Edward furrowed his brows upon seeing Jessica stagger out of his office. They had been together for many years; He wouldn't be so cruel to her if she didn't keep pushing her luck. He had to end it violently.
He kept silent for a while and paged his assistant. "Anna, come to my office, please." His voice was cool as usual.
Edward thought it was time to put an end on what Coco had started; otherwise Jessica might get the wrong idea and kept bothering him. While she was stuck with the mess of the Lin Group, he must make the first move to get things under his control again -- before something unexpected came up.
"Mr. Mu." With a confused look, Anna knocked on the door and shuffled in. She saw Jessica leave just now, and she wondered what had happened in the office earlier between Jessica and Edward. Jessica seemed happy when she came into his office, but devastated when she left.
"Here's the thing. Anna, have our entertainment company deal with Coco's scandal perfectly; I want to see the press release before tomorrow. And fire her afterwards. If she is shameless enough to ask for compensation, give her the number as per the contract. FX International Group doesn't need troublemakers like her. Famous actress? We can cultivate another one if we like. There are dozens of talented girls out there who know how to behave themselves."
Playing casually with his pen, Edward sneered and gave Anna his order. If Coco wanted to play games with him, he would happily play along -- by his rules. No one would sign someone who had been fired by the FX International Group. Coco was totally screwed this time.
"Copy that. I'll arrange it at once." Anna sighed inwardly. She felt a little sorry for Coco. She was done in the industry. She was the second one being fired by Edward in a rage. The first one was also a famous star and she dared to drug Edward. Anna only hoped Coco would be luckier than the last one, who was now a prostitute at some club.
"Thank you Anna. You may go." Edward seldom attended any of the press conferences. He wouldn't need the manager of his entertainment company if he had to handle the press himself. Edward still remembered how foolish the manager was during the last press conference. He had to send Aaron over to save the day. If he couldn't handle Coco this time, Edward would be happy to change the name on the payroll.
"By the way, Mr. Edward, Mr. Jonathan called this morning. He said they will be home tomorrow. Would you like to drive to the airport by yourself, or should I arrange for someone to pick them up?" Anna thought of the call she received earlier and reported it to Edward. Mr. Jonathan was Edward's father; and Edward hadn't seen him for years. Anna figured that he might want to go get his father by himself. He must miss his father a lot.
"What? The old man is finally coming back here?" Edward sneered. He wasn't excited about the news at all. He had been doing perfectly well without his parents. He could take care of himself without them.
"Certainly. Would you like to meet them at the airport yourself?" Anna widened her eyes and quietly waited for Edward's answer. Anna knew little about Edward's parents. She was employed by Edward and had been here just awhile. The only thing she knew about them was coming from senior employees' mouths. They were legendary figures in not only the company, but the entire S city.
