She looked at Maria beside her and took a deep breath. It seemed that she had to go back to the company this time. Her body had been well taken care of these past few days, and her spirit was much better than before. She instructed the nurse to take care of Maria before leaving for the company.
As soon as Jane arrived at the company, she immediately called for a meeting with everyone. The team was excited because they hadn’t worked properly since Jane left.
Jane saw all the people in front of her, which made her more determined than ever. She knew that so many people were relying on her alone, and she had to handle everything well.
“I know you’re all feeling down right now, but since Maria is injured, we can’t fight with full force yet. So we have to hold onto what we have now and focus on protecting April’s high-end endorsement deal.”
Afterwards, Jane stood up and gave some guidance to boost their work enthusiasm.
But it didn’t last long; after the meeting ended, bad news came in, “Jane! We just received news that April’s high-end endorsement deal has been snatched away.”
Jane frowned upon hearing this; it was too much for anyone to bear.
“It’s just too much.”
She looked at the data on the screen, and there was a company rapidly rising, which was Tristian’s company.
Her eyes were as dark as the night, and it was this person who had been opposing Star Entertainment, competing for resources.
Originally, the resources were already secured for Jane’s company, but unexpectedly, Tristian raised the price too high and directly snatched the resources away.
This circle was always focused on profits. Whichever side had more money naturally had the resources.
Jane looked at the screen, rubbed her temples, and this matter was really giving her a headache.
On the other side, in Tristian’s office.
He adjusted the glasses on his nose, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth as he saw those resources in his hands, feeling comfortable.
Tristian shook the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and then slid the mouse on the computer screen.
It had to be said that Jane had a keen eye, just a few resources had brought a lot of dividends to her company.
Now that his entertainment company had just gone public, the only one that could compete with it was Star Entertainment.
So based on this, Star Entertainment’s resources would naturally meet his company’s conditions.
As expected, the price was a bit high, but it was truly a win-win situation.
However, these were far from enough. Jane had strength, and he had a bottom line in his heart.
He just received a notification that Jane had returned to the company. Next, she would definitely do everything in her power to deal with him.
Tristian shook the red wine in his hand. It seemed he had to come up with a new strategy.
He entered a string of URLs on the computer, and soon, he transferred the list of employees from Star Entertainment into his own email.
Tristian touched his prominent nose, and the information on the webpage quickly flashed before his eyes.
In the end, Tristian’s gaze locked onto a girl.
“April.”
He finally uttered this name.
April was a newcomer, but she was talented. She had just signed a contract and released a hit song.
However, what interested him the most was the red eyes in April’s photo, innocent like a little white rabbit.
Tristian pulled the corners of his mouth, took another sip of red wine, and it seemed that his target this time would be her.
The next day, just as April arrived at the company, she received a strange text message.
“At 5 o’clock this afternoon, at the café by the company entrance, it’s about Maria. Make sure to come!”
She looked at the message, feeling puzzled. She wanted to call back, but unfortunately, the phone was already turned off.
The image of Maria’s face in the hospital was still vivid in her mind, and she couldn’t rest assured. After getting off work in the afternoon, she checked the time and realized it was exactly 5 o’clock, so she decided to go there with her bag.
She walked into the café, not expecting to find it empty, with no sign of the person mentioned in the message.
April searched around and finally found the presence of a man in the corner.
“Did you call me here?”
April asked cautiously in a low voice.
Who knew that when the man turned around, he smiled wickedly at her. “You’ve come.”
April was startled by the smile, swallowing nervously. For Maria’s sake, she could only muster up the courage to sit down.
“I am Maria’s brother. I heard that my sister had an accident these past few days. Is it because of your boss?”
The man in front of her wore glasses, covering his originally sharp and piercing eyes, making it difficult for April to see what he was thinking.
“Don’t misunderstand, our boss didn’t do anything,” April denied directly.
“I hope you can tell me what happened. Otherwise, I will make my sister resign immediately,” he continued.
Who knew that the man in front of her suddenly changed his expression. His previously upward-turned mouth now flattened, and his whole demeanor became fierce.
“I… I don’t know,” April stammered in response to the man’s questioning. Following Jane’s instructions, she closed her eyes, afraid to meet the man’s gaze.
“You better answer me properly,” the man said sternly.
Tristian stood up and approached April step by step, his gaze sharp, causing April to dare not open her eyes.
He wanted to extract information from April to find out what Jane’s next plan was.
“I…,” April began to speak.
“April!”
Just as April was about to break down, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
She turned her head abruptly and saw Marco rushing towards them.
April regained her senses and realized that Tristian was only a few centimeters away from her. Frightened, she screamed and used all her strength to push Tristian away.
However, April pushed too forcefully and had nothing to support her behind. While pushing the man away, she herself began to lean backward.
Just when April thought she was about to embrace the ground tightly, she found herself falling into a warm embrace.
She opened her eyes wide and saw Marco’s face magnified in front of her.
“You!”
April’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment. She immediately covered her face with her hands, and in the next second, Marco helped her stand upright again.
“Who are you?” Marco asked, shielding April behind him and giving a cold gaze to the man whose face was hidden behind glasses.
Marco had just finished work and noticed that April’s position was empty. Normally, she wouldn’t leave so quickly after work, so her behavior today caught his attention.
April didn’t have many friends here, so the person she would meet immediately after work must be important.
