Kenny was startled by the man's low voice and came back to his senses. He spontaneously said 'oh'. When he started the car, his legs got out of control and he immediately stepped on the gas pedal.
The car shook violently, and the document the man was holding in the back seat slipped and fell to the floor.
"Can you drive properly?"
An ominous question ran down Kenny's eardrum, making him wipe his face tearlessly. "Sorry sir, my leg… cramps."
Kenny was heartbroken. He drove carefully along the road. Seeing the intersection in front of him had to turn right, he drove straight ahead.
The man stared deep behind him, his brows covered in ice. "Is this the right way to the center of commerce?"
Kenny was taken aback.
After slowing down the speed, he remembered that his master must go to the trading center to bid for land today.
Kenny glanced into the rearview mirror, bit into his scalp and said, "I'll turn around at the front."
He made mistakes in front of the president several times, it was too much.
But what should he do? He didn't want it to happen, but when he ate with Oliver yesterday, he still missed that one woman named Maria.
He was very anxious now…
After the car turned at the front intersection, the man picked up the documents on the floor and asked in a deep voice as he looked at his driver through the rearview mirror, "Are you sick?"
"Not!" Kenny straightened his back to prove his answer.
Jean raised his eyes and watched his movements. "Has the bidding meeting been held?"
Kenny straightened his face and said, "Sir, you can be sure that all the arrangements are clear."
...
At Aphrodite Agency, 8:30 am.
Lilia was sitting alone in Harold's office, holding her cheek and looking at the scene outside the window with a calm and peaceful expression.
She had been waiting for 20 minutes, but Harold was not here yet.
Lilia looked at the time again, and just as she was about to take out her cellphone, the door immediately opened.
Milia pushed open the door and entered. She didn't pay attention to Lilia and just turned around. "Are you tired? I'll buy you breakfast, okay?"
Behind her was Harold, a handsome, languid-looking man.
He was wearing a coat, the top of his shirt unbuttoned, and his handsome face looked tired.
Before Harold spoke, Milia stood with her back to the door. Her eyes were depressed and her tone softened. "I think you don't have to come with me today. Come back and rest. You've worked really hard for me, let's just say it's a day off."
Their interaction made Lilia amused that she raised her eyebrows.
When Harold saw Milia's affectionate gaze, he only wanted to stare at her. As his eyebrows twitched, he looked at the table, tilted his head and looked at Lilia.
His eyes immediately changed. He stretched out his hand to push Milia out, made some excuses then immediately closed the door.
Milia was confused why she was outside. When she knocked on the door and turned the knob, she found that the door was locked from inside.
Curious, she walked to the window and knocked on it. "Harold, you ..."
Before she could finish her words, she faintly saw the scene inside through the window.
Someone was there!
Milia frowned, covering the burning color under her eyes. She looked closely through the window and her expression changed in an instant.
It turned out that Lilia was here!
Was that why he forced her out and locked the door?!
Milia was so annoyed, so she stomped her legs and went to the president's office upstairs.
She only found out two days ago that Lilia's contract with the Van brand was actually free.
It seemed she really didn't know what Lilia was thinking. Even if she was declared as the brand's only global ambassador, the agency simply didn't make a cent, and this already made Albert very angry.
'I thought you were a sneaky fox… Turns out I'm right!'
In the office, Lilia carefully looked at Harold's tired face. She frowned. "Didn't you sleep last night?"
The dark circles were too black.
Harold pressed his temples with both hands, picked up the cigarette case but his movements stopped. Then he changed hands and threw it back into the drawer.
He slumped down on the chair, with his right foot and ankle resting on his knee. "I haven't slept day and night, Albert might want to kill me!"
"What happened?"
Lilia's faint smile gradually faded. She watched Harold tapping his nails on the table.
Harold sighed heavily. "After the press conference, Albert asked me to officially act as Milia's agent. He gave away three contracts yesterday morning, all of which belong to Milia. He also asked me to negotiate contracts in one day. Two of them are in a neighboring city. I just hurried back at 7 this morning."
Oh, so he started using Harold so that Lilia wouldn't get a chance with him!
Lilia sneered. "So this is the move he made? On the day of the press conference, I saw that his face was very entertaining. But since I left early, I didn't have time to talk to him."
"Don't pay attention to him, he is determined to raise Milia now. I really hate to face that girl every day!"
Harold hated Milia from the bottom of his heart! Especially after finding out what he had done to Lilia— Harold couldn't wait to tear her to pieces!
Lilia raised her eyebrows and a sly light flickered in her eyes. "Since Albert wants to support Milia, let's do it together. Starting today, all my work will include Milia's name."
"If the co-organizer asks any further questions, you can just say what I said after this. If they want me to attend any event, they have to invite Milia too. This is my only condition. As compensation, I can reduce the fee by 30%!"
Harold raised his eyes and frowned. "Are you crazy?"
"Of course not! By the way, don't I have an interview tomorrow? I need you to call the TV station and tell them I will take Milia with me."
Until now, Harold couldn't find out what Lilia was up to.
He couldn't even see the slightest hint.
But he trusted her, so even though Harold was feeling sad, he nodded and agreed. "Okay, if I hadn't known you well, I'd have thought that you would submit to Albert."
In doing so, Lilia would be seen as cooperating with Albert's goals for raising Milia's popularity.
Lilia's mouth brought out a playful smile. She looked at Harold and stood up at once. "You go to the lounge and take a nap. After saying hello, I'll go to the president's office."
Harold continued uneasily. "I'll come with you!"
Lilia wanted to refuse, but seeing him insisting, she didn't say anymore.
...
Milia was sitting in front of the boss' desk in the president's office with a sad expression on her face. "Mr Albert, Harold really worked hard for me, let him be my personal agent. Lilia is a well-established adult artist now, so please leave her to another agent in charge. There's nothing wrong with her business, right?"
However, Milia might have forgotten her place.
In other words, she was overestimating her status and value in Albert's eyes.
At this time, Albert leaned back on his boss chair with a relaxed expression on his face.
He lifted his chin slightly and looked at the chattering Milia.. "Adult artists should let adult agents take over. Just because you have been on the rise for the past few days, how come you are this brave to go against my arrangements?"
