Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 222

222 Making a deal 

Jeslyn arrived at Sparkle Entertainment with Assistant Mark and some guards that weren’t in uniform. Because she was hiding her identity, Jeslyn was being protected by her husband’s shadow guards. Code 5, Code 6, and Code 7. Those guards were way more powerful than the usual guards that used to follow her around. They belong to Maverick’s special forces- his backup. 1 

These three guards don’t come out from the shadows unless it’s an extremely difficult job. Before Maverick left, he gave them the order to protect his wife. The guards didn’t think for a second that the work was too insignificant and even if they did, it didn’t show on their brows (frown) let alone voice it 

out. 

Naturally, the three guards were intimidating, which was why Jeslyn wasn’t disrespected inside the big company. 

Entering the meeting room, Young Master Wu was already sitting on the executive chair with a smile on his face. That smile told Mark without much thought that his boss had done something enjoyable, which could only be s3x or a satisfying bl*wjob. 

Mark looked away in disgust as they walked into the room. 

“So, you are VJ Cute. The name sounds awkward and not cute at all. It sounds boyish, not even manly enough to be called masculine. Why not use something feminine or even girlish name would be great since you are so delicate and probably… cute?” He eyed Jeslyn lewdly from head to toe. His eyes lingered on her exposed beautiful and flawless straight legs and he felt his throat burning. 

She was wearing a powder pink shirt on a black high–waist pleated skirt with a white blazer drafted on her shoulders- she wasn’t wearing it. A black purse and black stiletto six inch heels. With her face properly covered and her legs exposed, she sat on the seat in front of him with elegance. Everything about her, from her dress to her mannerism screams that she’s not to be messed with, but Young Master Wu felt he was an exception. ‘She can’t be from a richer family than me, else, the society would have known her. Also, she wouldn’t have chosen a small company like Fearless if she was a bigshot. he thought. 

“My stage name… you’ll get used to it when you start gritting your teeth to pronounce it.” She took off her sunglasses and smiled with her eyes. 

The Young Master was mesmerized by those hazel eyes but hearing the threat in her words, he pushed her beauty aside and asked; “What do you mean!” He frowned. 

“Haha… don’t be so serious. I meant, I haven’t entered into a deal with you yet and you are already showing me how disgusting and mannerless you are. Whatever stage name I decide on has nothing to do with you when it’s not your nightmare.” She rolled her eyes. 

Of course, she meant what she said. By the time she is done with Christine, this man will get used to her name because he will be gritting his teeth in regret then. 

“You are bold. What family are you from?” He asked with a raised brow. 

“I actually don’t have a family but I do have a powerful backer. Let’s skip that, CEO Wu. What do you need me for? 1 clearly chose a different company but you seem to be interested in me? 

“Young lady, I think you should learn how to talk first. You might get in trouble, you know?” 

“Not at all. You don’t expect me to be happy when you abducted me from my dream company. How 

fair is that?” 

“Not fair but it’s to your own advantage. You cannot grow in Fearless Entertainment. It’s just a startup company. This is where you can grow. Fame, wealth, just name it. I can give them to you in a blink of an eye.” 

“Oh, I can see that.” She nodded.“So; CEO Wu, what’s the deal?” 

CEO Wu side–eyed his Assistant. Didn’t he tell him to tell her what they needed her for? He cleared his throat and said; “We want you to be a voice artist for one of our artist-” 

“Pffft… hahahahaha… are you insane?! You want to kill my dreams? Like, I don’t understand. How dare you propose such a deal to me??” Jeslyn didn’t sound angry but was rather being sarcastic, like, she can’t see herself doing that. 

Assistant Mark’s lips twitched. Who would have known VJ Cute whose voice was calm and friendly when she sings would be such a pain in the ass in reality? With her ways, it’s obvious that her backer was bigger and stronger than the Wu family. 

Assistant Mark concluded and hoped that his boss would pull out at this moment. But the stubborn bull continued. 

“Don’t be too hasty to turn me down. Give us one year of your time and I’ll give you a 5% share of my 

company.” 

Jeslyn’s eyes flashed but she held it in and shook her head. “With my voice, within one year, I would have stolen the best singer of all time award from Celestine. Do you know what that implies? It means more opportunities, fame, and wealth. Which automatically means that I can buy more than 5% of your Sparkle Entertainment shares.” 

Young Master Wu nodded. “You are ambitious… I like that.” 

“Make it 20% and I’ll think about it.” 

Assistant Mark widened his eyes in shock. What a greedy cat! My boss won’t allow this. He snorted softly. 

“10%” 

Jeslyn shook her head. “No… 20%” 

“15% is all I can afford.” The Young Master frowned. 

By now, Assistant Mark was about to call the Young Master’s grandfather. This grandson seems to be running mad! 

“Then, I’ll take my leave now, CEO Wu. Jeslyn got up, ready to leave. 

“Fine!” 

Her eyes smiled and she sat back down. “I promise, you won’t regret this,” She said. 

“Whether I’ll regret it or not, leave that for the future. But for now, I’d like you to take off your mask. It’s only proper that I see your face, right?” CEO Wu sald with evil thoughts brewing in his mind.
