Chapter 85 Claire lounged on her couch once she got home. She wanted to get some rest but Simon kept bugging her with his incessant questioning.
âBoss, when are you coming back? I really canât handle the Diamond Company by myself.â
âYeah, your management keeps calling me t o keep an eye on you whilst weâre still not allowed to make our debut. Do you know that it almost ripped my heart out when I got to know about your incident earlier today on the Ferris wheel?â said Kay, the cool man with grey-bleached hair.
Simon gave him an eye-roll and continued, â Even if the boss wants to head back, she should have come with me first since I helped her to solve her scandal. Get in line!â
âOh, câ mon! Know your place. The scandal started because of you. Youâve barely redeemed yourself!â snorted Kay.
While they were about to get into a fight, Charmine uttered, âSheâll stay here for at least three months. You guys may as well just give up.â
Three months.
This made Simon throw his arms up in despair. It was very exhausting to handle Charmineâs previous affairs while maintaining her target performance at the same time.
Kay was in agony. For three months, he had t o be an undercover bodyguard. A bodyguard who could only watch his boss secretly without being able to even fight back for her during danger.
He would rather get into a fight if he were given a chance.
âBoss Jordan, donât you just want to settle Tiffany? Just say the word and Iâll settle her without leaving any evidence behind.â
âItâs not as easy as you think it is,â Charmine said as she slowly opened her eyes.
âDonât poke your nose into this. Just mind your own business.â
Joey and others still liked Tiffany even though she had her nude scandal. Problems were always easy to be resolved but not perception.
Suddenly, Charmineâs cellphone rang.
Kay and Simon looked at each other, curious who it was. There were not many people who knew Charmine number. Who could the caller be?
âCharmine, this is the PR general manager o f HollyOak Entertainment, Claire Eastly. I think youâre quite promising. Perhaps you can come over to my office some time so we can talk about signing you to my company,â commanded Claire, full of pride over the phone.
Everybody knew who Claire Eastly was. People were always hoping that Claire would make a star out of them.
She had never signed any celebrity by herself before. This was her exception, and she believed Charmine would appreciate it.
âHollyOak Entertainment? Claire Eastly? Who?â Charmine squinted her eyes, trying hard to recall the name while asking the rest of them who were present.
Every word stung, fueling the fire that burned inside Claire. Her face was red with suppressed rage.
`How could she not even know about Claire Eastly and HollyOak Entertainment?â
âWeâre the top company in the entertainment industry. We have most of the popular celebrities, and ninety percent of the best actress award are given to us,â explained Claire.
âYouâre lucky that you caught my eye. I can make a star out of you,â said Claire with her chin held up high. She was as proud as the devil.
âSo Iâll be the ten percent then,â said Charmine in a rather flat tone.
Claire was annoyed. âCharmine, stop getting over yourself! Money canât buy everything. Itâs not as easy as you think if you want to be in this industry. Youâll need to have a professional team to climb to the top.â
