As they were speaking, Brendan came out of his office with an obviously gloomy expression on his
face. He then said to Maeve Lindberg’s manager, “The dress has already been completed. If you’re
dissatisfied, we can give you a full refund.”
Apparently, Maeve’s manager didn’t expect Brendan to say that. Surprised, she replied with a smile,
“Please don’t be mad, Mr. Griffith. We aren’t saying that we’re not satisfied with the dress; it’s just that
Maeve said the dress is the result of your hard work since you designed it yourself. You know what kind
of a person she is, though. She said she’ll perhaps be satisfied if you personally deliver the dress to
her.”
“That’s enough,” Brendan interrupted her right away. “Please help me tell Miss Lindberg that it’s not a
problem if she’s dissatisfied with the design and needs it to be revised. If she’s dissatisfied with the
dress, we can have it remade, and if she wants to terminate our contracts, we can choose to terminate
the contracts amicably. As for everything else, please tell her to behave herself.”
The manager quickly replied with an obsequious smile, “You’re going a bit too far in saying that, Mr.
Griffith. Maeve didn’t mean anything else. She just wanted to be friends with you, but if you don’t want
to, she won’t force it, of course. To put it bluntly, we didn’t come to you for the dress; we came to you
because Maeve is interested in you. Since you don’t reciprocate Maeve’s feelings, let’s forget about our
collaboration. As for the compensation, you just have to pay the money according to what was stated in
the contract.”
Brendan looked as black as thunder. “Alright then, goodbye and good riddance,” he uttered between
clenched teeth. Then, he turned around and left regardless of the manager’s response.
The manager then said, “Don’t show me the door in such a hurry, Mr. Griffith. Actually, you’re skilled as
a designer, but Maeve admires your personality more. Besides, you’re currently single, and Maeve is a
popular female celebrity. She’s a good match for you, so why put on airs when you don’t have to?”
As soon as the manager finished her sentence, Elise walked out right away and looked at her with a
faint smile. “Since Maeve is a popular female celebrity, why force people into doing things they don’t
wanna do?” When the manager saw Elise, her eyes widened with amazement, especially when she
looked at Elise’s face, which was especially fair despite having no makeup on. Her bright and clear
eyes were especially beautiful, and her slender figure made her look like someone born to be a star.
Even Maeve would pale in comparison with her if she stood in front of her. However, for some reason,
the manager thought Elise’s face looked familiar to her. “And you are?”
she asked with a groveling smile on her face. Elise replied flatly, “Just one of the studio’s designers.”
The manager then took out a business card from her pocket. “I’m a manager from Bright Star
Entertainment. Are you interested in entering show business? You look so beautiful, and you’re young.
I guarantee that I’ll make you the top celebrity in less than three years.” “And then you’ll make me as
overbearing as you are?”
Elise shot back. The manager’s expression changed at once. “Brendan Griffith should feel honored that
Maeve has taken a fancy to him. Do you believe that Maeve can make your studio go out of business
with just a word?” Elise had seen some arrogant people before, but she had never seen someone as
arrogant as the manager. Folding her arms across her chest, she said,
“Well, you can give it a try. Let’s see if our studio will go out of business or if Maeve will disappear from
show business in the end.” Elise’s words sent a chill down the manager’s spine. She had a vague
feeling that Elise didn’t seem to be joking, and that she really seemed capable of doing that. But on
second thought, Elise was only a young lady who was still wet behind the ears. How capable can she
be? she thought. “Do you think such a threat will work on me? Let me tell you that it’s only a matter of
minutes if we want your studio to go out of business.”
Elise replied, “Alright then, I’ll wait for it! But let me remind you that a wicked person is doomed to
destruction. Lastly, tell Maeve to stop harassing Brendan.” The manager gave Elise a long stare before
replying with a sneer, “Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can meddle in Maeve’s
affairs?
Here’s a piece of sound advice for you: you’ll pay the price for poking your nose into somebody else’s
business.” Without waiting for Elise’s response, she shot her a warning stare and left. At the sight of the
scene, Elise’s eyes grew darker bit by bit. Just then, the assistant hurriedly came to her and asked,
“Are you alright, Elise?” Elise’s instinct told her that there was more to it than what the manager had
said, but she didn’t give it much thought. She merely replied,
“I’m fine.” The assistant sighed. “This isn’t the first time Maeve has pestered Mr. Griffith. In fact, she
has done it a few times. Mr. Griffith has been reluctant to deal with them, but the collaboration
agreement they signed back then is valid for a year, so he’s been doing all he can to keep Maeve
away… But it seems that Maeve won’t stop until she’s got her hands on Mr. Griffith. It’s the first time
I’ve seen such a shameless woman. She pretends to be so likable and innocent on the big screen, but
who would’ve known that she’s such a woman in private?”
she said. As she spoke, however, she broke off in the middle of her speech and looked at Brendan
nearby with a horrified expression. “Mr. Griffith, I…” Brendan opened his mouth, saying, “Just go ahead
with your work.” The assistant quickly ran away. When Elise realized what had happened, she was
already nowhere to be seen. Brendan came over and said, “Thank you, Elise. But please stay out of
this in the future.” Elise was somewhat puzzled.
“Why are you putting up with her like that?” Brendan explained, “Maeve’s got connections in the
underworld. I’m a businessman, so I can’t offend those in the underworld.” The furrow in Elise’s brow
deepened. “So you’re just going to keep putting up with her like that?” Brendan let out a sigh. “I’m fine.
The contract will end in less than half a year, anyway.” Elise thought that Brendan didn’t seem like
someone who would swallow his pride, but he kept trying his best to avoid Maeve, as if she were
vicious.
Elise had a hard time concentrating in the afternoon as she kept thinking about Maeve. In the end, she
took out her cell phone and googled Maeve’s name, and a detailed introduction of her immediately
popped up on Wikipedia… There was nothing special about the introduction on Wikipedia since it had
glorified Maeve in every way possible. As Elise had no impression of the woman, she put her cell
phone away without giving it much thought. Elise worked overtime until past 9PM as usual.
Then, she switched off the lights, ready to leave the office. She was the last person to leave the studio
every day, so she had grown used to it. As usual, she left the studio after locking the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the studio, a dark silhouette popped up in front of her and
then put a gunnysack on her. Elise struggled out of reflex, but she lost consciousness after only a few
seconds.
A male voice sounded, saying, “Throw her into the trunk.” With that, several men quickly threw Elise
into the car and then drove off. All of this happened in a flash. Within two mere minutes, the car was
nowhere to be seen, and the surroundings were quiet again as usual.
