Chapter 424

The trainees at Potter Entertainment were no strangers to luxury, and Eve, the richest of the bunch, was particularly smitten with men like Edgar. At the news of his arrival, they whipped out their makeup kits, touching up their lips and powdering their noses. Debra frowned in contemplation, not believing it was a simple visit. She wondered if it was connected to the news she’d posted yesterday, but it would be reckless if Edgar came to confront her there at Potter Entertainment. Before she could think further, everyone had rushed downstairs. Eve’s father, Henry, was beaming like he’d won the lottery. First Juan, and now Edgar. Potter Entertainment was on a roll.

“Mr. Odom, all our trainees are present,” he announced, gesturing to the gaggle of starry-eyed girls. He had gathered only the girls, but Edgar’s gaze zeroed in on Debra. “Ms. Frazier.” She met his stare, her voice cool. “Hello, Mr. Odom.” Envious eyes swiveled towards Debra.

“Aren’t there male trainees here?” Chace asked. Henry blinked, taken aback. “Male trainees? What for? They’re just arm candy for rich ladies.” But since it was Edgar’s request, Henry could not reject it. He signaled to his manager, who scurried off to round up the boys.

“Have them relax,” Chace added. “Mr. Odom wants to see their natural state.”

“Sure,” Henry agreed.

Debra’s suspicion radar pinged. What is Edgar up to?

The male trainees filed in, led by a young man with an air of calm detachment. Debra recognized him as Oscar, the captain of the male trainees. She’d seen him on the training ground; his prowess was impressive. Oscar’s eyes flicked to Edgar, a slight frown creasing his brow, but he didn’t halt. Tomas nudged him. “That guy looks quite like you.”

Another boy chimed in, “Don’t be ridiculous. That’s Edgar Odom, the Booton tycoon.”

“But they do look alike,” Tomas insisted.

Edgar watched them, a smirk playing on his lips.

“These are our male trainees, and this is their captain, Oscar. This is the captain of our female trainees, Freya. They are the pillars of the crew,” Henry introduced.

Unhappy about it, Eve grumbled, “There are more key figures than just them.”

Henry silenced her with a glare.

“Not bad,” Edgar stepped forward, clapping Oscar on the shoulder. “Rising stars.”

“Yeah. Every one of them is meticulously chosen,” Henry crowed.

Debra, however, caught the subtle tension between Oscar and Edgar. She wondered if they knew each other.
