With a darkened face, Brandon Kaur patted on the desk violently.
"Bullshit! You don't want to marry Mr. Wright. Whom do you want to marry? That gangster? That Peck fellow?"
Victoria creased her brows.
She wanted to explain but the slight pang at the bottom of her heart stopped her from speaking it out.
After a long while, she said in a deep tone, "Don't worry. I won't marry him either."
He and she could never be together.
That man hated her to the core. He even disdained to lay a finger on her. How would he be willing to marry her?
Victoria held back the soreness in her eyes and continued, "I just want to concentrate on acting. I don't want to think about anything else. Besides, I'm too young to get married right now. Probably several years later."
After finishing her words, she turned around and walked upstairs.
Her attitude literally pissed Brandon off this time.
He roared towards upstairs, "If I know you meet that Peck bastard again, I'll break your legs. I dare you to try me if you don't believe!"
...
During the New Year's holiday, both Archie and Natalia had a few days off.
They felt quite bored in Julio, so they decided to spend the holiday in a southern city.
However, an hour right before their departure, they received a call from Eqitin.
They were told that the old Mr. McCarthy, the grandfather of Archie, was dying. On that morning, he was sent into the emergency room for rescue. It was not certain if he could make it this time or not.
Archie's expression changed immediately. They could only delay their holiday plan. Archie immediately went back to Eqitin to check on his grandfather.
Natalia wasn't disappointed, though. She didn't like traveling that much. Besides, it was about Archie's grandfather, whose health always came first.
After Archie went back, Natalia felt bored staying at home, so she decided to work.
Right then, nothing important had happened to artists under Annie International or Star Entertainment. After all, it was during the New Year's holiday, so everyone kept a low profile.
Natalia felt happy to have a little spare time for herself, so she found some classic cases in the past to read and to kill her time.
One afternoon, when she was reading the materials while nestling on the sofa, she received a call from Elsa.
It was just the third day of the holiday, and they wouldn't go back to work until two days later.
She wondered why Elsa called her right then.
Natalia swiped to answer. Once the call went through, she heard Elsa's excited voice. "Mrs. McCarthy, do you have time now? Could you come to the company now?"
Natalia was startled. "What happened?"
"Something good! A superstar likes our company. He wants to sign the contract with us!"
Natalia gaped.
It wasn't because she had no confidence in her company. However, Star Entertainment had just started up not long ago. It had limited strength. She couldn't help wondering which superstar was willing to sign a contract with her.
Although she was doubting, she made a move immediately.
While walking upstairs to get changed, she asked, "Who is this superstar?"
"You'll know it when you come over."
Elsa deliberately kept her in suspense and hung up the phone.
Natalia frowned, feeling quite weird. She didn't overthink. After getting dressed, she drove to the company.
It was still during the holiday, so no employees were working there.
She took the elevator all the way to the sixteenth floor. From afar, she heard Elsa's delighted voice. She seemed to be receiving the guest.
Natalia strode over.
"Mr. Chapman, look, this is the promotion video we made earlier. Although we're still a small company, we have the investment from Annie International, so we have a certain strength. If you're willing to sign the contract with our company, I can guarantee with the best resources."
A proud voice was heard.
"Gee! If we lack resources, why would we choose such a shabby company? We can go directly to Annie International instead. Can't they give the resources to Mr. Chapman?"
Elsa's expression was stiffened.
On the business battlefield, some secrets shouldn't be exposed. Since the agent had been so straightforward, Elsa could not find a way to continue the negotiation.
