The sun was setting, generously shedding golden rays of light on the ground. Edwin was wearing a dashing black vest, sitting in the CEO office of Worldwide Entertainment Co. reading the financial report of the latest quarter.Worldwide Entertainment Co. was known as the biggest 'stardom factory' in Sapphire City. It has produced numerous big and small actors and actresses, including the recent international award-winning actress. Edwin finished reading the financial report when his assistant routinely reported some important matters to him.However, the assistant noticed that he kept zoning out while he was reporting! This was unusual…Even though Edwin liked to have fun, he had always taken things seriously regarding work. Otherwise, he would not have been able to build such an empire in the entertainment industry. He had a very clear principle: he would never touch the person he worked with.There was a lot of gossip about him taking this actress out or another actress to
She had never taken that night seriously and only took it as a one-night stand.…Cedrick heard from Jolene that Catelyn made a bold promise in the VSA Group. He could not do anything other than give her affirmations. After all, this was her newly wedded wife. That night, he left the two kids at home and brought Catelyn for a candlelight dinner. Rose petals lined the edge of the table. Cedrick's sharp facial features looked soft under the candlelight. He cut the steak into pieces elegantly and passed them to Catelyn. He took over the piece of steak from Catelyn and continued cutting. "Do you need me to say something to the Kingsleys regarding the collaboration with Deluxe International?"Catelyn declined, "No. I cannot always depend on you. Your grandpa will probably dislike me for it again." Cedrick gazed at Catelyn intensely and said, "We can hide it from him. I don't want you to be working so hard.""To be facing new challenges at work is not hard for me," Catelyn re
Lola realized that Catelyn had seen her being molested by the old man. Her face turned green. Lola had always been proud and condescending. She had perceived herself as elegant and classy. However, right now, her makeup was thick and seductive, and she no longer had her initial elegance."Why are you here? Did Cedrick bring you here?"She obviously meant that it was a high-end golf course, and she would not expect Catelyn to be there. Lola looked at her from the corner of her eyes, trying to relive the superiority that she had in the past.Catelyn winked at her playfully. "I'm sure it's better to follow Cedrick than Mister Kingsley."Lola knew that she was making fun of her. She bit on her lower lip and strode away.She could not help but wonder, why did Catelyn tag along?…Catelyn was waiting for Cedrick and Mister Kingsley to finish their conversation, but she received Cedrick's text message.He asked her to go straight over. Catelyn thought about the stack of proposal
"Kitty, the weather is wonderful today. They are discussing business here. Shall we go play golf?"Catelyn knew that she was up to no good.She looked at Cedrick subconsciously. Before Cedrick could say anything, Phillip frowned. "Lola, stop messing around.""I just wanted to have fun with Miss Clark," Lola said affectionately to Phillip.Then, she half smiled and asked, "Or is Miss Clark so pretty that you do not want her to leave?"Phillip's face immediately changed. He observed Cedrick's expressions and warned Lola not to say nonsense. Cedrick was a gentleman who would not approach any woman, and he did not like being joked about in that sense. Catelyn could obviously see Cedrick frowning and did not wish to be stared at by Mister Kingsley, so she accepted Lola's suggestion. Catelyn had already changed, so they went straight to the middle of the golf course.The two women were competing against each other in the course, while Cedrick and Phillip were both sitting under t
The speeding club got closer and closer to Catelyn, and she quickly dodged to the side. Finally, the club brushed against her shoulder and swooped past, but when she backed away to avoid the blow, her ankle was twisted. She felt an acute pain in her ankle.Catelyn used one hand to support her knee and hunched, waiting for the pain to be over. "Oh dear! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! Are you injured?"Lola pretended to be shocked but was somehow satisfied. She threw her golf club away and came to support Catelyn. Catelyn avoided her contact. "I'm fine.""How would you be fine? I saw that I had accidentally hit your shoulder. Take off your clothes, let me help you to take a look…" Lola persistently followed her and was about to tear Catelyn's clothes away. Catelyn's ankle was hurting badly, and she was not in the mood to argue with Lola. Lola was, however, determined to rip Catelyn's clothes apart. She was desperate to see Catelyn being embarrassed. Catelyn knew what Lol
Cedrick held the ice bag in his palm for a little while to warm it up a little bit. Then, he picked up Catelyn's leg and placed it on his knee. Phillip and Lola were both left with their jaws unhinged.He gently rolled up Catelyn's pants, took off her shoes and socks, and placed the ice bag on her ankle.Catelyn gasped at the sudden cold on her ankle.Cedrick looked at her and said, "Hang in there."Catelyn nodded. Phillip and Lola looked equally shocked. Lola was not pleased and asked rhetorically, "Cedrick is so gentle. Not sure what his relationship with Miss Clark is?"Cedrick did not even look up but was focused on treating Catelyn. He did not answer her but asked, "What do you think our relationship is?"Lola almost choked on this question.Even Phillip could tell that the two of them did not have a simple relationship.He suddenly recalled that Cedrick's wedding was forced to call off before this, and it was all because of one woman. That woman's name happened to b
"That's all for now." Lola faked a smile, and her palm was sweaty. Cedrick took a sip of the red wine with an incomprehensible smile."Miss Atherton seems to know well about Italean cuisine. I saw that you picked two similar dishes. I prefer tuscana seafood a little more. What about you?"Lola nodded hastily in agreement. "I like tuscana seafood too. It is so fresh and tangy while chewy at the same time. Everyone should give it a try later."Cedrick's cold glare shot right through Lola."It's a type of soup. How would it be chewy?"Soup? Lola's face turned red immediately. "Right, it is soup. I'm sorry, I just thought about something else.""Cedrick, perhaps Miss Atherton was describing the seafood in the soup, weren't you, Miss Atherton?" Catelyn placed her wine glass down, and looked at Lola."Yes, that was what I meant. The soup is tangy, and the seafood is chewy."Phillip's face sank as he looked at Lola coldly. "Do you not know that I am allergic to seafood?"Lola smi
"What is it?""The long-time competitor of Deluxe International, Walters Company, knew Deluxe was planning to invest in an international holiday resort. They also invested in a piece of land, intending to compete with you. Coincidentally, right next to the location that Deluxe International Holiday Resort selected is a piece of land that VSA Group invested a few years ago."Phillip's eyeballs rolled. He was intrigued and a little agitated. Even though Deluxe International indeed invested in such a holiday resort, they had kept the information secretive. Where did Catelyn get the information?He then thought perhaps Cedrick had told her about it. He had to admit that he was interested in the piece of land that Catelyn mentioned as well. It was right next to the one belonging to Deluxe, only separated by a street. He had heard about it but had not expected the land to be in VSA Group's possession."You can decide to sell this land?""It depends on Mister Kingsley's decision on
