Beyond the Divorce
Free Advertising The head of ATL Empire looked at me with some hesitation and said, âWell⦠I need to get approval for this.â
âThatâs fine, I can wait!â I declared, taking a seat in the conference room.
I could see Ivanna suppressing a smile. However, Eloise was no longer composed.
âMs. Chloe, what do you mean by making us wait?â
âWhat else?â I challenged her with a provocative tone.
In a low, questioning growl, Eloise demanded, âWhat do you mean?â
The project head seemed a bit anxious. âMs. Chloe, can weâ¦.finalize the plan first? Then seek approval from higherâups?â
âNo need!â A cold, clear voice suddenly declared Atlas strode into the conference room, Harmony never leaving his side. He glanced at everyone present, his eyes sliding over my stillâraised arm.
âLetâs go with Ms. Chloeâs suggestion and add the sponsorship!â
My heart skipped a beat. I hadnât expected Atlas to agree to my request.
Eloise immediately put on a fawning smile and said, âMr. Atlas, um⦠Isnât this against the requirements? After all, we are ATL Empireâs spokesperson. If we add another sponsor, it might be hard for us to explain! If Tanum Corporationâs name is on itâ¦â
âWhat? Are you trying to take over the ATL Empire?â Atlasâs stern gaze locked onto Eloise.
âNâNo, not at all!â Eloise immediately waved, her face filled with panic. âIn the past, it was always⦠If we add Tanum Corporationâs name, it means they also use Ms. Harmonyâs image. There will be a fee!â
Tanum Corporation is ATL Empireâs partner, exclusively for ATL Empire. Are you suggesting that, to have Ms. Harmony, ATL Empire needs to pay double?â Atlas asked arrogantly, then turned to Ivanna.
âMs. Ivanna, is this correct?
Ivanna smiled and said, âOf course not. Austier Agency only partners with the ATL Empire!â
Eloise paled. After all, Ivannaâs response made her seem out of touch.
It was clear Harmony was Atlasâs woman, yet she dared to ask for double the price. Where did she get her Harmonyâs face turned cold, and she glared at Eloise.
Eloise was now in a difficult spot. Originally, she didnât intend to trouble Atlasâshe was targeting me.

âPlease get Ms. Eloise to draft the agreement for us to sign.â I glanced at everyone present, stating matter -ofâfactly, âCan we head to the site now?â
Harmony, puzzled, asked, âWhat for?â
Eloise immediately caught on to my meaning and displayed clear displeasure.
Harmony looked at me, not too pleased. âMs. Chloe, what do you mean? Itâs just a matter of revising the plan. Is it really necessary to go to the site?â
âOf course itâs necessary. Tanum Corporation never does things halfâheartedly. Would you understand if itâs all just on paper? Can you clarify what needs to be changed?â I replied to Harmony, unwavering.
Clearly, she couldnât answer any of my questions. Eloise was infuriated, but she saw Atlasâs icy expression and dared not act recklessly.
Harmony lightly asked him, âAtlas, do we really need to go to the site?â
Everyone turned to Atlas, and I was sure that Atlas wouldnât favor her. After all, this was a workârelated matter.
âFollow Ms. Chloeâs arrangements. After all, they are the professionals!â Sure enough, Atlasâs tone left no room for doubt.
Since thatâs the case, why bother with the changes? Wasnât it just Harmonyâs idea, trying to make things difficult for Tanum Corporation?
However, wth her changes, I obtained a free round of publicity. Why not take advantage of it?
ATL Empireâs promotional video, endorsed by the hottest celebrities, was sure to get attention. I had truly hit the jackpot.
Then letâs all head to the showroom!â I declared, standing up without any hesitation.
The ease with which Atlas had granted my request baffled me. I recalled his words to me back then.
Always fight for your own interests!â
I chuckled and shook my head. Was it really just about our interests?
As we went downstairs and got in the car, Carol started the car and said to me, âChlo, youâre quite
