"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
Now that Ramona finally got to leave the production crew, she felt that she could finally see the light of tomorrow. While she was immensely relieved, she couldn't help but burst into tears.Ramona was a naïve and gullible young woman. She had no idea that not every antagonist would blatantly display their vile side in this world.Naturally, she didn't know that the one she was currently thanking would force her into a situation so desperate that no one could save her."That's enough. Stop crying already." Jessica frowned impatiently at the sight of the crying Ramona.She continued impassively, "That's just how Misty is. She's not mean at all. Don't take her behavior to heart."You've worked hard during this period, so you're now entitled to a paid vacation. You should take this time to relax."Ramona didn't expect the company to have given her such nice compensation. She nodded heavily in response. "Thank you, Jessica."She was so grateful that she didn't know what to do to rep
"Did you hit your head?" The man chuckled disdainfully. "I never expected that a manager as wise and capable as you would do something that dumb.""What do you mean by that?" Jessica perked up immediately as she turned to look at him."A man can do anything for a woman as long as he likes her. Similarly, he can abandon her in a heartbeat once those feelings have receded."The man smiled as he tightened his grip on Jessica's hand for a moment. He continued smugly, "I received intel from a trustworthy source that Cedric Garner is about to get into a business arrangement with Diana Sorsby from the Sorsby family."Ms. Sorsby is no ordinary woman, you know. That diva you're managing is nothing before her."Was Misty nothing before Diana?Of course, she was worth nothing before the Sorsby family, which was one of the symbols of ultimate wealth.Jessica frowned at first, but soon her brows relaxed. A smile bloomed on her face as well. "Excellent! I'm sick and tired of Misty's diva-like
"I …" Darren opened his mouth, finally realizing how hoarse his voice was.His hand hovered inches above Hannah's waist. He wanted to touch her, but at the same time, he dared not do that."I know you didn't do it on purpose."Hannah decided to take the initiative this time by tightening her arms around Darren's waist. She rested her cheek on his chest while nuzzling against him affectionately. "Honestly speaking, it doesn't hurt that much."It seemed that Hannah had absolute control over Darren's emotions.Darren let out a silent sigh before resting his chin on Hannah's head once again. He could smell a light waft of lemon-scented shampoo coming from her hair, prompting him to breathe it in.A hint of aggrievedness tinged his tone as he explained, "The Moores only invited you to the banquet."They didn't extend the invitation to Darren.What did this mean, one might ask?If the Moores intended to affiliate themselves with Winchester Group, they'd have to invite Darren, who wa
"Nigel keeps reminiscing about his old friendship with you, Mrs. Winchester. He was worried that you wouldn't show up today."Catherine continued smiling sweetly as she addressed Hannah in an overly familiar fashion. "Oh, Mrs. Winchester! Nigel and I are so happy to see you here!"She kept hinting that she was Nigel's actual fiancée the whole time.Nigel's expression darkened immediately. He yanked his arm away before stepping away from Catherine. In an awkward tone, he said, "Stop it, Cath."A flash of embarrassment streaked across his eyes at that moment.Hannah was amused by the engaged couple's interactions. Catherine kept boasting about how amazing her beloved fiancé was. At the same time, she kept thinking that all the women out there were vying for Nigel.Meanwhile, Nigel put on a big show of wanting to stay away from Catherine, but he just didn't have the heart to commit to that action.What a hypocrite."It's only natural for Mr. Winchester and me to attend your engage
