Gwenda led her all the way to the CEO's office floor.
Cecilia followed her carefully, never once straying off the path.
Having received early notice, the secretary led them all the way to the office.
Knocking on the door, she let them in after receiving permission to do so.
This was Gwenda's first time in August's office since her rebirth.
Nothing had changed, it still looked the same as before.
"Why are you here?"
August asked with a frown, displeasure written all over his face.
Clearly, he was very unhappy with her appearance in his office.
Gwenda pretended not to notice and calmly introduced Cecilia.
"August, let me introduce you to Cecilia Kelly, an artist formerly under KG Entertainment."
Gazing at the direction that Gwenda had waved to, August studied the young artist who was close by.
She was not dressed in a conspicuous manner, but she was indeed a beautiful woman.
However, among the various beauts found within the entertainment industry, a woman like her was only considered ordinary.
Looking away dismissively, August asked, "And?"
Gwenda dashed up to his table and braced herself against the edge. Staring at him intently, she grinned, "My dear cousin, I got her from KG Entertainment. Remember what we agreed to before? As long as I prove myself to you, you'll give me grandma's shares. You can't break your end of the deal!"
August did not expect her purpose to be this. Eyes flashing, he demanded, "So? Just with this, I have to give you the shares?"
"What do you mean?"
The smile dropped off Gwenda's face as she eyed him sharply.
August raised an eyebrow at her as he leaned back in his chair. "I have never heard of this Cecilia before. How do I know that you're not trying to trap me? I'd be suffering quite the loss then!"
"You..."
Gwenda was struck speechless.
"This cousin of mine is still so astute, I've really got to give it to him!"
Gwenda thought in disbelief.
"Then what do you want?"
Knowing that this brat would not give up until she had gotten what she wanted, August inhaled deeply and sighed. "Very well, I'll borrow you the money, but with one condition. If, half a year later, you're unable to return it, I'll consider this as buying your renouncement to all relations with the Reeds."
"Deal!"
Gwenda agreed without hesitation.
Eyeing her for a moment, August eventually asked his secretary to get someone from the company's legal department to come up and draft a promissory note.
After they signed their names, Gwenda soon received the 10 million dollars as promised.
Looking at the money in her bank account, her eyes lit up with glee.
"Just you wait, I'll have you see me in a different light for sure!"
"Uh-huh, sure. We'll talk about it after you've done it."
August was still dismissive of her.
Gwenda did not bother to argue with him. She put away the promissory note and left with Cecilia.
After she had left, August summoned his special assistant, Eric.
"The thing I asked you to investigate from before, how's it going?"
