<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia nodded. “From now on, we’re all founding members and shareholders of thepany.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After exchanging pleasantries, Norman began to prepare for work.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was also aware of the defamatory news about Cecilia circting online and had started addressing it early on.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Moving forward, ourpany will need its own dedicated team ofwyers. We can’t let others lead us by the nose,” he said.-</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia nodded. “In this regard, we really need to rely on your expertise.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t worry. I’ll have everything prepared.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia kept nodding in response.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Over the years, Norman had always been there for her, and she trusted himpletely.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">To effectively manage arge corporation, one had to learn to delegate authority.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte was in charge of management at that time, with Madeline assisting her, while Lucille was responsible for hiring staff.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia had ns to establish an online new mediapany, a decision, that was influenced by public opinion at that time.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">From then on, things gradually progressed in a different direction.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte soon shared the news about the newpany with Eric, who had been persistently inquiring about what Cecilia had been up totely. In response, Eric brought Cecilia a basket of flowers to congratte her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ms. Cecille, you set up apany back home and didn’t even think to tell me?” Eric said with a pitiful tone. “You’re not treating me like a friend at all.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia responded helplessly, “Mypany has just been established. I didn’t want to draw too much attention. I initially nned to tell you all once thepany was running smoothly.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As she spoke, her attention was subtly directed toward what was happening behind Eric.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“No one followed you here, right?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If the paparazzi had caught a glimpse of Eric arriving at Cecilia’spany, it could have sparked a maior controversy.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric scratched his head and replied, “I don’t think so.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">You don’t think so? Cecilia was impressed by his nonchnt demeanor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, it wasn’t surprising. After all, in the past, Eric had no scandals and was widely praised.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was the one who hadnded him in trouble, and she med herself for it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Charlotte saw that Eric was there, she cheerfully ran toward him, eximing, “Eric, you’re here!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes. I’m here.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric and she high–fived.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Sven, who came with Cecilia to oversee the security near thepany, couldn’t help but nce over this way a couple of times, swiftly withdrawing his gaze afterward.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, Charlotte said to Cecilia, “Boss, I pondered over this for a long timest night. I’vee up with a brilliant n that could catapult ourpany to fame while also helping Eric shake off some negative press.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What is it?”</font></font>
“We simply need to get Eric to sign a contract with us. Once he is contracted to ourpany, we can publicly state that your initial meeting with him was for business discussions pertaining to thepany.”
With that, Charlotte turned to look at Eric. “I’ve done my research. Eric, did you return this time to terminate your contract with Imminence Corporation?”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Before, Eric had simply considered Charlotte as an ordinary administrative worker. He hadn’t expected her to be so adept at gathering information.
“How did you know?” he asked.
“This kind of thing can be guessed from small clues.” Charlotte didn’t borate further. Instead, she said, “You coborate with my boss all the time, anyway. Why not simply sign a contract with ourpany this time? I’m sure my boss won’t let you down.”
Upon hearing those words, Cecilia tried to stop her. “Lottie.”
She knew Eric well, and she knew he didn’t like being constrained. Hence, she thought he certainly wouldn’t want to sign a contract with herpany.
What she hadn’t expected, however, was that without any hesitation, Eric said, “I think Lottie’s idea is excellent. I’ll be the first artist you sign.”
What Cecilia was considering at the moment was starting an intepany. The contracts were likely going to be with some minor influencers. She hadn’t even thought about signing any major stars.
