At Panari hotel...
The atmosphere was full of celebratory mood as people clicked glasses.
"Guys, this has been the best team I have ever worked with. Everyone played their part well and the shooting went smoothly." Director Guo said.
"I just hope that this movie will do well in the box office. If it can surpass 'The Secret Mission' that will be a huge relief."
'The Secret Mission' has been a big hit and broke many records be it in box office, tickets sales or the screening time.
Anyone who showed their faces in the movie have become famous.
"Director Guo, didn't you say that the president will be coming to today's dinner party?" One of the actors said.
"Yes. The president said that he will attend today's dinner to especially thank you guys for your hard work."
"Since I entered R&S, this will be the first time our president will be attending a dinner party. He has never been one to entertain anyone."
Seeing everyone look at her with envy, Amanda laughed awkwardly. "Haha, I think it is just a coincidence.""Do you know that the president does not like people who use underhanded means to get the resources?" Someone warned."I actually did not think that my dressing will clash with with the president's, maybe I should go and change." Amanda said, as she tried to stand up.Some people thought that she just wanted to create hype using their president's name while others believed that it was just a coincidence."There is not need for you to change your clothes. If you change now, people will only think that you wanted to create hype. And since the president has already arrived, it will be even more rude for you to leave." Jacky said.She had toiled in this industry for so many years and knew that Amanda was saying the truth. The reason she believed her was because Amanda was still considered a new comer, although rumours had it the president personal
People started to let lose and join the dance floor. They let down their guard after seeing how their president was dancing with Amanda. The mood was not as oppressive as they had imagined. After the song finished playing, Richard gave Alex a look. He soon understood and cleared his throat before saying into the microphone... "Let me have your attention again guys. The biggest surprise of the night is coming. Please I want everyone to leave the room in an orderly manner and stand outside. Do not make any noise. This is very important occasion to our president." People were dumbfounded but did not ask any questions. They did as they were told and left the room one after another. "Why is he being so mysterious. Can't he just say what is about to happen instead of keeping us in suspense?" Many people grumbled as they walked outside. When they reached entrance of the hotel, everywhere was coloured red. Red roses were spread everywhere on the ground. They
"Who would have thought that Amanda and our president were a pair?" Those who had experienced the whole thing were still shocked."Someone quickly pinch me. I think that I'm dreaming.""Ounch! Can't you be gentler?" She complained after someone gave her a hard pinch."It is not a dream, okay. Amanda is the president's girlfriend. You can see how much they love each other.""Hehe and there we were, bashing Amanda and yet it turns out the she our lady boss. I feel like my face is swollen from the slap.""But I think Amanda is cool. She has never used her relationship with the president to bully us. She has always been polite to everyone and never once showed disdain or arrogance." Someone from the crowd said.Those who had bullied Amanda and talked bad about her had their faces turn pale from the fear the she will get back at them.If they had known, they would have instead improved their relationship with her instead of ruining it. Now
Amanda's days in the company have been smooth sailing after everyone knew of her relationship with Richard. She could freely go to his office and most of the time they even drove the same car to the company.But only those in the company and their close friends knew of their relationship. Everything has been sealed off from the media."Today you have a magazine shoot, and it might happen a little late. We need to start preparing. The location is within the city, we will head their when the time is right." Linda said. Since she joined R&S with Amanda, she has made great progress in her career and could only thank Amanda for that."Okay. When is the Film Festival Awards ceremony happening?" Amanda asked. She has acted in several movies and TV dramas and she hoped to be nominated in even one."It is almost end of the year, I think it won't be too far." Linda said."We will wait and see if I can get nominated." Amanda said, but her heart was hopefu
Linda slowly regained her consciousness. She touched the place where she had been hit and it hurt like hell.Looking around, she found that their car was still packed but the other car was not there anymore. She did not have time to think about anything as she stood up with shaky legs.She fumbled to the car only to find that no one was there. The door was wide open but neither artist nor Vivian was in the car. She started to panic as she called Amanda's name.Getting no response, she walked to the other side of the car only to find a figure lying there unconscious. She rushed over and found it was Vivian.What happened, where was Amanda?"Vivian quickly wake up!" Linda said, her voice shaking with nervousness and uneasiness."Wake up!" Linda was starting to panic.Vivian woke up after a while. Her eyes were groggy and she tried to remember what happened."You are awake, what happened, where is Amanda?" Linda asked hurriedly.&n
