The Lou Group of Companies serves as the holding company of the whole Lou Group with interests in retail, property and banking. The company also has equity investments in other sectors such as logistics, leisure and food both locally and internationally. It can be said that it is one of the most powerful companies in the country. The huge magnificent building of the Lou Group stands at the center of the Central Business District of City B.Just like any ordinary day, employees at the company were busy as usual. But in the middle of the busy day, a memo was suddenly announced that the old chairman will be coming for a visit and inspection."President, the chairman is on his way to the company." Wang Lou's secretary whispered to him. He was in the middle of a meeting with the department heads. A surprise visit from the Chairman of the Board should not be taken lightly as he still makes major decisions in promoting employees to higher levels. "Why did you not inform me earlier?" He angr
"Have you eaten your lunch?" Jacyn frowned as she read a message from an anonymous number. She put away her mobile phone without replying. It rang again after five seconds indicating a new message."It's me, Liam. Can we have lunch together?" Why should they eat lunch together? They do not have that kind of relationship. "Young Master Lee, I am at work. I'm not like you, you own your time and a boss at work. I can't date at this time of the day." She replied to him. It's been a week since she started her job as the PR Director. She's still learning the ins and outs of the department.Liam was in the middle of the meeting. The head of the accounting department was explaining something when Jacyn's reply came. He excitedly read her message and smiled. The employees inside the board meeting cannot believe what they just saw. The cold and domineering CEO who seldom smiled was now grinning from ear to ear. Young Master Lee who always worked hard and had implemented a no using of mobile p
At the Golden Plaza Hotel…The mere audition for the movie was already considered as a success as many actors and actresses lined up vying for the lead characters. Both A and B-listed actresses were there to audition, hoping to be the lucky one. They were patiently waiting for their turn just to make sure they were casted.For Winnie Lou, she thought that they were just wasting their time. The audition was just like a promotional activity as the main characters were already decided. Just like the lead actress, it was already decided that she'll take the role. The audition was just the formalities.The Lou Group invested in this movie with the intention of giving her the lead role. Of course, it was all because the president of the Lou Group was her father. At first, the director didn't agree because Winnie's capabilities hadn't proved anything. But with just a snap of her dad's fingers, the director changed his mind. There's nothing in this world that couldn't be bought with money. Mon
"And who are you to tell me that?" Director Zhang, who was lost at a minute or two, angrily asked her. He looked at the woman in front of her. She was elegantly beautiful and had respectable features. "As the PR Director of the Lou Group, I am responsible to make sure that we won't take a loss investing in your movie." She meaningfully said. "Seemed we'll be taking a great risk if she's to be the female lead." Jacyn said scornfully while eyeing Winnie Lou."You, you - - - how could you even say that?" Winnie Lou said nervously, afraid to make her angrier. Her acting career was on the line now, she could make her angry or curry favor from her. Why the hell is she targeting her? She's still her cousin, she's still one of the Lou's. Jacyn just looked at her disdainfully, " Aside from her beautiful face and pitiful act, what else could she do? She's more of a vixen, and she could just cry a little harder. What makes her exceptional, then?""That's why we had just our audition. She's the
'I support Miss Lou.' Jacyn heard the man. She frowned and looked at him looking at her with so much gentleness. But it was gone the minute he turned his gaze to others.People bowed their heads as they couldn't take the suffocating aura that he's emitting. For a moment, silence enveloped the surroundings. It was like they're still processing his words."Oh well, Young Master Lee! It's our honor to have you here!" Director Zhang was the first one to speak. He was both surprised and excited. What made this big boss visit a movie audition? Whatever the reason is, it makes him feel important and flattered at the same time. "Yes, yes, Miss Lou here, was already chosen as the female lead." He said after a moment of realization of what Liam had said. He was here to support Miss Lou. Could it be that, that - - - but he heard that Miss Lou was recently engaged with Young Master Liang. He didn't dare to think of it that way. Maybe he's here to support her because she was a good investment. He p
"Your name, please," Director Zhang asked uninterested, the annoyance still visible in his face. Yes, he already agreed to let her audition, but it didn't mean that his decision as to who would take the female lead role will change. He had already promised to give Winnie Lou this role and he would definitely fulfill it. Unknowingly, he was in for the surprise of his life."I am Xia Rong," she humbly said, taking off her face mask and cap.People gasped in surprise when they heard her name and they saw her real look. Xia Rong is back!Xia Rong was famously called the "popstar princess". She has been in the entertainment industry since she was a little child. Her parents were also well known in the industry. She's a great singer, model and actress. She's a versatile and award-winning actress. All her previous movies were blockbuster and all the awards were given to them. Her fan base has already reached globally. Jacyn was her secret best friend. They first met on one of her mall tours
"Yes, Director Zhang. Shall I continue with my act then?" Xia said, all smiles. She knew Jacyn was right. She should prove to them that she could still act. "My, my.. are you sure? I wouldn't want to put you on something like this. I already knew your capabilities like the back of my hand." Director Zhang's worried that she's gonna change her mind. He just didn't want to pressure the girl, who had just come back. Even if she can't act like before, then he will help her. He trusted that she could still act, he trusted her the way she did to him before. Xia Rong nodded knowingly. "Yes Director, I am very sure." She understood Director Zhang, but nevertheless, she still wanted to put on a show. She would want to put Winnie Lou in her right place."Then the stage is yours, Ms. Xia Rong," he agreed as he looked up at her expectantly.She gave them a smile as she turned her back to them. When she turned around to face them again, she's already a different person. She was now the empress
Liam just grinned at her."What would you like to eat?" He asked when she's already settled in her seat. He looked at the girl in front of him, admiration in his eyes. She used to be a bubbly little girl who always followed him around. "A-anything that's edible," she stammered, feeling uneasy on the way he looked at her."Oh, is that so?" He looked down at the menu he's holding. He called the waiter and whispered something.Jacyn raised an eyebrow as she watched him being secretive. She couldn't help being suspicious. What was he planning? Was he planning to put something on her food? Was he that evil? She shivered on the thoughts that she might be on the plate of this monster. She looked around the room, hoping to find an escape route."Are you not comfortable here?" Liam suddenly asked, looking at her thoughtfully. He was done talking with the waiter. She didn't even notice that the waiter was gone. "No-no, I'm okay. I'm just wondering how you manage to reserve here in just a shor
