Chapter 141
The driver couldn’t fathom the enigma that his life seemed to have turned into.
Ben suddenly remembered something and began to coax Susan with a proposition, “Susan, that model
Rose, who you said would be a perfect fit for our new brand, is shooting the advertisement tomorrow.
Would you like to go and watch if you are a fan of
hers?”
“Hub?” Susan was momentarily confused. “Rose?”
Ben rified, “Yeah, out of the four candidates we hadst time, she was the one your
believed was the best fit.”
Susan was stunned, “But… I just said it in passing.”
She hadn’t expected Ben to actually go ahead and finalize Rose for the job.
A wave of anxiety suddenly engulfed her.
What if her casual suggestion turned out to be a mistake that adversely affected the sales of the new
smartphone?
Although she hadn’t been deeply involved in the development of the phone, she knew it embodied the
hard work and aspirations of Ben and his team.
If the campaign tanked because of her choice, she’d be drowning in guilt.
However, Ben seemed nonchnt about it. “It doesn’t really matter who the spokesperson is. Our new
phone will surely sell like hot cakes.”
uneasy “TL

“Alright,” Susan conceded, still feeling ad shoot is tomorrow, right? I have the day off, so maybe I’ll drop
by and check things out?”
She wanted to personally ensure that her choice delivered the expected impact.
“Sure,” Ben said casually, “I’ll just inform the person in charge. But Susan, I have to head to Mbo in
the next couple of days to discuss a potential coboration and development project with the
government there. Please keep me posted if anythinges up at home.”
Susan cast a teasing yet serious nce at him, “You won’te back with a different face again, will
you?”

This made Ben act all pitiful as he leaned closer to Susan, whispering, “How dare I? Last time I
changed my look you didn’t let me touch you for days. If I change my face again, when will the restraint
end?”
Even though the driver couldn’t hear their conversation, Susan still cast a nervous nce towards the
front.
The driver immediately straightened up, putting on an act of seeing nothing.
Susan blushed and gently pinched Ben, who seemed unaffected, wearing a thick skin that masked any
reaction, as if nothing had transpired.
The next day.
Ben left for Mbo bright and early.
Susan nced at the clock and decided to visit the ad shoot set.
As she stepped out, she bumped into Monica, who was just alighting from her car.
Monica,cking a certain depth of thought yet possessing a skin thick as a brick wall, greeted Susan
with a smile as if nothing had transpired between them before, “Hey Susan, where are you heading? It
doesn’t look like you’re going to work at this hour, are you?”
Susan felt somewhat awkward.
Hadn’t they clearly had a falling out before?

How could Monica just stroll up and greet her as if nothing had happened?
Monica had no shame, and it seemed Susan still had some semnce of decency.
Smiling, she replied, “Nothing much, just going out for a stroll.”
An idea sparked in Monica’s mind.
She remembered her father telling her that to manipte Susan, she first needed to find her weakness.
But how could she pinpoint Susan’s vulnerability?
Obviously, she had to get closer to her.

So Monica warmly suggested, “I’m free too, why don’t we go together?”
Susan was at a loss for words.
She really couldn’t deal with Monica’s thick–skinned approach.
She declined, “No need. I’m good on my own.”
“But that would be so boring!” Monica hastily objected, “With me, we can chat and enjoy each other’s
company.”
Susan reiterated, “Really no need, I’m fine.”
“You’re too polite,” Monica pressed on energetically, “Don’t worry, I drove here myself. I can just follow
you wherever you go.”
Susan waspletely speechless.
Was Monica nning to stick to her like an annoying ster that refuses toe off?
Susan suggested tactfully, “You must have other things to do around here? I wouldn’t want to hold you
up.”
“Not really,” Monica said, “I heard Edie is out of town, and I thought I’d keep Charliepany so he
wouldn’t be lonely. But now I think about it, with Penelope around, he probably doesn’t need me. I
might as well join you.”
Susan was at a loss.for words.
It seemed this annoying ster had indeed firmly attached itself to her, and now she was also
concerned that Monica might bother Charlie.
Forcing a smile, she said, “Thetest series of Storm phones have secured al spokesperson, and they
are filming the advertisement today. I’m going to check out the set, which should be quite boring.
Charlie is probably resting now, why don’t you just go
home?”
The underlying message in Susan’s words was crystal clear.
But understanding subtleties was not Monica’s strong suit.
Monica’s smile brightened instantly, “Filming advertisement? I’ve never seen one! This is a great
opportunity to broaden my horizons.”

Susan was at a loss for words again.
Monica looked at her somewhat innocently, “Don’t you want to take me with you? In that case, maybe I
should go visit Charlie instead.
Without any expression, Susan grabbed her arm.
Monica was truly shameless, and to make matters worse, their families had some connections, so she
couldn’t deal with her as she would with others.
If Monica insisted on seeing Charlie, he would most likely agree to see her.
Charlie was not in the best of healthtely. What if Monica spewed some nonsense and upset the old
man?
Susan sighed internally. Fine! She was just unlucky.
It seemed she had to grit her teeth and endure Monica’s harassment for now.
“What’s the matter?” Monica asked innocently, looking at Susan.
“I’ll take you with me,” Susan said with a stern face.
“Oh Susan, you’re simply the best!” Monica said, her face breaking into a bright smile, seemingly
unaware of Susan’s icy tone.
Susan didn’t respond, but a thought ran across her mind, “weak people are afraid of strong ones,
strong ones fear the aggressive, and the aggressive fear those who have no shame.”
Despite being coerced into bringing Monica along, Susan sternly warned her, “Monica, I’m just visiting
the ad shoot site. The professionals handle the actual work, and it has nothing to do with us. Do you
understand?”
Monica’s eyes twinkled as she said cheerfully, “Don’t worry, I promise I’ll just watch and keep quiet.”
Susan nodded, but her mind was on high alert.
If it weren’t for the prearranged meeting with the ad team, she would have called it off, especially since
Monica insisted oning along.
Now that she was still going, she had to keep a close eye on Monica to prevent her from causing any
unforeseen troubles.
Chapter 141
Half an hourter, the car pulled up at a seven–star luxury hotel.
The top floor had been booked by the film crew for themercial shoot.
Susan headed to the elevator that would take her to the top floor, with Monica following closely behind.
On the top floor.

After making a call, the person in charge of the ad personally came down to greet them, wearing a
warm smile, he said, “Wee, Mrs. Landor, we are honored to have you inspect our work.”
Susan was about to respond with a friendly remark when Monica suddenly chimed in, batting her
eyshes coquettishly, “Which Mrs. Landor are you referring to? I am also Mrs. Landor, you know.”
