My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Accompany Me

Sophie returned to the restaurant and turned on the laptop in the establishment.

“What’s wrong? What are you doing?” Ysabelle asked curiously.

“It’s nothing. I just received an urgent email that I need to reply to. Wait for me for a moment.” The laptop was much slower than hers as it took almost a minute to boot.

She swiftly typed a string of code on the keyboard before she found the surveillance footage of the corridor. Seems like the footage captured was in HD vision. It even has audio recording, too.

After downloading the footage, she sent it to her email and wiped off any trace of her using the laptop.

Once their meal was over, Sophie and Ysabelle went shopping in Monarch Mall.

Ysabelle was trying out clothes inside when Wilma called.

“Ms. Sophie, we arrived at the same time Rachel and the others did. However, they chose Rachel.” Wilma sounded sad. “No need to worry, though. I’ll continue to work hard. I’ll definitely find a suitable ambassador!”

“I know, don’t worry. I’ve already found a suitable candidate to be our brand ambassador,” Sophie replied.

“What? You already found one? Who is it?” It wasn’t that Wilma didn’t believe Sophie, it was just that no one else was willing to be their ambassador so far.

“Cecelia Lance.”

“Who?”

“Cecelia Lance.”

“I didn’t hear that wrong, right, Ms. Sophie? Cecelia is the newly crowned queen of movies! Her future is very promising! Will she really agree?” Wilma and her team had been looking for newbies to be their ambassador and even they had refused.

It was why she doubted Cecelia would agree.

“She’ll agree. Just take care of the matters I told you to handle,” Sophie assured.

“Okay.” Even though Wilma was still doubtful, she knew Sophie’s temperament, so she didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Rachel still didn’t want to leave after exiting Lorelei’s house because she was waiting to laugh at Wilma. I’ve been overshadowed by her for a long time in Transfix Cosmetics. It’s finally my turn to shine.

“No need to feel that bad, Wilma! It’s actually good that you didn’t manage to invite Lorelei to become your spokesperson. Nowadays, no one is using Transfix Cosmetics’ products. You can’t even pay your employees their wages, much less spend an enormous amount of money hiring someone as famous as Lorelei!” Rachel mocked.

“That’s right! Transfix Cosmetics is over! I think you lot should quickly find a new job! If you can’t work in the same industry anymore, I suggest washing dishes at a hotel!” one of Rachel’s companions mocked.

Wilma’s face darkened. D*mn you, Rachel!

“Look at you, Rachel, acting all smug. You made your choice, and we’re fine with that. There’s no need to kick us when we’re down. Besides, it’s not over and the winner has yet to emerge!” she retorted.

Rachel sneered, “You’re as stubborn as a mule, Wilma. Even at its best, Transfix Cosmetics couldn’t win against Dream. Now that your company has fallen to its current state, there’s no way it’ll even catch up to Dream now!”

“That’s right! It’s all thanks to Ms. Summers that we have an opportunity to be part of Dream!”

“Give up, Wilma! You’ll never make a comeback!”

“Thanks for your concern.” Wilma opted to ignore them. I’ll never give up until the end!

“Have any of you invited a director to shoot the advertisement?” Wilma asked as she left with her team.

“Tomorrow’s the shooting day, but we don’t have an ambassador or a director! What do we do, Ms. Lineker?”

“Yeah!”

“Dream is deliberately launching a new product on the same day as us! Why do they have to do it on the same day…”

“They’re clearly bullying us!”

“All right, that’s enough. It’s pointless talking about that. Right now, we just need to focus on our tasks. I believe Transfix Cosmetics will make a comeback.” Wilma attempted to boost their morale. No matter what happens, I need to keep their spirits up.

“Yeah! With Ms. Lineker around, Transfix Cosmetics won’t fall!”

Is this how you’re supposed to treat the youngest person crowned the queen of movies?

“I don’t want to.” Cecelia pouted. I refused to be ordered around! I’m not going to star in an advertisement just because you said so!
