Chapter 307


    “Happy New Year, President X,” Georgie Clementine said.


    “Happy New Year, Georgie,” X Quest replied.


    “Apart from wishing you a Happy New Year, I also have good news for you. Do you remember Morty


    Wayne, the mixed-blood youth we spotted ying piano at the restaurant the other day?” Georgie


    asked.


    “Yeah, I remember him. Have you signed him on?” X asked with a smile.


    “Yeah, I went to his house early this morning to get him signed,” Georgie said.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Early this morning?” Although X knew Georgie was a workaholic, she was not expecting her to


    go out and sign someone to theirpany this early in the morning.


    “It’s… It’s because I received news that otherpanies are now contacting him too. He has so


    much potential. I can’t let someone else im him before we do. This year, it just so happens that


    my family is also here in Antis for the New Year celebrations. Since his family is also in Antis, I


    decided to head over directly. President X, this isn’t why I’m here today. More importantly, I need


    to talk to you about ourpany’s trainee, Ernie West, whom we have originally selected to


    participate in ‘Teenage Idol’. Last night, he was caught using drugs. Hence, I’ve decided to


    terminate his contract and rece him with someone else. A person like him should not stay in our


    company,” Georgie added.


    Ernie West was a very talented trainee. X and Georgie had high hopes for him.


    To their surprise, he had gotten into drugs and ruined his future. X felt upset but sorry for him at


    the same time.


    X immediately frowned coldly. “Go ahead and terminate the contract,” she said.


    “Yeah… I have a bold idea. I’m not sure if you would agree to it,” Georgie said.


    “Tell me…” X continued to listen intently.


    “I n to rece Ernie with Morty Wayne. I’ve seen videos of him singing and dancing on his social


    media ount. His professionalism level isparable to the trainees who have trained in our


    company for a long time. Didn’t you think he was great too? Why don’t we give him this


    opportunity?” Georgie asked.


    “You can decide,” X said.


    Since Georgie imed that Morty was suitable for the talent show, that meant he was. X believed


    in Georgie’s opinionpletely.


    After they hung up, Xy downzily.


    The warm lighting in through the french window shone on her face, making her feel evenzier.


    X stretched a little before she reached for a pillow, hugged it, and slowly closed her eyes.

    In two hours, Stanley Batton had prepared a full table of food.


    There were meat and vegetables of bnced nutrition, and the dishes’ presentation was exquisite.


    After everything was prepared, Stanley removed his ck apron and returned to the living room.


    At this moment, X was curled up and asleep on the couch. Her face was turned toward the coffee


    table.


    With a warm light against her face, X seemed unusually gentle.


    Stanley sat slowly next to where X’s head was. He lifted a hand to brush against her hair. His


    touch was so soft that it felt like he was stroking a cat.


    Although they were opposites in terms of their personality, nothing seemed out of ce when they


    were together.


    “Beep, beep, beep—”


    Right then, X’s phone, which she had ced by her head, began to ring and vibrate. She


    immediately opened her eyes wide.


    Meanwhile, Stanley quickly drew his hand away.


    Gently, X covered her mouth and yawned before sitting up and picking up the phone.


    An unfamiliar number was disyed on the screen.


    X answered the call instantly.


    “Is this X?” A familiar voice softly filled her ears, bringing to her mind shbacks of memories in


    the past.


    Countless memories flooded her mind like a tsunami rushing over thend.
