The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Rachel scowled at Jason’s words.

“I’ll see you at the Deluxe Hall of the Golden Cruise at 7.30PM. I’m sure you’ll meet the people you’re interested in at the cocktail party.”

“I’ll go.”

After hanging up the call, Rachel traded glances with Jolly.

“Jason told me to join a cocktail party with him on the Golden Cruise.”

“The Golden Cruise?” Jolly became startled. “Is it an event organized by the Jockey Club?”

“Do you know anything about it?”

“My dad was one of the founders of that club. When I was a young kid, he used to bring me to the events organized by the club. For some reason, he stopped attending them one day and quit watching horse racing altogether.”

“Did anything happen?”

“I’m not sure. I was already in the university when that happened, so I wasn’t home most of the time.”

Upon hearing that, Rachel fell into her thoughts. Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside.

“Come in,” Rachel uttered.

The person who came in was the secretary to the director of the Advertising Department, Linda Cook. “The director told me to send you this, President Hudson. It is Leroy Bennett’s latest schedule.”

A puzzled Rachel asked, “What do I need his schedule for? Why can’t we contact his agent directly?”

Linda explained, “The director has already come to an agreement with Leroy’s agent regarding the contract. However, Leroy is different from other celebrities-he likes to take things into his hands. Therefore, the contract has to be sent to him and signed by him.”

“Can’t we just meet up with his agent?”

A helpless Linda uttered, “Leroy is the hottest celebrity now, so he has a tight schedule. If we want to book a time slot with his agent to have a meet-up, that will be two months later.”

Upon hearing her explanation, Rachel said, “In other words, you’re saying that we have to fit into his schedule and look for him to get the contract signed wherever he is.”

“That’s right.” Linda appeared embarrassed. Since she was worried that Rachel would be displeased, she quickly explained, “That’s how things work in showbiz, President Hudson. Brands have to cooperate with the hottest celebrities to get them to endorse their products.”

While Rachel was silent, Jolly uttered, “Let me handle this. You can do your own work first.”

“Alright.”

After taking the schedule, Jolly flipped through it and lamented, “It’s all easy money in showbiz, huh? It just proves that these brands are right to look for these celebrities to endorse their products. These celebrities are basically giving themselves airs, but their fans are still willing to support them.”

Rachel knitted her brows. “You should meet up with Leroy. If there’s a problem with his personality, I don’t want him to be our spokesperson. We’re in the market for the long term, not just to sell something quick.”

“I get it. Don’t worry.” As she spoke, Jolly suddenly saw something and frowned. “The Golden Cruise? Leroy is

going to the Golden Cruise as well, Chris.”

“What? Is he also a member of the Jockey Club?”

As Jolly went through the contents of his schedule, she said, “I don’t think so. It’s mentioned here that he’s attending an event, so I think he’s been invited to the cruise.”

“Can you get all the information regarding the Jockey Club?”

“I’ll look into it.”

Jolly ran a quick search about the Golden Cruise and the Jockey Club, but she realized that there wasn’t anything useful. “Why don’t I call my dad and ask him about it?”

“Wait a minute.” Rachel raised her hand to stop her. “There’s no need for that right now.”

Something was probably off since the event on the cruise ship had something to do with Jason. Rachel reckoned that she’d better not inform the older generation about it so that they wouldn’t be worried. Regardless of the purpose of this event, Rachel had to attend it.

“I’m going with you,” Jolly said with the schedule in her hand. “I have to look for Leroy anyway.”
