Cordy asked, "Do you have a problem with Director Parker?""No," Zoe replied nonchalantly.Even so, Cordy thought that things were weird between Zoe and Jay.For one, why would Zoe refuse to take his call? Reasonably speaking, one would feel bad if they did not answer a director's call, would they not?Or maybe Zoe was more important than the project?After all, she heard that the TV series was just slightly above B-list, but not actually A-list. And with Zoe's current status in showbiz, she could get S-list scripts whenever she wanted. But while Zoe could throw her weight around, she did not look like the type who would do that."I'm sleepy." Zoe yawned just then. "I'm going to bed.""Okay."Cordy certainly would not pry into the private affairs of others, not to mention that she and Zoe were not that close. But somehow, they were sharing a bed already.-Early the next morning, Cordy made a simple breakfast for herself and Zoe.When a drowsy Zoe emerged from the be

Mandy did not care who the director was, but she was more or less upset after Jay gave her the cold shoulder back at Alan Levine's birthday party. After a long while, Jay finally showed up on set, and the shoot began after a short exchange."Action!" Jay sat in front of the camera, but a frown soon appeared on his face."Cut!" He snapped.Suddenly told to stop, Mandy scowled immediately."What's wrong, Director?" the assistant director quickly asked."She's looking the wrong way, and her position is awkward. She carries no presence in the camera either, and her appearance as well as her costume won't do," Jay said. "The final outcome won't have any of its intended effect."Mandy scowled even harder at his words—no one had ever dared talk to her like that because of her family background!"Prop team, adjust her appearance. I don't want your run-of-the-mill web celebrity cheap aesthetic. As for the actors and actresses, study the script again to understand it further," Jay fin

John had been constantly texting Cordy before he got discharged. While he did not ask her to visit him before he left the hospital, he was talking about everything else. That includes asking if she was busy, as well as offhandedly and casually mentioning that he could get discharged since the doctors told him that he was recovering well.He was really doing everything he could just to get her here to see him.Still, his efforts were not wasted on Cordy as she actually came to the hospital early in the morning.Randy Martin was busy with paperwork, packing up and everything else. On the other hand, John had changed out of his patient garb into a casual light blue shirt, with slim-cut outdoor pants beneath. It was less prim and formal than his usual suit and tie, but it painted him with a carefree elegance while retaining his usual good looks.But as he sat on the couch, still as a pond, he was glowering…That was, until Cordy's arrival. Randy was certainly rejoicing over her

Cordy felt this emotion inside that she could not quite describe, but she ignored it.Soon, they arrived at Chateau Emporio, but before she could speak, John told her, "Dicky's waiting for you inside."And with that, she stopped herself from saying what she would have, just as Winston arrived, greeting them respectfully, "Welcome home, Master John—and welcome, Ms. Levine."So aside from Richard, Winston was here too?!Did that mean John sent Winston away the last time she came over?"Mommy!"A little figure dashed out of the chateau and threw himself into Cordy's arms right then. "Mommy, I missed you so much… but Daddy wouldn't let me see you at the hospital!"It was obviously a complaint.Still, Cordy patiently dropped to a crouch before Richard, explaining, "He was hurt, so he had to stay at the hospital. He would've had to take care of you if you went, and he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.""That's a lie," Richard said sharply just then. "Daddy's just worried that I'd

Cordy glanced at John.She had much to say, but was reluctant to say it in front of Richard.As for Richard, he did not dare to ask more questions under John's watchful eye.Still, Cordy stayed there for lunch and coaxed Richard into taking a nap before leaving.John rode home with her at the backseat, with Hendy driving.The car was quiet until Cordy spoke. "John.""Yeah." He turned toward her. "I may have a blemished past," she said. "But I'm not a loose woman either."John said nothing, but he was obviously taken aback."I understand that you're successful, and women would love you, even throw themselves at you. I also wouldn't deny that anyone likes beautiful things, and neither you nor her might be at fault too—but it's against my principles. I'll be fine if we all stay as friends, but I won't try to go further for anything else."The car just happened to stop below Cordy's apartment block just then and she opened the door, striding away right then and leaving John look

Vince Cartman arrived with a document just then. "Ms. Sachs? The sales report for the first wave is here.""Show it to me," Cordy said calmly. Even as he passed it to her, Vince was reporting excitedly, "It's far beyond what we predicted—sales began at 10 am sharp today, and the more popular designs were sold out in seconds. Sales of the other designs also rose over thirty percent from our forecast, and counting. The numbers from physical stores are still pending, but the feedback nationwide is that they are selling like hotcakes, and they are too busy to count. Even the supplies are barely meeting the demand."Cordy could not resist smiling at that, even as Vince took out an iPad and tapped on the photo gallery. "Humphrey Wickers—our director of sales—has just arrived at the biggest mall in the city for an on-site survey, and here are the photos of our retail stores. Retail stores of other brands on the same floor are basically empty, though it's the same story for retail stores o

Kyle calmed down right then. "What do you mean?"Even so, Noel still looked annoyed, as Kyle's mockery and outburst left her utterly disgruntled.She used to bear with his outbursts because she wanted him.Now that she had zero interest in him, all he said only filled her with spite."Sorry I got a little emotional, Noel," Kyle said, naturally noticing that he had been too harsh, quickly turning mild-mannered as he could clearly tell that Noel had a plan. "Please understand—I'm just worried that you're still helping your sister after she used you."While Noel was not that understanding, she did not get petty since Kyle was still useful to her. "You see, since Starstream Fashion is now wildly popular, every article on them is positive, with the media and netizens flattering them to no end. But if a scandal suddenly hits at this juncture, do you really think Starstream Fashion would retain their popularity? In fact, I expect a dramatic turn of the tide."Though Kyle quickly underst

Afterwards, Kyle and Noel flirted a little before Noel hung up, her eyes projecting savagery just then.

Cordy promptly decided on another large-scale production instead of going the hunger marketing route.She certainly did not expect the autumn collection to sell so well they would go out of stock!
