SWNOVELS Chapter 13
Chapter 13 I’m on your side
The news of hf changing its spokesperson quickly spread in the industry….
Kevin also received this news during his free time. For him, being a spokesperson for hf at Century Studios was something even the lowest–level artist might not be interested in. However, for Lilian, it meant successfully taking back what belonged to her from Hillary’s. hands. So he immediately called Lilian and said: “Well done.”
Lilian chuckled lightly and sighed: “Getting your praise makes me happier than anything else.”
“I’ll wait for you…to return to the top position.”
This time, Lilian only answered with two words: “I will!” It was also time to go back to Rainer Entertainment and see Hillary’s ugly behavior.
When the news came out, Hillary was sleeping soundly in Brent’s apartment. She had run away from the hospital yesterday using a trick of pretending to be sick just so she could keep
Brent by her side all night long and prevent him from calling Lilian again. Once something was in Hillary’s hands, no one else…could ever hope to take it away again – especially not
someone like Lilian who always opposed her.
The assistant rushed over anxiously with the news and showed it to her. At first, Hillary
refused to believe it: “hf has already decided on their spokesperson; there can’t possibly be any changes now.”
“Hillary, this is true. Mr. Hart received a call from hf at noon today telling him that they wanted to replace you with Lilian as their spokesperson instead; otherwise they would rather
work with other artists.” The assistant pointed at the news article anxiously yet dejectedly,“How did Lilian manage to snatch this endorsement right under your nose?”
“Let’s go back to our company; I want Brent himself give me an explanation.” Hillary knew that if she questioned Brent over phone or at home, he could easily talk his way out of it with sweet words. Only by going to the company and confronting him face–to–face would he
handle this matter properly.
In fact, Brent was already at his wit’s end. The other party was so determined to have Lilian as their spokesperson that they directly replaced Hillary without any hesitation. This caused. a lot of damage to Hillary, but did he have the right to refuse? After all, he couldn’t afford
not to take the money.
Just when Brent was thinking about how to appease Hillary, she arrived in Mr. Alexander’s office on a wheelchair with her assistant’s help carlier than Lilian since their companies. were only a few hundred meters apart.
–
“Brent, what is going on? How could my endorsement be snatched away by Lilian?”
Brent gestured for the assistant to leave and waited until there were only two people left in the room before walking up to Hillary and hugging her: “Hillary, there is nothing we can do. about this; I will negotiate better endorsements for you.”
“You know very well that hf’s Harvey Fitzgerald is Miss Yin Lin who won Top 10 Model of The Year Award’s brother. This endorsement means a lot to me! Most importantly…how could it be taken away by Lilian?” Hillary pushed Brent away excitedly and indignantly,“She has already taken you from me; isn’t that enough? Why does she always want everything I have? If I lose this endorsement then I don’t want our child anymore nor will I stay at Rainer Entertainment!”
“What are you saying?” Brent quickly restrained her,“How can you say something like giving up our child so easily? You know very well that I’m on your side but hf has been very firm this time…”
“Anyway, Lilian has given way many times before. What difference does one more make? She wants to marry you anyway.Why does she still need to be a spokesperson?” After hearing Hillary’s words, Brent felt that they made sense. With Lilian’s personality, since she had given way so many times before, one more time wouldn’t make much difference. She would definitely agree to it. So he quickly reassured Hillary: “I will talk to her and ask her not to upset you anymore, okay?“Hillary fell into Brent’s arms crying, but at that moment, the assistant knocked on Brent’s office door and announced that Lilian and Sylvia had returned to the company.
Hillary quickly wiped away her tears and kept a certain distance from Brent. She still looked
sad until Lilian pushed open the door of Brent’s office.
“Lilian, where were you last night? Do you know I was looking for you all night?” Brent immediately questioned her.
Lilian glanced at him and then at Hillary. “It was just a misunderstanding between me and Hillary. I have already clarified it in the news. Don’t make a big deal out of it.”
Lilian avoided eye contact with him because she knew very well that when he spent all night looking for her, he ended up in bed with Hillary; otherwise, he would have noticed that she was no longer in her original apartment.
“But Miss Stone and I are not a misunderstanding…” Lilian calmly said, “I helped her so many times but she turned around to bite me. In your eyes, am I so easy to bully?”
“Hillary was also afraid of paparazzi being present at the time,” Brent explained.
“Is that so?” Lilian asked skeptically.
“In any case, this matter is over now. You don’t need to pursue it anymore,” Brent commanded directly. “And about hf endorsement deal – give it back to Hillary. This endorsement is too important for her since you won’t be doing any more shows after
retiring.”
“That’s right,” added Hillary as part of persuasion effort.“You haven’t done any runway shows. in years; besides hf chose you only because they thought I couldn’t recover from my injury temporarily.”
“This statement sounds ironic coming from Miss Stone,” retorted Lilian coldly which earned rebuke from Brent.
“Lilian, you never used to be like this before! And if you love me still…you shouldn’t take this endorsement. For the company’s long–term plan, we need Hillary to win that award and
raise our status.”
Brent’s words were clearly threatening, even using love as a bargaining chip.
Hillary secretly laughed in her heart when she heard this because she knew Lilian would do
anything for Brent, let alone give up an endorsement deal.
“Brent, you should contact hf company right away and explain it to them. Lilian is considering wedding issues and doesn’t intend to take any endorsements, Hillary suggested.
Brent nodded and was about to pick up the phone on his desk but Lilian reached out and
pressed down on the phone in Brent’s hand: “I’ll take this endorsement.”
“Lilian?” Brent was surprised. After all, Lilian had never opposed any of his decisions before.
“Don’t forget that I am also a model at Rainer Entertainment. Besides, I have already talked with Harvey Fitzgerald hf’s founder- he is looking forward to our cooperation!”
