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
He lifted his hand and pulled her into his arms, settling her onto his lap."So, what did you talk about with Sam?""It was a casual chat."Shawn pressed further, "What exactly did you chat about?""Why are you interrogating me?" Gale looked at him pointedly."I'm checking on my wife, it's only natural."Suddenly, Gale lifted her hand, hooking it around his neck. "I talked to him about something, but I'm not sure if it will work out. If it does, you'll know without me saying. If it doesn't... pfft, but it will definitely work out!"Shawn leaned in. "Why so mysterious?""It's about matters of the heart.""Hmm?" Shawn's tension escalated instantly.Matters of the heart? What kind of relationship could she have with Sam?Gale thought initially that it was too early to spill the beans, but she could not hold it any longer!With Summer not around, she needed someone to share with!Otherwise, it would be too difficult!"Fine, I'm trying to match Sam with a girl. The girl really
"Well, Sam has been my brother, a neighborly brother, a schoolmate brother, and a senior brother in high school. I can call him that!" Gale said.He dangerously squinted his eyes.Gale, without any fear, retorted, "What? I haven't settled the score with you yet!""What score do you have with me?""You privately meet with female celebrities.Shouldn't I be upset?" Gale justified herself.She had also learned Shawn's style.She sighed. "You know, those are female celebrities, they are the cream of the crop when it comes to beauty. They can withstand the scrutiny of a high-definition camera from every angle. Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, incredibly charming...""Especially someone like Lulu, that type instantly drives men crazy. Fair, slender, and capable of being coquettish. When you are alone with her and she tries to seduce you, can you resist? Even if you can maintain composure initially, can you endure it after she continues to get close to you?"Shawn did not bother e
"Don't beat around the bush, okay?" Seeing her impatience, Shawn finally spoke, "I don't care much for the entertainment industry, but if you insist on asking who I admire the most, it would be Ivy Park."He did not say he liked her; he used the word 'admire'. Liking and admiring were different. He could admire many women, but he would only like one woman, which was Gale!"You actually like her. That's quite surprising. I thought men like you prefer delicate, fragile types like Lulu. Then why did you not choose Ivy Park to represent our brand?" Gale asked."I've said it. I don't pay attention to the entertainment industry. I don't know who's the most popular, I haven't seen any of their films or shows. The business department said Lulu is currently popular, recommended her to me, so I'll choose her."In Shawn's work, there was only business. Choosing someone to represent the brand was his job. He would not mix personal preferences and tastes because they did not matter. What matter
