"What exactly do you want?"Timothy's expression grew icy instantly. He looked quite fearsome at that moment. "Just say what you want to say, Mrs. Winchester. No need to beat around the bush.""Calm down, Mr. Moore." Hannah just smiled while waving airily. "I'm here to talk business with you as a potential business partner. I don't want to become your enemy.""Talk business? With a small-time departmental manager like me?"Timothy couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically. "Have you gone mad, Mrs. Winchester? I'm not the one in charge of Moore Group right now. I'm just a nobody with a useless position. Why not seek my nephew out instead of me?"He laughed coldly before continuing to jab at Hannah. "After all, you're equipped with advanced seduction skills. My nephew is more than willing to work with you, you know. Besides, Gregory will be elated once he finds out that a titan like Winchester Group can help boost Moore Group's profits and fame.""Mr. Moore, I specifically came here
Timothy was surprised, to say the least.He glanced at the waitress before smiling at her. "I don't know, but I hope I can come here on time."A momentary pause later, he fished out a business card and passed it to the waitress, "If I couldn't get here on time, could you give that woman a bouquet of flowers? The bouquet should have 143 azure hyacinths."The waitress perked up instantly.143 hyacinths … It was a code for "I love you".That meant Timothy had always been in love with the pianist, right?The hidden message of azure hyacinths was "I hope the one I love will be happy". Timothy must have wanted the pianist to always be happy, right?But … if he truly loved her that much and constantly looked forward to the day they met … and that he would present her with his obscure blessings …Why couldn't he grant the pianist true happiness, then?"Of course!" The waitress accepted the business card, but she soon chewed on her bottom lip hesitantly. "Mr. Moore, why don't you want
Naomi, who thought that it was a hassle to bring clothes and skincare products that were too heavy for her to handle, decided to load her suitcase with books in the end.When she tried to pick her suitcase up, she was unable to do so. She had to ask the driver to grab her luggage for her in the end.That Sunday, Taylor visited Hannah at Winchester Residence early in the morning.Taylor had been with the production crew for a long time. She could only use what little free time she had just to study.She had to balance her work and studies, so she had been leading an extremely busy life so far.Dennis had devoted so much blood, sweat, and tears to "The Search". During this period, the cast and crew had traveled everywhere in the country. Thanks to that, Taylor's skin was a healthy sheen of tan. She grinned at Hannah the moment she noticed her.Tanned girls were always popular among teenage boys anyway, much less beautiful girls like Taylor.But Hannah couldn't help but notice bl
"Mr. Westwood said that I'd look ugly in front of the camera if I were to gain weight. I've been on a strict diet for a long time. That's why I haven't been able to drink any milkshakes for a while now."Taylor pouted while continuing pitifully, "Whenever you earned money in the past, you'd bring us snacks and milkshakes. I really miss those times we shared in the past …"It was just an excuse, yet Taylor felt a pang of sadness at that moment.Before Hannah got married, everyone shared a tight-knit bond that was akin to the one between siblings no matter how difficult life in the slums was for them.As the youngest child, Taylor would constantly be showered with surprises from the others. Even though she grew up in poverty, Taylor never lacked anything in the love department.But ever since Hannah got married, Taylor started accepting acting gigs as well. Because of their busy schedules, it was insanely difficult for them to meet up unless they could plan ahead."It was nothing."
"How wonderful!"Diana Sorsby didn't bother concealing her glee as she smiled happily at Cedric. "I just returned to Cybenea recently, and I didn't get to know anyone here. I'm so happy that you're willing to catch the concert with me, Mr. Garner!""I don't think anyone can turn a beautiful woman like you down, Ms. Sorsby," Cedric replied lightly. "If you ever feel bored in the future, feel free to come looking for me.""Really? Won't I end up disturbing you?"Diana's smile widened even more despite the question. She decided to drop a bolder hint at that moment."The thing is, my aunt wants me to come out and meet more bachelors. The only reason I came is to pass the time. But Mr. Garner, your outstanding qualities completely exceed my expectations."Diana seemed to be probing for an answer from Cedric, and yet her tone sounded flirtatious enough. "How is it possible for a man as outstanding as you to attend a matchmaking event in the first place? I thought you'd have a girlfrien
"Huh? Is she starting to put on airs before gaining enough traction and fame?""I don't really get it. Why would an ordinary actress like her be so mean to Ms. Nina?""Did that actress let what little fame she accumulated get to her head? Ms. Nina is Ms. Yakes' student, after all. Doesn't that actress know that she shouldn't be offending powerful people left and right?""I heard from an unknown source that Ms. Blake is apparently childhood friends with Ms. Emerson.""So, she really thinks she can do whatever she wants just because of her friendship, eh?"The two scoops weren't really that influential, but that didn't mean the netizens didn't notice them as well. It was just that Taylor was just a greenhorn actress without any past works on display. The reason why she accidentally became famous was all thanks to Hannah's fame.Thanks to the scoops, Taylor ended up losing many fans. Everyone's interest in "The Search" decreased quite a lot as well.Meanwhile, Taylor was busy com
"What do you know about it?" Henry snapped moodily after grabbing his phone. "Be it positive or negative news, the entertainment industry always needs news. "As long as there's fame, people could care less about the actual context behind the fame. Anyone can rise to their success as long as they're famous."Henry huffed coldly at that, anger soon shrouding his eyes. "I don't care if Dennis becomes famous or infamous. I can't let him rise to his success.""You're a famous director, Henry. Why are you still afraid of him?"Jessica smiled seductively as she leaned into Henry's arms and whispered into his ear, "Taylor's a no-good lazy bum, isn't she? This works in your favor!"Dennis' movie is niche and unpopular, to begin with. Not to mention, he doesn't seem to take his job seriously. No one's going to watch his movie once it's done, so you know he's doomed this time."If his box office results are shitty, then he can't ever rise to fame. You hear me?"Jessica was right. It was j
"I'd much prefer a new assistant. Ramona is no use to me now since she keeps crying all day."Misty frowned slightly, but soon she continued nonchalantly, "Get me an assistant who won't run her mouth. Ugh, Ramona seriously pisses me off with her stupid crying!""Yes, yes. Got it." Jessica's smile became stiff for a moment, but she still agreed to Misty's demands while keeping her voice nice and gentle.Only good-looking people with rich backers could become famous in the entertainment industry these days. Misty was now Jessica's cash cow. No matter how much Jessica despised Misty's attitude, she still had to treat the latter nicely because of Cedric's influence."How are you faring with the shoot so far? Is it tiring for you? Make sure to raise any problems with me if you do encounter any, alright? I'm your manager, so I'll definitely deal with them properly for you.""I'm fine." Misty didn't care about Jessica's efforts to butter her up. She shot a lazy glance at her phone, n
