Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

Maya Varens arrived with her face slightly upturned. As a representative of Harvey’s agency, she was given a special seat in addition to the other invited guests. Just like the other important guests, Maya also seemed to familiarize herself. Feeling that she is also an important part of the Miss World event.

The opportunity to gain a lot of cooperation was wide open there. He will launch many attacks that sell Harvey Princessa’s name. Especially if the model gets the second or even the first title. Although the champion position is a bit difficult unless Harvey wants to do crazy behavior.

He grinned meaningfully as one guest after another was warmly welcomed by the organizers, most of whom were Ford staff.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Welcome, Mrs. Maya.” One of them approached Maya. Like a person with an interest in being among the invited guests, Maya simply nodded slowly, allowing the staff to direct her to a seat reserved for guests like her.

His eyes scanned the surroundings. There were officials coming with their wives. Many high-profile celebrities were also appearing one after another. Some were national producers and were well known in the international movie scene. Maya was also in the spotlight; owners of start-up companies and names that always popped up in business magazines as entrepreneurs who have a high role in the country’s economy.

To collaborate with them, apart from needing the right time to talk, they must have considered Harvey’s name as the face that Maya would sell. Then the income that comes in, can further enrich her.

“Your table is over here,” said the staff, breaking Maya’s reverie. Smiling faintly, she nodded and headed towards the place indicated by the staff.

Maya greets everyone at the table where she sits. Most unexpectedly, she shared a table with the owner of The Collage; Hanry Kingston and his son.

“I didn’t expect to be at the same table as you,” Maya said with great friendliness.

As a pleasantry, those at the table greeted her no less cordially. This is very well utilized by Maya to open up a lot of chatter that she will use to lead to one goal; Harvey’s news that must always be on the front porch. Who knows if it will work after all, who doesn’t know Maya?

The master sycophant?

While on the other side, Justin sat casually. Enjoying the atmosphere that was getting noisy with many invited guests who began to fill the place devoted to them to sit and watch, the final night broadcast live on one of the TV channels. Which has gained great attention from the public, eagerly waiting to see who will continue the footsteps of Miss World in the previous year.

Even so, Justin kept a wary eye on everyone who came to say hello. Some are people who have the same business as him. It was also not uncommon for some of the authorities to start glancing at Giselle to get her latest schedule. Who knows, there might be a perfect time to fill Irena’s tightly organized promotion department.

“I think tonight will be quite exhausting,” Irena said with a long sigh. she had just spoken and discussed with Mr. Jasson. The owner of a cosmetics brand that was starting to compete with local products. They deliberately brought a business proposal that could have been done when they were in the office.

“Have you learned his will?”

“They want a long discussion on the contract price.”

Justin grinned. “It’s good. Giselle’s influence is high for a product. Influencers like Giselle count by the hour. If she doesn’t follow our wishes, I won’t work with her. You know, I’ve had so many projects that my head wants to explode. So don’t give me news about new projects but I want a lot and still have to negotiate first. Unless, there are equal benefits for Giselle and SEO. Then we can talk about it openly.”

Irena had expected that, but still, no matter how small the problem and the proposed contract, Justin had to know. Don’t let his boss find out from the other side, as if Irena can’t work with Justin, whose speed is above normal.

Once again, Justin cast his eyes around to find the person he was looking for. Even though he seemed to be staring at others with a casual glance, but you know, Justin was seriously observing everything in this room. The chatter and voices of those who sounded not far from business and how to find a way to continue to advance. Whether it was by sneaky or fair means. And most importantly; flaunting his power in certain areas.

And when his eyes focused on one point, Justin’s smile was very thin. He took a sip of the wine in his hand. He shook the contents gently just to make himself look relaxed and enjoy the evening.

“Irena,” Justin called as he leaned towards his assistant, which immediately got the attention of the woman who was not far from Justin.

“Yes?” Irena frowned slightly because Justin’s eyes were not on her. But why was the boss calling her? To satisfy her curiosity, she followed Justin’s gaze. And just when Irena knew who Justin was paying attention to, he said. “I’ve been looking into that agency. It’s true what Giselle said a while ago. They’re in trouble.”

Justin grinned slightly. “What’s the financial condition of SEO?”

“I’m sure you’ll do something desperate.” Irena let out a long breath. “I’m trying to make the most out of the cancelation contract that they can file. I’ve seen a copy of the contract between your model and her agency.”

“You’re sure there’s only one year left, right?”

Irena nodded without hesitation. “In addition to Giselle herself telling me, I also looked into the truth. We shouldn’t go forward to negotiate without knowing our opponent’s weaknesses, right?”

The man put down his glass. He laughed at Irena’s words. “You’ve learned a lot.”

“I have a boss whose wishes are sometimes beyond reason. Also, his thinking can be relied upon to bring things down. So I have to quickly get used to his unusual way of working.”

“Are you complimenting or insulting me, Irena?” Justin gaped in disbelief. Despite the dim light, Justin could see that his assistant was chuckling at his words. “Your annual bonus is in my hands, Irena. You do anything weird, including laughing at my ideas, and your bonus goes up in smoke.”

“You’re too much, Justin!”

“It was you who started it. As a strict and authoritative boss, I can at any time use my power to make you do whatever I want.”

“Looks like the show is about to start,” Brina said, breaking up their argument. Sometimes, Brina herself wondered why she was stuck with such a casual but responsible work relationship. Could it be because from the start, Justin liked the way work was fun but struggled with full concentration.

“Prepare for the worst, Irena. If necessary, let’s ask Andrew for help. It’s not a great sin to use that man once in a while.”

Irena replied, “Yes sir, your order is a command that I must carry out.”

Brina could only sigh at the behavior of the two of them. Hopefully, there would be no more energy-draining additions when they were all in serious, joke-filled mode. Although Brina was not sure, but at least she had prayed.

Hopefully it will come true.
