However, Yvonne kept a neutral expression and said while stirring the coffee in her hand, "That's fine."
Unable to read Yvonne's expression, Kiki was in the dark as to whether Yvonne was angry with her.
Kiki was still keeping her eyes discreetly on Yvonne's expression when the latter said, "From today onward, you'll be under me. I will help you achieve whatever your wishes are."
Kiki believed in Yvonne's words, as she knew the Kepler Family was capable of doing so. Even when Yvonne was in such shape, the Kepler Family could still overcome all obstacles and prepared for their daughter to have a large production for her upcoming film for the sake of winning an award. Kiki knew that turning someone like her into a first-rate superstar in the entertainment industry wasn't a difficult task for that family. Hence, she decided to accept the deal with Yvonne. "Miss Kepler, since you're generous to give such an opportunity to me, I will definitely be your hands and legs."
"You'd better remember what you've said here today. I wouldn't like for you to go back on your word." Yvonne gave Kiki one last chance to back out here. If the latter affirmed her decision, then she would no longer be able to go back on the deal by being vague.
"Since Miss Kepler will be helping me in my journey to be a first-rate superstar in the industry, you're basically my talent scout. How could I ever betray my own talent scout?"
Yvonne sneered, "I'm glad to hear you say so. I will arrange for a staff member to discuss with you about your new contract tomorrow. From now on, that staff will come to you whenever I need you. There is no need for you to come and meet me on your own."
Slightly taken aback at how soon the contract would be ready, Kiki hurriedly nodded. "Understood, Miss Kepler. I will keep that in mind." Although she knew that Yvonne was using her, she was using Yvonne as well.
Listening to Kiki's attempts to flatter her, Yvonne was quite pleased. Then, she got up and gave a sidelong look at Kiki. "I've already ordered the specialty of this café as your dinner. You must have never tried it before, right? Go ahead and have a taste." As the café they were in was a famous and expensive café in Hammond, the common man wouldn't have the chance of having them. Naturally, that meant Kiki wouldn't have been a customer in the café before.
"Then I will enjoy your generosity, Miss Kepler," Kiki replied, albeit uncomfortable with Yvonne's patronizing attitude.
However, Yvonne didn't bother with Kiki's feelings. Before she left the café, she gave a warning to her. "Remember not to let anyone know about our deal."
Submissively, Kiki said, "Yes, I will do as I'm told."
Meanwhile, in Eddie's darkroom.
"So, something like that happened?" Eddie was lying sideways on the couch sluggishly. However, he immediately perked up the moment he heard what had happened.
Brandon nodded. "Yes, our men have confirmed that Yvonne has met with Kiki." They had been having their men track Yvonne's movements. Furthermore, they'd had contact with Kiki several times now and had labeled her as someone they could use.
Eddie laughed. "Just when we were clueless on how to deal with Hanson. Their timing couldn't be any better." Since they had suffered a heavy loss of their personnel recently and Hanson had completely cleared the toxin in his body, Eddie hadn't the opportunity to strike at Hanson.
"Young Master Eddie, what should we do?"
After a brief deliberation, Eddie said, "Have our men assist Yvonne from time to time. That way, she will never be able to get rid of me." The person he fancied would always be his, and only his.
Brandon nodded in response before he reminded, "Liam Jones seems to be close with Vania recently."
"They're all with Hanson." Eddie knew that Liam was on good terms with Hanson. He then said in dissatisfaction, "Keep an eye on them. I want to know what they're planning."
