The guard turned green and pale, seemingly petrified. A few minutes ago, he didnât expect this average
looking man, who looked like a hardcore fan, to be Zendayaâs lover. Zendaya had the utmost power in
the company. He would be easily fired as long as she said so. âSir, I was wrong to have judged you.
Iâm sorry, please forgive meâ¦â Alex interrupted him. âIâm not trying to force you to do anything.
However, if youâre a man, you have to keep
your word. So I hope you learned your lesson. The eyes are easily deceived. The person you insult
may be
someone who can make your life a living hell. You donât have to eat the whole trash can. Just hug it till
you
get off work.â
Eating trash and hugging the trash can were very different punishments. The guard let out a deep sigh
of relief. He looked extremely grateful towards Alex as he picked up the trash
can. âThank you sir, thank you.â Zendaya was smart as she was able to guess what had happened
despite not knowing any of the details. She glared at the bodyguard.
âRemember to just do your job right. Donât turn into someone elseâs tool to hurt
others. They might not even remember you after using you.â Zendaya then proceeded to drag Alex
inside. Alex licked his lips. âUhm⦠so todayâs your birthday?â
Zendaya nodded. âWhy didnât you tell me sooner? I couldâve prepared a present for you.â
âIf I told you that, it would feel like Iâm forcing you to give me a present. I donât want that.â
âHappy birthday then!â
âThanks!â Realizing that he had only given her a simple wish, Zendaya felt slightly disappointed. If it
were to be anyone
like Ellington, theyâd probably ask her to wait and get her a present. âHe couldâve given me something
simple like a necklace or a braceletâ¦â
âJust a small bouquet of flowers would do too!â
âBut heâs just so dense!â
âWell, he is a married man after all.â There were the others inside the filming studio, Zendayaâs
manager, Bunty, her bodyguard, Autumn, her
assistant, Missy, the cameraman and director. Some of them were already acquainted with Alex. Upon
his arrival, they were reminded of what had happened on the cruise. Hence, Bunty and the others
stood
up and welcomed Alex with a big smile.
âMr. Rockefeller!â
âWelcome, Mr. Rockefeller!â The director and cameraman were shocked. They thought, âWho is this
powerful figure that Zendaya brought
to the studio?â
âHeâs even able to earn the respect of a feisty manager like Bunty.â Although they had not spent much
time together, they knew just how Bunty was.
She was harsh and would nitpick on every single thing. She couldnât care less about anyone else apart
from
Zendaya. Hence, for her to be so respectful and nice towards this man must mean that he was an
extremely powerful
figureâ¦
However, all they saw was an average-looking man, he didnât look intimidating or powerful at all. Alex
nodded gently, not saying a word and sat down to review the films.
The director praised Zendaya. âMiss Stoermer had put in a lot of effort to film these Lush Cosmetics
commercials. Not only did she come up with the whole script, she even filmed three different versions
of it!
Iâve never seen her film for any other company with such passion. You should thank her greatly.â Alex
turned his head to look at Zendaya.
âWhy did you have to put so much work into it? You just need to
film one. I trust your abilities, one would have been absolutely perfectâ Zendaya blushed slightly. âI just
wanted to.â
The director was in his early fifties, hence he had experience in reading people. Looking at Zendayaâs
reaction, his heart skipped. âSomething is up!â
âLooks like the goddess is in love with a mortal. This man is quite lucky.â Alex reviewed all three and
was satisfied with all of them, they were just perfect. Her beautiful looks were
enough to strike the publicâs hearts. Hence, any of these commercials would immediately gain them
popularity
as soon as they were broadcasted. âAs expected, all of them are perfect! It feels like a whole fantasy
movie!
I believe that Lush Cosmetics would
be a hot cosmetics line soon, all because of you!â Alex said. Zendaya smiled. âItâs pretty hot already.
I heard that both Belle Blossom and City Salon had thousands of
preorders for your products. These two beauty salons had probably received a total of 100 million
dollars
worth of membership fee lately!â
âYou knew about it too?â
