The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1694

Chapter 1694



"Good morning, everyone."

I did not change my expression. I returned to my office. In fact, the curiosity in me was about to overflow. I put down my bag and hurried to my desk to pick up today's copy of the entertainment news.

As I opened it and took a look, there were a few bold sentences printed on the surface.

'Former washed-up top actress and the king spotted meeting in private. Her return is just around the corner.'

The photo below was of Cindy and the male artist I had previously asked her to meet.

I looked at the news in my hand with satisfaction. Although the headline was too childish, I was satisfied with the enlarged

photo of the paparazzi, which took up a large part of the front page.

In the age of photos, this photo could say much more than words.

I was worried that Cindy would not feel the same joy I was feeling, so I wanted to go talk to her.

When I got to her office and just as I was about to knock on the door, I could faintly hear the sound of a fight coming from the office.

I went around to the door and saw that the door was closed. The curtains were closed inside too.

I could not help but stick my ears to the door to eavesdrop.

"Look at what the news has written about you! A washed-up female entertainer! She's clearly using you to squeeze the last remaining value out of you. She's going too far!"

This was Zedd's voice.

The man finished his venting but did not receive Cindy's response, so he became even angrier.

"Why aren't you saying a word? Is it hard to say that you did all this willingly?"

"I've explained to you. I'm not trying to generate hype, and I'm not dating this person. I was just looking for a spokesperson for the project." In comparison, Cindy was a lot calmer.

"So what? So you think you can explain it to everyone with these few words? You're sitting here telling me this, but the readers who see these

papers, are they going to believe it?" Zedd was clearly angry.

"I don't need them to believe me." Yes, there were times when all it took was for those who mattered to believe in one.

"So you're saying you don't even

want to explain?" Zedd did not want

to admit that he had come here to yell because he cared about this matter and about Cindy, but he was not willing to just give up either.

l

"How long are you going to let her insult you? Have you ever thought that maybe the project is just an excuse? What she wants is to squeeze the last of your publicity value, or maybe the project is real, but she's still squeezing you dry."

I heard the sound of the newspaper being crumpled, probably because Zedd was so angry that his hand kept clenching the newspaper.

"I've explained to you that things aren't what you think they are."

"Then what are they like? What made you go on a date with a dude in the middle of the night? Why don't you explain it to me?"

"Zedd, that's enough. You're not qualified to question me here!"

I knocked on the office door at the right time.

Cindy came over on her heels, opened the door angrily, and saw me at the door.

She first froze. Then, her surprised face turned instantly changed into a businesslike expression. She said to Zedd inside the office. "I have to work. Please leave."

Zedd gave me a furious look, then looked at Cindy. Without much struggle or justification, he just angrily pulled his collar and left.
