Chapter 269
Spoiled by the President
Time flew by quickly.
In the twinkling of an eye, a month had passed.
âCannon Fodder Guideâ was well-received. It might be a web-series, but it caused a hubbub on the internet. Soon, the show was starting to get noticed by a wider range of audiences.
As the lead actors, Nell and George were busy traveling around and promoting the show.
Gideon saw how busy she was and was worried that she would get fatigued. Thus, he allowed an assistant manager of Nellâs to temporarily handle PR matters at Anning International.
Nell was fine with this arrangement. She was not a superwoman and had only a brain and a pair of arms. She was incapable of managing so many things simultaneously.
Last time, she did not like performing and doing front-facing work, as she felt that she would be stared at by people like some kind of rare animal.
After some time, she slowly got used to this kind of job. In fact, she somewhat enjoyed it.
Almost all of the work at Anning International and at Xinghui were handled by Hannah now.
Gideon did not stop her from entering show business with full force.
Occasionally, late at night, he would command her with envy while lying in bed.
She was not allowed to film kissing scenes, sex scenes, love scenes or even romance scenes with male actors!
Nell was amused by his demands.
Still, she was unable to convince him. If she wanted to bring up the topic of âprofessional dedicationâ to him, he would show his âdedicationâ to her that night.
Later, an unwritten rule began to circulate within the industry.
Some newbie actressâ husband forbade her from filming romance scenes, kissing scenes and love scenes. If she took them on, the entire show must be banned.
Everyone knew who this person was. Earlier, Gideon had publicly announced his relationship with Nell.
Apart from making jokes about this rule, nobody took it seriously.
Nell was bothered by this manâs possessiveness. Then again, it was not like she was hard up for these kinds of scenes. After all, it depended upon the plotline. Such scenes were included only when necessary. If they were unnecessary, it was fine, too.
In addition, in order to support the governmentâs âClean Internet Movementâ, most romance shows were filmed in a clean and pure manner. Aside from some artistic films, most kissing scenes could be simulated.
The days passed serenely and fruitfully.
In the middle of the year, Gideon brought Nell along to the capital. He also introduced her officially to his family.
Anning Internationalâs headquarters was located in the capital. Xinghui, which was affiliated to Anning, shifted to the capital city as well after some discussion.
Nell was not attached to Jincheng, so she could adapt to life in any city.
Furthermore, the President of the Leiths was based in the capital. Ultimately, Gideon was the boss of the Leiths and it was much more convenient for him to work here. Thus, Nell moved here with him.
Lizzy was the one who was most excited about this arrangement.
Gideon had a home in the capital known as Fengqiao Villa. He bought it specially for Nell.
Every day, Lizzy whined about moving here from Leith Garden, but Gideon would always hush her.
Lizzy did not understand it. She felt sad every time the chauffeur took her home.
Until one day, Gideon said something to her.
âDo you want a little brother? If you want one, go home and after some time, Daddy and Mommy will give you a little brother.â
Lizzy was overjoyed when she heard this.
âReally? Iâll have a little brother?â
âMm, yes.â
Thus, from that day onwards, Lizzy never bothered them for the whole week.
Boss Leith, who finally had some alone time with his wife, was very pleased with the current situation.
The next thing was to take care of Nell and bring up the baby-making plan again.
Unfortunately, Nell was simply overwhelmed with work.
Lizzy was not around, but Nell was so busy that she remained at the film set every day instead of coming home.
Boss Leith was furious. Yet, when he saw how dedicated and hardworking Nell was towards her dream job, he could not bring himself to feel angry.
One afternoon, Nell received an invitation to an event. The event would be held at night at the capital cityâs largest sports plaza.
It was a charity night for celebrities where the stars donated money and attempted to get attention for themselves at the same time. Plus, they could receive positive comments about themselves. Thus, a large group of celebrities congregated at the plaza, and the most famous individual among them was Chace Remington.
Chace was 30 years old and had been in showbiz for ten years. He had appeared in numerous films and was both good-looking and talented.
Earlier, he was also a popular actor. Later, he was involved in an accident and his face was slightly disfigured, which caused him to disappear from the public eye for a while.
Once he underwent reconstructive surgery, his appearance had been restored and his acting improved, giving him a mature and steadfast charm.
A few years ago, he received the Golden Horseâs Best Actor Award for his performance in âThe Secret History of Tianqiâ. He had a large fanbase and was the hottest actor at the moment.
Nell adored him, too. She had seen his films and his acting was simply fantastic.
When she learned that he would be attending the nightâs event, she was rather excited.
It was a star-studded night as various celebrities showed up one by one at the venue. Fans crowded about the exterior. Each celebrity had his or her own group of fans, but most of the onlookers were Chaceâs fans.
Nell arrived at the plaza. Her initial plan is to quietly walk the red carpet and get an autograph if she managed to meet her idol up close.
Little did she expect to be bombarded by cheers and screams when she got out.
She turned around and saw a bunch of fans waving LED boards with her name on them. Although it was a small group overshadowed by other onlookers, she was still pleased to see them.
Spoiled by the President ï¤Chapter 268 A Blessing Or A Curse Wrong Ride, Right Lover She waved at them in acknowledgment which resulted in a frenzy among the fangirls.
Ah! What a bunch of cute, little angels. She never expected that she would have a loyal fanbase too.
Nell was unaware that âCannon Fodder Guideâ had dominated most channels and websites in the country within a few months since its initial release.
At the moment, her videos were plastered all over the internet, Weibo, QQ, and WeChat Moments.
There were more than 100 million retweets!
Nell seldom went online, so she did not know that her show had amassed such popularity. It was comforting to her that she had a significant number of supporters.
After walking the red carpet, it was time for the cocktail party.
Aside from celebrities, many socialites and members of the elites attended this party. Nell was hardly interested in such parties, so she sat alone in a corner to have some dessert.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.
âElder Sister Nelly.â
Nell turned her head and saw Lucy Katz.
âYouâre here too?â She got up quickly.
Her gown was a bit untidy due to the way she sat, so she smoothened it and smiled sheepishly. âI was hungry, please excuse me.â
Lucy grinned. âHavenât you had dinner?â
âEh...â She had rushed all the way here and did not have anything to eat yet!
