It was palpable from how ballistic he was that Xavier took the unexpected turn of events very ungracefully. He was practically shouting in the meeting room until his face turned blue.To Christophe, his bluster was so embarrassing it raised his ire. As his anger ballooned, Christophe scowled, taking a deep breath in an effort to press his flames from erupting out of him while so many of his business acquaintances were watching.“Xavier Godfrey, behave yourself and sit down!” he chided.“I won
Xavier was stunned. "But… I thought when Damon left his position as the CEO, I would be the new CEO of the Godfrey Group…"Christophe sighed and shook his head, rather disappointed.He had always loved his youngest son the most because the child was a sweet talker and always knew how to make others happy since he was young.However, Xavier had never been up for it. Although he was smart, he had never been good at studies since he was a child. He had only managed to enter a prestigious univers
Xavier smiled bitterly. "Sis, you’re right. I was too naive. Do you think that I’m actually a failure?"Jeanette quickly shook her head. "No, I've never thought about you that way. You shouldn't look down on yourself, okay?"Xavier shook his head. "Damon is outstanding. I’ve never been better than him in anything since we were kids. Compared with him, I’ll always be the most incompetent one."Jeanette frowned. "You shouldn’t think like this. You’re not like that, Xavier. You have your own str
However, it was bound to happen.As Mimi was lying on the bed with a frown, tossing and turning, her phone suddenly rang. She shuddered when she saw her manager’s name on the phone screen.Goodness! What should she do? Could anybody save her?At that moment, all Mimi wanted to do was to throw her phone out of the window so that she did not need to hear that ringtone ever again.Still, she knew that she could not do that. Her manager must be furious. If she did not answer the call, her fate would be even worse.She could only prepare herself for a moment and gulped before picking up the phone."Hey…" she said cautiously.She could instantly hear her manager's angry voice from the other end of the phone."Mimi! Look at what you did! You actually got on the news!" he yelled so loudly that his voice became hoarse.Mimi's eyes suddenly became red. "I'm sorry, but it really isn’t like what the media claimed. I don't have any problem with this alleged pay dispute at all.""What’s th
After Elias hung up the phone, he felt guiltier the more he thought about it.After all, it was his fault that Mimi had ended up being caught in such a difficult situation. Should he call to check on her? Apologize to her?Mimi must be in distress, worrying about all the scandals. He should call and tell her that he would help figure out a solution for her so that she did not need to worry about it anymore.As Elias thought about this, he picked up his cell phone, searched for Mimi's phone nu
…As night fell, the entire city was covered in bright lights.When Zeke made it to the restaurant that Elias had made a reservation, it was already past ten o'clock at night. As soon as he entered the door, the waiter took him into the private room Elias had reserved.This was the first time they had met in years. Although it felt a little unfamiliar, their friendship still has not changed.As soon as Zeke walked through the door, he saw Elias. He still looked as wild as he did before. He w
"Obviously, it’s because I like it. Burnham, don’t you remember? Back when we were still in school, I told you that it was my dream to become a director. Actually, the company that I initially worked at was pretty well. The CEO thought highly of me, but my life felt empty."Although the salary was high, I wasn’t happy. I think the most important thing for a person is to never live a life they will regret because we only have one life. If I hadn’t even given it a try, I’d just grow old and have
"Her role was decided very early on, and her manager promised me that she’s humble and responsible. I think her acting skills are pretty good, so I saved the role for her. Who would’ve thought it would end like this? Her absence has caused chaos for our crew. Where can I find another actress in such a short time?"Elias asked cautiously, "Why didn’t the actress show up to filming? Actually, if you really need to find an actress, you can just give her another chance.""I heard from her assistan
