Chapter 1283
Shirley was a new rising star. Although her commercial value was average, her fans and fame wereexcellent. Thus, her whereabouts were a secret, and it was hard for ordinary people to meet her. Evenafter asking around, Leia didn’t gain any useful clues. Finally, she braced herself and went to UniversalEntertainment.
She’d decided to ask Xavier about Shirley. After all, Shirley was his first love, so he should knoweverything about Shirley.
When the young receptionist saw Leia, she immediately got up and welcomed her enthusiastically.“Miss Osborne, you must be here to see Mr. Stuart. He’s in his office now. You can go up withoutmaking an appointment.”
“Oh… Okay.” Leia scratched her hair and looked at the eager receptionist doubtfully. She had datedXavier secretly in the past, and not many people had known about it. She had to go through a verycomplicated procedure every time she went to Universal Entertainment to see him, and meeting himwithout an appointment was very difficult, so this was rather strange.
As she headed to Xavier’s office, many employees stole glances at her. If they accidentally met hergaze, they would immediately look away guiltily. The whole office building seemed to be engulfed ingloominess, and it was like everyone was walking on eggshells.
However, her sudden arrival seemed like a ray of hope to the employees, and everyone welcomed heras if she was their savior.
“Miss Osborne, this way please.” Another charming female employee was even more enthusiastic asshe led Leah into the elevator. She even considerately handed a pack of tissue paper to Leah. “MissOsborne, please take this-you might need it later.”
Leia felt like she was being led into the battlefield. She carefully asked the lady, “What’s going on? Hasthis building been hijacked by terrorists or something? Are you guys being held hostage?”
“Er, well…” The employee swallowed. She wore a tight skirt and high heels, and her posture was stiff.“It’s worse than a terrorist. We’re not hostages but innocent people… Mr.
Stuart will deal with us if we’re careless.”novelbin
“What do you mean? Is Xavier out of his mind? Is he attacking people now?” Leia asked incredulously,then added, “He’s not an emotional person. Did his first love hurt him? Is that why he’s venting hisanger on his pitiful employees?”
“We don’t know the details, but he changed after talking to you and Miss White the other day. Healways smiled in the past, and wouldn’t be mad at us regardless of how we joked with him. However,now… we may even get fired if we take a deeper breath these days, let alone make a joke. Thepersonnel department had to replace his secretary three times already, and you won’t believe why theywere fired in
the first place…”
Leia frowned. “Why were they fired?”
“One was five minutes late to work, and the other used a lipstick that was ‘the wrong color’. Andanother was fired because… her name sounds like yours. You’re Leah, and she’s Ayra Dixon. So, shewas fired, but Mr. Stuart generously paid them all twice the usual amount of compensation,” theemployee elaborated as if she was commenting on a book.
However, Xavier’s behaviour was indeed abnormal these days, like a character from a fantasy story.
The employees secretly guessed that his mood swings might either be related to Shirley or Leia. Afterall, he had changed only after meeting them. Shirley was a famous star with a tight daily schedule, soshe rarely went to the headquarters of Universal Entertainment, but fortunately, Leia was here to savethem.
