He is too old to pick up young girls, isn&#8217;t he?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pick up girls?<\/p>\n<p>Louis frowns slightly. He gets another message from Lily before he can reply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Best Taste Entertainment is not his own property. How could he use his power and give the best resources to a starlet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is so domineering. Did he even care about other senior executives&#8217; opinions?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis reads the message in shock and then he can&#8217;t help but laugh. He can only imagine how angry she is when she types.<\/p>\n<p>If she hasn&#8217;t designated that girl to be the celebrity endorsement, he wouldn&#8217;t have to be so domineering.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, this is a great loss for him.<\/p>\n<p>After pondering for a while, Louis replies, &#8220;Really? Why don&#8217;t I know? I heard that the director liked that starlet and asked for her to be the female lead specifically.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily texts back, &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe someone would want that starlet to be the female lead of such a big-budget movie! That starlet&#8217;s agent said that she also got three endorsements for luxury brands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From my point of view, Mr. Smith was using the director&#8217;s words as an excuse, and he was the one behind all these decisions. I can&#8217;t believe the gossip is so rampant that even HS Company knows about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis squints his eyes slightly.<\/p>\n<p>He asked David to handle all these matters before, and he hasn&#8217;t asked since because he trusts David.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t expect that there&#8217;s a spy in the company.<\/p>\n<p>Louis replies, &#8220;Ms. Lily, these are definitely fake news. This information is definitely fake. Based on my understanding of Mr. Smith, he won&#8217;t be interested in that kind of girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you knew him so well, why didn&#8217;t you know that he was interested in one of your classmates?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis pauses for a while and continues typing, &#8220;Ms. Lily, you are so concerned about this gossip. Are you jealous to see Mr. Smith with other women?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily replied almost instantly, &#8220;Jealous my ass! We already broke up and I can&#8217;t care less about that old man!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m concerned because I don&#8217;t want that starlet and Mr. Smith to get into a fight during the endorsement period and affect our product.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enough about them. I still have a lot of things to do. Talk to you later!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She keeps sending messages non-stop and Louis can&#8217;t help but laugh. She is so bad at hiding her feelings. She even wailed to ask for oranges and took the two baskets of oranges home.<\/p>\n<p>Louis signed. He is only five years older than her, but she calls him an old man all the time.<\/p>\n<p>The other senior executives of the Merci Company are complaining about Louis, but he is on his phone with his legs crossed and doesn&#8217;t seem to listen, so they get even angrier.<\/p>\n<p>Someone raises his voice to get Louis&#8217; attention, &#8220;Mr. Smith, are you listening?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no need to be so loud. I heard everything you guys just said.&#8221; Louis puts away his phone and raises his eyebrows slightly. He says calmly, &#8220;I agreed to lend HS Company a group of people from the Smith Group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The executive is not satisfied with his answer, &#8220;Mr. Smith, we told you that Merci Company had a bet with HS. You not only have our new girl signed to HS, but you also lend them a team from the Smith Group. What are you trying to do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s fine,&#8221; Louis replies casually.<\/p>\n<p>David has worked with him for so many years, and he knows him well and trusted him.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking back to those messages Lily sent him, Louis assumes that person must be someone close to him to know so much about their planning.<\/p>\n<p>He wants to find out who that person is.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Lily finds out that her belly is becoming more and more obvious. Maybe the babies are behaving so well, she does feel the kicks as much.<\/p>\n<p>She is afraid that it would be too obvious if she wears her old clothes, so she buys some loose clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, she rarely wears suits after she starts working at the HS Company. Most of the time, she wears casual clothes, so nobody gets suspicious in the company.<\/p>\n<p>Lily gets up early in the morning. She prepares a pot of pork rib soup and braised pig trotter and takes them to the company. She is going to have Chandler over at noon.<\/p>\n<p>When she arrives at the company, she sees Ella come over and says to her anxiously, &#8220;Ms. Lily, have you seen the news?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily asks curiously, &#8220;No, what news can make you so nervous?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The police caught the starlet doing drugs and took her into custody early in the morning.&#8221; The assistant lowers her voice, &#8220;This is on the front page everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; Lily looks back at her in shock, &#8220;Are you talking about the starlet who signed the contract with us?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The assistant nods, &#8220;Exactly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2377","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
