THAT was Abel’s take away from the scene just now?! And Ruth understood it perfectly!Abel walked on with a dark look on his face. Ruth followed behind and tried her best to smile apologetically. She tugged at his sleeve and coaxed him gently.Apollo was speechless, but he silently thought they were too eccentric a couple.......The press conference upstairs was a tumultuous scene. Leroy’s new line had yet to be introduced, but no one was interested anymore. They were all shocked by Luna’s scandalous private affair.In the VIP lounge, Notus flew into a rage and slammed the table. “What the hell is going on?! Who leaked the photo? How could there be such a mistake?”The person-in-charge lowered his head and as he endured Notus’s wrath. “We’re not sure, either. It was so strange just now. We couldn’t even stop it. We could only unplug the whole system!”“You couldn’t top it? Was there a ghost possessing your equipment?! I think all of you are...” Notus suddenly paused.Didn’t so
At the launch of Seema’s new line, many public figures from both jewelry and fashion industries were in attendance. Several media outlets were also present.Although it was not as lively as the press conference upstairs, it was not small either.At first, Alex was helping Dulcie monitor the situation there. Later on, when the designer from Blakewell Corporation arrived, Alex flagged him over to substitute for him so that he could run to a corner and grab his laptop.At some point, Dulcie got bored and quickly walked to Alex’s side.“What are you hiding here for? Demz is about to go on stage, and Ruth isn’t here yet. I want to see what’s happening upstairs!”Alex turned off his laptop to hide what he was doing. “Don’t worry, she’ll be down soon. Let’s go watch Demz!”Dulcie was confused.Not long after Dulcie and Alex took their seats, Ruth and Abel showed up.Dulcie’s eyes flickered. She was worried that people would suspect something if the two of them walked together. Just as
Dulcie kindly answered, “Firstly, Miss Demi is very dedicated to her work. Secondly, Alex is a fan of hers. After interacting with her, I feel that Miss Demi’s temperament is very suitable for our work.”“Does it also have anything to do with the relationship rumors about Miss Demi?” The reporter was asked bluntly.Dulcie paused for a moment and pursed her lips. She looked cute on the outside, but when her aura was fully released, she was oppressive. She stared fixedly at the reporters below with that oppressive aura.The room was filled with dead silence. Demi smiled and said, “That is a private matter and has nothing to do with today’s press conference. Everyone should pay more attention to the new work.”When she said this, understanding dawned on the reporters. It was such a good opportunity to clarify, but Dulcie was very tight-lipped on this and gave them nothing.There were some cameramen at the side who subtly swept over the first row of VIP seats. Apollo was seated among
There was nothing that Dulcie could say. She was filled with too much regret.Alex should not have been allowed to go on-stage that night. The idiot was incapable of keeping his mouth shut!She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. “Do you know what beating a dead horse means? That’s what’s happening right now.”Alex did not understand. He only realized that something was wrong when he saw how angry Dulcie was. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly said, “Shall I blacklist them and stop all discussion?”Dulcie was speechless. Alex’s mild suggestion sounded more like he intended to delete the commenters’ social media accounts. Did Alex become a hacker just because he could and not because he was smart?But it was not a bad idea. Dulcie turned to look at Ruth. “What do you think?”Ruth leaned back in her chair with a laptop in front of her and a pen in one hand. She shook her head and said, “Look at the sudden rise in criticism. Most of them are from alterna
At the conference room table, everyone looked at each other.Dulcie was the first to react. She asked, “Is she going to Notus?”The corners of Demi’s lips twitched. “I don’t think so. I took a glance just now and saw that she was messaging Abel.”“Why is Abel an obstacle?”“It’s probably because he hasn’t calmed down yet.”......In a meeting room at Blakewell Corporation, the public relations department had just finalized their plan and was about to take action regarding Seema getting kicked out of the domestic market. However, Abel suddenly spoke while looking at his phone.“Let’s wait and see how their workshop responds.”The PR director was dumbfounded.They had received a notice from Kallan a long time ago and were paying attention to public opinion regarding the press conference. They would not allow any comments that smeared Blakewell Corporation or insulted Ruth.But as it turned out, the biggest hot topic on the Internet was Seema. All the major marketing accounts we
Abel thought. “This woman might be the death of me.”Didn’t he express his stance after they met Janet the other day?He took a deep breath and changed the topic. “If I don’t interfere, can you handle it yourself?”Ruth replied confidently, “Of course!”“Fine.”After he hung up, Abel instructed Kallan not to interfere in the matter. He only wanted the cooperation with Seema to progress as usual.Kallan, who had worked for Abel for so many years, believed that he was very good at figuring out Abel’s thoughts. But this time, Kallan was stumped and could not comprehend Abel’s intention.“Huh?”Abel looked up at him. “Something’s wrong. Why isn’t everyone working? Has the sports center project started yet? Can the issues with the partners be resolved? Is the project planning for the suburban area ready?”Kallan nodded. “I’ll look into these at once.”As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly fled the office.Something must have happened between Abel and Ruth. If Kallan stayed
Erica examined the statement carefully. “You’re right! I can’t even accept being plagiarized, and I’m just a small fry. Why is he taking it so lightly? What should we do now? How do we ‘press the attack relentlessly’?”Ruth did not say anything more, but instead responded through her actions. Just as the online outrage was reaching its peak, with many demanding that Seema leave the country, Seema’s workshop issued a statement.[We have a different perspective from Mr. Leroy on this matter. Creativity is free, but stealing someone else’s ideas for inspiration is shameful. Our previous inaction does not mean we will close one eye this time. We will thoroughly investigate this matter.]The response immediately garnered more attention. At first, Seema’s fans tried to defend them. However, as the insults grew louder and the workshop remained silent, they dared not speak up anymore.However, it was clear that the statement gave Seema some leverage for a counterattack.When the stateme
No wonder she saw her in Abel’s office last time.In the next moment, Katie asked kindly, “Miss Ruth, do you need me to bring you up?”Ruth forced a smile and said nonchalantly, “No, thanks. I’ll get my husband to come down and pick me up.”Katie knew that she was pretending to be calm. She smiled politely but did not insist. She walked around Ruth and went to the elevator.However, she had only taken two steps when she heard the receptionist say, “Wait, Miss Katie!”Katie turned around. “I can go up by myself. There’s no need to arrange for someone to pick me up.”The receptionist sounded embarrassed. “No, I didn’t have the full details earlier. I’m sorry, but you can’t go up.”Katie was confused. Ruth raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched.“I just checked the records and found your name on the company’s blacklist. No matter what, you are not allowed inside...” The receptionist’s voice was weak, and her voice became softer and softer.But Katie had heard her, and her el
