The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1674

Chapter 1674



Cindy turned and walked back into the room when she finished speaking.

Although she saw me when she turned around, she merely glanced at me and did not pause or say hello.

Her reaction was why the celebrity and agent did not realize I was already behind them.

The office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop as everyone listened to the ruckus they caused while watching me stand behind them. Perhaps it was because she was so engrossed in causing a fuss, Jessie's manager did not pick up the cue and instead became enraged by what Cindy said to her.

"Hey, Reed, come out!" the woman in red yelled as she tried to enter the office and tussle with Cindy.

However, her short and tight dress made it difficult for her to climb the mountain of magazines and newspapers.

Since the entrance was obstructed, she had no other choice but to stand at the door and yell.

"Get in here if you can. It's spacious enough for you to sit anywhere you desire," Cindy said from her office.

To me, it sounded like she was already seated and relaxing in her office, and that one sentence was enough to piss off the two people at the door even further.

"Do you think you still deserve to be an agent? The celebrity you're managing is a failure, and all you do daily is scream and yell in the office. Look at you now. Your talent is leaving the industry, and you've failed to get together with President Grant as well..."

The things she said became progressively worse, and the young celebrity standing next to her started panicking.

They had been standing side-by-side at the door angrily just before that, but now, she was starting to worry when she heard what was being said. Jessie instinctively gazed at her colleagues, trying to think of a way to get her agen to stop talking and the employees to not hear anything.

She saw me when she turned around.

Her tiny face immediately paled.

When she slowly turned back around, she tugged incessantly on her agent's arm, who was still going on a tirade.

However, her agent was so pissed off that she ignored her.

"Don't tug at me. I'm not done talking. What right does she have to make a hoot? As for you, your opportunity to shoot an ad was stolen. Are you still trying to..."

Amanda turned to unleash her anger

on Jessie, who was the celebrity who had the opportunity taken from her. Amanda had just started berating her when she finally noticed my presence from the terrified look in her eyes.

She looked embarrassed as she said," President Lane, when did you arrive?"

I smiled and said, "I've been here for quite some time and know how you guys started fighting."

My tone was gentle as I said, "You know what? It was even more exciting than the stuff you see in TV shows."

Jessie, who was standing next to us,

panicked. She was just about to offer an explanation when the look

on Amanda's face changed. She pulled Jessie back as she said,

"President Lane, in my opinion,

don't have the right to meddle in the company's affairs now that you've left us. Of course, we're all glad that you've taken the time out of your busy day to visit us, but I'm afraid that it wouldn't be appropriate for you to partake in issues that involve the company's management."

"Yes, you're right." I nodded in agreement while walking closer. "Just like you've mentioned, I'm not too clear on the rules and regulations since I'm no longer a part of the company. Perhaps should call my husband and ask him?"

I rarely referred to Theo as my husband when speaking to others.

However, they all knew perfectly well that even though I had no official title or position, my relationship with Theo meant I could still call the shots in Nectarine Entertainment.

Words like that could only leave a brainless woman's mouth.

"No, no, it's alright. Ms. Langdon was only joking, President Lane."

Jessie hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

I continued smiling as I said, "Not bad. I like this joke, but jokes shouldn't be made during working hours. What are you guys doing?"

I glanced at Jessie before once again looking at the agent.

She remained silent for a short while before finally saying reluctantly, "We were just checking in on a colleague and seeing if there was anything we could assist with."
