Chapter 315: Guarding an Empty Room, President Fairchild is Terrifying
"Go on, see if that’s really what he means."
"But I’m not interested in him like that."
"Rose, this is an opportunity. An opportunity to try letting go and starting over. You two haven’t seen each other in so many years, and now you’re working together. It’s normal to get a little closer. And if it’s not romantic, you can still be good friends."
That last sentence really convinced Rose Shaw.
Rose Shaw picked up her phone and replied to the message.
"Alright, I sent it."
Melody Monroe smiled. "That’s more like it!"
"Hurry up and eat. We’re going to the gym when you’re done."
"You got it!"
...
Tommy glanced at the untouched breakfast on the table and the cold black tea beside it. Then he looked over at President Fairchild, who was sitting at his computer with a grim expression.
’It’s been a while since I’ve seen President Fairchild like this. This is how he used to be.’
’I’m actually not used to it anymore.’
He couldn’t help but yawn again. That was the ninth one.
At six o’clock this morning, he had gotten a call from President Fairchild summoning him to the company.
The drive from President Fairchild’s hotel to the Starfall headquarters took a full forty minutes.
’So what time did President Fairchild wake up?’
’Are men left to sleep alone really this terrifying?’
Evan Fairchild placed a file in front of Tommy. "Meeting at 8:10 sharp."
Tommy instantly snapped to attention and quickly checked the time. It was already 7:30.
"Yes, President Fairchild. I’ll go prepare right away."
The intensity of Evan Fairchild’s work ethic was something most people couldn’t handle.
’And today, he seems even more vicious than usual.’
’We’re doomed, doomed! No one’s getting off easy today!’
...
Melody Monroe didn’t return to Evan Fairchild’s hotel until evening. The room was empty, with everything packed neatly.
’Evan Fairchild isn’t here?’
’He must have gotten busy with work.’
She set aside the pastries she’d bought and picked up her phone to call her friend.
...
Everyone at Starfall, from top to bottom, felt like they were in a war zone all day.
’President Fairchild ignores us for ages, and when he finally shows up, he tries to cram a month’s worth of work into a single day?’
Everyone was on the verge of tears from the torment!
"President Fairchild, Aya Winters is already negotiating her contract termination with Stellaris. She will be partnering with us. She should be coming to the company herself in a few days."
Although Starfall was constantly signing new talent, they still needed top-tier stars like Aya Winters, an actress of her caliber.
Aya Winters terminating her contract with Stellaris would be a heavy blow to them.
"The girl group TTIMS has also reached its expected popularity metrics. Among new groups, they’ve already topped the charts."
"The film we invested in and are coordinating, *Darkness That the Sun Cannot Reach*, has entered post-production. A release date has been set."
...
Downstairs at the Starfall headquarters, a car pulled up.
The moment the person stepped out of the car, several people rushed over from all directions, snapping photos furiously.
Aya Winters stood her ground. Instead of leaving immediately or forbidding them from taking pictures as she might have before, she seemed to be in a particularly good mood, even striking a few poses for the cameras.
She took off her sunglasses and smoothed her brown hair.
Then, with her agent and five assistants in tow, she swept into the lobby in an imposing procession.
...
In the conference room, the meeting was still going.
The high tension and intense workload were pushing everyone beyond their limits.
Only Evan Fairchild seemed completely unaffected, looking just as he had when he first walked into the room.
’Is he made of iron? Starfall hasn’t been around for long, and the people under him have never experienced such high-pressure work. Some of them are about to break!’
