Chapter 82 Keep Your Distance From Her
Eugene was a touch surprised, for he’d thought that Marcus Cohen would utter a few imploring remarks. While he couldn’t have changed his mind, he had to answer the call for Olivia’s sake. I didn’t expect Marcus Cohen to be such a straightforward person that he gave his artist up without even asking what had transpired. The corners of his mouth lifted a fraction. “Sure. Let’s get together sometime.”
Marcus’ voice drifted out of the phone. “Okay. I’ll leave you to do your work first, then.”
The corners of Olivia’s mouth twitched unbidden. This cousin of mine is really smart. He’s making his stance clear to Eugene Nolan when I’ve obviously related everything to him via WhatsApp. She deliberately had Luca make this call so that he would harbor no illusions. Metrostar Entertainment couldn’t possibly allow an artist of his character to stay since he’d started puffing up before even achieving anything much.
After hearing the exchange, Luca’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he almost passed out from fright. He persisted in apologizing while bowing. “President Nolan, I’m sorry. Ladies, I’m sorry. I’ve realized my wrongdoing now.”
Olivia threw him a placid glance and remarked indifferently, “How did Metrostar Entertainment produce such trash like you?” After saying that, she turned and looked at Eugene. “President Nolan, since he has been fired by Metrostar Entertainment, he’s been suitably punished after all. So, let’s just drop it at this.”
“Is this even punishment? The two of you are fine only because he was impeded by the situation, not because he has repented and decided not to take it further,” Eugene commented placidly.
Sighing, Olivia replied, “I know. If you hadn’t been here today, the ramifications might have been disastrous for me and Kate, but it’s tantamount to career suicide now that something like this happened to him at the height of his career. Thus, I don’t want to pursue this matter further.”
