Chapter 8
The entire building was buzzing with discussion!
Julie Carpenter, the receptionist, had just informed the group chat that a woman who seemed to be
Howard’s mistress had arrived for a visit, and now the company was suddenly bringing in a new talent
manager!
Everyone started speculating if the talent manager and Howard’s mistress were the saine person. Little
did they know the company had actually undergone a change in ownership.
Nonetheless, Sheena did all that to understand the company better.
On the one hand, she had never worked with the entertainment industry behind the scenes before, so © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
she needed Howard’s help to navigate through the formalities.
On the other hand, she was unfamiliar with the company’s personnel and decided to infiltrate the staff
in secret by becoming their colleague. That way, she could better understand the situation and clean
the house later.
Amidst the ongoing suspicions, Julie watched as the handsome Yuri approached her with stars in her
eyes.
He was even smiling at her!
Julie suppressed the excitement in her heart. She tucked back a strand of hair behind her ear, then put
on what she thought was a beautiful smile.
“How may I help you, Mr. Flores?”
Julie was nervous. She wondered if Yuri was about to ask her out.
However, Yuri’s face quickly turned cold as he said indifferently, “You’re fired. Pack up your belongings
and leave!”
“What?” Julie’s excitement vanished in an instant and she burst into tears.
She had lost her job!
Who did she offend?
Her tear–stained face froze when she remembered what had happened earlier.
Could it be that woman from earlier?
Filled with resentment, Julie quickly made a phone call.
Howard dragged Sheena to dress up because they were attending a banquet in the evening with
notable businessmen, celebrities, and upper–class individuals.
At dusk, the Eastern Hotel, a luxurious seven–star hotel in Farlem, was buzzing with anticipation as the
upper–class socialites and executives exchanged greetings at the entrance. Suddenly, a Lamborghini
Huracan pulled up to the entrance.
Elijah stepped out with Jennifer as his companion. He exuded an air of nobility and power, while
Jennifer was the embodiment of elegance and charm.
As the two appeared, the crowd began to buzz with excitement.
“Wow, Mr. Freeman is really handsome! Who is his companion? She’s so elegant!”
“Don’t you think they’d make a perfect couple? I’m so jealous!”
“Is Mr. Freeman’s secret wife whom he has kept hidden for three years? They seem so deeply in love!”
Jennifer felt the envy of those upper–class socialites and lifted her chin proudly.
She was the illegitimate daughter of the Moore family and was considered a shame in their eyes since
she was young.
Then again, why did that matter?
Elijah was going to marry her, and she would definitely be the center of attention when she attended
those high–profile banquets!
Soon, she would become Farlem’s number–one socialite!
“Wow! It’s Howard Lawson, the CEO of Angle!”
Just as Jennifer was feeling pleased with herself, she heard the crowd stirring again.
Next, she saw a limited–edition Rolls–Royce Phantom gracefully pull up at the venue.
Howard was the first to step out, standing tall at 1.88m. He exuded an aura of confidence that attracted
gasps from the crowd of socialites.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he smiled and bowed slightly, reaching inside the car to assist the person
inside.
Rumors had it that Howard had no interest in women, but this time, he actually brought a female
companion with him!
Everyone was curious, trying to sneak a peek inside the car.
As the person got out of the car, a pair of fair and slender legs appeared, adorned with a pair of
expensive black, diamond–studded high heels.
Following that was a black fishtail gown, a limited–edition custom design accentuating the woman’s
graceful and slender figure, making it impossible to look away.
The crowd was mesmerized when she looked up.
Her beauty was like that of a black swan–elegant, cold, and captivating.
Standing right in front of them, Jennifer’s expression was not only that of astonishment but also
surprise.
Howard’s companion turned out to be…
“Sheena?!”
