Chapter 738
Perhaps Javier wanted to use this opportunity to quell the rumors of discord between Sydney and Leonard.
With that in mind, Celeste asked, “How is Leonard’s injury?”
Javier replied, “He should be better. I haven’t asked for specifics, but I’ll give you his contact information, and you can ask
him.”
After hanging up, Javier sent Leonard’s contact information.
Celeste added Leonard as a friend and introduced herself.
After waiting for a bit without a response, Celeste smiled wryly. Maybe the big star didn’t remember who she was. With that thought, she put her phone aside.
At that moment, Leonard, who was resting on his bed, heard his phone ping. Squinting, he picked up his phone, and when he saw the friend request, he immediately sat up.
His manager jumped, “What’s up?”
Leonard, shirtless, sat on his bed, with his eyes glowing like fire, “My idol just added me on WhatsApp!”
Leonard got off his bed, pacing barefoot around the room anxiously, “What should I say after I accept her friend request?” “Tell her you have a house, a car, good looks, long legs, you’re still single, and a virgin.”
Leonard scolded his manager, “You’re an idiot.”
His manager snorted, “Never thought about pursuing your idol?”
Leonard’s ears turned red, “I’m satisfied enough working with her; I haven’t thought about anything else.”
His manager said, “That’s right, do you know who your idol’s ex–husband is?”
Leonard immediately thought of the man who treated him last night.
“Who?”
“The CEO of Quantum Enterprises, Liam.” The manager shared the information he had gathered, “Since last night, the Reed family has been trying to contact lawyers, asking us to drop the lawsuit.”
Leonard furrowed his eyebrows, “Liam asked to drop the lawsuit?”
“No, it was Clyde. He said as long as we drop the lawsuit, any conditions we have could be met.”
“Did you agree?”
“How could I?” The manager glanced at him, “They nearly hurt your idol; how could I easily agree?”
Leonard’s face relaxed a bit, then he heard his manager continue, “Liam also contacted me, inviting you to be the brand spokesperson for the Smart Chip drone series. The condition is that we don’t drop the lawsuit. So I agreed.”
Leonard retorted, “You’re betraying me! Do I lack opportunities for endorsements?”
His manager replied, “Since you don’t want to drop the lawsuit, Clyde will definitely find an excuse to cause trouble. But if we agree to Liam, it’s different. We don’t drop the lawsuit, we can take revenge for your idol, and we get an endorsement. If Clyde causes trouble in the future, Liam will surely help. Why wouldn’t I agree?”
Leonard frowned, “He divorced Letti; can he be a good person? Why should I help him?”
His manager persuaded him, “You’re helping your goddess and earning his money at the same time. This is also a way to take revenge for your goddess.”
Leonard mulled it over, thinking it kinda made sense, so he begrudgingly accepted it.
Then he asked, “Can you help me out here? What should I say after I add her as a friend?”
“No need to say anything; wait for her to make the first move.” His agent replied, “Give her a bit of that celebrity aloofness; don’t your fans dig your icy demeanor?”
Leonard figured he kinda had a point. Just as he was about to accept the friend request, a pesky ad call popped up on his phone.
1/2
He scrunched his eyebrows, tapped a couple of times, and once the ad call was disconnected, Leonard’s face turned sour. He had accidentally hit the “Decline” button.
