Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

"Y-You have a boyfriend?" Taric asked, stuttering while talking.

Avery slowly nodded as her face turned completely red as a result.

"Then…were you the one who I was talking to when we were privately chatting?"

Taric had a strong feeling that he already knew the answer to that question. However, he still hoped, deep down, that he was wrong about this entire thing.

But when he saw the smirk that formed on Darius\'s lips, he realized that his hope was utterly useless.

"No, you\'ve been talking to me this whole time."

"So, why did you come here? To make fun of me? Is that it. Well, congrats."

Taric didn\'t have a reaction that Darius had expected as he didn\'t seem too much about the fact that Avery was dating him. Nevertheless, his thoughts were true somewhat. Darius wanted to make fun of him a tiny bit since he had donated that much money to a girl he had never even met in his life.

However, Darius didn\'t want to make Taric an enemy. That was the last thing he wanted to do since he wanted to use his connections to grow his agency even more. After all, getting connections in the world of sports wasn\'t something that Darius had planned for in the beginning, but the more he thought about it…he realized that it could only be beneficial.

Athletes are some of the most popular people in the world, recruiting them under his wing can only be beneficial.

"No, I never planned to make fun of you." Darius started off with a lie. "Actually, because of the huge amount of money you were spending. I wanted to know more about you and your background. I was interested to know more about you, that\'s all."

"Then, couldn\'t you have done that online? Why did you have to come here and make fun of me?"

Darius shook his head once more, trying to calm the situation as much as humanly possible.

"No, actually, when I learned that you were a manager for sport athletes, I immediately wanted to meet you and learn more about you because, you see…I\'m also a manager. However, I\'m mainly focused in the entertainment industry. I was looking to expand and you seem to be the best person to talk to about those things."

Taric slowly nodded his head. He clearly understood why Darius had come all the way here. But, Darius had missed one important detail, Taric hadn\'t planned with meeting with a man. All he had wanted was to talk with Avery.

And no only had she come with a man, it was her boyfriend, someone who Taric completely ignored the existence of.

"Whatever, follow me in my office. You have a appointment, so we\'ll go through that quickly enough."

They walked to his office and walked right in, and Darius had to say that it was definitely impressive.

It was huge and, most importantly, extremely luxurious. Everything about it was mind-blowing. However, what stole the show was the huge windows that gave a few to the beautiful city of Los Angeles.

\'Yeah, he\'s definitely a big shot.\'

Darius glanced at Avery to see her reaction, and she was just as impressed as Darius, which annoyed him slightly. After all, he didn\'t want Avery to leave him for another man. That would be the last thing he wanted, and he would do everything to make sure that it wouldn\'t happen.

"So, what\'s your agency? Is she in it?" Taric asked as he sat down on the other side of his desk with a sigh.

Darius wasn\'t sure what to say as this wasn\'t heading in the direction that he had planned in the back of his mind.

He thought Taric would have been furious over what he had just discovered about Avery. But the man wasn\'t a loser like Darius had thought. He was actually normal. Well, "normal" if the part about him spending thousands on women online every month is removed.

Darius had thought that Taric would be in shambles by now but the look in his eyes was one of pure confidence. He knew that he had the advantage in this conversation.

"Oh, I created my agency two or three weeks ago. To be honest, things have been quite well as I already managed to recruit for talents, who are quite honestly incredible, in terms of results."

Darius didn\'t talk about how he recruited them since it was basically a cheat, as he already knew their talent before recruiting them inside his agency.

"Hm…who are they?"

"Well, there\'s Avery who has been growing like crazy on all social media platforms. Then, I recruited a singer, and then an actress, all of them are also growing quite well."

"Oh, so that was also a lie. She doesn\'t need a manager, alright."

Taric just nodded as he said that out loud. Darius knew that this wouldn\'t be going anywhere since he had said so many lies to the man standing in front of him. Nevertheless, he kept going.

It was somewhat annoying that the man in front of him wasn\'t a woman since Darius could have just done as usual and charmed her. But that wouldn\'t be an option this time around.

He would actually need to work this time around. His massage wouldn\'t do the trick here.

However, before Darius could even speak, Taric raised his head, straightened his back and said, "What is it that you\'re looking to get from me?"

"I know you\'re not here acting all friendly for fun. You want something, so just say it. That way, we\'re done with each other."

"Well, I\'m here to get some of your connections within the sports field. Maybe you know some coaches I could talk to, some scouts. You know, people I could hire in my agency."

"Alright, and why the fuck would I help you?" Taric said, the tension rising as he cursed. "What will I get in exchange?"
