Ivy, thanks for the hard work."
After pulling the car door closed, the actress asked, "Where do we go next? Omega Studio?"
Stepping on the gas to drive the car back to the lane, Miss Cora answered, "Ivy, the case is, the CEO's assistant phoned me while you are at the set, informing me that there will be a delay in the shooting of the advertisement. Our CEO has called a sudden meeting with all the subsidiaries of the Silvers. The Jewelry branch which contracted Omega studio is one of them. Actually, you are also asked to return."
"The CEO?"
Ivy's face showed great disbelief as though what she heard was very shocking. The next second though, a very wide smile appeared on it, reminding the older woman of a child promised by her parents to go to an amusement park. "I-I am asked to attend it? O-or to see her? Y-you sure it's really me?"
The extreme happiness emanating from the expression and voice of the beautiful black-haired woman stunne
"Why are you here?"Mild irritation crept up in Ivy's face as she glared at the young man who appeared beside a black-haired hazel-eyed beautiful woman.It was in the hallway leading to Starlight's CEO's office which was currently owned by Agatha Silver, well-known princess of the Silver Corp and also the CEO and the largest shareholder of Starlight Entertainment.The young man had dressed quite smartly in a sky blue button up dress shirt underneath his creamy coffee colored knitted blazer. He paired it with a dark blue denim and white sports shoes though, unfortunately killing the sophisticated impression of his upper garment. His looks which had matured incredibly in the past three years, of course, salvaged the get-up, but unfortunately, in Ivy's eyes, he was still no different from a buffoon.Without stopping his strides, he boredly replied, "You're asking why I have to be here? Beats me, I dunno. Why don't you redirect your question to whoever called
The past three years had been more than enough for innumerable changes to happen. It had been a long period of time. And Eithan honestly sometimes didn't know how to describe how he survived this span of time.He was already past the point of thinking that he had become a villainous man. Agatha Moore, now Agatha Silver, was correct. It seemed as long as one was related to the immoral system, one way or another, he would surely fall into darkness.Ivy Adalio, his colleague and co-host, was also correct. While falling into the abyss, he indeed used the industry as his landing point, doing things unimaginably daring for the former him who probably would not even consider hurting a rat.'No used thinking about it now.'An amused chuckle escaped out of his lips as he beheld Ivy's disappointed expression after they came out of the office. The energetically murderous woman turned very listless due to her expectations being betrayed.
The young man indifferently opened his interface, reading his own stats as he replied, 'I didn't ask for any reward for that. In the first place, why did she even get angry?'He rolled his eyes and started driving to where he would meet up with an acquaintance. After shaking off the unnecessary thoughts in his head, he asked the system,'I didn't know that Baron's already back to Alina. What did he want help with this time? Another murder case?'With his brows furrowed, he told himself, 'Let's hope it's not something done by that woman's witchy clone. Otherwise, I can only say my sorry and condolences to them.'"..."'It's really that witch's work, damn it.'The young man now suspiciously wrapped up in an all-black get-up cursed as he took a glimpse at the pictures shown to him by his older acquaintance, Baron Gomez.The two met up in a fairly unpopulated cafe near the Western Alina Police Station, Friendlies, a humble business now ne
Just as expected, to ensure his participation, a call from Sir Dylan, the current chief secretary of Agatha Silver, came before nightfall, not taking 'no' from him as an answer.Frowning badly, he stared at the call button which had already turned red. The call timer which stopped at 1:03 was so much of an eyesore.'The sorrow of being a contracted moneybag.' He mused, shaking his head as he closed the door to the driver's seat of the company-lent car.He pocketed the phone in his jacket and strode towards the elevator of the underground parking lot. It was in the condominium at Eastern Alina, the opposite side of where he used to live in the city three years ago.'...' Eithan was speechless.If he could only slap it, he would have done so for a thousand times. The useless thing... warning him right after he opened the door and saw a pair of deep maroon high heels neatly staying at the bottom of the shoe rack there.Why didn't it do so at le
It's been ten minutes since the young man gave him a scowl but still fetch his laptop to work on the person she requested information.It's been that long since she began doing what she had always been doing whenever they were together and he was working on something. Watching him.It was because she couldn't understand the codes and numbers flying here and there on the screen. She only understood that numbers and letters could actually form a tsunami there and dizzy people up to death.For example, he saw him typing something like [cin>>num; if(num>10 && num<"what a="" mess!!";="" }="" else="" {=""><"grrrr..!!"; }]="" which="" she="" didn't="" even="" how="" to="" rationalize.="" but="" then,="" in="" a="" blink="" of="" an="" eye,="" it="" went="" to="" the="" left="" tab="" where="" it="" vanished="" after="" a="" second.="" another="" line="" of="" inexplicable="" combinations="" of="" letters="" and="" numbers="" followed="" and=""
Irene had to leave, knowing it would be the wrong time and place to push the matter through.The answer was obvious. He didn't want any change in their current relationship. Despite it looking so business-like and not even so much that of what was between friends, he showed no desire to improve it.There might be reasons behind it. One angle she saw was the death of a childhood friend from three years ago. However, it was quite at the bottom of the list because half a month ago, when she tried to bring that name up, he didn't really show any signs of agitation.So what could it be? Actually, he seemed reluctant to form any close-knit relationship with anyone. He was estranging himself even from his own family. When they were still at Jasper, after earning his first paycheck he immediately moved out of his parent's house and even lessened his time with them. Why?Well, she didn't know. And actually, the only answer she wants to know was for the question, d
Unknown whether he was being punished by the unfair heavens or what, it seemed this week he really wouldn't be getting enough of the sleep that he'd been badly yearning for.Two and a half hours later, his phone rang. Of course, he was dead tired and very fast asleep to notice it. Hence, the one which took it as its mission to alert him about the notification was his system AI. For this reason, it had even gone as far as to play some heavy metal tunes inside his brain for ten minutes straight!In its own words, it was merely trying to prove its awesomeness and usefulness to its own host. And that explained why its playing of the maddening music was so passionate, intense, and at its maximum volume.How did Eithan react to it? Of course, he badly wished to beat up and chase the damn AI out of his mind!Unfortunately, the poor man didn't know if that was even achievable, so he could only curse out and get up from the mattress, furiously reaching out to the
Eithan got off the bed and approached the bedside table. While staring at the numbers flashing on the LCD, he tried to confirm, "Be honest with me, Miss Silver. Is this her attacks?"Her equaled Brienne Middleton, a powerful non-host hostile to both Agatha and Irene."Who knows?""I'm betting that you know. And you're not only intervening or doing anything because you're so bored so you want to see some 'real' entertainment."This didn't only happen once before so he confidently made the remark. Lately, or perhaps, since two years ago when she became so much cold-hearted and more playful than when they were still at HCA, she became so interested in weird stuff, sometimes doing things unpredictable or without any reason behind it.Last time, it was not a death threat, but hacker attacks. Just because she wanted to see how high the skills of her IT experts were, she didn't interfere even when several hackers and cybercriminals were trying to ba
