Ian Rowe asked me a question, so I should just follow along with the plot and answer.
"Actually, I think it's better to let Eric spread his wings. He's quite stubborn and won't turn back until he hits a wall. Let him try, and no matter the outcome, can't you still support him?"
Maya Monroe took out a candy from her pocket and skillfully peeled off the wrapper.
She was speaking the truth; the Rowe Family is massive, making it easy for them to elevate Eric to fame. Even if he doesn't do well... Eric, as the protagonist in the story, can't possibly fail.
Maya was just about to pop the candy into her mouth when she noticed Ian staring at the candy in her hand. Realizing an earnest conversation might make eating candy seem inappropriate, she was reluctant to throw it away.
"Uh, darling, do you want some candy?" Maya asked with a dry smile, not sounding sincere at all.
Ian looked at the pink candy in her hand, contemplating for a couple of seconds.
