The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Schedule conflict, huh?

"Wait — what?" Slater gasped, staring at Silo in disbelief. "Are you crazy? How can you be given A and suddenly conclude it’s Z?!"

"I should be the one asking you!" Silo yelled. "Why didn’t you clarify it?!"

"How do I clarify something I don’t even know I need to?"

"You should’ve said something! Also, how could you not tell her about me?!"

"I thought you already told her! Do you think I have nothing else to do? Do you want me to show you my schedule?!"

Lola and Slater’s manager, James, sat in the back seat and watched this bickering unfold. They shook their heads at the same time, sighing heavily. She then arched a brow as she glanced at the man seated in the row behind her.

"Hello," she offered him a smile. "I’m sorry for the late introduction. I’m Lola—Lola Young—but I go by the alias Taz."

Slater’s manager was younger than she expected, but the bags under his eyes were a tell that he truly was a manager of a superstar.

James tipped his eyeglasses and took her hand. "I’m James, and I’m sorry for whatever he’s been causing you."

"It’s nothing," she replied, withdrawing her hand. "If anything, I should be the one apologizing since it’s my fault he had to drag you into this."

"Actually, I just arrived in Novera not long ago, as I had to settle some matters back home." His face soured just thinking about what he had to do for Slater to be in Novera. "Besides, it’s not you—it’s his nephew and niece he came here for."

He paused and thought for a second. Well, Slater was here basically for his entire family. But he kept that to himself and offered Lola a mild smile.

He’s surprisingly kinder than I expected, she thought, returning the smile with the same gentleness. Slater always said his manager works him to the bone, but it seemed it was the other way around.

"So, the two of you are not in a relationship?" Silo clarified, watching Lola, Slater, and even James nod at him. "Then why is he living with you?"

"My sis and I are going to work together," Slater explained in a knowing tone. "And I’m not a resident here."

Not that he was lying. After all, that was the excuse they had given Lola for him to stay in the penthouse. Slater working in the series—the same series she would be working in—made it more practical for them to stay in the same place. Weird, but they somehow made it logical.

Silo’s face twitched. "So, you guys know each other?"

"We live together." Slater deadpanned. "Why would I stay at her place if I don’t know her?"

"..." Silo rocked his head, trying to make sense of this. But then again, Lola was well-connected. Maybe she met Slater some time ago and hit it off.

Lola studied Silo’s side profile and shook her head. She would’ve told him about the twins and their father, but Slater’s explanation seemed to work.

I’ll just tell him later, she thought, the corner of her lips curling up. I have a really good friend... even though he’s quite crazy and confusing.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Slater had to return to the reading session. His manager came with him, and Silo tried to make it up by tagging along. Lola stayed in the van, telling them she would follow after making a phone call.

Ring... ring... ring...

Lola listened to the rings patiently, arching a brow when it wasn’t answered. She tried again, but to no avail. Megan and Pixy’s phones just rang endlessly until the ringing stopped.

"What in the world are those two doing?" She mumbled, staring at her phone. "Did Manager Kang really give them some projects?"

But what kind of project could those two have that was bigger than Angel’s Revenge?

Lola rubbed her chin before she called somebody else. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