Amanda was still in the car. The speed has reduced since they were out of town and the terrain was not good.She was still trying to distract her kidnappers."Who is your boss?" Amanda asked."You have no right to know who our boss is?" The person who was sitting in the passenger seat said."How much did they pay you. I will pay you double... no triple... you know what I will just pay you however much money you want as long as you let me go." Amanda threw out her bet.From their conversations, she had learned that this people only cared about money and they will do anything to get.They were a gang who did illegal activities to make a living."Are you kidding? Do you know how much money was paid just to get you?" The man in the passenger seat said. He seemed to be the most talkative among the three of them."I'm not kidding, just name your price. As long you let me go I will give you whatever you want."Seein
The person who had been called boss stood up and moved to where Amanda was. He bent infront of her and held her chin up forcing Amanda to look at him. When she saw his face closely, Amanda got the shock of her life and her heart almost stopped beating. Wasn't this Godfrey, the one person who was feared in the whole country. Rumours had it that he was the most dangerous gang leader in the underworld, no one messed with him and remained alive. She had heard of him in her past life. She remembered his face because he was once number one on the criminals wanted list. His pictures were posted everywhere and everyone in the city knew him. The government had put a 100 million bounty on his head. To many, he was known as the godfather of her underworld. But even when she died, the person had not been found. In both her lifetimes, this was the first time she has been in close contact with him. Amanda felt that God must
Seeing them come at her with undisguised expressions and seeing their ugly faces, Amanda felt like throwing up. The moment they tried to touch her, she hit the filthy hand away. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands." Amanda said coldly. "Woman, you better behave. We don't have time to play games with you." The man whose hand had been slapped away said in a sinister voice. "You think that I'm afraid of you. Don't you dare touch me. I warn you to keep your filthy and dirty hands away from me." "Hahaha, what are you going to do? You cannot be thinking that someone is going to save you or you are going to escape right? No one has ever escaped from the hands of our boss! You better cooperate before things get ugly." After the man said that, he tried to touch her again. Amanda took the chance and bit his hand hard with all her mighty. The man winced in pain not at all thinking that the woman will suddenly bite him. His hand tur
...... Two weeks went by in a blink of an eye. Today was Amanda and and Richard's seventh wedding anniversary. Richard woke up early to do nothing but admire his wife's perfect feature. Time has not left a mark on her face and she was addictive to look at. Amanda opened her eyes slowly and was met by a set of deep, full of emotions eyes staring right at her. "Happy 7th marriage anniversary my queen." Richard said with a smile. "Huh?" Amanda had just woken up so her mind was slow to process. "Happy 7th marriage anniversary, my queen." Richard repeated himself. After realising what he was saying, Amanda was shocked. So much had passed but it all felt like yesterday. Her eyes teared up. "Thank you for providing me with a home I thought I would never have." Amanda said emotionally. "That you too, for everything and for betting your whole life on me." Richard said, kissing her forehead lightly. "You are the best husb
Evelyne had been rushed to the hospital where she woke up shortly after her wound was treated. She directly went to see her daughter even though the doctors had told her to rest for a little more. Amanda had given birth to twins and she was now resting in the VIP ward. Due to the exhaustion from pushing the babies, she fainted right after giving birth and she was yet to wake up. Richard was worried about her and had not left her side. "Doctor, will my wife be okay?" Richard asked. "Of course. She just fainted from being exhausted. Her due date had not arrived so she was not mentally prepared, she should be waking up before tomorrow morning." The doctor said. Although Richard had asked that same question hundred times, the doctor still answered him patiently. "Can I see the babies?" "Yes you can, after they have been cleaned." The doctor said.. Richard was excited about his wife giving him two cute babies, a
She greeted everyone, but all of them except grandma Catherine scoffed at her. She did not care about their attitude and sat down. Making herself feel at home. "How is Amanda?" Catherine asked with concern. "Richard called just now and said that there was some accident at home. She was rushed to the hospital. If not for the fact that I was almost here, I could have gone immediately." Hearing that his daughter was in the hospital, Peter had no time to waste. He knew that Evelyne won't be staying for long. It was good enough that she managed to come. "Okay, since everyone is here, let's begin." Peter said as he took out some documents from his briefcase and distributed them among the people who were sitting in the living room. They did not understand what and why Peter was giving them the documents but never the less, they took them. Skimming through them, everyone was shocked. "Uncle, what is the meaning of this?" Jason wa
