Chapter 32
Tom was shocked. “Fire who?”
Eliza nodded. “The reason I’m here, isn’t…isn’t it because of the news being spread online?”
“What are you talking about?”
Tom turned to look at his secretary with a puzzled expression, “Update me. What happened?”
The secretary paused. He inched closer and whispered into Tom’s ears.
Tom frowned and his demeanor turned serious almost instantly.
Eliza sighed.
It seemed like she could not escape the fate of being fired after all.
Just as she was about to take the initiative to resign, Tom smiled at her and said, “Eliza, rest assured. I will deal with that.”
“I’ll fire Madeleine Robinson right now!”
Aside from Eliza, the curious onlookers were also stunned beyond words.
The secretary reminded Tom discreetly, “You’re talking about Eliza right?”
Tom frowned and said, “No! The one who should be fired is Madeleine! How dare she frame my staff in my company!”
“Eliza is a professional stuntwoman with outstanding work ethics and qualities. There’s absolutely no way she’d seduce a small fry like Jay Carr!”
He added while smiling at Eliza, “Eliza, let’s go upstairs to discuss the issue further.”
Eliza was so shocked that her jaw literally dropped to the ground.
“What’s going on?” she thought.
Still in a state of confusion, she followed Tom to the VIP lounge.
Tom poured her tea and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve ordered my subordinates to delete that video. I assure you, that post will not affect your career prospects in any way.”
After Beau left, Tom pondered about the incident that happened yesterday for the entire night.
He was shocked to discover that Mr. Valentine was nothing like the rumors described.
Rumors had it that Mr. Valentine didn’t love his wife at all and he treated her poorly. However, what happened last night had opened his eyes. Unexpectedly, he was a loving husband who cared deeply for Eliza!
Though Tom didn’t know why Beau would marry a lowly stuntwoman, he knew for a fact that Valentine’s Group would definitely invest in Parson Media if he treated Eliza well.
Tom couldn’t help but widen his smile at the thought of the endless benefits that Valentine’s Group could offer. “Eliza, I will do my best to nurture talented actresses like you.”
“As long as you focus on your work, I will definitely offer you the position as the female lead in the near future!”
Eliza looked at Tom in amazement. She didn’t know if she should accept the teacup handed to her or not.
After a while, she received the cup and asked, “Why… why are you so nice to me?”
She knew that Tom wasn’t a kind person.
His sudden change in attitude was really alarming and Eliza couldn’t help but squirm nervously in her seat.
“That’s because…”
Before Tom could finish speaking, someone pushed open the door.
The chief director of the film, ‘Snowy Night’, entered the VIP lounge.
“Mr. Ellis, I hope you could grant me permission to fire Eliza Lawson, the stuntwoman.”
He sat down just opposite Eliza and complained. “I was arguing with Roseane just now because she refused to fire that stuntwoman. Since I can’t get on terms with her. I’m hoping that you could…”
She didn’t know what to say.
Deep down, he knew that 2 billion was nothing to Mr. Valentine. If he could win Eliza’s favor, he could get the money back easily. If anything. Mr. Valentine would return the favor tenfold!
After that, he rose furiously and roared in disdain, “If you don’t fire Eliza, I will go against you by asking everyone in Parson Media to quit!”
