Leo’s brow furrowed instinctively at Collins’ mention of Summer. Without a moment's hesitation, he replied, “No
need.”
Collins paused, his expression turning to one of confusion as he took in Leo’s sudden sour mood. “Uh, you're not
planning to bring Summer along?”
“I'm not close with her.” Leo said, his voice a mix of cool detachment.
Collins couldn't help but think it odd. Summer had grown up with Leo, but they weren't close. Who was he
kidding?
After a moment's thought, Collins decided not to push the topic and switched gears. “So, who are you thinking of
bringing? Someone from the band? Or maybe an artist from the company?”
Leo suddenly looked at Collins with an expression that bordered on incredulous. “Didn’t you say it had to be a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily member?” he asked. Mirabella was also his sister.
“Yeah, that’s right.” Collins nodded, his eyes suddenly widening as a thought struck him. “You're not thinking of
inviting Zach, are you?!”
“Zach's a well-known lawyer in the industry. Sure, he’s not as high-profile as those in showbiz. but he does pop
up in magazines from tto time. Teaming up with Zach... that could be ant interesting choice.”
Collins crossed his arms, his analysis sound. But then his gaze shifted, skeptical. “But considering how much
Zach seems to dislike you, | doubt he'd join a variety show.”
Leo’s expression darkened. “Who said anything about inviting Zach?”
“Uh... you are bringing Emmitt?” Collins blinked, thinking that possibility even less likely.
“My sister,” Leo paused, then clarified. “My actual sister.”
At that, Collins slapped his forehead in realization. “Right, of course! How could | forget about your little sis? If
you bring her to the show, man, she’ll be a dazzling highlight.”
The siblings‘ good looks alone would crush the competition. The more Collins thought about it.
the more excited he became.
Leo shot him a look. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. She's a high school senior; she might not have the time.”
“Don’t worry about that. The show's still in the planning stages. Since it will be live, I'm guessing it will be on
weekends. It won't interfere with her studies.”
“She might not want to join.”
“That's easy. Just giveher number, and I'll take care of it.” Collins was already pulling out his phone as he
spoke.

Leo watched his manager's movements but didn’t bother to look up his sister's contact info. After pursing his lips
thoughtfully, he finally spoke, “Never mind, I'll talk to her myself.”
Collins pocketed his phone without further insistence. “Alright, it's settled then. If there's a snag...”
Leo cut him off before he could finish, “I'm her brother. | can handle it.”
Confident in his client's determination, Collins said no more and soon left the Davis family hwith the
contract in hand.
Leaning back on the sofa, Leo pondered for a moment before grabbing his phone and opening Messenger. He
sent a message to his sister. [Hey, sis, can you doa little favor?]
Mirabella wasn't in class yet and replied promptly. [What's up?]
Leo sat up, his fingers flying across the screen as he typed out a message, only to delete it. feeling it wasn’t
quite right. He composed and erased several drafts before settling on one to send.
Mirabella saw the ‘typing... indicator persisting for minutes on end and finally sent back a question mark in
confusion.
