Chapter 3234 Of Favors And Threats

"You've done well for yourself, Mr. Quick."

Megan's eyes traveled lazily across Rocky's figure. The arrogance in his eyes was plain to see.

He no longer looked like the struggling lad she had known before. The only thing that remained was his prideful demeanor.

"That's nothing compared to your achievements, Ms. Rockford. You're one of the most popular stars these days. Why, you're even giving Mia a run for her money! Your abilities are truly extraordinary."

Rocky had kept his eyes glued to his phone throughout their entire exchange. He had not glanced at Megan even once since walking through the door.

Megan smirked at his behavior. His arrogance is understandable. After all, he went from a nobody to an absolute big shot. I can put up with it as long as he's not going to be an *ss about it, though he's really testing my patience now.

Megan pushed aside the items cluttering her coffee table. She narrowed her eyes at him. The harsh lighting in the living room only served to accentuate the serious expression on her face.

She said, "I'm not going to beat around the bush. I need you to dig out a scandal on Melissa Cohen."

"Melissa Cohen?"

Rocky paused in the middle of his phone game. He lifted his head and frowned at Megan.

"If you're begging me to break a scandal, why must you pick some C-list celebrity? It's going to hurt my reputation."

Megan's expression hardened at Rocky's complaint.

Glaring at him, she was unimpressed by his pompous behavior.

I'm begging him? His head must be in the clouds thanks to those scandal-fearing celebrities! Well, he's going to have to wait a long time if he expects me to beg!

The atmosphere became downright hostile. Rocky lifted his gaze and shuddered at the sight of Megan's threatening stare.

Sh*t, why does she look so fierce?

Megan saw the shock in his features. She pursed her lips into a thin line.

"Have you forgotten our contract?"

Megan placed the contract she and Rocky had signed on the coffee table and pushed it toward him.

She knew it was a smart decision to put the contract in place, or Rocky would have attempted to cut ties with her at this very moment.

"It's stated clearly that you must work with me for two years. I'll give you some exclusive scoops, but in return, you must help me with any requests. Don't forget that my last scoop launched you into stardom. If you help me this time, I'll get you another exclusive scoop."

This was always supposed to be a fair trade. Megan should not have needed to pull out the contract to force his hand.

But she was irked by his arrogance, and she wanted to use this contract to remind him about the part she played in his success.

Plus, we're obviously business partners. There's no need for him to be so condescending.

"Y-you," Rocky stuttered in disbelief. He had forgotten all about the contract as he reveled in his newfound fame. His eyes widened as he appeared to be at a loss for words.

Megan scoffed at his stammers. "Why? Want to sue me? Be my guest. If those celebrities who've paid you off banded together, I'm sure they'd manage to cancel you on Twitter. Meanwhile, you can use your hard-earned money to take me to court. We can see who runs out of money first."

Rocky was vexed at her disdainful attitude. Even A-list celebrities treat me like their boss. How can a new star like her threaten me like this!

Rocky fumed at the thought. Clenching his fists, he glared at Megan.

"I'm not planning to sue you, but your behavior is unacceptable! If we really go to court, I don't think you'd win anyway! You can kiss your showbiz dreams goodbye once I reveal all the dirty things you've ordered me to do!"
