A few minutes later, Flossie walked into the living room. Seeing a serious exp**ssion on Herman’s face, she tried to remain calm as she sat down opposite him.
“Speak, what is it? Do you want to slack off again?”
“Flossie…” Herman sat up straight and looked at Flossie seriously. “I know what happened last night.”
Flossie froze as her exp**ssion turned awkward.
“I don’t know why you are dismissing what happened, but I can’t pretend that nothing happened,” Herman took a deep breath. Perhaps he was afraid that he’d scare Flossie off, so he softened his tone a little, “I simply want to know what you’re thinking.”
Flossie was a little surprised as she smiled, “What could I be thinking? You couldn’t possibly think I was serious, right? Isn’t it normal for an artist to have a fling with their manager? I know you were drunk, so I’m not going to force you to take responsibility. Just pretend like nothing happened.”
After hearing these words, Herman’s heart sunk to the depths of the abyss. By the time he spoke again, his voice was so lifeless, he could barely hear himself, “Really? It’s normal?”
“Don’t overthink it. We are both grown adults. We both have our needs.”
“Perhaps, that is what you think, but I can’t treat sleeping with my manager as nothing. You were my first,” Herman said in seriousness. “I can’t continue working with you like this.”
“What do you mean by this?” Flossie’s voice began to tremble.
“What I mean is, either you try and be my woman, or…we break all ties. I don’t want to make things complicated. I’m not just saying this to be responsible. I’m saying this because I felt like you also liked me…”
Flossie froze without saying a word.
Herman smiled like he had realized something, before he stood up to leave. However, before he started walking away, he left behind a few words, “You can look for me when you’ve thought things through.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m tired. I want to get some rest.” After speaking, Herman left the apartment.
But, he himself did not know where he was going. His mind was a mess, but he couldn’t understand why things turned out this way. Perhaps it was because of Flossie’s attitude or perhaps it was because of his own impulsiveness.
At that moment, he didn’t notice a car change lanes in front of him and he directly smashed into their rear…
…
Herman had left for quite some time, but Flossie was still frozen in place. It was currently an important time in Herman’s career as he was about to receive results for his year’s efforts through multiple big award ceremonies. So, this was not the right time for him to slack off.
Flossie stood up urgently but she suddenly received a phone call from the police, “Hello, are you familiar with Herman?”
“What’s wrong with Lafayette?”
“Come to the police station. He’s hit someone.”
Flossie was shocked by what she had heard. But, after a few minutes, she picked up her phone and gave Fletcher a phone call. She couldn’t let him have a scandal at a time like this.
“Vice President Fang, it is currently an important time in Lafayette’s career. We can’t let anything go wrong…”
“Flossie, calm down.”
Hearing Fletcher’s responses, Flossie tried her best to calm down, “Sorry, Vice President Fang.”
“Hurry to the police station to deal with the problem and keep it from spreading.”
“I understand. I’ll go right now…” The reason why Flossie was in such a panic was because she knew that Herman was emotionally unstable from what had happened earlier. So, she was afraid that he had gotten into an accident because of her.
If that was the case, what would she do if something happened to him?
Flossie arrived at the police station with complex emotions. All she knew was, the moment she saw that Herman was fine, her tears automatically flowed out from her eyes.
Herman also looked at Flossie. But, before they could say anything to each other, the police immediately began their interrogation and pulled them back down to reality.
“It’s obvious that you were at fault…”
“I request to take a look at the dashcam footage,” Herman immediately responded. “I indeed hit the other party, but I was driving straight, whereas he changed into my lane.”
“But, the other party claims that you weren’t paying attention and suspects that you were drink driving. Plus, according to the footage we secured, he had indeed finished changing lanes but you did not decrease your speed.”
“I recognize you, you’re a singer aren’t you? Does a celebrity have the right not to follow the road rules?” the policeman said as he pointed to Herman. “Since you are a celebrity, you should set a good example. If you continue like this, it won’t matter how good your songs are.”
Afraid that Herman would actually start a fight, Flossie immediately stepped forward and stood in Herman’s way, “Sorry, we will be careful next time.”
“I admit, I did not step on the brakes in time. But, it is also true that he changed two lanes in one go and did not signal with his lights. You claim that you’ve looked at the dashcam footage. Then, tell me, what road was I driving on?” Herman argued. “I am a celebrity, but how could my search for the truth be considered as bullying others?”
The policeman never expected Herman to make such a fuss. So, he suddenly looked away.
“And you, why would you apologize?” Herman turned and looked at Flossie. “Have I not been innocently accused enough? Did you think that I need you to make an appearance for my problems to be solved?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Flossie, I’ve already made things clear. You are fired from your position. From now on, my business has nothing to do with you.” After speaking, Herman directly made a phone call to the Miller Family housekeeper.
Flossie took a few steps back emotionally. She had never imagined that Herman would say these words.
“Your career is currently on the rise, don’t act recklessly. Why can’t you appreciate all the work you’ve put in?”
“It’s my life; I will make my own decisions. What you think is for my own good is your own assumption,” Herman said before he pointed to the door, “You should leave before the reporters arrive and surround this place.”
Flossie’s heart ached, but at this moment, she no longer knew what identity she could use to persuade Herman…
So, she had no choice but to turn around and leave. Like Herman said, she should leave before the reporters arrived, otherwise, she’d be stuck.
“The young lady was here to help you. Don’t you think your words were a bit harsh?”
“What would you know?” Herman growled at the policeman.
Since she had no relation to him, then he should clearly draw the line. This was best for both of them.
Not long after, the housekeeper rushed over to the police station and after half an hour, Herman was finally allowed to leave. At this time, Flossie was watching from a distant corner as he was surrounded by reporters, but there was nothing she could do…
“Fourth Master, where are we going now?” the housekeeper asked after they returned to the car. “Look at all the reporters that are on your pursuit. Should we return to the Miller Household?”
“OK,” Herman nodded as he leaned back in his seat. “I don’t want to deal with anything right now. I just want to sleep.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just want to laze around a little,” Herman replied. However, he did not immediately close his eyes. Instead, he picked up his phone and made a call to Fletcher, “I want to replace my manager.”
“What happened bet**en you and Flossie?” Fletcher immediately sensed that something wasn’t right.
“Nothing. I simply can’t continue working with her,” Herman replied firmly. “Help me find a replacement as soon as possible; preferably male.”
“I will make arrangements,” Fletcher did not try to persuade him; he could hear the tiredness in his voice. Although he didn’t know what had happened bet**en them, he agreed that separating them was the best option for now.
After receiving his response from Fletcher, Herman relaxed and closed his eyes. By the time he opened his eyes again, he was already at the Miller Household.
