“Try to get him on board. No matter how you look at It, Aiken is the best candidate.” The executive nodded. “Okay, we'll try to contact his agency.”
Mala asked, “Is his contract coming to an end soon?”
“Yes, several companies are eyeing him because the chances of him renewing his contract are low. When he first debuted, he had contract issues with his agency, and it was only after he became famous that they agreed to change the terms.”
“Then we should try to get him. We need someone to replace Bruno as our number one artist.” Aiken would be the perfect choice.
“All right, Ms. Maia.”
Before he could continue, the conference room burst open.
Paige hurried inside and said urgently, “Ms. Maia, Bruno’s wife is making a scene in the lobby. She refuses to go unless she sees you. She’s even brought her newborn baby with her!”
Acommotion broke out among the executives.
“What the hell?”
“Bruno had it coming. What on earth is his wife thinking?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“She should be ashamed of herself!”
Maia frowned. “Let’s adjourn the meeting.”
She then got up and went with Paige to the first floor.
When the elevator doors opened, Maia heard Bruno’s wife shouting, “Where’s Maia Burgess? | won't leave without seeing her!
“Go ahead and film me. Put it online and show the world how the so-called leading entertainment company in the country is bullying me!
“Yes, Bruno made a mistake, but Maia has abandoned him to save herself and Starlight! And they even asked Bruno to pay 10 million dollars for failing his contract. How could Maia do this
to us?
“Maia, get the fuck out of your office right now, you coward!”
“Bruno is the coward here, Mrs. Myrtle.” Maia frowned as she emerged from the hallway the lobby. + 15 BONUS
As she approached Myrtle, Maia said, “The evidence was overwhelming, yet he refused to apologize. We tried to help, but he left us with no choice.
“As for 10 million dollars, it's been stated clearly in his contract from the beginning. We have spent much inore than that on him, not counting the losses we suffered due to his scandal.
“And now he asked you to bring your newborn baby here to make a scene. Does he even care about you or your baby?” Stumped, Myrtle backed off as Maia neared her. Stopping in her tracks, Maia frowned and looked toward the door. “Show yourself, Bruno! Don’t be a coward.”
The workers and Myrtle followed her gaze.
Suddenly, Bruno stormed into the lobby while carrying a knife.
“I'm going to fucking kill you, Maia!”
As he lunged at Maia, someone tackled him to the floor.
“Seriously, Bruno? You acted in so many action films, and this is all you got?”
Pinning Bruno down, Aiken snatched his knife and sat on him. “Isn’t this knife a prop? Did you steal it?”
“Aiken?” Maia was surprised to see her. “Weren't you in a shoot in the mountains?”
“Hey, Maia. | finished with the shoot and came back last night. My agent called me this morning, wanting me to host The Quest. But she canceled it. So when | came about the job and saw this guy sneaking around, | decided to keep an eye on him.” Maia nodded and looked toward Paige, who was still in shock. “Have you called the police?”
“Yes, they are arriving soon.”
Rushing over, the security guards seized Bruno and tied him up with a belt.
“Bruno! What are you guys doing? Let him go!” Myrtle tried to stop them.
Aiken shook his head. “Mrs. Myrtle, you abandoned everything to marry Bruno at the peak of
your career, but do you know what Bruno says about you behind your back? He tells everyone that you threw yourself at him and that he doesn’t find you to be... sexually attractive.”
Aiken found it hard to say those words, but it was the truth. What he said shocked Myrtle.
“You can ask anyone who worked with him, and they will tell you the same. He also flirted with the newcomers and always partied with different girls. He has no regard for you, Mrs. Myrtle. If you don’t believe me, just ask around.”
+15 BONUS Carrying her crying baby, she was stupefied.
She looked toward Bruno. “Is he telling the truth? That’s what you tell everyone about me You have... never loved me? So you lied about Maia setting you up with those women, did you?
“You can only blame yourself for believing everything | said!” Brino snapped. “You're just too fucking dumb!”
