Chapter 275: The Power Behind Anita
Seeing John standing rigidly, like a child caught doing something wrong—nervous and guilty—Anita couldn't help but smile.
She wasn't truly angry. In fact, she had only been teasing him.
Her friends had asked her the same question before, so she understood the context. The entertainment industry was a tough world, and for someone like Anita, with her beauty and raw talent, finding stability was a constant challenge.
"You look so nervous," Anita chuckled. "I was just joking, John. You're taking it too seriously. I'm not really angry."
Her bright smile softened his heart. John had truly feared that his earlier question might have hurt her feelings.
He sighed in relief and said, "Anita, I trust you. Please, don't ask me that again."
Anita's heart warmed at his sincerity. "Honestly, it's normal for you to be suspicious. If you didn't care, that would be more troubling."
"Anita, I..." John started, but she quickly interrupted him.
"The Long family in Houston is behind me," she said, her voice calm but serious. "And so is the boss of my agency, Prosper Entertainment."
