Chapter 728 You Can’t Judge a Book by Its Cover


    Blinking, Chloe asked, "A man''s lover? You mean the kind I''m thinking of?"


    "Yes. A man," Noah replied calmly.


    Her lips twitched, and she seemed puzzled. "Seriously? He doesn''t strike me as that kind of person.


    How could he..."


    She had read some reports about Michael. He came from a wealthy family, and his journey to fame


    was inspirational. It was hard to believe that he wouldpromise himself like that.


    Sensing Chloe''s doubt, Noah continued, "Some people are like that. You can''t judge a book by its


    cover."


    "Maybe you''re right." Chloe shrugged. "Xavia’s that way too."


    She did not hold much attachment to Michael and was simply curious about it. He was just Exotic


    Star''s cooperative partner. If things did not work out with him, they could rece him.


    Noah watched Chloe return to her bedroom before heading to the bathroom to freshen up. The


    large mirror reflected a sophisticated and gentle young man with impable features and a warm,


    amiable demeanor. But upon closer scrutiny, the smile on his face appeared somewhat forced and


    lacked genuine warmth.

    Early the next morning, Chloe went to work as usual. Shortly after the morning meeting, Michael


    showed up. She was surprised and had her secretary bring two cups of coffee.


    "I watched the live stream yesterday. Why didn''t you let me appear on camera? Did I do something


    wrong?" Michael humbly inquired.


    Chloe recalled what Noah saidst night and felt a little embarrassed to look into Michael’s eyes.


    "After some discussion, Exotic Star decided to use our in-house livestreamer. Suddenly changing


    hosts might not sit well with the audience. So, we’ve decided to stick with our in-house


    livestreamer."


    "I see. Well then, if there''s a chance, I''d like to give it a try. After all, I''ve been a livestreamer before


    and I won''t charge any fees," Michael said, not willing to give up on the girl he had grown fond of.


    He hoped to build a rtionship with her through work. Besides, there were two other high-quality


    men around her, so he had to seize every opportunity he could.


    Feeling the sincerity in his words, Chloe found it difficult to reject him outright. After all, he was a


    well-known celebrity who was humble and easy to work with. If it were not for Noah''s instructions,


    she might have agreed. But in the end, she found a reason to turn down his kind offer.


    Michael did not continue to pester her, but he did sense a change in how she treated him. As soon


    as he stepped out of her office, he called his agent to ask if he had left a bad impression on anyone


    at Exotic Star.

    From a corner, Noah was chatting with a designer when he looked up and saw Michael walking out


    of Chloe''s office. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to interrupt the designer. "Wait here for


    a moment."


    "You have plenty of othermercial performances scheduled, if Exotic Star doesn''t work out, we


    can switch to another agency. It''s not like we can''t earn money elsewhere,” Michael’s agent said.


    "You don''t understand. It''s not about money," Michael replied.


    "What do you mean?"


    "There''s a girl at Exotic Star that I quite like. My family is pressuring me, and I would like to get


    married."


    "Who is she? I have to assess her. I can''t let you be with someone with aplicated background."


    "You don''t have to worry about that. I’ll make my own decisions regarding my private life."


    After hanging up the phone, Michael felt a sudden chill behind him. He turned around to look, but


    there was nothing there. Assuming that he was overthinking things, he went to his car.

    At 6 in the afternoon, after a long hard day of work, office workers turned to their phones to watch


    some entertainment videos. Suddenly, a pop-up about Michael being the secret lover of a wealthy


    businessman appeared on their screens. There were also a few blurry photos attached at the end of


    the article, and it instantly became the most trendy topic of the day.


    Chloe also saw the pop-up. She erged the photos and stared at them but could not clearly


    identify whether the person in them was Michael. However, severalizens analyzed the photos


    extensively and some imed to have witnessed Michael staying at a hotel with an overweight


    man.


    She felt something was amiss. Noah had mentioned this justst night, and today, it was suddenly


    exposed so quickly. It all seemed too coincidental.
