Nina thought it was a bad idea.
"It's true that I was the cause of all that happened, but we can't just cover up the mistake like this,” she said,
analyzing the situation for him. "Mr. Jensen, I haven't clarified my end of the story. If you announced that we're
together, it won't undo the damage on your reputation. In fact, it might even worsen things."
"It won’t," the assistant said seriously, unlike his usual lighthearted demeanor.
He had his glasses on, and began explaining meticulously to Nina.
"Ms. Ashlee, take a look at this document."
It was an Excel sheet detailing the persona of every single celebrity in the industry. Marcus's line described him as a
gutsy yet tragic main lead persona.

shift Mr. Jensen's persona?"
Competition was getting increasingly intense in the entertainment industry. Although Marcus was awarded the Best
Actor award once, many producers have recently begun favoring celebrities with tragic main lead personas.
Celebrities who were popular and boasted huge fan bases were, in turn, not as greatly favored.
Marcus was very outstanding, but it wasn't enough for him to rely merely on that one award he won. His handsome
looks made people doubt that he had won the award with his merit alone.
The mere mention of that upset his assistant.
"Over the past two years, we’ve been finding the perfect opportunity to switch Mr. Jensen's persona. To think that
the best chance has come amidst this crisis."
He raised the example of a previous superstar.

he was taken, he was lambasted on social media. Despite that, time proved that he made the right decision. His
persona shifted from a popular young celebrity to a man with guts and resolve. He had his hands full with taking on
roles in many mainstream drama series."
The assistant’s eyes lit up with admiration. Then, he turned to look at Nina pleadingly.
If she remembered it right, the assistant had looked at her in disdain just a few moments ago. What a sharp and

Marcus was a good judge of character; over the years, he had earned the reputation of being a prestigious actor in
the industry.

and found them dull.
However, Nina was different. She had a pure and innocent aura usually seen in youths fresh off campus. It was hard
to imagine her as an editor-in-chief capable of exposing many in the industry.
She made one think of a gentle and harmless deer or rabbit, so furry and cute that one can't help but pinch her
cheeks.
"Your boyfriend won't mind it,” Marcus said almost seductively.
Nina felt embarrassed; she looked down and clenched the hem of her shirt. "He will."
Yet, her resistance sounded so weak. Perhaps she was just trying to lie to herself.
Everyone could tell that Vans was completely invested in Lina. Nina was deathly afraid that the facade between
them might turn into reality.
Marcus could sense the hesitation in her. He leaned in close, a stark contrast with his arrogant and cold demeanor
earlier. His fair, dewy skin was akin to a pure white piece of paper, searing right through her eyes.
