Matt stopped the car and turned to look at Ryder. Richardreally met Claudia Kingston? He understood the fact that Richarddid not care about the company at all but how can he not know the most famous actress in the company right now? She earned most of the company's funds. How can the CEO of Helian Entertainment not know his most important actress? Is this for real? Matt stopped the car so he could look at Ryder. Is this man even for real tight now

"You met Claudia Kingston? Are you telling me that the woman you met today told that her name is Claudia Kingston ? I understand that you are not worried about the company but how can you really not know who Claudia Kingston is? She is currently the biggest actress in the whole of Helain Entertainment. She earns most of the funds for the company! How can you not know that?" Matt asked. He really wanted to faceplam himself. What is wrong with Ryder? Does he hate the entertainment circle that much?

Richardsighed. So she really is an actress. Well, that still did not change the fact that she had made fun of him and made him look bad. He is RichardThompson! In his entire life he has never felt this insulted! But that woman called him crazy! She said that he is a reporter and a stalking fan! Why on Earth will be possibly want to stalk a woman? Celebrity or not, he is definitely not going to let her go. He is going to make sure that that woman pays for what she did to him!

"I don't care if she is a celebrity or not! She completely insulted me and disregarded me! I even told her that I am the CEO of Helian Entertainment! But she did not believe me! She even said that I am the CEO then she is the daughter of the chairman. When have I ever had a sister like that? If she is a top celebrity at the company then she should know me right? But she doesn't know me! What kind of a celebrity is she? When did our company start signing women like that? She really is something!" Richardsaid. He was so angry that he could not help complaining.

Matt sighed and started the car again. Well, he could not blame Claudia for not knowing who Richardis. For one thing, he is just the CEO in name. He never did any work. Between him and his father, the both of them took care of his work for him. And Claudia, well that woman is really weird. She never dealt with the management of the company. She let her Manager take care of those things for her. She told him once that she doesn't want to get involved in things like that. She just wants to be an actress.

And besides, she never had any scandals before. So there was no need for her to meet the management. She managed her private life really well and the company did not need to get involved. "Well,it's not a surprise that she doesn't know you. You never do any real work in the company! You've never met any of our artists formally! So how can she know you? And besides, she doesn't get involved in the management of the company. She just lets her manager do it"Matt explained.

Richardwas getting even more angry. Is his friend taking the side of that woman right now? How can he take her side in front of him? She is a woman who insulted him and kicked him out of her car just because he asked her for a ride! How can he forget about that? In his entire life, he had never been that humiliated! Richardoriginally thought that he would have to spend a lot of efforts to find her and make her pay for what she did to him but now that he knew that she is an actress signed with his company, it will be much more easier for him to get his revenge.

So what if she is some celebrity? All women are the same as far as he was concerned! He is just going to make her life difficult from now on! So she knows not to annoy him again. She may be a celebrity but he is still the CEO of Helain Entertainment. "So what if she is a popular celebrity? You don't know how much she humiliated me! I'm just glad that no one saw that. Who the hell does she even think that she is? It's good since she works for the company. I'm just going to make her life difficult from now on!" Richardsaid. There was a sinister smile on his face.

Matt shook his head. This friend of his just doesn't know how to listen. He wants to make life difficult for Claudia? Won't that affect his company then? He really doesn't know anything about management at all! "What? You want to make things difficult for Claudia? I'll advice you not to do that. Really don't mess with her. If you do something to her it will end up affecting the company. Don't do anything stupid Ryder" Matt said. He felt like he was constantly cleaning up after this person.

Richardscoffed. He did not take him seriously at all! He is going to do whatever he wants to that woman. He did not believe that there was someone who could stop him. Isn't she just some actress? He can definitely handle her. For the past five years, he had met with all kinds of women. He had dealt with all kinds of women. He did not believe that there was a woman he could not handle. Even if she is a celebrity! However, right now Richarddid not know that trouble was already brewing for the both of them.

Immediately Claudia entered her house, she saw her mother waiting for her. She had obviously heard about how that blind date had gone and she was here to nag her because of it. Rose who was standing behind Claudia nudged her and tried to tell her not to argue with her mother but Claudia did not listen. Actually, deep down Rose knew that they might not be able to avoid an argument today. Claudia did not want to have anything to do with any men but Vivian definitely won't have that. She is her only daughter, how can she live with that?

