“I came to send Georgie to work. At noon, after we ate together, she sprained her right ankle. She has just received treatment in the hospital. At first, I wanted to send her home to rest, but being the workaholic she is, she refused… I had no choice but to take her here,” Henry Armstrong said.When Xyla Quest heard this, her heart instantly tightened. “Was it very serious?” she asked.Henry shook his head. “It’s not exactly serious. It’s just a minor sprain.”“In that case, I’ll go up and check on her…” Xyla said.“Okay, go ahead… Take good care of her. I’ll take my leave now,” Henry said.After that, Henry waved his hand at Xyla cheerfully and walked away with a lazy stride.Once Henry had left, Xyla took her private elevator and quickly arrived at the CEO’s office.Xyla politely knocked on the door before pushing the door to enter.At that moment, Georgie Clementine was sitting at her large desk, carefully reading through some documents.When Georgie saw that Xyla was here,
“Various major brands have issued statements saying they will terminate contracts with artists from Sun-N-Shine Entertainment.”When Xyla Quest saw the news popping up on her phone, Xyla felt satisfied, but her face remained calm.After clicking on the news, she saw that Sun-N-Shine Entertainment was in all sorts of bad situations.All their artists’ endorsements had basically been cancelled, and the artists’ wealthy sponsors announced that they were being replaced.Some of the dramas and movies that were originally scheduled to be starred by their artists had also changed the casts.Advertisers and the producers of dramas and movies decided to change casts because they didn’t want to take on the risk of an eventual mass boycott of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment’s artists.Meanwhile, Sun-N-Shine Entertainment’s share price had also dropped significantly for the same reasons.Seeing this, the corners of Xyla’s mouth once again unconsciously lifted charmingly.In the comment section a
After answering the last call from LV, Georgie Clementine’s phone finally stopped ringing.Georgie moved her neck around tiredly while she placed her phone gently on her desk. “Xyla… Now, all the endorsements that Sun-N-Shine Entertainment lost have found their way to us…” She looked at Xyla and said.“All the major high and mid-range brands have come to us. Most of the luxury endorsements are targeted at Josh Batton, while some mid-range endorsements are looking for Morty Wayne and Jay Corben, who have recently been in the limelight.“Also, several other artists who were slandered this time have also been given opportunities… In short, there’s something for everyone… Right now, the only company that has resources to compete with our company is King Entertainment,” Georgie added.Xyla Quest nodded in satisfaction. “Your foot isn’t in the best state. Ask the subordinates go to these meetings,” she said.“People are saying that they want to meet with me to discuss. I must meet them
After saying that, Xyla Quest picked up her phone and left the office without any further delay.Georgie Clementine stood up slowly with one hand pressing against the table. “Let’s go…” She said.When Henry Armstrong saw this, he immediately reached out and picked her up like a princess again.This made Georgie feel as if her heart was coming up to her throat again.She subconsciously frowned a little. “Put me down…”Henry looked down at her with a smile. “Enough. With your injured ankle, you’d hurt miserably if you walked on your own. Why are you acting so tough?” He said.Georgie remained silent.Seeing that she became quiet, Henry smiled from ear to ear.“When are you going to get rid of that confession advertisement?” Georgie asked.“I booked it for half a month… I’ve already paid. How could you ask me to cancel it? I can’t get the money back,” Henry said.“30,000 dollars every ten minutes of advertisement, and yet, you have booked it for half a month at one go. You reall
On a whim, Xyla Quest took a picture of the dishes on the table and uploaded it to Weibo with a paragraph of text. “The happiest thing is to have a hot meal waiting for you when you get home…”“What are you doing? Let’s eat,” Stanley Batton said.“Yeah, alright.” With that, Xyla took a spoonful of steamed sea bass and savored it.The sea bass Stanley cooked was the best sea bass she had ever eaten. It was lightly flavored, tasty, and didn’t have a fishy taste to it at all.“How does it taste?” Stanley asked while he peeled shrimps.“Mmm.” Xyla immediately gave him the thumbs up.Stanley affectionately ruffled her hair. “Well, eat some more…”“Okay…” Xyla’s smile widened. “How are you feeling today? Are you feeling unwell?”“No…” Stanley responded softly. He slowly put the peeled shrimp into her bowl.Xyla naturally picked up the shrimp and ate it in small bites. “That’s good. Now, our company’s crisis is considered completely solved. Not only that but by taking advantage of Su
‘#Mary Sullivan expressed her intention to make her debut#’.When Xyla Quest saw the name, she subconsciously frowned.Out of curiosity, she tapped on the hot topic and took a glimpse at it.At the top, there was a video of Mary dancing that was posted two hours ago. There was a caption. “With this standard, is it possible to debut as an idol and join a girls’ group?”Xyla subconsciously tapped on the video.Right after that, Mary was seen wearing a revealing dress while she danced in the street.In the video, Mary seemed to dance very well.Indeed, Mary had been learning how to dance since she was a kid. Her moves were very powerful, and her body seemed to be very flexible too.Her body and her face looked good, too.If she hadn’t had so much dark history, it wouldn’t have been a huge problem for her to make a debut.Unfortunately, she had too dark of a past. It was nearly impossible for her to become an idol.Xyla really felt that Mary was over-estimating herself.Netizen
Once Stanley Batton sat down, he naturally sat Xyla Quest on his lap while he rested his chin against her shoulder. “What are you looking at?” He asked.Xyla naturally leaned into him and moved her phone screen closer to him. “Look at this.”“Has Alex officially transferred?” Stanley asked.“Yeah, it’s all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, Henry wouldn’t have been willing to give Alex to me. Now, everyone is calling Henry out online… I wonder how he’ll feel when he reads all that,” Xyla said.“He won’t mind,” Stanley said.“Really?” Xyla looked earnestly into his eyes.“Well, on his side, he’s already agreed with a strong top-lane solo player. That guy will join their team this summer…” Stanley said.“Who? Is it Ice Cream?” Xyla asked.This person was a talented teenager who had suddenly appeared recently.In Country H’s server, he was nearly unbeatable. He was courageous in battles and controlled his characters very well. In fact, he somewhat resembled Alex back in those
In the visiting room, Xyla Quest sat quietly in a chair. She was playing with her phone while she waited for Emily Quest.In front of her was a thick glass wall that divided the large space into two parts; internal and external.Not long after Xyla sat down, Emily was escorted over by two prison guards.Emily’s hair had already been cut very short. She was wearing a gray prison uniform with an orange vest on the outside.Without any makeup on, Emily was a sore sight. She didn’t look like her usual glamorous self.The way Emily looked at Xyla was full of hostility. It seemed almost as if Emily was a ghost that crawled out of hell’s pit.Even through the thick glass, Xyla could still feel Emily’s body was emanating a murderous aura.Xyla was still as calm as ever, and her heart was beating steadily.Xyla looked indifferently at Emily before slowly picking up the small receiver in front of her and placing it by her ear.Emily was soon pressed onto a chair. She also picked up the
Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft
“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while
Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e
Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif
Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o
Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.
A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired
Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes
Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
