Chapter 182 Sounds Interesting
"Sir, something happened in the entertainment company. The A-lister celebrity Coco wants to see you.
She claimed that she was cheated by some unknown rules laid down by the director. She wants an
explanation." Anna said with a frown, she wondered why the entertainment company was getting into
so much trouble lately. Every issue was challenging in its own way.
"What? When did it happen? Have you stopped the news from spreading? Summon the manager of
the company here and ask Aaron to come to my office immediately." Edward loosened his tie and
calmly gave the orders. He could easily make sensible decisions and give orders in a systematic way
even under such challenging circumstances.
"It happened yesterday. I blocked the news as soon as I got to know about it. And the related online
videos have been blocked too. But still, it has caused some sensation. Today's stock market is also
getting affected by this." Anna said and raised her head to notice how he would react.
"Okay. Don't care about the stock market now. Do as I tell you. Organize a press conference about the
nude pictures scandal to decrease the impact on the public. As for her request for seeing me, just
ignore it.
When everything becomes clear after investigation, bring her contract to me, I need to consider well
over its renewal."
Edward sneered while twisting the pen in his hand. 'Did she want to see me? She probably thinks too
highly of herself. The entertainment company would go well with or without her. There are many other
top-tier celebrities out there. She wants to play hardball with us. It seems that she doesn't want to stay
with the FX International Group anymore. She is testing my patience.' Edward thought.
"Okay, sir. There is another piece of information that you should know about. Coco is Jessica's cousin."
Anna paused and said before she was about to leave. She thought it was necessary for Edward to
know about this.
"What? You mean Jessica?" Edward asked with a cunning smile. 'It seems that she has gone all out in
order to reach her goals. It's hard to believe that she would do such a shallow thing. Does she really
think that I will change my decision because of this? After being together for so many years, she still
doesn't know me one bit. She forgot that I'm Edward, no one can intimidate me.' Edward thought.
"Okay.
Emm... I will take your leave then." Anna said and took a long glance at Edward. She was wondering
whether this incident had something to do with Jessica's pregnancy.
"Okay. You may go now!" Edward checked the schedule in his hand and sneered. 'It seems that the
game is becoming more interesting. Jessica, you just wait and watch. I hope you'll be pleased with my
response.' Edward thought.
Considering their past relationship, he was going to let it pass. He didn't expect that she would make
such a big fuss to attract his attention. She was determined.
"Sir, you want to see me?" Aaron walked in hurriedly without knocking the door. He was too busy these
days. Rain threw the C Financial Group case on his shoulder since Annie wasn't involved there. He
didn't even have time to drink water.
"Yes. You will hold the entertainment company press conference on my behalf. Make sure all media
channels focus their attention on this case. Don't give any accurate answers to their questions, no Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
matter how fierce they get. Try to give ambiguous remarks. Don't give them any reliable information.
Just keep playing the 'guessing game' with them. Your goal is to make them more curious about this.
Don't take anything else into consideration. Just do it." said Edward.
He gently tapped the desk with his fingers and gave a mischievous smile. But the sly expression in his
eyes was frightening.
"But sir, didn't you say that you wanted me to cover up this as soon as possible?" Aaron asked and
looked doubtfully at him, wondering why he had changed his mind.
"What? Don't you know what happened in the entertainment company? You're my chief assistant. You
should keep abreast of everything. You're slacking off. " Edward held back his playful smile and
squinted at Aaron. He was teasing him.
"Boss, as you know I am working on multiple projects. You need to give me time to figure out
everything." said Aaron. He couldn't perform well under Edward's pressure. He felt too stressed to take
every trivial matter into account.
"What? Aren't you done with the C Financial Group's proposal? We only need to verify the terms and
sign the contract. Why is it still pending?" Edward asked with a frown. He remembered the proposal
had been finished by Rain and he had confirmed it. He wondered why the signing of the contract was
delayed.
"Yes, it is the case. But as Annie did not contact them, they don't have the authority to confirm the
terms of the contract. Annie is the decision maker. The contract is delayed because of her absence."
Aaron said with grievance. The matter was supposed to be finished long back. But it was delayed
because of the decision maker's disappearance. He was caught in a dilemma now.
"Oh. You need to call Mr. Rain about this matter. Annie is at his place now. You have to close this as
quickly as possible. There are more important things waiting for your attention." Edward raised his
eyebrows and looked at him with a cunning expression. 'Tit for tat is fair play. I will not attack unless I
am attacked. If I am attacked, I will certainly counterstrike with double efforts. That's my principle.'
Edward thought.
"Important things? Sounds interesting. What's so important?" Aaron was curious about his next
assignment. He felt excited to know about it. He was looking for a fun and challenging assignment.
"Just do as I told you. I will tell you everything when the time is right." Edward said and waved his
hands at him, indicating that he would not reveal his plan yet.
Aaron stared at him thinking. 'Edward is so annoying. He aroused my curiosity intentionally. But he
doesn't want to reveal anything to me. It is painfully beguiling. He is so shameless!'
Edward ignored Aaron's sad look and began to work on the files at his hands. 'The game would be
spoiled if I have disclosed too much right now. Let Aaron stay curious for a few days. It's a good thing
to let him feel involved.' Edward thought.
