"No changes. I'm surprised you still remember." Gale replied. "We've been friends for almost twenty years, from elementary school to college graduation. How could I forget your preferences and habits?"However, sitting face to face and having a calm and peaceful conversation was actually quite rare. So many people drift apart as life goes by. Sam just smiled and sipped his tea. He had matured a lot; he was no longer the impulsive young man he used to be. Gale looked at herself again; she had changed too. She became quiet and gentle, with a motherly and nurturing aura.They had gone through so much; who could maintain their original appearance?"How have you been lately? I want to hear the truth," Gale asked."Very good, really good. I know you've been doing well too." Sam heard about Gale from the news, gossip, and the whispers in high society. She had two children, shares in the Wood Group, and is married to Shawn. She was the envy of the whole city.However, Gale did not
"Maybe you're not even aware of it. Truth be told, you don't have to personally come all the way here since you have a secretary. However, you still chose to make the trip yourself," Gale said."Have you ever thought that maybe you want to see her and talk to her?""Perhaps, amidst your busy schedule, being around Peach relaxes you?"Sam kept his head lowered. After a while, he said, "She's really quite adorable.""I think so too."Having said enough, Gale decided to stop. Patience was key. It is necessary to break through that layer of hesitation when it comes to love. She could not force the issue all at once. She just needed to seed the thought in his head.Peach had long fallen for him. As long as Sam opened up a bit and took the initiative, the two of them could likely become a couple.Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them, and Peach rushed in."Mr. Carson, I'm sorry. I had something urgent, so I couldn't make it earlier. I asked Gale to entertain you in my place
"At the end of the year, we will be changing the spokesperson for Lovito. Who do you think will become the new global spokesperson for the brand?""Is it going to be a male or female celebrity?""I don't know. It's not something we can decide.""I remember Summer really likes...""Oh, Summer has to decide on this, or Gale will have the final say."They were whispering, but Gale heard them.The spokesperson for Lovito? Her eyes darted around, and she immediately had a candidate in mind! A good spokesperson would boost jewellery sales and represent the brand image. So, Gale thought of a female celebrity, Ivy Park.She was stunning, with delicate features. She had a commanding presence and did not give off an innocent, helpless vibe. She was the queen of product endorsements as a double award-winning actress with millions of fans. The clothes and bags she wore became bestsellers.Ivy Park had not been in the entertainment industry for just two years. In this short time, she had ac
He furrowed his brows slightly. "Are you accusing me?""Fiona said you were meeting a female celebrity, but when I came in, I only saw you. I can't help but suspect you've hidden her away," Gale replied.His expression darkened. "Nonsense, she just went to the restroom.""Oh, that's it then." Gale stuck out her tongue. She believed Shawn, but teasing him a bit was irresistible. How could he possibly be interested in anyone other than her?"Speaking of which, did you meet Sam today?" Shawn, hands behind his back, asked nonchalantly."How do you know? Are you following me?"He casually replied, "There's nothing I don't know when it comes to company affairs."Gale scoffed. "Pfft. Yes, I did meet him. We spent some time alone in the meeting room, and had a chat over tea. What's wrong with that?""It's fine.""Then why ask?"Shawn's gaze fell on her, mysteriously saying, "Wait till you get home tonight."Gale instantly regretted her earlier bravado. The courage she had just displ
Lulu was determined to give Gale a taste of her own medicine. Lulu walked up to Gale and arrogantly asked, "Do you know who I am?"Gale nodded. "Of course, Lulu. I've seen your TV dramas. They are quite terrible. You lack acting skills and a poor command of dialogue. You've been heavily criticized online. You are mentally resilient to be able to endure all that. If it were me, I would have left the entertainment industry long ago, enrolled in an acting class to improve my skills.""How I act is none of your business. I came to Wood Group today because Mr. Wood invited me to sign a contract. I am the next spokesperson for Lovito!""Oh, are you sure you are signing that spokesperson contract?"Confidently, Lulu nodded. "Of course!"She was a current star, backed by the top agency in the entertainment industry, with abundant resources and connections. She could even meet Mr. Wood. Securing the spokesperson position was surely in the bag."Too bad Shawn can't sign you. Given your tem
"I'm a star. I won't endorse any unknown brands; I only endorse the top ones," Lulu replied.Gale nodded and said, "Sure. Then go ahead. The door is over there, take your time, we won't walk you out."Lulu widened her eyes. "Are you kicking me out?""Yes, you just realized?""On what grounds? Do you even know who I am?" Lulu exclaimed."I do, you're a star, so what?" Gale looked at her. "Let me ask you again, are you leaving or not?""You don't have the right! If I am to leave, Mr. Wood should be the one to request it!"Gale chuckled. She had never seen someone who would not cry unless they saw a coffin. "Alright!" Gale looked at Shawn. "say something."Expressionless, Shawn said, "The door is over there, take your time, we won't walk you out."Lulu was dumbfounded. Before Gale arrived, Mr. Wood was polite to her, and his actions and words revealed a charming charisma that quickly captivated her heart. What woman would not be fascinated with such a man standing at the pinnacle
"Perfect timing. Show our guest out," Shawn said."Yes, Mr. Wood." Fiona walked up to Lulu. "This way, please."Lulu's face turned ashen. Now she understood she had no chance left. The opportunity her talent agency fought hard for her was ruined.However, Lulu was not willing to accept it. She did not know where she went wrong; she thought she had done exceptionally well.Lulu thought for a moment. "Mr. Wood, I think I can consider endorsing Florei."Just a moment ago, she was utterly disdainful. Now, she thought, perhaps grabbing any opportunity was better than none. Otherwise, how would she explain to her agent?Gale smiled faintly. "The ship has sailed. Bye."She waved her hand.Fiona, half dragging and half escorting, led Lulu away.Lulu was still in shock. Why did it go wrong? How did it happen?Lulu muttered, "Who is she exactly? Why is she so favored? Well, Mr. Wood is married, and she can openly appear in the company. Perhaps, Mrs. Wood also knows about her; she's bee
Who would have thought Lulu's attitude would be so disdainful? She had no desire to learn more about her. Why? Because Lulu reminded Gale of Winnie during her prime. Why were female stars in the entertainment industry the same? Was there no normal person?Gale could not help but worry. What if Ivy Park had the same temperament? What would they do then?"You let me know. Your opinion matters. However, in our family, major decisions are my responsibility.""This is the company...""The company is also under your control; you hold the majority of the shares."Gale smirked. "So, I can choose whoever I want?""Exactly.""I like Ivy Park. If possible, ask her to come to the company. I want to meet her in person and have a chat," Gale said straightforwardly.She feared that Ivy Park also had an arrogant personality. She could not handle that."Sure, I'll have Fiona get in touch." Shawn nodded.Gale tilted her head, pondering. "If Ivy Park doesn't work out, I'll have to think careful
