Ruth grabbed her phone and charged downstairs to argue with Abel, but she was stunned when she saw the living room. Servants in uniforms were cleaning up the place. She could even hear a nanny cooking in the kitchen. When she looked out through the french window, she saw a gardener tending to the plants in the courtyard. After standing frozen on the spot for a while, she suddenly smacked her own head. “Ack! Ow!”She was not dreaming. Abel was reading a magazine on the couch and had long since noticed that she came down. He was already prepared to hear her questions. To his surprise, however, she chose to do something weird instead. “Good morning,” he said with a smile. Ruth approached him while feeling dizzy. “What’s going on, Abel?”At that moment, Mrs. Greenwell came over and said respectfully, “Sir, Madam, brunch is ready.” Apollo came in from the courtyard. “You’re finally awake, Ruth! I just told Abel about these people that I hired.”Ruth was dumbfounded. “You

His breath came down and mingled with Ruth’s. It made her feel as if the air had become thinner. She immediately became a little nervous and mumbled, “I don’t know the type of kisses you do.”“I suppose it’s my fault for not teaching you.”He drew closer while saying that. Ruth moved back feeling unprecedentedly uneasy. Her mind raced. “If you’re going to kiss me, do it! Stop moving so slowly to torment me! My heart’s about to reach the speed of light here!”Just when his mouth was going to touch hers, there was a knock on the door. “Abel, Ruth, your food’s cold. Are you two done?”Ruth whipped her head to the side and forced herself to sound calm. “We’re coming out soon. Start without us.”Then, she turned to Abel and pointed to the door. “Your friend’s asking us to hurry up.”Abel had stopped moving. He did not get up but did not give any answer either, as if he was doing this on purpose. He just stared at her intensely. For some reason, Ruth felt that she always lost t

When Mrs. Greenwell saw that Ruth was not a doormat, she sighed in relief and answered happily, “Alright. I’ll call DH’s headquarters later. Please bring the clothes out.”Her last sentence was directed at the harsh woman. Brand dealers were not idiots and would not destroy their own reputation for a bit of money, especially after receiving complaints from customers. The woman’s expression changed. She could not believe that Ruth would take such a tough stance. “Mrs. Blakewell, don’t they say that we should never burn our bridges? You won’t get anything from making me lose my job! I have the best resources you can imagine. If you want them, they’re yours! I’ll reserve whatever you want for you whenever you want, including the limited-edition dresses! No one else can get their hands on them! Think about it!”This was a trick she habitually used. Limited edition dresses could be used to both threaten and tempt her customers. This was a useful method she could use while she worked

In a show of great sensibility, Kallan asked, “Should I give orders to switch the actress?”Abel put down the name list. “No.”Kallan was surprised. “Tell Joseph to cancel all our current partnerships with Luna and that we won’t be working with her in the future.”Kallan could not quite understand what he meant. “Why aren’t we switching her out for the show if we’re going to cancel all of our other partnerships with her?”Abel’s gaze returned to his screen, and he said calmly, “She has a plan, so I’ll let her take care of it on her own.”The Ruth he knew would not surrender so easily. Since Vincent Dufor had yet to give the final okay, it meant that she had something prepared. Hence, he would give her free reign to do whatever she wanted while feeling completely at ease. On Monday morning, Ruth received a piece of good news when she got to her office. She had been liaising with a company that designed clothes, did makeup, and designed props for movies and shows. They had

Ruth was loud, and the underlying meaning of her words was clear. Taylor had been feigning ignorance and acted as if he had only just noticed what was going on. He turned around to take a look with a surprised expression on his face. “What’s going on?”“We’re sincere in working together with your company. Since we’ve already signed the contract, stop cracking the whip at me and testing me. If you don’t want to work with us, cancel the contract right now. Don’t waste my time.”Both Joachim and Taylor were speechless. Apollo watched Ruth rage with a dark expression on her face and thought. “Bravo!”Once Ruth said that, she stood up to leave. “I’ll send someone to flesh out the details with you later. Please excuse me.”After Ruth left, Apollo did not linger around either. With a fake smile, he criticized Taylor, “Mr. Peele, I believe you weren’t the person who told that guy to do this. But, if you want to have a pleasant time working with us, you should know how to make the best
