It was not a heavy type of perfume, but it was a scent Vicky was familiar with. After all, Sheila had the same scent on her.She willed herself to ignore Tyler.After opening the window, she was about to walk away when Tyler grabbed her wrist tightly.Vicky stared at the handsome, cold-hearted man. "Can I help you, Mister Hart?"She returned to her cold self, even calling Tyler formally.Tyler's blue eyes bore into her eyes domineeringly, sharply. "Where did you go?"Vicky answered with an indifferent expression, "Does that have anything to do with you?Tyler squinted at this and warned, "Missus Hart, you only returned home after midnight from a strange man's car, yet you have the audacity to ask…what does that have to do with me?"Vicky chuckled. "You don't care when you're out all night dating another woman and have everyone in town gossip about it. Don't act like I had an affair when a friend was nice enough to drop me off… It's not good to have double standards."She swung
"I know Hart Corporation is expanding now and it isn't the right time for everyone to find out that you're in the process of getting a divorce…but I thought about it. We can keep our divorce from the public for now. We can announce it after you settle your enemy and have total control of the situation. What do you think?"Vicky's calm tone was a stark contrast to her pale face. It was like she had never felt clearer and cool-headed before.She glared at Tyler's handsome, cool face while she added, "I know it won't be long because of how capable and amazing you are. Miss Young is an understanding person. I know she'll understand your situation."Tyler looked at Vicky and suddenly smiled in a strange way. "Can't wait to have a divorce, I see. So which phase are you in with that man?"Vicky was stunned for a few seconds before she finally understood what he was saying. She looked angry, "I said we're just friends, yet you and Sheila…"Tyler totally ignored the later part of her sente
Designing costumes for a movie was a big order for Vicky and her studio.Vicky asked, "What kind of costumes does Director Lumber want this time?"Cece answered, "He's working on a movie set in the Regency period. He needs a lot of design for the empire silhouette. He said if we're interested, we can take our designs and go to Room 7001 in Neon Club so investors can have a look today at four in the evening. If the investors like them, there shouldn't be any problem."Vicky was curious. "Investors? The investors are going to take a look at the design?"Cece said, "Director Lumber did mention that this movie is a big production. The capital is said to be over a hundred and fifty million dollars. The production crews and list of actors and actresses taking part in it are top-tier ones, too. Even an experienced director like him can only be an assistant director. Thus, they had strict requirements for the props and costumes. We can't just flash our relationship with Director Lumber and
A few directors and producers entered the room, along with a few S-tier celebrities. Director Lumber ceased his conversation with Vicky immediately at the sight and approached the directors instead, striking up a conversation.It was 4 in the afternoon, and the huge room was nearly packed.Cece looked around and whispered, "Vicky, are the people not here yet? I feel like those celebrities and producers should've all been here by now."Vicky looked around as well. "Maybe some investors aren't here yet."Producers and celebrities were not that important that they could make a lot of people wait for them, after all.While Vicky and Cece were talking, the door opened again.A handsome, cool man walked in with a beautiful, elegant woman. The people who were chatting stopped together and stood up when they saw the pair walking in.Previously, all of them would just smile and greet when the rest of the investors were there. It was far different when these two people walked in."I'm so
After that, Director Lumber opened up the sketches and showed them to everyone.Everyone who looked at the sketchbook was astonished."The designs of the empire silhouette are quite remarkable. It has the unique style of that era that respects the classic, and modern popular fashion elements were merged into the design as well. The designer is quite spectacular!""It does look very promising. Lumber, where did you find such a unique designer?"Sheila was sitting beside Tyler. She also got her hand on a sketchbook. After turning a few pages, she could not help but praise, "Her designs are very special. I've never seen this design style in the industry before."The producer asked flatteringly, "Miss Young, are you satisfied with this designer's work?"Sheila turned to the last page of the sketchbook and nodded with a smile. "I do like it. But, the final decision rests with the production and the requirements of the production."The producer heard it and immediately replied, "As lo
Very soon, Producer Yoder locked his sight on Cece.He took a glass of wine and passed it to Cece. Smiling, he said, "I like the designs you've come up with. I'll be having another movie title after this one, so we can work together on that, too. Come, let's raise a toast to celebrate working together successfully this time!"Cece, ever young and naive, gleefully extended her hand to accept the glass of wine Producer Yoder passed to her.However, Producer Yoder suddenly grabbed Cece's hand and rubbed it back and forth. "Miss Lynn, I guarantee fame and fortune for you both if you work with me."Vicky and Cece were only dealing with women in the market. Thus, they rarely had to deal with a male customer. She had met many annoying female customers, but she never met a male customer who dared to do anything to her.Panicking, Cece's instincts kicked in. She tried to break away from Producer Yoder's hand, but he grabbed her hand so tightly that she could not break away.He even took t
Cece's eyes were red as she feebly whimpered, "Vicky, I…"Director Lumber stood up and said to Producer Yoder, "Yoder, this girl is still young. She doesn't know the rules. Don't argue because of her; it's just a misunderstanding."After that, he gave Vicky a look. "Apologize to Producer Yoder so we can turn the pages…"It was useless to argue right and wrong with this group of people. They would never look at the truth and only helped those who were helpful to them.Vicky understood this and thus quickly said, "I'm sorry, Producer Yoder. Cece just started working not long ago. You are a kind man, after all, so can you please forgive her?"Producer Yoder looked at Vicky from top to bottom. The way he looked was so uncomfortable and gross.Yet, Vicky acted like she did not feel his gaze and kept a smile on her face.Producer Yoder had yearned over her beauty from earlier on. If Vicky was not on the phone, he would not pay attention to Cece.With thoughts going through his mind,
Producer Yoder had been in the industry for far too long and thus knew the best way to talk someone into drinking. With just a look, he could tell Vicky did not have a high tolerance for alcohol.'Once I make her tipsy… Hehe! She's going to be mine!' he thought.Even though Vicky was looking at Producer Yoder's sleazy expression, her mind was thinking back to how cold and heartless Tyler's voice was when he held her. It was like he did not know her.While she was grateful and touched because of Tyler's small action, he spent 550 million to buy Sheila a bracelet. To make Sheila a rising star, he condescended to accompany Sheila to this meeting, supported her, and practically threw over 150 million just to make the movie.Even Vicky, his wife, was shocked by his behavior.She turned and looked at where Tyler was.She could not see his face with how dim the light was, but she could see he had a glass of wine in his hand. He took a sip without caring and could not be bothered to even