Claudia walked over to the sofa and sat down. Her mother Vivian walked over to her and sat across her. Now they were both facing each other. Vivian did not say anything but Claudia was already frustrated from the silence. What is this woman even doing right now? "Mom, what are you doing right now? I told you that I don't want to meet anyone yet you keep forcing me! And if you are going to find me a blind date you should do a good job of it right? How can you ask me to meet that idoitic guy? How does he even quality as handsome?" Claudia asked. Immediately she mentioned the word 'handsome', the face of that idoit that got into her car flashed in her mind. Claudia shook her head. Why is she thinking of him?

Vivian glared at her daughter. She really could not understand how her brain works at all. Why is she so against starting a relationship with someone? She is already twenty five years old this year! Even though she is an actress right now she possibly can't be an actress forever right? She still has to get married and she still has to start a family! How can someone even be like this? She just could not figure out what this daughter of her was thinking!

Vivian was an old fashioned woman and she believed that no matter how successful a woman is, she still has to get married and start a family. Her daughter is already twenty five, so why is she trying so desperately to avoid it? "Do you even know what you are talking about right now? Raymond Campbell is the son of the owner of Helian Entertainment! How can you insult someone like him like that? Do you know what I went through to get you that blind date? What do you really want Claudia? Why can't you give him a chance?" Vivian asked. Raymond seemed to really like her and yet she completely insulted him.

Claudia rolled her eyes. Her mother will never get what is going on in her mind. Claudia knew what Vivian was thinking right now. She is a woman. No matter how successful she is, she can't be like this forever. She can't be a celebrity forever. She still has to get married, start a family and find a man to take care of her. But Claudia did not think like this. As far as she was involved, it had absolutely nothing to do with her. Getting married, starting a family, all of those things had nothing to do with her at all!

She could support herself and her mother for the rest of her life so what does she need to get married for? Why does she need to bother herself with such useless emotions? She doesn't want to do it and her mother won't be able to force her! "Mom, I don't want to do any of that. I can definitely support myself for the rest of my life so why do I need someone else? It's something that I can do for myself! I don't need anybody else and let me tell you something mom. I hate men like Raymond Campbell the most!" Claudia said. She did not forget that he had called her just an entertainer!

Vivian glared at her daughter. She really could not understand how her brain works at all. Why is she so against starting a relationship with someone? She is already twenty five years old this year! Even though she is an actress right now she possibly can't be an actress forever right? She still has to get married and she still has to start a family! How can someone even be like this? She just could not figure out what this daughter of her was thinking! No matter what, she isn't going to let her live her life like the. She is going to make sure that her daughter settles down!

If she doesn't like men like Raymond, she can definitely find more blind dates for her. Claudia just has to tell her the kind of men that she likes and she is going to handle it for her! Does she need to be so stubborn all the time? She just does not want her daughter to be lonely! "Alright, if you don't like someone like Raymond, then tell me who you like. Just tell me the kind of men that you like and I'm definitely going to find a blind date for you that suits your taste! Claudia I just don't want you to be alone! It's hateful to be alone!" Vivian said.

He wasn't expecting her to react like this.Rose rolled her eyes when she saw the suprise on his face. Did he think that she was going to be charmed if he did something like this? Whatever.

One word popped in her mind to describe the man in front of her and that was the fact that he was a pervert!"What did I do?" Richardasked nonchalantly. When it came to acting shamelessly, there really was no one who could beat him up to it."You.. you were clearly taking advantage of me!" Claudia said."So...?" He asked raising an eyebrow. At least, he did not regret it. Her waist .. it was soft to the touch!"Pervert!" Claudia spat out the word in her mind."Pervert? Since you are already accusing me, I should act like one right?" Richardasked.Claudia felt her face go red. She had always been the one embarrassing people with her words. She was suddenly faced with a completely shamel

That was sure.Claudia sneered. "immediately you saw my mother, you addressed her as mother. When did the both of you get so close? Is it because you don't have any intention of breaking up with me and you already got close to her?" Claudia asked with a smile on her face."...."Once again, Richardwas mercilessly defeated!

You have another reason right? What's it?""You figured it out?" He asked him.Matt smiled knowingly.

He was nervous at first but when he thought about the fact that she probably likes him, he calmed down.She should be happy that he was touching her like this right?He was preparing to apologise before but he held himself back. Why should he apologize to her? Sbe did like him right? If she likes him then she should be open about her feelings...after all they were so many women who liked him.
