“Look at your right foot. Do you think I’ll let you walk with that foot? These high heels are too dangerous. You shouldn’t wear them anymore. I’ll buy a better one for you next time,” Henry Armstrong nagged. “Nah, I have plenty of heels at home,” Georgie Clementine said. Henry carried Georgie downstairs without saying anything. Karen Campbell and Zayn Tulip followed closely behind them. After stalking out of the restaurant, Henry carried Georgie to the car and carefully placed her down on the passenger seat. He then got into the driver's seat from the other side. Though the two of them had already made it clear that they did not need any help or company, Karen and Zayn had no intention of leaving and remained rooted next to Henry. “Young Master Armstrong, are you sure you don’t want us to come with you?” Zayn asked. Henry frowned slightly. “No.”Subsequently, Henry contacted one of the Dior boutiques. “Save all the new high heels with size 37 for me. Do not sell them.”
She had seen people trying to take something away from the others. Nonetheless, this was her very first time encountering someone who kept trying to give her expensive, luxury gifts. Molten anger began to flow through Georgie Clementine. Her expression was as dark as night. “I’m not going to have any meals with you anymore if you keep being like this! I’ll never speak to you ever again!”Seeing that Georgie was burning with wrath, Henry Armstrong instantly wimped out. “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll cancel my order now.”He knew that he needed to stop triggering Georgie. His queen was really furious now. “I honestly don’t know what to do with you. I must have owed you a big one in my previous life.” Henry exclaimed. Georgie ignored him and stared out of the window, observing the busy streets and fancy buildings out there. Henry sighed helplessly. “You know what? I’ve never chased a girl before I found you. All the girls I met in my life would just pounce at me even when I simply
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. After Xyla Quest decided to call it a day, the employees gave her a respectful nod and left the office one after another.Xyla shuffled to her office desk exhaustedly and plopped onto her soft, comfortable office chair. Her neck was sore and stiff. She slowly rolled her head in the clockwise direction for a few seconds before turning on the computer to look for more information about Stanley Batton’s blood disease on the internet. She talked to Stanley and Ron Batton for the past few days to learn more about the disease. There were many types of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, and Stanley’s was known as aplastic anemia. It was mainly caused by the malfunction of the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. It was not a terminal illness for most people. It could usually be cured by undergoing a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, Stanley was a special case. His genetic materials did not allow him to undergo a bone ma
“There’s something else I want to tell you. We’ve already started the construction of the ocean theme park you designed. Take a look at the construction site when you have time,” Jeremy Quest added. “I will.”“Alright, that’s all I want to tell you. I’ll let you get back to work now.” Xyla Quest nodded courteously before striding out of Jeremy's office and returning to the general manager’s office of the design department. She sank into her office chair and unlocked her phone, intending to scroll through Weibo for a while before going back to work.Right at this moment, Georgie Clementine called her again. Xyla picked it up right away. “What’s wrong, Georgie?”“Suzie Cobold has received the lawyer’s letter. She came to me to beg for forgiveness just now. She told me that Dylan Brown had used her family’s safety to blackmail her. He warned her not to reveal anything about him.“I told Suzie that you’re X Entertainment’s big boss, and you’ll definitely keep her and her family
Questions started swimming in Xyla Quest’s head as she thought about it. Though she understood that this idea of hers was somewhat unbelievable, she trusted her intuition. She was certain that Jay Corben’s feelings for Morty Wayna were not as simple as brotherly love. The two of them had garnered a lot of attention recently. Their popularity soared ever since they worked together as JayTyCp. Both of them were at the top of all the major lists. The only man in the entertainment industry who could hold them down was Josh Batton. If something really happened between these two rising artists and was exposed to the public, the consequences were dire. They might be shut out from the entertainment industry there and then. Xyla was getting more anxious as she thought about it. She took a deep breath and called Georgie. “I’ll go to your house tonight. I have something to discuss with you.”“Okay,” Georgie replied. Hanging up the phone, Xyla exited the article and continued to
The marketing account even claimed that the photo was taken when X Entertainment was in trouble.The comment section of the marketing account was instantly buzzing with excitement.“X Entertainment retweeted Suzie Cobold’s Weibo post. Now, this photo appeared! @Mr.Brown, go to hell!”“The entertainment industry is filthy and insidious. My Josh must be miserable! It’s our responsibility to boycott all members of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment.”“I won’t watch or buy any of the drama series, movies, TV shows, magazines, and whatever this company produces.”“@Mr. Brown, you didn’t think this would happen, did you? You’re a trashy boss. What did our idol do to end up with you?”“Please don’t blame artists for what their boss did. I apologize on behalf of all the artists of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment.”“To the person above, who do you think you are? Do you think you can represent them? We’ll boycott them forever! We’ll never forgive them!”The smile on Xyla Quest’s face widened as she rea
Wanda Hopkins couldn’t help but frown slightly. She lowered her head and thought to herself. ‘Didn’t you bring this upon yourself? Why blame others?’There was a moment of silence in the meeting room…“Are you all out of ideas?” Mr. Brown’s eyes turned red with rage.Everyone else dipped their heads even further…“Now, there is another way. It’s just… I don’t know if you would be willing to do it…” Wanda said.“Go ahead.” Mr. Brown looked at Wanda with interest.“You could go to X Entertainment and sincerely apologize to their big boss… Let the other party forgive you… And then have X Entertainment issue a statement saying that everything was a misunderstanding…” Wanda explained.“You want me to apologize to that person? Are you out of your mind?” Mr. Brown snorted coldly. “I think it’s really time for me to talk to this person anyway… If this person dares to refuse to help our company survive through the crisis, I will make him pay for what he did.”With that, he quickly picke
Georgie Clementine, on the other hand, took out her phone and looked at Weibo.Seeing the buzz about Mr. Brown and the boycotting of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment made her smile satisfactorily in an instant.“I’ll send you home to rest…” Henry Armstrong said.“I don’t want to… Take me to the office. I only sprained my ankle, and it’s nothing serious at all…” Georgie said.“But the doctor said that you should not tire yourself or walk too often during this period,” Henry argued.“There is a bunch of things waiting for me at the company… I’ll just be sitting in the office, and I won't be walking much,” Georgie said.“No way!” Henry decisively refused.“Henry Armstrong!” Georgie had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.Although she knew that Henry was doing this for her good, she really couldn’t afford not to go back to the company.Right now, there were still a bunch of things needing her attention.Seeing that she was angry, Henry instantly gave in. Helplessly, he raised his han
