Chapter 167 Due to the commotion and aftermath of Hubert and Claireâs showdown, Anthonyâs VIP room was flooded with clamor the moment Charmine opened the door to enter.
Chrisâwho feasted on fried chicken wingsâwas blatantly startled at the noise. âMommy, whatâs happening outside? Why so noisy?â
âNothing, just two dogs fighting.â She closed the door and shut out the hubbub.
Charmine then sat down beside Chris and gently wiped his mouth with a napkin. âYou should eat more,â she spoke, â your body needs more energy.â
âOkay! Mommy should have some too. This cake is yummy!â
Chris forked a piece from the cake and tried to feed her. Charmine obediently opened her mouth, and his chubby hand carefully fed it to her.
The boyâs act warmed her heart. She never knew happiness could be so simple.
Anthony dined gracefully as he watched the two interact with one another, and a smile slowly made its way to his face.
It was a lovely dinner.
Anthony finished his meal about twenty minutes later. On the other hand, Chris was still chomping on fried chickens while Charmine would interact with Chris occasionally. Anthony took out his phone to check for any important work matters.
It was then when he saw Lukeâs text message.
(Boss! Bad news! HollyOak and Fortune are working together t o boycott Charmine! Nobody can sign her or even work with her, or theyâll get boycotted too!]
HollyOak and Fortune Entertainment owned the best artists in the industry. Any other entertainment companies that wanted to go against them meant they would only work with small time artists from there onward. They could not afford such a loss.
In less than an hour, word of Charmineâs ban spread like wildfire, and everyone chose to take the winning side. Even paparazzi deleted every online post related to Charmine.
After last nightâs incident, Charmine should have been the biggest, hottest artist in town. Her news was all over the internet; she was even trending first on all social media! It was only after Hollyoak and Fortune Entertainment announced her ban did she disappear from the internet.
As though that was not enough, her name was taken down from hot searches and trending issues. It was like she got wiped out of existence.
Anthonyâs eyes narrowed. âHmph. Trying to take down my woman, are they?â
Anthony kept this news from Charmine and sent a text to Luke.
(Get her photos on every single LED screen in the country!)
Luke frowned when he received that text.
(But most of the LED slots are sold out...]
[Delay all of them. Pay all liquidated damages!) Anthony replied.
[Yes boss.) Luke immediately made the arrangements as told.
Mr. Bailey was going to give everything he had for the woman he loved. As his assistant, Luke decided he would fight for them as well.
Still, Anthony was on edge even after all that. Bailey Corporation had financial investments in almost every industry except for the entertainment field. To them, any business venture that yielded the most profits would instantly receive their investment.
While Bailey Corporation would not have to worry about a single thing, Charmine had no support from any agency due to not signing with any. That meant she was left with RisingHawk Entertainment on her own.
Her companyâRisingHawk Entertainmentâhad just signed three artists, and other departments in the company were still in its infancy stages.
He drew his gaze to Charmine and asked, âHowâs RisingHawk recently? Do you need any help?â.
âEverything is going pretty well. We did sign three artists in such a short time. Other departments are still under development at the moment,â Charmine replied nonchalantly. âDonât sweat yourself over it.â
