It was the first ti Anna Thornton experienced being surrounded by young girls. Before, it was always n flocking around her.
This brief experience in n’s clothing made her realize that girls are more adorable. Look at the eyes that surround her, each filled with pure love and admiration without any impurity, not seeming perverse or blatant. She even received many paper cranes and handwritten greeting cards from the girls.
The hearts of these young girls are truly simple, pure, and beautiful, unlike certain n with deep thoughts, plotting silently to trap your whole family.
However, these girls were also hard to deal with. Anna had to put in quite so effort to extricate herself.
When she and Mary rushed back to the set, Wyatt Jagger was throwing a fit.
"Is she acting like a diva just to show ? Does she even realize who is in charge of this drama now, making wait for her? She thinks she’s sothing special just because a movie she did happened to do well at the box office? If not for her good luck, she’d still be mingling with the wealthy circles, looking for the next target to hype up with."
"That’s just too harsh!"
Mary said as she was about to step forward and argue with Wyatt.
But Anna held her back.
"Anna, I’m sure that Marilyn Ford has been badmouthing you in front of Wyatt, which is why he’s so against you. And what about this hype thing, you and President Sterling are legitimately married."
"Perhaps not for much longer."
Mary, who was just complaining about Wyatt, suddenly heard Anna say this and was stunned: "Why?"
"Well, it’s better to have fewer issues."
Anna advised Mary, and at that mont Wyatt also noticed her.
"Hey, aren’t you Anna Thornton’s manager? Quickly get your artist here, how much longer does she want to wait?"
"What?"
"Get Anna Thornton over here, didn’t you hear? Are your ears not working?"
"I think it’s your eyes that aren’t working!" Mary couldn’t help but retort.
Of course, she retorted quietly and timidly!
She enthusiastically pointed to the person beside her for the eye-impaired Wyatt: "Isn’t she right here?"
The one beside Mary was Anna Thornton?
Wyatt hadn’t recognized her at first!
He thought to himself, who is this male actor? I haven’t seen him before.
Anna Thornton cracked a smile and waved at Wyatt: "Aren’t we about to take pictures? Let’s go."
She even imitated a more neutral voice, which left Wyatt dumbfounded.
Actors need to challenge different roles, so so drama schools also include courses in voice training.
For Wyatt, who was professionally trained, this wasn’t difficult.
But Anna Thornton wasn’t formally trained. For her to reach this level, it would either be due to innate talent or hard-earned practice.
Either way, it clashed with Wyatt’s impression of her as rely a pretty face.
What surprised Wyatt even more was coming up.
Anna stood with him for the photo shoot in their male costus, and the photographer asked them to strike the most handso pose.
As a result, Anna ended up looking more handso than Wyatt!
The female lead being more handso than the male lead? That’s unthinkable!
Wyatt, the top idol drama actor, with countless fans swooning over him, was outshined by Anna’s flamboyant performance?
Wyatt was indignant: "Delete them. Retake!"
Retake it was, but Anna had many poses for pictures.
So many that the photographer had to intervene: "Anna, why don’t you give that pose to Wyatt? Wyatt, try copying Anna’s expressions and actions. Anna, change to a new pose and tone down your charm a bit, as the female lead shouldn’t overshadow the male lead in a drama."
"Okay! Got it!"
Initially worried that the two leads wouldn’t get along, from the photoshoot it was evident.
Their professionalism under the spotlight transford them from themselves into their roles in the drama—Sean Shaw and Charlotte Lynn.
...
Aethelgard—
Sterling Group was under a storm cloud from top to bottom.
"President Sterling, Director Yeats said he’s been suddenly hit by a highly contagious viral flu and is currently in an isolation ward at the hospital, vomiting and having diarrhea. It seems he won’t make it to today’s eting."
"Send his dismissal letter along with this month’s company settlent to the hospital as consolation, so that he won’t have to co to work in the future."
"President Sterling, Director Yeats stated that he’s heroically making his way from the hospital to the company for the eting, and his previous leave request should be disregarded."
"Instruct the security at the gate to only let him in if he’s wearing protective gear. We don’t want him spreading the flu or idiocy to others in the company."
Ethan: "...Got it!"
President Sterling had been terrifying lately.
Since coming back from Veridia, Conrad Sterling had been holding nonstop etings for three days straight. No wonder the rest of the company couldn’t handle it and tried every possible way to take leave.
But Conrad wasn’t an easy-going boss, nor one to be swayed by emotions. Anyone who took leave was fired! Late arrivals and early departures were also fired!
Even those who couldn’t answer the CEO’s deadly questions in etings, hesitated, or looked shifty would be fired!
During this period, the entire Sterling Group was enveloped in an unprecedented sense of crisis. All employees were on edge, not knowing who would be struck down next, praying it wouldn’t be them.
Many colleagues had tried probing Ethan, but this ti Ethan truly didn’t know; he hadn’t gone to Veridia with President Sterling.
However, Ethan was sure it was issues between Anna and President Sterling affecting his emotions so greatly.
He sensed the problem was serious this ti; only the person who tied the knot could untie it, and outsiders could easily find themselves in hot water.
So he dared not ask or say anything.
He could only quietly prepare a cup of cooling herbal tea in President Sterling’s office, waiting for him to drink after the eting.
Unfortunately, that was elusive!
It was already past ten at night, and Conrad Sterling had no intention of ending the eting.
Others in the company truly couldn’t hold out, each covertly poking their thighs with pen tips under the table to stay awake.
Who’d have thought that modern corporate executives would need to resort to ancient thods of self-discipline?
Even at this level, President Sterling remained oblivious to the mounting complaints.
Word had it that President Sterling got injured in Veridia and was involved in a lawsuit.
His own body just healing, yet he was pushing through consecutive groundbreaking working days without rest?
But even if he can endure, with his robust health, others are mortal beings.
The first who couldn’t endure it was Yasmine Winters, the head of Human Resources.
There were reports of her feeling imnse dizziness and weakness during the eting.
Yet Yasmine Winters insisted on standing up and walking to President Sterling before collapsing.
Unfortunately, her efforts didn’t earn her a personal princess carry to the hospital by President Sterling.
Conrad Sterling just had soone bring a stretcher to carry Yasmine Winters away and continued the eting.
Even Crestlight Hospital sent over two luxury ambulances to stand by at the company entrance, clearly prepared for a long haul.
Previously, during President Sterling’s absence for more than a month, everyone acted like kids without a teacher, treating work as a holiday in a spree of joy, becoming lax.
Seeing how things panned out now... damn, now they’re truly regretting slacking off!
Finally, relief ca for everyone on the fourth day when Granny Chandler brought two little kids to the company.
