She stood akimbo, and it was obvious that she was furious. The aura around her was intense, and everyone in the scene could tell that she wasn't to be messed with. Although Alexa looked young, it was obvious she had some good backing.Even Max could not help but give her a few more cursory glances."It won't stop with your rent, loan, and tax," Alexa continued to speak, her chin raised as she evened her cold gaze on him. "If I want you and your entire generation to pack up from this city with nothing, no one can stop me."Max could tell she was not going to let it go. Seeing how the boss and the rest of his colleagues looked terrified, he felt uncomfortable and muttered, "Alexa..."She quickly spun to look at him. "I was already furious with that foolish... woman... erm.." she coughed and gazed at him carefully, unsure if he would be angry at her with that term of address."Anyway, I was already angry with July and her stupid lover," she continued to say. "And yet, he came to provoke

Max went silent for a few moments.Upon seeing this, the old man sighed and clicked his tongue. "You still don't want to? I thought you would have made up your mind by now."He was still quiet and seemed to be contemplating some things. Eventually, he looked up at his grandfather and declared, "I'll do it."The old man looked surprised at first but quickly regained his composure and nodded graciously. "You made the right choice. You'll begin working from tomorrow, and your first task is attending the business party being held at Dawn Entertainment Corps.""Our affiliate company?" Max asked in surprise. It was just one of the many companies affiliated with the Norman family, and usually, the main branch didn't need to intervene with its activities. "Yes. I've seen that you're a bit knowledgeable when it comes to the entertainment industry. You should start with something you're already good at."His words made Max smile bitterly. There was really nothing he could hide from his grandfa

"Stop!" A female voice rang out from the other end of the red carpet.When everyone looked over, they saw a lady in a maroon fishtail dress standing there. She was quite a beautiful woman, and although her makeup seemed pretty heavy, it fit her disposition and highlighted her beauty.When Max saw her face, he instantly recognized who she was. Claire Moretti - July's biggest rival in the entertainment circle.The faces of the other people also changed once they saw who she was, especially the rude usher. Who did not know who Claire Moretti was? She was the most ill-tempered of actresses and so sharp tongue that whenever she had it out with even the most bothersome of reporters, they would eventually run away with their tails between their legs.She was what people would call the 'shrew of entertainment industry.'Claire looked at their faces and smiled haughtily seeing how careful they were. She looked quite arrogant, and even the reporters didn't dare to tale her pictures wantonly.Th

"What... are... you... talking about?" She stammered, her eyes boring holes into both of them. "Claire, you better don't spout nonsense. If you say anything misleading about me, I won't forgive you." Claire, however, gave an unbothered laugh at her reaction, folding her arms. "Did I mention your name? What are you so sensitive for?" July clearly had no words to retort. She could only keep shut knowing that Claire was deliberately trying to piss her off. Claire was delighted after getting the upper hand. She had a bright smile on her face, and as she spoke, her red lips curled seductively yet with a hint of schadenfreude. Greg, who was beside July, could not help but stare at her a few more times with a rather lascivious gaze. His stare was pretty obvious, which made July even more annoyed, and she stepped forward, blocking Claire from his gaze. Max was also watching their antics now feeling bored, but this time, his gaze was on Claire. She was really deserving of being an actre

Max was satisfied."Okay.""Do you need me to do anything else, Sir?""That's all." Max shook his head lightly, and his gaze moved to the entryway again. Claire was already done with her call and was looking toward the washroom in waiting. "If there is nothing else, let's talk some other time.""Alright, sir. If you need me for anything, you can call me directly.""Okay."Then, he disconnected the call and washed his hands before leaving the washroom. He quickly joined Claire back, and once she saw him approach, she sighed with a furrow of her brows."I was just about to come looking for you," she said while folding her arms. "What happened? What took you so long?"Max slipped a hand in his trouser pocket and looked around them. "I had a call."It seemed that all the attendees had arrived already, and the event had begun in full swing. All the reporters were gone, and even the usher was no longer at the door.She stared at him, looking doubtful, but she didn't probe and simply nodded.
