The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 189
Collins expected the knock at his office door to herald the arrival of some high—
ranking executive, so he was surprised to see it was just a fellow agent.
But not the friendliest one.
Narrowing his eyes, Collins“ voice came out distant and cool, “What do you
want?”
Cory, the embodiment of smug superiority, glanced at Collins, sauntered past him
into the office, and casually said after a brief pause, “Oh, right. Close the door,
will you? We need to
chat.”
The flippant request floated over from behind Collins, causing a slight furrow in
his brow. Nevertheless, he shut the door quickly, pivoted, and returned to his
desk.
Cory sprawled out on the couch like he owned the place, leaning back in a
relaxed pose. His gaze landed on Leo, who had managed to compose himself
and adopt his usual icy demeanor by the time Collins had opened the door. Now,
under Cory’s scrutiny, Leo couldn't help but scowl.
“Such a shame,” Cory tsked, shaking his head with a hint of mock pity. “A bright
future potentially dashed to pieces. Yet you two seem... oddly calm.” —
With a leg nonchalantly crossed over the other, Cory’s overt confidence didn’t
falter as he spoke, clearly unafraid of ruffling feathers.
Collins approached, his expression unreadable. “Spit it out, Cory. No need to
beat around the bush.”
“Everyone at the company knows about Leo's injury. He can't perform on stage
anymore. I just came to show some concern, buddy. Why the hostility?” Cory’s
smile was carefree.
Cory and Collins were the company’s top agents. Cory had always been in
Collins* shadow, especially with Leo being Collins’ ace. Now that Leo was
sidelined, Cory was curious to see how Collins would fare without his star.
Of course, Collins knew Cory was here to kick them while they were down, so he
didn't take the bait. Flicking his finger nonchalantly, he drawled, “Seems my boy
Leo's just too hot to handle. Envy’s an ugly beast, eh? Starts all kinds of rumors.”
Suddenly, Cory stood, the sarcasm on his face dissolving quickly. “Let's cut the
crap, Collins. We both know the score with Leo’s injury. Out of professional
courtesy, I could help you keep the lid on your little secret.”
Collins' lips pressed into a thin line, his gaze steady on Cory, aware that the real
proposition was about to be unveiled.
“Just have Leo step down as the lead of the Neon Paradox, and I'll squash all the
rumors for you,” Cory said slowly as if proposing a simple business deal.
