Chapter 1187:
“No. She only came back from overseas last week,” the agent explained patiently. “And she’s undeniably a stunning young woman. She’ll be arriving at the company shortly. I’ll introduce you two so you can get acquainted beforehand p>
Marcel nodded. It sounded routine, so he didn’t think much of it.
A few minutes later, the agent received a call. “Marcel, she’ll be here any minute. I’ll go pick her up p>
Marcel stayed in his office, quietly reading through the music video script as he waited.
“Marcel is very approachable and well-regarded in the industry. You’ll learn a lot working with him,” Marcel overheard the agent say outside his door.
A familiar feminine voice replied from the hallway, “Of course. I’ll do my best to improve my acting through this collaboration with Marcel p>
The voice sounded familiar, but Marcel couldn’t place where he’d heard it before.
Then someone knocked.
“Come in,” Marcel said.
The agent entered and announced, “Marcel, your co-star for the MV—Elva Valdez—is here p>
Marcel froze. The moment he saw Elva, his brows knitted. “What are you doing here p>
Although Elva had planned for this, she still put on a surprised expression. “Marcel, you’re starring in the MV p>
Hearing their exchange, the agent immediately sensed something and asked, “You two know each other p>
Elva spoke before Marcel could answer. “We were neighbors when we were kids—we grew up together. Who would’ve thought we’d end up filming a music video together? It must be destiny p>
Marcel nodded faintly, still digesting the fact that Elva was his co-star.

Relieved there wouldn’t be conflict between them, the agent said, “Since you already know each other, the shoot should go smoothly p>
He had been worried Marcel might clash with an unfamiliar actress and affect the quality of the music video.
Marcel was so surprised to see Elva that he couldn’t help asking, “When did you start in the entertainment industry p>
Elva looked at him with unmistakable adoration and said softly, “It’s all because of you, Marcel. I heard you became an outstanding actor, and I envied you so much. That’s why I decided to enter the industry and work hard—so I can be just as amazing one day p>
In truth, Elva’s decision had far more to do with wanting to be closer to Marcel.
“Elva, the entertainment industry isn’t as glamorous as you might think,” Marcel cautioned gently. “Especially for actresses. It’s tough and demanding. Success doesn’t come easily p>
But Elva didn’t seem intimidated at all. She smiled as if she had already made up her mind. “I know it’s complicated, but you’re so excellent, and I don’t want to fall behind. I want to become a star too p>
Marcel knew it would be a difficult road, but he didn’t press further. He simply nodded.
