Chapter 926
Owen mulled it over and kind of got it.
Liam was probably talking about the crap he spouted in the car last night when he was hammered. Yeah, he did go a bit overboard
Owen cleared his throat, jokingly saying, “I get it, lovey–dovey stuff between a husband and wife.”
Liam…
What do you get?
Thinking about these two laughing at his silly antics, Liam wished he could shut them up
His face fell as he clenched his jaw. “Did you finish the minutes from yesterday’s meeting?”
Owen replied, “I can have them to you by noon.”
Liam finally found an outlet for his anger. He shot a glance at Owen, coldly saying. “Weren’t you able to get it done on the same day before? Are you getting old? Your work ability has dropped so much. The young guys in the company are about to surpass you, better step up your game
Owen…Wasn’t it he who asked me to go to the welfare house last night and said I could do the recording later? I’m efficient enough to not drag it out until today. Mr. Reed’s memory shouldn’t fail him on this. The only explanation was that he’s just nitpicking. Just because I was present when he was acting all cutesy and wanted to share a room with Celeste? Over such a trifle?
Owen was filled with confusion. He carefully said, “Mr. Reed, about last night, it’s no biggie, Celeste doesn’t mind, it’s natural between a husband and
wife”
Upon hearing this, Liam’s face darkened even more. “You better hand in the minutes by ten!”
Owen…
Naomi died in the hospital that night after failed resuscitation efforts.
Celeste learned about it from the news after work.
Some reporters even rushed to the hospital to take pictures of her body. The photos were deleted by the authorities shortly after they were posted
online.
Celeste saw the pictures taken by the reporters. In just over a week, Naomi had become extremely thin. In the photos, she was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and her lips purplish.
She was not at all the proud woman people remembered. She was lying there, with no dignity, being photographed at will by reporters eager for news.
Public opinion about Naomi was polarized. Some people thought she got what she deserved, while others felt that since she was dead, people should let her rest in peace. She hadn’t done anything terrible; she just didn’t know how to take care of herself and had let down her fans. There was no need to defame her after her death.
People who were close to Naomi’s assistant found out that Naomi’s body was left unclaimed in the hospital for three days. Her parents were ashamed and didn’t want to collect her body. In the end, it was said that her former assistant helped cremate her body.
During a break on set, Celeste sat in a corner looking at the script, overhearing people on set discussing. “Naomi was pretty pitiful. I heard her parents divorced a long time ago and both have new families now. No one wanted to take care of her. Because of her good looks, she was introduced to the modeling industry. Although she didn’t become super famous, the money she made was enough for her to live a carefree life.”
Someone interjected, “How is she pitiful? I didn’t think she was pitiful when she was oppressing others on set. You can say she had a hard life that was beyond her control. But people can’t always wallow in their hardships, right? She became a model at 19, attending car shows and making thousands a day. She was already much luckier than many people who came from a difficult background.