The following day, Amanda woke up at midday. She had slept too well without any dreams.She was greeted with a pair of deep eyes staring at her. She almost screamed out loud because she was still disoriented from her sleep. Only after she heard the familiar scent did she calm down."Hey, aren't you going to work?""Nope. My paternity leave starts today. I will accompany you until you give birth.""But there are still some more days until delivery.""It's okay. I covered upto three months work. If there is nothing serious, I told Thomas not to disturb me.""Bu.....""No buts. Everything is settled don't worry."Seeing that he was insistent, Amanda could only surrender.Richard looked at her with a deep gaze."What is it?""Err!" Richard was embarrassed to say what was on his mind.He had actually not gotten a wink the whole night and kept thinking about what Amanda had told him.She was r
After thinking about what the doctor told her during their last visit, Amanda blushed. She never knew that she will apply the method today.She had kept mum about it but seeing how much Richard had done for her, and the fact that he was still respecting her even when he was on the verge of losing control, Amanda felt even more guilty. Although she felt guilty, the feeling of being loved and treasured intensified in her heart. She too wanted to make the man who loved her feel loved.She looked at the man who was enduring his feeling for her sake and touched his face gently."Do you want to say hi to your little bun?" Amanda asked."What?" Richard was focused on fumbling with her breasts that he did not hear her well."Do you want to talk to your little bun?" Amanda repeated her question, this time in a seductive voice."Yes." As Richard said that, he placed his ears on Amanda's belly, probably having not understood what Amanda was imply
When Vallery came back, she found her mother lying weakly on bed. Her face was ashen. She did not see her father anywhere."Mom, where is dad?" Val asked, not caring that her mother was not in the right condition.Although she has been pretending to be sick, but because of what Peter had said, she was now truly sick.Getting no reaction from her, Val became vexed."Mom, where did dad go?" She only cared if her scheme had succeeded or not.Not being able to stand her interrogation, Juliana opened her mouth and answered weakly, "he already left.""Did you get the number?""No."Vallery immediately flared up."Is there something that you are really capable of? All you know is mess things up. I have never seen such an incompetent mother who could not even do something for her daughter." With that, she threw the lunch that she had painstakingly used her money to buy and walked out of the door angrily.Her mother was st
Juliana hunged up the phone to plan her next strategy but to her dismal she could not find where Evelyne lived no matter how much she tried.But that was because Peter had blocked her people from finding out where Evelyne lived.Peter had even stopped coming home and Juliana could not stomach the humiliation, all she could was go to William's family almost everyday to spend time with Liz and her daughter."Mom, why are you here again?" Vallery asked when she saw her mother again.For the past three months, apart from coming here to vent her anger all day, Juliana did nothing else.Even a simple assignment as finding where Amanda and her mother stayed was hard for her.Vallery could not help but feel displeased. She had been doing all she could to return to the limelight and even did some charity, but it seemed like everything was going down the drain. No matter what she did, nothing seemed to work.And now her mother has come again to
The following morning as expected, Amanda was trending in all news platforms. Be it Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Amanda was the highlight.Her popularity had skyrocketed and everyone was sorting her to be their ambassador. Movie scripts piled up and even television shows and dramas were not left behind.Amanda was overwhelmed by the sudden popularity."Ooh my! It feels good to be popular overnight." Amanda lamented as she laid in Richard's arm lazily."Do you want to remain in the limelight and maintain your popularity?" Richard asked, basking in the feeling of hugging his wife."But..." Amanda bit on her lower and did not finish her statement. But Richard understood her worries..."Don't worry about that." Richard said as he kissed her on the neck.Vallery on the hand was expecting to ride on Amanda's popularity, but after looking through and seeing that her name was not mentioned anywhere, she did not know how to take i
Amanda eyed her coldly. She has never forgotten her past memories. The day that Juliana showed her father those pictures. Claiming that her mother had cheated on him.No matter how much they tried to explain, her father could not listen to them. Vallery and her mother were gleeful as they helped throw their stuff outside.That was when Amanda saw their true nature. After she and her mother had treated them like family.They were chased out with nothing, not even a single penny.She had not forgotten how Vallery had treated her when she was her assistant. How she had entertained those investors on her behalf because she could not drink.Amanda remembered all of them. After her rebirth, she had vowed to take revenge on everyone that made her life hard in her past life. She was consumed with rage and all she wanted was revenge.But after meeting Richard and testing the sweetness of living a happy life, she changed her mind. There wa
