If one were to think things through, one would feel extraordinary comfort.
That was exactly what Anne did. She had already planned everything. After giving Kevin back to Cherry, she would leave to stay with Kim and her three children!
An investigator was sent by Kevin to check the background information of the girl on TV. In a short while, he learned that the girl's name was Kristine Ye. She was a popular star right now and was competing for the position of spokesperson for AN Group.
Kristine Ye was Cherry! There was no doubt in Kevin's heart that this was true. What he didn't understand was how she had the nerve to compete for the spokesperson of his company.
A meaningful smile graced his lips before he called his assistant. “Kristine's popularity as a star has been growing recently. Make an arrangement immediately and invite her to my private banquet.”
The assistant looked at him in surprise.
The CEO had always been a decent man. He was never interested in meeting female stars. What was up with him today?
But of course, the assistant did not have enough time to ponder on it. He left to do what he was tasked with immediately. Unsurprisingly, Kristine's agent agreed without any hesitation after hearing Kevin's name.
No one would dare miss an opportunity this huge with an influential man like Kevin. After all, if Kristine could be in Kevin's good graces, then all kind of endorsements would surely come her way in the future.
After learning of the confirmation, Kevin nodded, though his expression was cold.
In the evening, Kevin came to the club right on time. Cherry was already waiting there when he entered.
She sweetly smiled and stood up when she saw him. “I've wanted to see you for a long time now, Mr. Kevin. I just haven't had the chance before, but I'm glad to finally meet you.”
As a response, Kevin raised his eyebrows and studied her from head to toe. He said after they shook hands, “Cherry, you look much more beautiful now.”
Confused at what she heard, Cherry shook her head. She explained, “I am not Cherry, Mr. Kevin. My name is Kristine Ye. I've always been called Kristine ever since I was a child.”
She was boldly telling Kevin that she wasn't Cherry!
A smile adorned Kevin's lips before he shook his head slightly. Then, he raised the glass of red wine in his hand and said indifferently, "No matter what you call yourself now, you will always be Cherry in my heart."
Cherry frowned at his words. She held her ground and said, “I know I'm just a female star, but I've never been a substitute for anyone. If you're going to treat me like someone else, then I think I better leave first!”
What? Was she really talking about dignity with him?
Seemingly unaffected, Kevin said, “Miss Kristine, why are you so angry? I was just kidding. How about a glass of wine as compensation?”
Cherry warily looked at him. For a moment, her eyes looked muddled, but it disappeared in no time. She raised her glass in acceptance and they both drank the wine in one big gulp. It was said that a simple smile could wipe out hatred. This was what they were doing right now.
