Regina Shelby courteously thanked Thea Shaw.
And smoothly ushered her out.
As soon as Thea Shaw left, a man stepped out from a corner.
His looks were average, but his demeanor was excellent. Those familiar with him knew this was Regina Shelby's agent, Jesse Jennings.

Regina Shelby had been through ups and downs in the entertainment industry for many years, and while being kept isolated, she had little expectation for looks or learning—as long as someone understood her.
Her agent perfectly met her criteria.
Jesse Jennings watched the direction Thea Shaw left, slightly frowning. "Do you really believe her?"
"At least she gave me an answer completely different from what The Aetherium Sect gave me."
Regina Shelby sat down, crossed one leg, and lit another cigarette.
There was an unusual allure about her, but beneath the smoke, she appeared desolate.
