    “Please get up.”Amelie quickly snapped back to her senses and went to help him up.Although they


    were in a private room, it would not do to have a man be seen kneeling in front of her.It was just so very


    awkward.Mr. Hampton remained kneeling on the floor as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his


    hand. “Miss Foxy, I am only begging you because I am out of options. You have told me you want to


    quit, but both ke and Mr. Alston immediately said they would quit as well. If they quit, Miss Alston


    would quit too. Naturally, Miss yton… would not stay. With five people suddenly missing, my show


    cannot go on.”If it were anyone else, it would be fine. However, these five people dominated the


    discussion around the show.“You also know that our show is under immense pressure. Even if we find


    recements in time, they might not be able to keep the ratings high. The studio executives might cut


    our show short too. Can you please find it in yourself to reconsider leaving the show?”His words


    shocked her.She did not expect such a huge chain reaction to happen just because she was quitting


    the show.She might have guessed ke would quit.But why would Leo quit too?Was he not in the


    show because of Elyse? The show had only just started. Why would he leave?“Even if I rejoin the


    show, it will not solve the problem.” She shrugged.It was hard to make a forest out of a single tree.“It


    will! Trust me!” He bounced to his feet while continuously wiping the sweat off his brows. “Just your 100


    million fans would be enough to boost our entire studio’s ratings.”In fact, it would not be an


    exaggeration to say they could boost up three television studios.Mr. Hampton envied her so much.Why


    was he not as capable as she was?How amazing it was to be able to uphold the ratings of multiple


    television studios.She was praised and worshiped wherever she went, unlike him. He had to grovel to


    everyone just to get some investors interested.His mind was filled with jealousy at the fantastical image


    of Foxy being responsible for multiple television studios’ ratings at once.“I’ll be honest, Miss Foxy. You


    were the one who wanted to join our show. We were fully staffed back then, but I still kicked out some


    actors just so we have space for you. You cannot abandon us now.” Mr. Hampton had multiple tricks up


    his sleeve.Nevertheless, it was enough to render her speechless.“How about this? I will convince


    key toe back. Once he is back, Jodie will surelye back. You can also call Elyse and


    personally invite her. She will surely agree as well.”Elyse was at the phase where she needed to


    rebuild her reputation. ‘Show Your Love’ was a good opportunity for her.No matter why Elyse left,


    Amelie was certain she could lure Elyse back to the show.“As for Mr. Alston, I cannot help you


    there.”When he heard that she could persuade ke to return to the show, which would draw more


    people back to the show, his face looked much more pleasant.He had only nned to persuade her


    today.It seemed like his task was an extraordinary sess.“Let me thank you beforehand, Miss Foxy.”


    He clutched his hands around hers and looked at her as if she was his savior. “No matter what, I still


    hope you can reconsider your decision.”Her viewer ratings were enough to boost several studios. How


    could he bear to let that go?As Amelie forced an agreement to her lips, she sensed a strong stare


    directed at her.She looked up and, through the ss walls of the room, she saw a man walking toward


    her.Leo? There was the usual nk look on his face. The only emotion seen on it was a solemn


    look.His gaze was cold but did not seem to be focused on them. When Amelie locked eyes with him, he


    casually turned to look away.Mr. Hampton noticed Leo as well, and his hands swiftly pulled away from


    hers.For some reason, he broke out in a cold sweat.He did not know why, but he knew that Leo’s cold


    re was actually directed at him.As expected of the famous entrepreneur of the city, a single re


    was sharp enough to cut.Mr. Hampton clutched at his heart that had been stabbed by Leo’s gaze just


    now.Once her talk with Mr. Hampton was done, Amelie headed out of the studio.To avoid being stared


    at again, she specifically chose a quiet path to head down to the garage. She nned to leave without


    anyone noticing.She had just taken a few turns down the emergency stairwell when she noticed


    someone standing before her. It was Leo.One of his arms was drooped by his side with a cigarette


    between his fingers. To prevent the cigarette sparks from touching his clothes, he kept his wrist tilted


    upward.The hazy smoke made his fingers seem slim and fair. It was a magnificent sight to behold.He


    held a phone in his other hand, and he was staring at a nearby window. He did not say much; the only


    responses she heard were a few hums of acknowledgment.She knew that Leo did not have any


    business in the entertainment industry. He had definitely traveled all the way here just to help Elyse


    with the new turn of her career.Recalling his cold stare, she pretended to not have recognized him and


    walked past him. She did not want to talk to people who did not wee her presence.She was


    walking right behind him when he suddenly hung up and turned around to look at her.His gaze locked


    onto her.She silently stared back at him.After giving him a polite nod, she continued on her way.“Why


    do you target Elyse?” Leo suddenly asked.There was a frown on his brows. Combined with the way he


    was holding his cigarette, he looked so cold yet sensual.She was surprised to hear him speak, and


    even more surprised that he immediately asked her a question about Elyse. Her heart went cold. Any


    tiny bit of politeness she had in her immediately vanished when she heard that.Indeed, the question


    had to have been festering in his mind for a long time. He must have been so busy helping Elyse with


    her career that he did not have any time to ask Amelie about anything.Shenguidly turned around and


    stared right into his eyes, just like he did. “What? Does it hurt you to see that?”He frowned harder but


    did not respond.In her view, his silence was confirmation.She coldly chuckled, her pink lips curved into


    a mocking smile beneath her mask.“Since it hurts to see that, then keep a close eye on her!”She then


    walked away.He did not stop her. His brooding gaze remained locked on her figure through the cloud of


    smoke.He noticed the confident arch of her shoulders and a strut that was filled with determination and


    strength.He naturally did not ask her that because he was worried about Elyse.He was merely


    curious.From what he knew of her, she would not target anyone for no reason.However, she used the


    first episode of the show topletely destroy Elyse’s reputation.Just how big of a grudge did she hold


    against Elyse?Back in his mind, that question merged with the rest of the questions bothering him. He


    desperately needed some relief.What did she mean by keeping a close eye on Elyse?Did Elyse do


    something to her?Momentster, he snuffed out his cigarette and called Victor. “Look into what has


    recently happened between Amelie and Elyse.”
