Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

[Aurora Sterling has joined your Talent Squad.]

[You have once more reached the limit of members.]

[To increase the size of your Talent Squad to five members, you will need to spend 10,000 Popularity.]

Darius's eyes widened when he saw the price required to have five members, and he seemed to understand that he wouldn't be getting a fifth member for a while. After all, he hadn't even gotten close to 1000 Popularity before.

He could only pray that the rewards from the Quests would be more generous to him. That's what he truly hoped for deep down.

"Uh, are you okay?" Aurora slowly muttered as she noticed that Darius wasn't paying attention to her at all.

After all, he was listening to the words inside his mind. He wasn't looking, or rather, he wasn't paying attention to what was happening right before him.

"Right, sorry about that."

"So, I guess…we're now costars?" Darius smiled.

Aurora giggled a little. "Yeah, I got to say, I'm happy that you were the one chosen. Tristan is really annoying to work with, and, to be honest, you're better-looking than him. So, I can't wait!"

Clara frowned when she saw the flirting happening right in front of her when she was standing right next to them. Nevertheless, she let it go. She wasn't like Yuna, who would cause a fuss over every little thing.

"So, uh, right. I never got to ask since this was all made so quickly. But when is the filming starting?" Darius asked, as he had to get some things done before leaving.

It wasn't much since he had made sure that Yuna had released her first single. Avery kept streaming like usual, growing her socials. And well, Clara and Aurora would be with him on set, which made things easy.

"Oh, the set is starting soon. At most, we'll start in three days."

"Where is it taking place?"

"Ah, it's going to be filmed in Europe. In France, to be more precise."

"Paris?" Darius asked.

"Yes. Paris, haha."

"And how long is it supposed to last?"

Chloe rubbed her chin for a while. "A month at most, I'd say."

Darius nodded as he knew that he had gotten a major role, which meant he would have to stay there for a while. However, one month was a long time, and he wasn't sure if Yuna, and Avery would be able to handle being away from him for so long.

'Maybe I could bring them with me…' Darius thought as he decided to ask them later about it. After all, Avery was still going to school. She might not have the time. However, Darius had a strong feeling that Yuna would accept without even thinking for a single second.

Avery would have normally accepted, but her father, Aaron, was returning to her house tomorrow, which would make things somewhat complicated. After all, Aaron had no idea about the career path of her daughter at the moment.

'Let's hope he doesn't want to rip my head off.'

Darius, however, was quite happy with the connections he had made while Aaron was away. After all, he had managed to get closer to his daughter and his wife. So, even if he wanted to curse at him, Darius would have two strong allies to protect him, especially his wife.

Darius couldn't wait to see the look on Aaron's face once he realized that she was now his.

Nevertheless, Darius pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind. "Alright, I guess the next time we'll see each other will be in Paris, uh?"

Darius had spent enough time in this place for today. After all, the sun was starting to go down, and they were still there. Yuna was probably wondering where he had sneaked to since Darius's phone had been vibrating for the entire day.

"Yes. See you in a couple of days!"

"I can't wait to work with you, Darius!" Aurora said with a blush on her face, the [Magical Scent] clearly having a strong effect on her.

The next day passed quickly as Darius headed for Avery's house. After all, today he would be meeting with her richest viewer, PixelPirate, the one and only.

After all, he had given more than 100k$ in a single stream. Talk about being obsessed with someone.

Nevertheless, before he left to meet with PixelPirate, Darius wanted to see Avery, Emma, and, more importantly, Aaron. After all, he had received text messages last night from Emma about him.

[Emma: My husband came back from his movie set. He tried to kiss me last night, but I made sure that he wouldn't be able to touch me. I told him I wasn't in the mood.]

[Emma: Haha! And he actually bought it.]

Darius just smiled when he saw those messages yesterday, as Emma didn't even want to be kissed by her husband anymore. It was sad to think that Aaron had lost the support of his family in two weeks of being away from them.

[Darius: Great. Also, I got some great news for you and Avery tomorrow.]

Darius would use the fact that Aaron was around to announce his debut as an actor. Darius still hadn't found the time to see Yuna yesterday to tell her about the news, but he would make sure to do it once he got back to the mansion he had rented. After all, she was always there. If she wasn't there, then she would be working with Ivy.

That was her daily routine, so, it wouldn't be too hard to find the time of the day.

Darius was now right in front of Avery's mansion door as he was let in without even needing to knock. Right as he was about to, the door opened wide, and Darius was met with Emma, who had a huge smile on her face; it seemed she had missed him quite a lot.

"You're finally here!" She exclaimed as she was about to give Darius a hug when she noticed that her husband was watching her.

So, she calmed herself down and turned around.

"So, what's this big announcement?" Emma asked with a blush on her face when she felt Darius's hand caressing her ass without her husband noticing.
