Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 

Madison immediately saw Ginny when she arrived at his office. “Hi sweetheart, is the Chairman In?” 

“Yes, he is. He’s inside waiting for you. Please go ahead.” As Ginny looked at Madison, she couldn’t help but wonder if that photo really was photoshopped. 

As per her intuitions, she had a suspicious feeling that Madison Zucker and her boss were closer than they let on. The news that was flying around might not necessarily be fake. 

“Thank you,” Madison said before walking up to the door and giving it a knock. 

“Come in.” 

Madison took a deep breath, opened the door, then walked in hesitantly. 

“Sir, I… I really don’t know where the photo came from. My PR team is working on it, so please be rest assured that we will minimize all damages towards you, Mr. Jefferson,” blurted Madison. She didn’t want Alex to think that she was behind the photo. 

Alex glanced up at Madison and noticed how anxious she looked. He soon realized that Madison had misunderstood him. 

He chuckled. “Calm down. I asked you here to tell you that I’ve heard about the scandal and that I’ve already asked my people to investigate. You don’t need to worry about this. We’re working on minimizing all repercussions…” 

Huh? 

Madison stood there in disbelief. He’s not only not blaming me, but he’s also extending a helping hand? 

“Oh, yes. Our company is planning a large–scale variety show. You’ll be in the front and center, and we’ll audition some new talent. So you go get yourself prepared,” continued Alex. 

This scandal would, without a doubt, negatively impact both the company and Madison. 

Thus, he wanted to stage this variety show to discover new talent while bringing in some ratings. 

At the same time, it would also be a way to shift attention away from the scandal. 

“R… really?” Madison felt a wave of emotions hitting her. 

Joining a large–scale variety show meant that she would be able to stabilize her current fanbase and bring in new fans. 

All sorts of emotions were running across her face as she stared at Alex. If not for the fact that she was worried it would piss Alex off, she would’ve leapt onto him and gave him a big kiss. 

He not only didn’t blame her for the scandal, but he was even going to help build her career to new heights.. How could she not feel emotional over this sudden development? 

“Of course, it’s real. We’ll start next month at the latest.” Alex smiled. 

“Thank you, Sir! Thank you! You’re amazing!” chirped Madison ecstatically. 

“I’ve said before that as long as you all work hard, I’ll treat you well.” 

Madison hurriedly pledged her loyalty. “Don’t worry, Mr. Jefferson. I’m willing to do anything and everything for the company!” 

“It’s not like the company will actually ask you to do anything illegal.” chuckled Alex. “Alright, you can go now.” 

Madison looked at him before she bit her lip hesitantly.

Alex noticed her odd expression. “Is there something else?” 

“Yes, Sir. I… I really want to treat you to dinner…,” Madison stated, looking at Alex imploringly. 

Chapter 147 

Alex said with a smile, “We’ll talk about having a meal together after this matter is over.” 

Madison was glad to see Alex change his mind, so she quickly nodded. “Alright. I should get going then.” 

Staring at Madison’s excited expression, a hint of a smile appeared on Alex’s face. 

After that, he took out a cigarette and lit it up, sighing inwardly. 

Despite being a celebrity, Madison was still his employee. 

However, she did not demand much and was easily contented. 

Although Madison had yet to be an international star, she was still an A–list celebrity. 

She owned both wealth and popularity, but she was thrilled only because he gave her a noncommittal reply about letting her treat him to a meal. 

Then Alex sat on the couch with his legs crossed and deep in thought. Should I have a staff meeting? 

Usually, an employee’s greatest motivations are the prospect of career advancement and a decent income. 

Perhaps I should improve our compensation structures. Then I can greatly improve my employees‘ motivations. 

Anyway, I can only execute these plans much later. 

Right now, I should find out the mastermind who spread rumors behind my back.
