“How long?” Damon asked, looking up.
“A month at most,” Magnus replied. “In the meantime, we can fan the flames behind the scenes, promote a new young singer. Once Leopold feels the pressure, he’ll come running to Gale Entertainment.”
“Good. You’ve proven to be a valuable asset,” Damon said, pleased with the news. “What’s the latest on Starlight Media?”
Lucius sat silently on the sofa, his legs crossed. Though he didn’t speak, Magnus could tell he was keenly interested in the situation.
“One of my sources there told me that Larissa brought in some outside help a few days ago. They haven’t officially joined the company, and they even use codenames. The strange thing is, Larissa seems to trust them completely. My source sent me their photos, and I ran a check on my way back. They’re nobodies.”
“It’s just a desperate move,” Damon scoffed.
“Exactly what I was thinking. She’s probably just trying to keep morale up. A few nameless faces are nothing to worry about. The only real problem is…” Magnus paused for a moment. “Larissa somehow managed to persuade the famous director Gustave to come out of retirement.”
At the mention of that name, Benedict, himself a director, frowned.
It was the one name he never wanted to hear. In his two-decade-long career, his achievements still paled in comparison to what Gustave had accomplished in less than ten years.
“Gustave?” Damon asked, surprised. “Are you sure?”
