Clayton looked at Nicole with warm eyes and was just about to say something when Nicole tugged his arm and walked away.“Why are we still here letting the reporters gawk at us?”Nicole carried her skirt and walked away quickly while complaining in a small voice.Clayton laughed but did not say anything and followed her into the venue.Once inside, many people came over to drink with her. No matter where Nicole went, she easily became the center of attention.Her presence was natural yet eye-catching.It was not something that those actresses who deliberately showed off their status and competed with each other could compare to.Everyone gave Nicole a toast. Before Clayton could drink on her behalf, Nicole simply said that she did not drink.Thus, she toasted the others with a glass of juice.It was not time yet, so everyone was just chilling inside.No one noticed that Dominic Young had already arrived at the front.“Ms. Stanton...”Dominic was a big shot in the entertainme
Nicole did not care about Dominic’s reputation. The anger in her heart had not subsided yet.Harvey’s reputation had almost been smeared to the point of no return, but not only did Dominic not say or do anything, he even made a private settlement with Viola.How revolting was that?“I’m not interested in being a stickler regarding the unspoken rules, but I’ve already told you what Harvey Sage means to Stanton Corporation. You didn’t take that seriously and almost sent Harvey on a path of no return. I’ve taken this incident to heart. If it happens again, don’t even try to mention Kai’s name. It’ll be useless even if Kai comes.”Dominic froze. Although his expression was unpleasant, he could only smile ingratiatingly.“Thank you for your generosity, Ms. Stanton.”To the side, Clayton laughed and eased the atmosphere.“Nicole, don’t scare Mr. Young. That’s not what you said just now.”Dominic subconsciously looked over at him. Clayton glanced at Nicole and spoke with a smile.“Mr
Nicole turned her head in surprise. The warm and soothing fragrance of Clayton’s body drilled into her heart.She subconsciously became dazed.“Why?” She quickly asked.Clayton chuckled. His voice was clear and pleasant.“Because a princess should always be high and mighty.”There was no need for Nicole to stoop low or compromise.Even though her little temper was not elegant, Clayton felt like it was adorable.His voice was low and deep, drilling into Nicole’s ears and making her slightly stunned.The tips of her ears turned red.It was not that she did not understand the way things were done in the workplace. She also made it up from the bottom little by little.However, after growing up in an environment like the Stanton family, there was an inherent arrogance that she could not hide or correct.Nicole suppressed it for too long during the three years she was with Eric, and she did not have a good time.After the divorce, Nicole let loose.At that moment, her heart inex
Clayton’s words burrowed into Nicole’s ears like ants, but she instantly understood what he meant.He was right.Just because she abided by the rules did not mean others did too.Nicole wrinkled her brows and looked to the side, hesitating to speak.Clayton asked, “What’s wrong?”“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”Nicole grumbled, but Clayton heard her clearly.He let out a low chuckle but quickly held back.“Who knew that our Ms. Stanton is so upright?”Although Clayton did not know much about the entertainment industry in Mediania, he was seasoned after so long in the business world. He knew that when one reached a certain position, some things that could not be tolerated in the eyes of others would just be harmless when done.Although he disliked it, if doing that could benefit the interests of other aspects, he would do it.Thus, he was surprised that Nicole did not do anything.However, after thinking about it, it made sense. If Kai was around, he would have taken care o
Due to this youthful quality in Fabian, many people liked to approach him for films involving the youth.When Fabian walked to the middle, the lights behind him came on and dimmed one after another, and a second and third person appeared in succession.Then, more people appeared, and the audience cheered loudly.They were all male artists. The female artists would most likely go on stage separately.They were indeed the top twenty in popularity chosen by fan votes.Sure enough, the people on stage were all familiar acquaintances in the circle and on the trending topics. They all had one thing in common. They were all handsome.Nicole was secretly surprised as she watched, but there were many industry bigwigs around, so it was really not the place to lose her composure. Thus, she watched calmly with a flickering gaze and a gentle curl on the corners of her lips.Clayton constantly paid attention to Nicole beside him. He suddenly felt upset when he saw her staring down unblinkingl
Everyone looked at each other and unconsciously started to clap along as well. However, they hesitated when to scream along with Nicole.It was not very appropriate.To the side, Clayton’s face was slightly gloomy as he narrowed his eyes and looked at the people below.Harvey stood on the stage and bowed. Everyone was very enthusiastic.His popularity was most likely the highest. Otherwise, he would not be the finale for such a grand entrance.Clayton looked sideways at Nicole’s brilliant smile. How eye-piercing.He really could not hold back and reached out to hold Nicole’s hand forcibly, stopping her from clapping.That jealousy in his heart was surging.Nicole looked at Clayton and blinked. Her smile was still bright on her face.“What’s wrong?”Clayton squeezed her palm. “I’m afraid your hand will hurt from clapping so hard.”Nicole wanted to continue applauding and tried to pull her hand back, but she could not.She laughed and whispered mysteriously, “It doesn’t hurt!
Clayton said, “Do you think the awards reception is just a summary and commendation ceremony? This is another investment promotion. The organizers would want nothing more than to replace all of the nominees with celebrities with huge followings, but if they do that, everyone will look at them like they’re watching a farce. That’s why there are people from the acting circle here.”Nicole glanced at him. “You’re quite knowledgeable.”“It’s all thanks to you.”Clayton had really studied the entertainment industry some time ago in order to get close to her.However, the risk was too great. It was even riskier than the stock market. If a scandal of a celebrity spread, the capital behind them would definitely be implicated.However, humans were creatures with emotions, and they sought out pleasures. How would they be as stable as a product?Moreover, this circle was too dirty.As soon as Clayton hinted that he wanted to invest, people started to throw all sorts of women at him. It was
The two of them left one after the other. Even their backs looked good.As soon as Nicole left her seat, she called Dominic.“Did you see that?! Who added Joseph into the nominee pool? How did a guy like that win the Best Actor award? Any random actor would’ve been better than him!”Dominic could not help but laugh. “I knew that you’d get angry.”“Aren’t you?”Nicole retorted.Dominic said, “Look at the trending topics online. The netizens are way angrier than you. Joseph basically destroyed the sparse relations he built up. He beat both Harvey and a veteran actor. How shameful is that?”Nicole hung up the phone and immediately went online.Clayton was beside her, holding her arm and pulling her into the car. He could not help but sigh when he saw her focused expression.Nicole did not care and concentrated on the phone.The top trending topic read. [“Best” Actor Joseph Valencia. The Superstar Awards is his backyard!]The comments below really did not disappoint Nicole.[I
