Chapter 1129
When she returned to Zoey’s hospital room, Zoey, spotting her troubled expression, asked withconcern, “Is it something with the company?”
Maja shook her head, managing a weak smile for her friend. “Zoey, focus on your health. I’m going tohead back to Rosewood Manor for a shower before diving into some paperwork at the office.”
“Alright, but you don’t look so good, Ms. Pennyfeather”
Tm fine”
Maja left the hospital, taking a moment to glance at the overcast sky, a prickling sensation at the cornerof her eyes.
When she arrived back at Rosewood Manor, she showered away the smell of gasoline clinging to herclothes. It was only when she stepped out of the bathroom that she noticed her skin, reddened from thevigorous scrubbing:
It was as if through such actions, she could erase that night with Patric
She forced herself to descend the stairs and down a bitter cup of coffee before heading to the office.
After a meeting where she set the company’s goal for the upcoming month, she buried herself indocuments until midnight.
As the city outside turned into a bright cluster of lights, she lifted her coffee cup, standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, taking in the view
Her phone rang at that moment. A TV station had gotten hold of her number and wanted to invite herfor an interview. She declined politely
When asked if she planned to always remain a mystery to the public, Maja paused, recalling the onlinerumors that she was a hideous woman who loved to sponsor male celebrities.
At this critical time for the company, potential partners were hesitant to bet on the commercial value ofStar Movie Group. If she accepted the interview. it could serve as a promotion for the company, whichwould undoubtedly increase its stock value
All she had to do was portray herself as a commodity, one with a positive image
But she didn’t want to participate in such interviews where hosts typically asked tough questions,especially at a time when Star Movie Group was on the rise. If the Sanders family had connections withthe TV station, she’d be facing immense humiliation.
After
hanging up the phone, she inquired about the upcoming award ceremony
“Ms Pennyfeather, there is indeed an award ceremony coming up. It’s broadcasted live, and Shawnhappens to be nominated for the best actor,” an assistant informed her.
Decided, Maja planned to sit next to Shawn at the event and gradually reveal her identity to theaudience.
Star Movie Group needed publicity, and she was determined to show the partners who had agreed tocooperate the potential of the company!
She’d rather focus on work than on her heartbreak over lan
As he’d said, he could find someone better.
They were from different worlds anyway, and she was tired of constantly trying to reach his level.
Moreover, his words had been utterly demeaning
Men and love were both illusions. Only her career would always remain with her
The next morning, she arrived at the office early, meeting Shawn first
“Shawn, I’ll be attending the Awards tonight I’ll ask the organizers to seat me next to you. Let’s interacta lot during the event to grab more screen time. Star Movie Group needs a lot of publicity right now,and I need to start appearing in public.”
Shawns eyes lit up Maja was going to the event with him!
“Sure, Ms Pennyfeather I’ll interact a lot with you”
Maja glanced at him, noting how increasingly handsome he’d become. Success did breedattractiveness.
She chuckled lightly, nodding her approval for him to leavenovelbin
But Shawn lingered, finally managing to say, “Ms. Pennyfeather, you seem a bit down lately I know anew dessert place that’s really good. If you have time, I can take you there”
Maja rubbed her temples, sighing “No, thank you. I’ve got a lot on my plate at the company”
A shadow crossed Shawn’s eyes, and he left, looking crestfallen
After arranging her seat for the award ceremony, Maja called the head of the PR department
“Buy a trending topic saying Maja of Star Movie Group is pestering lan Make sure it stirs up lots ofnegative comments”
If she had to play the ruthless businessman, she would use all means necessary.
Ever since lan’s interview video was released, he had gained a large fanbase. His reputation wasimpeccable, and he had few scandals. In contrast, any news about Maja only resulted in publicbacklash
So, she’d have their attention first with this trending topic. When they saw the woman sitting next toShawn during the award ceremony, they’d naturally be curious about her identity. This way, she couldgradually make her presence known to the public
