Chapter 909
Celeste watched as the two men aired each other’s dirty laundry and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
How come she felt that Steven had a bone to pick with Liam, even more so than her?
This was definitely crossing the line for a boss
In fact, since she signed with Steven, he seemed to have given her special treatment, and recently, he’s been visiting her frequently. If it wasn’t bringing her food, it was clothing, all in the name of the company, so she couldn’t refuse
However, according to what Celeste learned from other artists signed with to company, they also received company perks, but not as much as she got, and none of them had the boss personally deliver them.
Steven’s attention to her had already exceeded the usual relationship between a boss and an artist. Usually, in this situation, the implication
would be obvious – he had ulterior motives.
But Steven made no demands on her.
Each time they met, he would take her out to eat, or for drinks, and they never visited the same restaurant twice. He would always order a bunch
of dishes and insisted she try each one
In just over a week, following him around eating all that food, she had put on three or four pounds, even Javier asked her today if she looked a bit puffy
She even started to wonder if Steven was trying to make her gain weight so she wouldn’t be able to act anymore, and then have her pay a penalty for not making money for the company?
But thinking about the vast wealth of the Garcia family, and then her own small penalty, Steven wouldn’t do that
But what he was after, Celeste really couldn’t figure out.
Liam didn’t want to argue with Steven anymore, and turned to Celeste, “Letti get in the car.”
Before Celeste could move, Steven said, “Celeste, your career is just starting to take off, don’t let an insignificant person hold you back. The pay for this commercial isn’t low, it’s six figures. Think it through.”
Celeste was speechless
Seeing her silent, Liam suddenly felt a bit anxious, and sure enough, Celeste’s expression started to waver.
When it comes to money, she has no bottom line
Liam gritted his teeth.
They had been married for many years, and he had spent a lot on her. Why did she act like that at the mention of money?
Did money have a stronger hold on her than he did?
Liam cleared his throat, drawing Celeste’s attention
She glanced at him and caught his gaze and immediately felt guilty
“Actually I had made plans with Mr. Reed a long time ago.”
Celeste decisively chose Liam, which made Liam feel a lot better.
Steven glanced at Liam and suddenly sighed, “This ad, Eaton and I have done a lot of preparation, spent a lot of money and effort, just need to meet tonight and sign the contract. If you don’t go tonight, I don’t know if we can arrange another meeting.”
Celeste
She looked at Steven, then at Liam.
Liam seemed to know that she might accept Steven’s invitation, his eyes were a bit lost
Celeste found it a bit funny, did he have no faith in her?
She said, “Steve, it’s not convenient today. I have a younger brother, Sean, who’s about to start school. Liam once tutored him, and his family want to have Liam over dinner. They know him through me, so I have to go”
