Chapter 24: Meeting the Sponsor
Gwenda was busy with the preparation of the studio, so she did not know the things that happened to Cecilia.
She only called her when she saw the announcement of the contract termination made on KG Entertainment's official Twitter.
After that day, Cecilia lost her job. In fact, she regretted it the next day. But since everything had been said and done, she could only rely on Gwenda now. As she had not contacted her, Cecilia was naturally stressed.
Just as she decided to contact Gwenda, the latter called her first. When she saw that it was her, Cecilia picked up immediately.
She was afraid that Gwenda would hold a grudge against her due to KG Entertainment terminating the contract in advance.
But it seemed that Cecilia's worries were unfounded as Gwenda merely laughed after hearing about what really happened. "Well, it seems that we've unintentionally achieved our goal. I was originally planning to give you another two months time, but it seems that all our plans will have to be prepared in advance."
"It won't have any impact, would it?"
Cecilia wondered out loud with concern.
"No, don't worry. This will only accelerate your path to stardom." Gwenda assured her with a smile on her face.
Cecilia sighed in relief, "Thank you, Gwenda."
"No problem! We're a team from now on! Are you free today? Bring all your works with you, I'm taking you to meet someone!"
"Okay."
Cecilia agreed without hesitation.
"Right, I'll be sending you the location of where we're going. See you then!"
Gwenda hung up and immediately sent Cecilia the location as promised.
Then, she got changed and prepared to head out.
"Going somewhere?"
Olivier's low voice sounded behind her.
Gwenda, who was changing her shoes, froze for a moment before turning around. She said, "Yeah, I'm going out for an important errand. You don't have to wait up for me for dinner." "Alright."
Olivier came up to her and gently ruffled her hair, "Come back early, okay?"
Gwenda blushed a little at that.
Why did this scene look like as if they were a pair of newlyweds who could not bear to part from each other?
She cleared her throat and nodded awkwardly. "Yeah."
"Go on."
Thus, Gwenda left the apartment under his gaze.
Closing the door, Olivier headed back to the living room. He was about to start thinking about how to spend the day without Gwenda when his phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
He picked up the call. "Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Olivier Petit? We're from the police station. We have some ideas about the fire at Decker Hotel from a few days ago..."
Olivier's mien became dark and frigid. "... That's why we suspect that this wasn't an accident and is high likely arson. We still lack evidence in regards to the suspect mentioned earlier. Could you please come over to assist us in the investigation?"
His eyes narrowed. "Yes, I'll be right there."
Gwenda and Cecilia met outside the Reed Corporation building.
"Did you bring the stuff I asked you to?"
"Yep."
Cecilia nodded and took out a USB stick from her bag.
Gwenda took it and studied it for a moment. She thought, "With this, we'd be doing more with less."
Grinning, she took the lead. "Let's go."
"Huh? Where to?"
Cecilia followed her in confusion, looking at the high-end office building in front of her.
She thought, "Isn't this the Reed Corporation building?" then asked out loud, "Why are we here?"
Gwenda did not give her an answer, merely leading her inside and headed straight for the lifts.
Cecilia followed her and looked around curiously. The sophisticated atmosphere present caused her to speak softly, "Why did you bring me here?" Gwenda replied with a smile, "Well, our sponsor is here."
"What?"000
