Ellinor smiled and said, "I'm here to work."
"To work? Aren't you a nanny at some wealthy person's home?"
"My employer is hardly ever home. And there's not much to do around the house. So, I thought I'd find a side gig to make some extra dough."
Sheila gave Ellinor a once-over with a mocking smirk on her face. Seeing Ellinor looking for extra work made her laugh, "You need a side gig? Looks like your employer isn't paying you much, huh?"
Ellinor nodded, "Yeah, not much."
"What's up, Sheila? Why are you still hanging around the door? Aren't you supposed to be shooting a magazine cover?"
A friendly middle-aged man's voice came from the office.
Sheila turned her head, giving the man inside a flirtatious laugh, "I was just leaving, but someone's blocking the door!"
"Blocking the door? Let me see who dares block our star's way!"
The manager, Mr. Fang, came out, ready to scold an ignorant subordinate. But when he saw Ellinor standing at the office door, he froze.
He'd worked in the entertainment industry for years and seen many beauties, but he was rarely taken by a woman's looks.
But a girl with a bare face like the one at the door was a rare sight in the entertainment circle.
"You are..." Mr. Fang collected himself and asked her.
Ellinor introduced herself politely, "Mr. Fang, my name is Ellinor. Someone told me to come see you and said you'd arrange a job for me."
Mr. Fang paused, "Ellinor? So it's you! Come in!"
Collin had just called him to arrange a job for a girl named Ellinor.
Though Collin hadn't specified who this Ellinor was, anyone who had Mr. Blanchet's right-hand man, Collin, personally arranging a job for them must be special. He couldn't afford to neglect her.
Ellinor followed Mr. Fang into the office.
