“Ms. Maia, this would result in losses for the company. Bruno is our company’s most famous star, and we've invested a lot ofmoney on him in the first quarter of this year. reconsider? Maybe the PR team could come up with a different solution.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as Bruno refuses to apologize, the public will not accept him. If we don’t cut ties with him now, this willonly affect our company’s reputation.”

There was no better solution for Starlight Entertainment, which was exactly why the PR team. was having trouble with damagecontrol.

“This also means that we will lose all our previous investments. Our company’s financial liquidity is not ideal right now. If weterminate our contract with him, the money we’ve spent on him will be wasted. We would lose both the company’s profits and afamous movie star.”

Maia knew the risks, yet she insisted.

“If we don’t do this now, the company’s reputation will be tarnished. | know it’s not easy to train a movie star from scratch, but it’snot impossible.

“If we’re known as a company that only cares about profits and not our artists‘ misconduct, we will lose public trust. Let this be awarning. Everyone should be accountable for their own actions. I'll think of another solution to resolve our liquidity problem.”

That was the best solution for Starlight Entertainment.“Okay, | understand. I’ll talk to the PR team right away. Ms. Maia, please rest well. Everything will be fine.”

When ane got to the foot of the stairs, she saw Cedric struggling to dress the wound on his back. As he was about to succeed inapplying the ointment to his wound, Mala took the cotton swab from his hands and did it for him.

“Didn't | ask you to stay put? The oat porridge will be ready soon.

“You should've asked one of the housekeepers to help you with this. You're just as silly as |

“| don’t like other people touching me ”

This was just an excuse. Cedric wanted Maia to feel sorry for him. He had to use everything up his sleeves.

Maia just kept her mouth shut. She swiftly dressed his wound and finished by tying a beautiful bow in place of the usual knot.“You're getting better at this. | won’t have to do it myself the next time I’m injured,” Cedric said with a smile as he got dressed.“Are you planning to get hurt again?” Maia asked while placing the bandages and gauze into the first aid kit.

“| won't mind as much if you’re by my side.”

Maia’s actions slowed for a second when she heard what he said.

“I'll be going now. You should have some rest too.” Maia bid him farewell and turned towards the entrance. She did not care ifshe was still in her pajamas. She just wanted to leave.

Why was she even here? His wound was already getting better.It was meaningless.

Cedric reached out his arm and held onto her wrist. “I've made you something to eat. Why don’t you have some before youleave?”

“I'm not hungry.”“Just one bite,” he pleaded as he led her to the kitchen.

She relented as she pulled her wrist from his grip. Cedric felt a sense of emptiness, and his hand was left dangling mid-air.
