Chapter 120: Here’s an Even Bigger Lemon Spirit
"Don’t get too worked up, everyone! Didn’t you notice how badass Melody Monroe was when she confronted those two? And she always calls Zane ’Mr. Langdon.’ I love that she calls him that. It’s so much better than his other costars!"
"They really followed each other!"
"Zane followed Melody Monroe first!"
"Oh my god, I can’t watch this anymore! She’s the first female celebrity Zane has ever proactively followed! I seriously can’t take it. Please, let their relationship end here! I don’t want to be heartbroken!"
"I’ve got a bad feeling about this. I’m not okay!"
"Our Zane can be anything—charming, sweet, cool, or flirty. Standing next to Melody Monroe, they have this weird chemistry!"
"To the person above me: get out and die! What chemistry?! Are you blind?"
"I’m so jealous. It’s like I ate a whole basket of lemons!"
"I love Zane Langdon, but I have to say, if he really falls for Melody Monroe, I’ll still support them quietly. After all, if there’s someone who can take care of him for us, and I see him happy, then I’ll be happy too."
"Today, I’m just a jealous mess!"
...
Tommy watched his boss, who was completely neglecting his duties. The documents he had delivered an hour ago hadn’t even been opened. Instead, he was here browsing entertainment news.
’What did those jealous fans online have on his boss? He was the biggest one of all!’
The original plan was just to have Zane Langdon and Miss Monroe maintain a working relationship, but now rumors were flying about them! And they even followed each other so publicly! Tommy couldn’t imagine how much this was messing with his boss’s head right now.
Moreover, Tommy could tell that the relationship between his boss and Miss Monroe was completely one-sided. Miss Monroe avoided his boss like the plague.
"How are things progressing with that matter?" Evan Fairchild suddenly asked.
"We’ve settled all the conditions with their representative, but they’re still trying to negotiate for a stake in the company."
Evan Fairchild lifted his eyes to Tommy. "The progress on Sean Coleman’s end."
Tommy: ...
"He’s assisting with the investigation. He has more than enough evidence."
"Hn." Evan Fairchild nodded.
Tommy finally understood. ’Right now, no multi-billion-dollar proposal, no important meeting, was more important than matters concerning Miss Monroe!’
Evan Fairchild picked up his phone and dialed a number, completely disregarding the fact that it was the middle of the night on the other side of the world.
"Who the hell is calling me this late!"
"Me."
"President Fairchild! I’m so sorry, President Fairchild, I didn’t know it was you!"
"Are you interested in coming back to the country?"
"Nope."
Suddenly, the line went completely silent. It was a deathly quiet.
A few seconds later, a helpless and resigned voice came through the phone. "Yes! I am extremely eager to return to the country and remain by President Fairchild’s side!"
"Then get your ass back here by tomorrow!"
Tommy was dumbfounded. ’Did the boss just order that power player back to the country? That’s the top international agent in the world, the entertainment mastermind who single-handedly launched superstars like Helen Hogben and Vivian to fame!’
...
After finishing the shoot, Melody Monroe went to the side to rest.
Only then did she have a moment to open her phone and check the news online.
Things online had calmed down a bit.
After she and Zane Langdon followed each other, she gained over three thousand followers, but her total was still under a hundred thousand.
Her last post was still the retweet of Stellaris’s official announcement about her contract.
Before that, it was just some posts from her time on the talent show.
Suddenly, she received a notification. Zane Langdon had actually posted something. Melody Monroe immediately clicked on it.
"Today, I made everyone worry about me again. I’m sure you all know the whole story by now. The videos online are real, and I was the one who called the police."
