"Oh, Sharon, I didn't expect your acting skills to have improved so much. So much so that you're willing to take a proper beating for the scene. It looks like without the ephemeral halo of "Miss international superstar", you're actually honing your acting skills. Not bad. This is praiseworthy. I'll tell Gilbert later and allow you to return to GK Pictures.""You!""Alright, Sharon. Don't you see Kisa praising you? Moreover, didn't you beat that girl up as well? Consider this matter over then. More importantly, we've smoothly completed the scene.""Director...""Alright, your faces are swollen, so let's call it a day here. We're down to the last few scenes, so work hard, everyone. And, try to wrap everything up within a month."The director clearly could not be bothered to deal with Sharon and just buried himself in tinkering with his camera.So, the latter could only seethe resentfully at Kisa.Her already slightly misaligned face was swollen with two more slap marks, and she lo
He did not pay much attention to his birthmark in the past. He just thought that he was just born with it, and there was nothing special about it.And, since his older brother had the same birthmark, he did not mind it at all.But, ever since the day Kisa asked him about the birthmark, and now that he had taken another look at it, he felt something strange.He raised his hand and gently caressed the birthmark.'Did mother have it?'It seemed like he would need to ask his father about it when he got back.When he came out of the bathroom, Adrien was still hugging and making out with Carolyn.Peter really hated that the woman degraded Adrien's standing.Anthony had already left a long time ago. He was probably unable to stomach the scene.Peter frowned and looked away, as he walked toward the elevator."Peter, where are you going?""Going out for a spin," he replied flatly.Adrien then let out a genial smile, "So be it, then. But, don't cause trouble. As for Jolina, it's prob
It was the secretary by the door."Ma'am, Mr. Kooper is not inside. He is in the meeting room having a meeting with the management team.""Then, I'll wait for him inside.""Uh..." The secretary looked troubled. "Mr. Kooper had ordered that no one, aside from Mr. Park, may enter his room when he is not around.""...Oh, I see."Kisa smiled faintly and said, "Then, I'll wait for him at the lounge."Although she was smiling, a chill crept into her heart.'It looks like I'm no better than an assistant in that man's heart.'But, if I can't enter his office at will, then I'll never get my hands on GK Pictures' secrets. And, when the time comes, I won't be able to take over GK Pictures smoothly.'As Kisa entertained the thought, she suddenly bumped head-on into someone."Sorry, sorry..."As the man apologized, he bowed down to pick up the documents that had fallen on the floor.However, the voice sounded somewhat familiar.Just as the person looked up, Kisa realized that he was Sh
Kisa smiled, "I'm afraid not. I might be able to handle some other matters, but I'm afraid I'm not authorized to sign anything. Even if I did, it probably wouldn't be valid.""It won't. Mr. Kooper said before that your signature would be considered valid. After all, you're his wife, the closest person to him. Even Mr. Davian can sign on his behalf, so why can't you?"When Shaun brought this up, Kisa felt a little self-deprecated.'So, I'm really no better than Davian in that man's heart.'"Ma'am, please don't hesitate. Just help me sign this. I just arrived at GK, and I really want to leave a good impression on Mr. Kooper. I really can't lose this business."Shaun looked as though he was about to go down on his knees for her, looking extremely anxious.Remembering that Shaun was Jensen's special assistant and was loyal to Jensen, she said, "Alright, then. Let me have a look at the documents first.""You don't have to be overly thorough about it. Mr. Kooper had already seen it be
Gilbert frowned in displeasure and clasped her hand. "You're my wife. Why would I have my guard up against you? It's just that we haven't reconciled before this, and I didn't expect you to come to the office during work hours, so when I instructed the secretary, I forgot to mention you. I will tell the secretary later."Since he spoke so earnestly and explained so quickly, Kisa decided not to make an issue out of it. "So now, are we going out for dinner, or are we going home?""Wait a minute. I'm not off work yet. I still have some business to take care of.""It's six o'clock. Isn't it after working hours?" Kisa got up and said casually.Gilbert stroked her messy hair with amusement. "Six o'clock? Are you in a sleepy stupor, or you don't know how to read the clock?"Kisa subconsciously looked toward the clock on the opposing wall, and her eyes widened. "How is it possible that it is only four thirty? Is the clock broken?"Gilbert took her out of his office. "The clock isn't broke
Gilbert pulled Kisa over to his desk just as she walked into the CEO's office."What's up?" Kisa looked at him in surprise.Gilbert pushed a stack of documents in front of her and said with a smile, "Sign this for me so that we can leave early."Davian was sitting at the coffee table, sorting out other documents. He smiled at Kisa when he heard their conversation. "Oh yes, Mrs. Kooper, you can help. There are so many things going on lately—the acquisition of J & K Film Group and the internal affairs of GK. Mr. Kooper and I are up to our necks in paperwork.""But, I'm not familiar with GK's business. I'm afraid—""It's just signing documents. It's easy," Gilbert said, pulling a chair over for her.Speaking of signing documents, it reminded her of the documents that Shaun had just asked her to sign. So she asked Gilbert, "Is my signature valid?""You are my wife, and Davian is my special assistant. Your signatures are valid as long as they are stamped."Kisa nodded her head. She
Gilbert looked at her in bewilderment. "What are you doing? You are about to put your face on the table."Kisa grinned wryly. "Gilbert, were you shy when I complimented you on your good looks?""Heh," the man grunted proudly. "There are plenty of people complimenting me on my good looks. Why would I be shy?""Then, why are you blushing, and your ears are red too?""Is that so?" Gilbert tugged at his tie unnaturally. "Maybe it's the air conditioner." As he said that, he unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves. Just then, Kisa caught a glimpse of the watch on his wrist. The watch was not the one he usually wore but the one she gifted him; the one he had mercilessly slapped to the floor last time. She spent a long time picking out that watch, so she recognized it right away. He did not appreciate it at the time, and so she thought he had thrown it away."Why are you still wearing it?"Gilbert was flabbergasted. "Wearing what?""The watch. Didn't you dislike it? Give it back
Jolina turned her face, not needing his sympathy or for him to be her champion. "Get out!" She bellowed at him.Peter did not get angry like he usually would. Instead, he just pointed his chin toward the coffee table. "I got you some medication. Rub some on the affected areas."Jolina frowned, wondering how Peter found out that she was attacked. Suppressing her doubts, she walked over, picked up the medication on the coffee table, and threw it back to him. Then, she said in an icy voice, "I don't need it. Please get out." She loathed him. It was his deception and schemes that caused her to lose the person she loved the most. She trusted him in the beginning and truly considered him a friend. But, it turned out that he had been up to no good from the very beginning.Peter's face sank, but he still held back his temper."Haven't you had enough fun after all this time? Why do you still refuse to let me go?" Jolina said.Peter slowly raised his eyes and looked at her. "You always thou
