The next day, Eliza got up before the sky was fully bright and secretly headed to the bathroom to take a pill.After that, she returned to the bed. At dawn, she took a deep breath and plucked up her courage to feel her way toward Chester.Chester opened his eyes, only to see a woman with a pretty face and figure lying on his body.He was soon awake. He held her waist and giggled. “Well, you’re quite proactive today.”“Are you going to give me an apartment?” Eliza hooked her hands around his neck. At that moment, her originally cold face looked like she was fawning on him.“Do you want it so badly?” Chester caressed her slim wrist. “Haven't you earned quite a lot this year?”“Earning money is hard.” Eliza buried her face in his neck. “I’m not as fortunate as Catherine and Freya to be able to have Shaun and Ryan as their boyfriends. Also, they come from impressive family backgrounds.”“You admire them, huh?” Chester’s eyes darkened.“...”Eliza did not say a word, which meant th
“Where’s Cindy?” Chester turned around and asked his assistant.His assistant said with mixed feelings, “Chairman Jewell had someone contact Cindy, but she rejected him. She even went to the police station and refused to come out.”Chester snorted and finally saw the light. Given that Cindy was hiding in the police station, he would not be able to do anything to her even if he planned to send some people to catch her.Hunter said furiously, “Chester, I don’t care if you’re merciless in other times, but you can’t let your mom die.”Unbothered about him, Chester turned around and dialed Cindy’s number.“Chester…” Cindy’s soft voice rang.“You’re quite brilliant.” Chester said with a laugh, “Cindy, I know you’re hiding in the police station, but can you hide there forever?”Cindy gritted her teeth. “I have no choice. Now, I don’t have a job, and I get teased wherever I go. Chester, you can’t possibly ask me to sacrifice to save your mother.”“You haven’t learned your lesson, huh?
Chester most probably took after his grandfather. Anyway, he did not take after Hunter.…Eliza had a photoshoot for a brand this morning, and only in the afternoon was she free to join the crew.Before the shooting, a makeup artist was helping Eliza to apply makeup.At that moment, Heather personally took two cups of juice over. “Miss Robbins, I’m treating everyone to some juice. These are for you and your assistant.”“Thank you.”Although Eliza thought that juice could quench her thirst, she did not really like it. However, since Heather had treated her to the drink, she was too shy to turn it down despite her dislike for Heather.After giving Eliza the juice, Heather was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she sat on the couch at the back. “Miss Robbins, have you watched ‘The Treasured Voice‘?”“I don’t have the time to watch it, but I’ve heard of it,” Eliza answered nonchalantly.The makeup artist said, “‘The Treasured Voice’ is quite popular. I heard the cover songs have ma
“Where is Cindy going to further study?” Eliza was curious.The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Hailey replied, “Film studies at the University of Canberra.”Eliza sighed. “That’s a good place. Not only has it produced many award-winning actors and actresses, but the professors in the field are also well-regarded. It seems like the company is insistent on making her an award-winning actress.” “...”Hailey felt helpless.As Eliza’s manager, Hailey actually knew a lot more. It was impossible for an ordinary person to do film studies at the University of Canberra if they did not take an entrance exam. The university agreed on it only because Jewell Corporation was willing to invest in a library on the campus.Even Eliza was not qualified for that.She could not understand what was so great about Cindy. First, Cindy plagiarised someone’s work. Then, she was known to have a bad character, thus ruining her reputation. She even caused a huge loss to the company du
“In the office.”“Thank you.” Eliza turned around and left.The few employees walked out of the pantry in trepidation and asked their colleague outside, “How long has Eliza been here?”“I have no idea. When I came over, I saw Miss Robbins standing here,” the colleague responded.Those employees trembled in fear, wishing the ground would swallow them up.…In the president’s office.When Eliza entered, Cindy’s manager, Madison Clare, was also present. Madison grinned. “Please thank President Jewell on my behalf. It’s all thanks to him.”“Cough.” Shedrick quickly glared at Madison. “Hurry up and leave. I’m busy.”Madison turned around with a smile and greeted Eliza enthusiastically. “Eliza, what brings you here today? I’ve already had Cindy sign the contract for the period drama the company recommended to Hailey the other day. Thank you for giving Cindy such a great opportunity. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”“You’re welcome.”Eliza nodded and replied nonchalantly.“It’
“So…”Shedrick was so furious that he laughed. “Well, Eliza is a woman too. With the unfair distribution of resources and your bias for Cindy in many ways, Eliza is certainly upset. Why don’t you allow her to set up her own studio? Knowing that Cindy has one but not her, she’s bound to make a scene.”“Eliza is currently the artist who brings in the most income for the company. If you allow her to set up her own studio, she’ll slowly slip out of the company’s grasp and reduce the company’s revenue. If you can, why don’t you make a few more artists famous for the company?” Chester’s icy voice rang out.Shedrick sighed. “Chester, you’re really sc*mmy. After all, Eliza has slept with you for a long time. However, all you do is treat her as a tool to sleep with and make money. To you, is she not even as important as Cindy?”“Cindy is quite useful,” Chester said indifferently. “As for Eliza, you can still try to secure other resources and endorsements for her.”“Fine. Forget it.”Shedr
However, men would not treasure something once they got it.Chester sat down by the window with a long face and took out a cigarette packet from the drawer.Upon seeing that, Eliza sat on his lap. She spontaneously took the lighter from the drawer and covered it to light the cigarette for him.Chester raised his thick, black brow. Then, he looked down at the woman in his arms who lit the cigarette for him. She had thick make-up on her lashes, and her face was heavily powdered. It was indeed pretty and delicate.Nevertheless, the scent of the cosmetic products she used made him feel that she was no different from other women he had been with.The buzz of excitement that had just rushed up inside him somehow wore off.“Why are you wearing such heavy make-up today?” He brushed his hand on her face. When he saw the powder on the tip of his finger, he wiped it on her skirt disdainfully.Eliza was at a loss of words.He was the scum of the earth.“Wash it off.” He pushed her away.
Eliza’s body trembled out of anger. After some time, she said, “Okay. Let me be a shareholder of Felix Media, and I’ll stop arguing with you over this matter.”“Argue?” Chester narrowed his eyes and smiled. “You don’t have the right to argue with me. As for you becoming a shareholder of Felix Media, don’t even think about it.”After that, he started walking out as if he could not be bothered to deal with Eliza.Eliza grabbed his notebook from the table and threw it on the floor. Chester turned around and slapped her. He ordered coldly, “Pick it up.”Eliza raised her head. Tears from her eyes smudged the low-quality mascara that she deliberately put on. “What will happen if I don’t pick it up?”Chester did not have a good temper or patience, and at that moment, he lost it. “Did you forget the reason you looked for me? If you don’t pick the notebook up, don’t talk to me about money or houses. You won’t get any good resources either. Don’t even think about being more superior tha
