The atmosphere immediately became tense.
“No, of course not!” Ryan quickly lowered his head and mumbled, “I was just surprised, that’s all.
After all, you gave up everything to promote her, even going back on your own principles!” “Well, things change.
We have to treat all our celebrities fairly regardless of their seniority and fame.
We’ll fire anyone who disobeys that rule,” Xavier announced.
At that moment, someone entered the room with a message for Xavier.
Generally, Xavier would tell them to wait until the meeting was over, but Xavier’s expression changed immediately when he heard Leia’s name.
He got up and clapped his hands loudly, startling the others in the room.
’ Alright, let’s stop here.
We can always continue tomorrow if there’s anything else that needs discussing.
It’s about time for me to get off work.” After that, he pushed the chair away and left quickly.
The members of the board of directors looked at each other in shock.
“Why did the president suddenly change his mind? Has he finally given up on Shirley?” “Hah, he’s probably found another pretty face.
Whoever it is, I hope she’s better than Shirley.
If not, this year’s financial report will be terrifying!” “Didn’t you guys hear? I heard that his new girlfriend is Ms.
Leia Osborne!” Gasps and whispers echoed around the room.
Leia? Wasn’t she Xavier’s enemy? “Well, if that’s true, it certainly makes for a good story.
It may make us money if we turn it into a movie,” Ryan rubbed his chin and said contemplatively.
Xavier eagerly opened the door to his office, and saw Leia standing in front of the French windows.
He quickly walked up to her and hugged her from behind, kissing her neck as he murmured elatedly, “My darling, you finally came to see me.
You want to tell everyone about our relationship now, right?” When they started dating, their behavior changed drastically.
In the past, Leia had been the clingy one, while Xavier was always uncommitted and vague.
He had always been reluctant to officially make her his girlfriend, but now, he was the one who wanted to announce it to the world.
He had become the clingy one in the relationship, and always wanted to hug and kiss her.
However, Leia was concerned about her work, and requested a secret relationship instead.
“I don’t understand why we can’t expose our relationship.
You’re not a celebrity, so it won’t affect your career, right?” He complained while hugging her.
“I’m not a celebrity, but your ex-girlfriend is.
You don’t know how horrible her fans are.
If we expose our relationship now.
I’ll become the homewrecker that ruined your relationship with her.
They’ll give me a hard time, and my career has just begun, so I don’t want to risk it,” Leia explained rationally.
Xavier had doted on Shirley for the past few years, so whenever any female celebrities or streamers flirted with him, Shirley’s fans would attack them online until they suffered a social death.
Leia had not achieved much in the past, but recently, she had established a small media company specializing in brand marketing.
If her reputation was ruined, she would be doomed.
Xavier insisted stubbornly, ’So? I can support you even if your career is ruined.
You could also come work here, and I’ll turn you into a star.
You’ll get a lot of fans by then and they can fight for you.
You don’t have to be scared anymore.” “Do you want another case like Shirley?” Leia scoffed.
“No, thank you.
I can fend for myself.” “Heh, I do love your independence.
Come here, love… Let me kiss you.” Xavier’s heart flooded with affection for the woman in front of him, and he lifted her chin to kiss her.
To his confusion, Leia blocked him awkwardly and pointed at the back.” Umm… Someone’s here.” Flossie had just come back from the washroom, and had been forced to watch their PDA.
Nonetheless, she was sincerely happy for Leia.
There had been many obstacles in Xavier and Leia’s path, but they had finally become a couple.
“Ugh, I saw nothing.
I can even leave if you guys want, so please carry on.”
Flossie covered her face and turned away, looking embarrassed.
Xavier scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Flossie, you’re here.
Why didn’t you say anything? I didn’t realize….” “It’s alright, it’s just Flossie.
There’s no need to treat her like a guest.’ Leia walked up to Flossie and pulled her into the office, then said to Xavier,” You’re aware of Quinton’s condition, right? Well, Flossie and I came here today to ask if you know any good plastic surgeons.
We want to help him treat his scar.” “I see.
Well, you came to the right person.
I do know a lot of good plastic surgeons, but… are you sure he’s willing?’’ Xavier looked troubled as he explained, “I introduced a good plastic surgeon to him before-one who’s operated on many celebrities.
It would have been easy for the surgeon to heal such a scar, but Quinton refused to go for surgery and argued with me about it, so I didn’t dare to bring it up again.” “Oh, now I remember.
You told me that before but you didn’t update me agaim after that.
I thought you were unwilling because of Halston, but I didn’t expect… it was because Quinton refused it.” Flossie pursed her lips as she thought about it.
Leia wasn’t surprised when she heard that.
