Semua Bab Sweet Subterfuge: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Kevan's assistant was waiting downstairs at the hospital. The city's power supply was cut off completely yesterday, and all transport was at a standstill. They came from the office together, and halfway through the journey, their car was submerged in water and shut down.The rain had been pouring heavily then, but Kevan ignored his assistant's advice and jumped out of the car into the rain, leaving him behind. The assistant waited in place for almost three hours before a tow truck came, and he finally got out of his arduous situation.Early this morning, he got a call from Kevan telling him to come pick him up as well as buy a set of new clothes, including underwear.Kevan had just settled in the backseat when the assistant passed over a few shopping bags from the passenger's seat."Your clothes, Mr. Rogers."Kevan changed into his new suit and tossed the wrinkled set aside. When he got out of the car, the assistant asked him, "Should this outfit be left in the car, Mr. Rogers?"

Having one-upped Kevan with a "successful" business talk with Frank, Xavier got a little carried away. First, he contacted all the actors he had called before, boasting with the same script. "I just had a meal with the boss of Fantasy Utopia, and he rejected the offer to collaborate with VisualBox's 'Traveling Through Time' in front of me! Because he favors 'Migration to Mars'! Moreover, he will try and get Stephen del Rio to direct this movie! Do you know Stephen del Rio? It's that famous sci-fi film director who got two Diamond Reel Honors and three Platinum Film Awards, among other awards …"The circulation of information in the entertainment industry was always the fastest, so almost everyone knew that Xavier was in ongoing negotiations with Fantasy Utopia. However, due to Cosmic Entertainment's unfavorable situation, no one really believed that he really established a connection with Fantasy Utopia.Besides, VisualBox just released the news in the afternoon, saying that Fantasy

Who knew that Yvette would come looking for them shortly after the company reopened?Ian pushed open Xavier's office door, immediately getting a whiff of the smoke in the room. But as cigars were good quality smokes, the smell was not too bad. Xavier sat in the midst of the wispy smoke, idly flicking away the ash gathered on the end of the cigar."Who's looking for me again?" He smiled, trying his best to appear nonchalant. But he could not hide the smugness in his eyes.Ian hesitated before announcing Yvette's name.Xavier's smile turned into a frown at once, his expression turning cold as well as carrying a hint of disgust. "Get security to chase her out."His apathy and heartlessness stunned Ian for a moment, until Xavier's shout of, "Well, why are you still standing there? Go!" startled him into action."Yes, Mr. Seymour. Right away!" Ian hurried out once again and called the building's management, telling them to send security up at once. But he had yet to inform the recepti

"Help! Someone help!"Xavier's office was not that big, and it was not furnished with soundproofing equipment. So, Yvette's howls could be clearly heard by the others outside.Ian did not expect to come back to this after stepping out for a few minutes. Everyone in the office was staring at each other, at a complete loss of what to do."If this goes on, Mr. Seymour may really beat his wife to death …""Should we try to break it up? It's not good if someone dies.""If you want to break it up, go right ahead! At any rate, I won't be the one doing it!"…After a discussion, the job of breaking up the fight between Xavier and Yvette fell on Ian's head as he was the most trusted subordinate of their boss."It's up to you now, Mr. Price!""You can do it, Ian, we believe in you!"…Although Ian was not willing to risk having Xavier's rage directed at him, his fear grew stronger when Yvette's howls grew weaker.The security sent by the management arrived late, and when they saw the

"The E.R. said that they called the police when they brought her here, but they didn't say how she got hurt …""She must have been beaten up by someone. Otherwise, how do you explain her injuries?!""Don't celebrities have agents, bodyguards, and stuff? Normal people wouldn't be able to get close to them, so how the hell did someone even beat her up?""That's for celebs who are popular now! For a washed-up one like Yvette, what agent would care about her, especially with the huge scandal that got exposed so recently?"Larissa was originally listening to the gossip as a way to relieve her boredom, but when the name "Yvette" popped out of a nurse's mouth, she froze at once. Once she had connected the previous dialogues to this, she was very surprised.Yvette was … beaten up by someone? But … who would do that?Like Larissa, Gary's attention was also drawn by the nurses' conversation. He slowed down until he decided to just stop walking.There were only two nurses who were in charg
