Chapter 1008
“| came across a promotional video for our company’s new reality talent competition, and it took me by surprise.” He paused briefly then continued, “Miss Edwards is featured prominently in it.”
“Ariana Edwards?” Holden’s confusion was evident as he frowned.
“Yes sir,” Shawn responded promptly.
“| thought she was deeply involved in renewable energy projects. Why would she participate in a talent show?” Holden questioned.
Shawn took a moment to think before answering, “It seems that Miss Edwards may see it as a diversified investment. This competition showcases talents seeking opportunities with talent agencies, and she recently launched her own agency.”
Holden found it strange that Ariana would suddenly enter the entertainment industry, seemingly unrelated to her energy initiatives.
Feeling Holden's unspoken curiosity, Shawn suggested, “I’ve heard rumors that Miss Edwards has prior experience as a talent agent, although the details are unclear. Would you Like me to investigate further?”
“That won't be necessary,” Holden casually dismissed the idea. “Whatever she does is her business.”
Although he didn’t voice his curiosity, learning this new facet of Ariana had certainly sparked his interest. What did the mysterious Miss Edwards look like?
After a brief moment of hesitation, Holden asked, “Could you share the link to that video?” Shawn was surprised by the request. It was almost unbelievable.
What?!
He wondered when Holden developed an interest in celebrity gossip.
Could it be because of Miss Edwards?
But Shawn quickly dismissed the notion as unlikely. Holden rarely paid attention to trending news, and he probably just wanted some lighthearted entertainment.
With this in mind, Shawn shared the link.
Almost immediately, Ariana’s call came in on Holden’s phone. With no hesitation, he picked up the call. “Daddy?” A young boy’s voice greeted him on the other end.
Holden’s expression loosened up into a warm smile.
“Where’s your mommy, kiddo?” he asked gently.
“Mommy asleep. She’s very tired. | called you secretly,” the child admitted. “Why are you calling daddy so late instead of sleeping?” Holden gently scolded. “Mommy says you're too busy for me to call often. But | can’t sleep.
Can you share a story with me, Daddy?” the boy pleaded.
Holden readily agreed. With a warm chuckle, he made his way toward the exit and continued to chat with the boy. His face beamed with tender affection.
As Holden left, Shawn watched in stunned silence.
Unbelievable! Could it be that Mr. Fredrick actually had a hidden child? If Miss Pierre ever discovered this.. She'd be devastated.
