Bobby put his hands in his pockets, leaning in with a knowing look as he regarded Fannie closely. âAre you jealous?â
Fannie was taken aback by his smugness. Was he enjoying this? âWhat makes you think that?â
Bobby grinned mischievously. âThen why wonât you sign Judie? Does it upset you? Just admit it. Seeing me with Judie makes you uncomfortable, doesnât it? Watching me pamper her surely gets under your skin.â
Fannie clenched her fists, too enraged to come up with a sharp retort. But as Jettâs girlfriend, she couldnât let Bobbyâs words affect her.
Refusing to satisfy his taunting, she spoke in a cool, businesslike tone. âJudie approached me because sheâs bothered by our past. Do you think she can do her job properly under me? You know sheâs here to cause trouble, yet you still indulge her.â
Bobby shrugged nonchalantly. âWhy not, if itâs what makes her happy?â
Fannieâs frustration flared. âHavenât you invested so much in her career? Endorsements, ads, magazines, TV shows, movies⦠If she doesnât work well with her agent and something goes wrong, her career in the entertainment industry could be over. Have you thought about that?â
Bobby nodded, unfazed. âI have. If that happens, Iâll support her. I donât want her to suffer through acting, but she enjoys it. Whatever she wants to achieve, Iâll make it happen for her.â
Fannie could hardly believe the absurdity of what she was hearing. âAre you even serious about Judie?â
âNothing complicated. Sign Judie and be her agent.â Bobbyâs tone was casual, but the intent was clear.
Fannie sneered, her eyes narrowing. âArenât you afraid Iâd make her shoot adult films?â
Bobby raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by her response. âWould you?â
âOf course,â Fannie replied, crossing her arms defiantly. âIâm an agent, after all. She may be your girlfriend, but sheâs just another artist to me.â
Bobby put his hands in his pockets, leaning in with a knowing look as he regarded Fannie closely. âAre you jealous?â
