Chapter 149: Eve Goes Live
Olivia drove to the company and went straight to Danielโs office. Inside, Daniel was busy with some documents. Sitting on the sofa was a young man with a fresh, clean look, his posture stiff and proper. When Olivia entered, the boy immediately stood up, bowing deeply at a ninety-degree angle. Olivia was momentarily stunned.
Daniel glanced at her. โThis is Jared. Starting today, heโs your new agent.โ
Jared looked at Olivia with a mix of shyness and nervousness. โMs. Carter, please take care of me from now on!โ he said earnestly. Olivia was surprised. In her previous life, her agent had been switched about a year later, and it hadnโt been Jared. Watching him blush just from speaking, she found it hard not to laugh.
Daniel didnโt seem to want to talk much. After a brief explanation, he dismissed Olivia and Jared, saying he was busy. Once they left, Daniel made a phone call.
โMs. Amelia, the new agent has been assigned to Olivia. Yes, donโt worryโheโs just an internโฆ As for Eveโs livestream today, everything has been arrangedโฆโ
After hanging up, Daniel leaned back in his chair, glancing at Oliviaโs contract. A sinister look flashed in his eyes. โOlivia, youโve just been dealt a bad hand.โ
Olivia took Jared to the cafรฉ downstairs. Jared sat across from her, visibly nervous. He kept stealing glances at Olivia, trying to gauge her mood. The news that heโd been promoted to agent and assigned to Olivia had come as a shock. Heโd spent the entire previous night researching everything about her. Even as a newbie, Jared quickly realized Oliviaโs position in the entertainment industry was near rock-bottom, and her previous works had been, well, embarrassing.
But seeing Olivia today surprised him. Gone was the over-the-top, heavily made-up starlet from online photos. She was dressed simply, with her face partially hidden behind a pair of oversized black glasses. It made senseโcelebrities often wanted to avoid being recognized.
โMs. Carter, umโฆ this is my first time as an agent, so if I mess upโฆ please bear with me,โ Jared said, his face reddening again. Olivia studied him, amused by how his face seemed to turn red every time he spoke. With his youthfulโฆ

โAre you even old enough to work?โ
Jared froze for a moment before stammering, โIโm already twenty-two! Iโm definitely an adult!โ Olivia raised an eyebrow, skeptical. If heโd said he was eighteen, sheโd have believed him.
Worried she might doubt his abilities, Jared quickly added, โMs. Carter, I know Iโve only been with the company for three days, and Iโm still technically an intern, but I promise to work really hard!โ Olivia was at a loss for words. So, Daniel had stuck her with an inexperienced intern.
While Olivia pondered Danielโs motives, Jared was scrolling through his phone, searching for more information about her. As he scrolled, he came across a livestream from a moderately popular beauty blogger. The blogger wasnโt small-timeโshe had tens of thousands of followers. Jared watched for a while, then noticed something odd.
โMs. Carter, isnโt this the makeup artist from your โA Little Spark of Joyโ crew?โ
โHm?โ Olivia looked up.
Jared handed her his phone. She glanced at the screen and instantly recognized the person on the livestream. It was none other than Eveโthe makeup artist Olivia had just fired!
