Agnes turned to Ivan and said, "Don't tell me we're picking up Justin."
Ivan’s voice was calm, but his words dropped like a bomb. "That's right, you must know him, he's your father's company's favorite star."
Justin was the backbone of Starlight International Group, so of course Agnes knew him. But Agnes had assumed that as the producer of this TV show, Ivan would choose a star from Century Entertainment to be the leading actor.
So, she had guessed that the male lead would possibly be Robin or Orlando.
However, Agnes forgot that from the very start, Ivan had mentioned that the show was a joint investment between Century and Starlight.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising for Starlight's top star to be the lead actor in the show.
But... why did it have to be him...
Justin was already walking over, surrounded by fans.
With so many fans, screams and shouts were everywhere. Before he could even say hi, Ivan ordered, "Let's go, we'll talk in the car."
The fact that Ivan personally picked up Justin, made Agnes think, Justin was a big deal.
So, when getting in the car, Agnes deliberately left the front passenger seat empty, and went to sit in the back.
However, when Justin arrived, he didn't take the front seat. Instead, he went straight to the back and sat next to Agnes.
"Ivan, drive. I purposely delayed my trip by a day, but they’ve been waiting here all day and night. The young folks these days are way too fanatical about their idols. If I ever have a kid who’s that crazy about chasing stars, I swear I'll break his legs."
Agnes was speechless. Who talked about their fans like that?
Ivan had already started the car and they quickly left the airport.
Agnes said, "I do."
Justin asked, "How about my proposal you've been considering for so long, what’s your decision?"
Agnes replied, "I believe I gave you a clear answer a year ago."
This time, Ivan seemed surprised, "Is there something special going on between you two?"
Agnes quickly replied, "Nothing special, he's just... a bit off."
Now Ivan was even more interested, "I want to know, what happened a year ago?"
Justin's voice was careless, with a hint of laziness. He brushed his hair back from his forehead and said casually, "Nothing much, I proposed to her a year ago, but she turned me down."
