Chapter 851 Can't Let Anyone See Your Obsession with Him Sophia dropped her head, her lashes casting shadows on her cheeks. "I get why you're here, to makechoose, but I can't just ditch my feelings for him. Got any ideas?" Selena set her cup down. "I'm not saying you gotta give up, but you gotta promisethat once you're famous, you can chase Ronald all you want in private. Just don't let anyone see you drooling over him in public. You're an actress, right? Just keep acting off-screen too." Sophia's eyes lit up, and she hugged Selena tight. "I swear, Ms. Fair, no one will ever know!" Selena smiled. "Just keep your word." "I will! You've been the best tosince my parents passed." Sophia's voice cracked, and she couldn't meet Selena's gaze.
Selena stayed quiet, gave her a gentle pat on the head, and then got up to leave.
No one really knew how Sophia survived her darkest days. She said Selena was good to her, but honestly, Selena hadn't done much, which just showed how rough Sophia's life had been.
Back at the company, most folks on the top floor were still grinding away. Everyone was swamped lately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena called Ann to order drinks for the late-night crew.
When the hundred-plus drinks showed up, the top floor erupted in cheers.
Selena sat in her office, listening to the noise outside, a smile playing on her lips.
Just as she was about to dive back into her computer, Ann walked in with a cup of hot tea. "Ms. Fair, your stomach's not great, so skip the sugary stuff. I got this for you." Selena took the tea and glanced at Ann. "Thanks." Ann looked a bit worn out but was in good spirits.
Selena asked, "Ann, who'd you borrow the sixty grand from?" Ann froze, a flicker of unease crossing her face. "A friend." Selena pulled out a check and wrote sixty thousand dollars on the spot. "The interest on sixty grand is steep. Pay your friend back with this, and you can repaylater, no interest." Ann's eyes welled up, and she pushed the check back. "No need, Ms. Fair, thanks. My friend didn't chargeany interest." Selena felt relieved. "Next time, if you're in a bind, letknow first." Ann forced a smile and quickly buried herself in the documents. "Got it, Ms. Fair. You're really kind. Actually, everyone on the top floor can sense your goals, which is why we're all working so hard." Selena had made it clear that as long as there was profit, she'd make sure everyone benefited. With the money from Alex's movie rolling in, she gave the S.M Corporation employees a raise, making everyone loyal and willing to work their butts off.
Here, ability trumped seniority, which was why they were all so driven.
In a world where giving your all often got you nothing, with Selena, if you gave your all, you'd get double back. Plus, having a boss who bought drinks for everyone? That was rare.
At 9 PM, Selena dragged her tired self downstairs, and Ann had already brought the car around.
But the car that pulled up first was Grace's.
Grace had been keeping tabs on the news abroad and knew Raymond had signed a high-stakes deal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Raymond messed up, the Montague Group would get a new CEO.
Grace pointed at Selena, her eyes blazing with resentment. "Selena, if he loses his job, it's alon you? I told you to stop him, but you did nothing. Is there anyone more disgusting than you?"
Selena frowned and got into her car without a word. No matter what she did, the Montague family would never like her.
Seeing her so indifferent, Grace stood there cursing for a while, then called Elbert. "Elbert, I'll give you the shares, but remember your promise to me." With such a risky deal, Raymond had no chance of winning.
Grace had to look out for herself this time. Elbert becoming CEO was a done deal.
Raymond's defeat was inevitable.
