+8 Pearis
With the support of Soren, a top international celebrity, Missy might just have a shot at breaking into the top–tier beauty market.
And once Missy reached that level, the road ahead would be much more secure.
Even so, Eliza really didn’t want to get involved with Nolan’s brother any further.
Meanwhile-
“Soren! Soren, I love you!”
“You’re amazing, Soren! Keep it up!”
A crowd of fans had already surrounded his van ihe moment he wrapped up his last shoot of the day.
Soren gave them polite nods before quickly getting into the car with his manager shielding him from the crowd.
Once inside, Soren leaned back with a weary look.
His manager said, “Missy sent an invite for dinner tonight. I’ve confirmed the time and location. But… you look wiped out. Want to reschedule for another day?”
Soren rubbed his temples. “When I’m free, she might not be. Let’s just do it today.”
“She?”
His manager raised an eyebrow.
Who’s she?
“I don’t have anything else going on tonight. Let’s head to Missy now.”
Seeing Soren make up his mind, the manager didn’t say more.
The car headed straight for Missy’s headquarters.
Eliza had been busy in her office when her assistant came in with a message–Soren was already on his way.
She immediately put down her documents. “Now? But it’s only four thirty.”
Why did it feel like they were the ones more eager?
If anything, we should’ve been the ones reaching out to Soren, not the other way around.
“Put everything on hold for now. I’ll go see what’s going on.”
“Got it, Ms. Rivers.”
Eliza smoothed out her clothes and headed downstairs to greet him.
Given Soren’s status, and the fact that they were technically asking him for a favor, she had to handle this with care.

Soon, Soren’s van pulled up at the main entrance.
His manager escorted him into the lobby.

Even though he wore a simple tracksuit, the front desk staff couldn’t help sneaking photos–he still looked unbelievably good.
Eliza walked up to him with a warm smile and extended her hand. “Soren, welcome.”
Soren took her hand with a faint smile. “Getting a meeting with Ms. Rivers isn’t easy.”
“I was out for a couple days and didn’t expect you to come in person. I owe you an apology. Dinner’s on me tonight.”
She was genuinely apologetic.
Soren replied, “I’m pretty tired. Is there somewhere I can rest for a bit?”
“Of course. There’s a lounge upstairs.”
Eliza chuckled. “I’m a huge fan of taking naps, so I actually set up a little bed in my office. Super comfy. You’ve been filming all day–you must be exhausted.”
Soren truly was tired. He didn’t even have the energy to speak.
Still, he did his best to keep smiling in front of Eliza.
Once they entered the elevator, she turned her head slightly and got a good look at him.
He looked completely drained. His eyes were ringed with dark circles.
All that polite chit–chat at the entrance–he must’ve been forcing himself through it.
“Soren, you look really tired.”
“A little.”
When the elevator doors opened, Eliza led him straight into her office.
She quickly unfolded a collapsible bed, added a plush pillow and a soft office blanket.
“Try it. It’s really comfortable.”
Moved by her hospitality, Soren lay down without hesitation.
The blanket she’d laid out was incredibly soft–surprisingly cozy for an office setting.
