登入“Mr. Ford!”“CEO of the Ford Group?”“Yeah, you don’t know him?”“OMG, he’s so handsome, even more handsome than he looks on TV!”“Is he visiting the set? We’re just a low-budget web series, aren't we?”“Miss Emerson was just here, didn't you see her?”“You mean the new director that HQ sent over?”“Yeah! I heard she's Mr. Ford's mistress...”…The crowd whispered amongst themselves.Alexis quickly gathered the supervisor and producer to greet him.However, Killian walked straight towards Sheila. “All talked out?”All eyes turned to her. Sheila was a little embarrassed. “Yeah, pretty much.”The producer rushed to greet Killian. “Mr. Ford, we didn’t expect you to visit this late. We’re not prepared at all, we’re so…”Killian cut him off, “I’m here with my girlfriend, not to inspect. You don’t need to be so formal.”The word “girlfriend” hit everyone like a ton of bricks.Even Sheila was surprised.This was the first time he had publicly acknowledged her status. Not Ford’s wife, sure, b
“Didn't you have plans with Regan and the others?” Sheila asked, a guilty flush rising on her cheeks. “Wouldn't want to trouble you. It’s not far. I can just call a driver.”Killian: “Didn't make any plans. Were you trying to trick me?”Sheila: “……”“Why would I trick you?” she said, resigning herself to her fate. “Fine, come if you want!”When she went downstairs, Jerry followed behind in her car, while Killian personally chauffeured her.Sheila frantically took advantage of Killian's distraction to message Alexis, “Mr. Monroe, got a moment? Urgent, need to meet up.” As Killian started the car, he glanced at her, and Sheila hastily opened her chat with Sunny, typing a message as she said, “I’m messaging Sunny to tell her I won’t be back tonight. I’ll grab my things tomorrow.”“Oh,” Killian said. “Didn’t you say you were planning to go home? Why are you telling her now? Sheila: “……”Time to think fast.“I forgot to tell her. Actually, I was working so late yesterday I didn't want to
For over a week, Sheila had barely seen Killian.Killian had actively called her a few times, and she hadn't dared to be negligent, replying to every message. After all, they had an agreement, and he was still her big boss.But each time, she tried her best to restrain her emotions, finding various excuses to avoid him.She also tried not to let Killian notice anything. He was busy with a million things, he probably didn’t have time to think too much.That's how she was, so busy these days that she didn't have time to overthink things.At most… at most, she would inexplicably think of him sometimes, but it was alright.Sheila suddenly thought it was good to work at Orange Entertainment. That way, she wouldn't have to see Killian at the Group, and then see him again at home, living together day and night – it was too easy to develop feelings.Once this infatuation passed, they could continue with their no-strings-attached relationship. She should be able to do it.Sheila walked to the
Sunny hugged her, a pang of sympathy hitting her hard.......The very next morning, Amy fired over all the files that Sheila had tasked her with organizing.Turns out,Orange Entertainment had a pitifully small roster of high-profile artists with any availability.Sheila reached out to several managers, and almost none of them turned down the chance at such a great opportunity. The biggest hurdle, though, was getting confirmation from the investors and the brand.For the next week, Sheila spun like a top, a non-stop whirlwind of activity.She'd drag artists onto the earliest flights to intercept brand executives, then huddle outside Hollywood Studios at noon, scarfing down sandwiches while rewriting contract clauses. By late night, she was twisting arms at boozy investor dinners.The LE endorsement was the toughest nut to crack. They were dead-set on Charlotte, and now they wanted to break her contract with Orange Entertainment, pay a hefty 50 million in damages, and sign Charlotte to
At three in the afternoon, Amy suddenly burst into the office: "Miss Emerson, Lily is here raising hell with Cheryl! They're being held back by security outside.""And a bunch of reporters just showed up too."In the past twelve-ish hours, Cheryl first posted that the recording was maliciously edited and AI-generated. Then, she claimed the company and Alexis were setting her up.Too bad the netizens were sharp as tacks. They immediately presented various certifications proving the recording was definitely not AI or maliciously edited.Next, Cheryl tried a live-streamed suicide attempt for sympathy. But most netizens and fans didn't buy it.Basically, she's completely toast. The company's legal team has already sent her a termination notice.Given Cheryl's current situation, the company has every right to terminate the contract unilaterally, without paying a single cent in damages."The next steps fall under Miss Cromwell's purview," Sheila told Amy. "Let's turn a deaf ear to all the d
He liked her.But the moment Sheila tried to open her eyes and demand an explanation, a voice echoed in her mind.He sees you as a substitute.You're just a substitute.Her heart shattered into a million pieces. So, she remained perfectly still, pretending she knew nothing.Only after Killian finished his morning routine and left did Sheila finally climb out of bed.She glanced at the time and then flopped back down, deciding to catch some extra sleep. She'd get up after Killian left for the day.The alarm blared, threatening lateness.Sheila finally sprang into action, rushing through her morning preparations.But when she went downstairs, she was surprised to find Killian still sitting at the dining table.She glanced at the time, puzzled. He usually left around this hour. What was he still doing here?Killian looked up at her. "Doesn't Orange Entertainment start at 9? Tired? Couldn't get up?"Sheila forced a smile. "Uh..."Killian: "You can still make it. Eat quickly."Sheila grabb
