day tomorrow. Some will be in digital form, and others will have to be printed out at the office tomorrow.

I arrive at the Intoxis Entertainment headquarters 30 minutes ahead of schedule.

I use the time I have to print out the handouts I prepared last night.

As a manager with seniority, I have my own private office.

Since newbie managers don’t have their own offices, I left a sticky note at Jett’s cubicle, letting him know to come to my office as it’d be much easier to talk here.

Time went by quickly, and before I knew it, someone knocks on the door.

After I answer loudly, telling them to come in, the door slowly swings open, and a certain person’s head pokes through the opening. Jett enters with some folders and a laptop nestling in his arm.
