Masuk"Mr. Cole, he has schedules today," Sheila said, pulling out the contract Sebastian had already signed. "He's already agreed."Everyone was stunned. Derek snatched the contract, scrutinizing it repeatedly.In just one night, she'd convinced Sebastian and even gotten him to sign the contract. Her efficiency was unmatched.Undoubtedly, she'd pressured Mr. Ford.Derek sneered inwardly, thinking: Ah, women. Good in bed, and it makes all the difference.The others, however, were ecstatic at the news, showering Sheila with admiration."This is fantastic! With Sebastian as the male lead, this drama will be a hit even before it airs!""Miss Emerson, your efficiency is truly impressive!""With Miss Emerson on this project, it's bound to proceed smoothly."...Sheila demurred, "Actually, I didn't do much. I just relayed everyone's thoughts. When Mr. Cole heard it was a company project, he thought it would be good to support the newcomers, so he agreed immediately.""Mr. Cole is very approachabl
The crew wasn't all here yet, and Sheila didn't want to face Kane just yet, so she pulled Caroline into another private room to chat, waiting for the right moment to enter."The male lead is Sebastian. The contract's already signed.""Are you kidding me?""I'm serious."Caroline couldn't hold back at all, throwing herself onto Sheila. "Sheila, you're like a sister to me, my actual sister!!""Hehe..." Actually, Sheila couldn't quite laugh. Sebastian knew Caroline was the female lead. This could be another extreme, right?Looking at Caroline, she was just a sweet, kind-hearted person. Why didn't Sebastian like her?Sheila was puzzled. "Caroline, you like Sebastian that much?"Caroline nodded vigorously. "I like him so much, indescribably so."Then she began to recount her own secret love journey with Sebastian.During the summer break after her first year of high school, she went with a classmate to watch a talent show competition. Originally, she was just killing time, but she was deep
Olivia's tone suddenly became casual again: "It's nothing. She seems to be a very famous ballerina. I saw her on TV. Your mom used to be a fan too."So that's it. No wonder she was so shocked that she dropped her cup. She must have been too excited to see her idol.But when did she ever like ballet dancers?"Mom, aren't your idols Andy Lau anymore? I've never seen you watch a ballet performance."Olivia: "Hey, your mom used to love watching ballet performances. We had video tapes at home, but later there were too many trivial things in life, so I stopped watching.""Oh." Sheila didn't suspect anything.Olivia asked again: "Is she doing well now? I haven't seen her on TV for a long time.""She's doing great." Sheila talked about Alison's recent situation, "Don't worry, your idol is doing well."Olivia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Oh, she also has a son, and her husband treats her well. Then she shouldn't have any regrets in life."Sheila: "Uh, she probably still has some regret
"Mom, what's wrong?"The three of them turned towards the screen, puzzled by her tone. Olivia forced a strained smile. "Oh dear, I was being careless. Sheila, I'll chat with your mother-in-law another time.""Okay, mother-in-law, no worries.""Goodbye.""Goodbye, Mom."The call ended. Sheila felt her mother was acting strange, like she'd seen something that scared her.But what could it be? Sheila looked at Alison. "Mrs. Cole, do you know my mother?"Alison looked bewildered. "No, I don't. Why?""Oh, it's nothing."Sheila chuckled, thinking she was overthinking it.Alison was a high-society lady, a famous ballerina who'd lived in France for years. Her mother was just an ordinary woman. How could they possibly know each other?Sheila chatted with Nicole for a while longer. Then, she saw Sebastian and Killian enter from outside, and she remembered the male lead for the new project."Mom, Mrs. Cole, you guys chat. I just remembered something at work that I need to discuss with Mr. Cole."
How did it become her who was unwilling?Wasn't he the one who wanted to keep things private all along?It wasn't until the car behind them honked impatiently that Killian restarted the engine.Sheila finally spoke, her voice hesitant, "So, our marriage agreement is really void?""Yeah, void," Killian confirmed. "Didn't we agree on that?""But I don't think there's a need to go out of our way to announce it, right?" Sheila argued. "After all, I'm working at Orange Entertainment now, which is still a subsidiary of Ford's Corporation. If we go public, people will think I'm just a trophy wife even more."Before, when it was just a marriage of convenience, there was no need to reveal anything. But now that they were aiming for a lifetime together, it was different.It seemed a bit pretentious, but she genuinely wanted to achieve something, to have her own career.Of course, no matter how hard she worked, she could never catch up to Killian.But at least one day she could confidently tell
"I can try," Sheila said modestly.Derek heard this, wearing an expression that said, "Just as I expected." "Since it's just a try, let's think of a backup plan."The meeting lasted for more than two hours.After it ended, Kane suggested taking everyone out for dinner to continue discussing the remaining details.Sheila tidied up her desk, ready to leave, but Kane blocked her path. "Miss Emerson, aren't you coming to dinner later?"Sheila coldly refused, "I can't, I have plans."At this moment, Director Lee came over and said, "Miss Emerson, why aren't you going? This is the crew's first gathering. Without you, we don't know how long this project would be shelved."Others also enthusiastically invited her.Sheila hesitated, then said, "I have a date.""A date? With Mr. Ford?" Derek smiled meaningfully. "Accompanying Mr. Ford is indeed more important."Sheila felt that Derek seemed to have a prejudice against her, but she couldn't refute it, because she was indeed going to meet Killian
The banquet wasn't even over before Killian took Sheila away.Inside the car, Killian instructed, "In the future, if you encounter anyone from the Ford family, stay as far away as possible, understand?"Sheila guessed he didn't want their true relationship to be known. After all, her status wasn't
Sheila didn't flinch at Marina's sarcasm, continuing to patiently examine the proposal.Half an hour later, she pointed to a spot in the plan, her tone certain: "I think there's a problem here. According to Mr. Manson's previous requirements, the user interface needs to be extremely simple, making
Sheila knocked on the door with two cups of coffee. When she entered the president's office, Marina was sitting next to Killian, holding a laptop.They were sitting very close, discussing some professional topics related to programming.Sheila didn't dare interrupt. She quietly placed the coffee do
Kane, as Rory Maxwell's only son, was his most prized possession and would be the sole heir to the Maxwell Group.Therefore, Rory was extremely strict with Kane from a young age, but the stricter he was, the more rebellious Kane became.It wasn't until three years ago, when his mother passed away a
