Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth -
Chapter 64: Who Is Cecilia’s Boss?
Gwenda held up five fingers quickly and said, "50 percent!"
August glanced at her, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. "Deal!"
"Right, it's decided then. You can't go back on your word!"
August cocked an eyebrow, "A cheap deal like that, how could I possibly go back on my word?"
Hearing this, Gwenda instantly realised that she had been tricked.
But she could not do anything about it.
If she wanted to build up Cecilia's popularity and elevate her status through this, she would have to take that cut in profit, seeing as her cousin was being an unscrupulous businessman towards her at the moment.
Gwenda sighed.
Back at the hotel restaurant, Olivier had returned to his private room.
His aura had become much more temperate, which caused everyone to look at him in surprise.
Olivier explained politely, "I met an acquaintance and said hello."
Then, he returned to his seat with ease. The frigid aura around him dissipating completely.
The others traded looks with each other while Otto discreetly studied his boss' face.
Was he well acquainted with that person?
Why did his glacial outlook vanish after he returned?
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Olivier asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing! Nothing at all."
The CEOs had experienced all sorts of strange situations, so it was easy for them to brush it off and chat warmly with each other. Soon, the meal was over.
Olivier left the hotel and got into his car.
Otto, who could no longer hold back his curiosity, asked, "Boss, who did you meet at the restaurant earlier?"
Olivier replied with a question instead, "Do you know August Reed?"
"August Reed? CEO of Reed Corporation? Yeah, I know him. He's big in the cosmetics industry,"
Otto said, "And he's Miss Evan's cousin too."
Olivier raised his eyebrows. "You know about this?"
"Everyone knows this, boss."
Olivier did not reply.
"Boss, did you meet him today?"
Otto asked curiously.
Olivier nodded. "Yeah."
Not only did they meet each other, but they also ended up having a big misunderstanding.
"Then did he not speak to you? I heard that his company has been trying to expand their business recently, and they want to collaborate with us."
Otto gave him an important piece of information.
Olivier's eyes gleamed with interest as he smiled. "He wants to collaborate with us?"
"Yeah, they've contacted the business department. But I'm not sure about the details."
Otto's job scope was not a part of that, so he only had a general idea of it.
Olivier cocked an eyebrow with interest and instructed. "Go back to the company and give me the project details from Reed Corporation. I'd like to have a look at it." "Yes, sir!"
Because of August's assent, Cecilia succeeded in getting the endorsement for Reed Corporation's newest product.
When the news was announced through the company's official Twitter, KG Entertainment's CEO office was dead silent.
The executives who were sent to talk to August were summoned to the office. They watched Benson with great trepidation and did not say a word.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Benson asked through gritted teeth as he did his best to rein in his temper.
The executives looked at each other, clearly stuck in a dilemma.
"Answer me!"
Benson roared.
Seeing this, Jason bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Evans, it's not our problem. August Reed had no intentions to give us the endorsement. Furthermore, his every word showed that he despises our company, saying that Lina Wood would never make it and that she was not worthy of their company's products..."
"That b*stard!!"
Benson could not bear it any longer and slammed his palm on the table as he stood.
The executives trembled with fear.
Benson was livid. He put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath as he sneered. "He despises my company, but gives Cecilia Kelly the endorsement? Does he not know that Cecilia is an artist that we abandoned?"
"But she's popular now..."
Someone muttered lowly.
Benson glared at him and snarled. "I dare you to repeat that!"
"Mr. Evans, calm down."
Jason spoke again. "Forget the endorsement. Right now, the most important thing is to get the company's artists up and running."
Benson's expression did not change much at the mention of this.
In recent years, every artist that he had brought up ended up leaving.
At the end of the day, none of the remaining artists in KG Entertainment were good enough to make it out!
It made him so angry.
"As for Wood, I think that she is a good candidate with potential. She not only sings well but is also good at acting. She's definitely promising. I believe that we should put our resources on her and give it a shot."
Jason strongly recommended.
Hearing this, Benson's eyes narrowed, his rage diminishing some. He regained rationality and said, "Since you think it's possible, then go ahead and try. However, it's best if she can actually bring in positive results with the resources that you'll be giving her, otherwise... she can get lost!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Evans. We will do our best."
"By the way, does anyone know who is the owner of the studio that Cecilia jumped ship to?"
