Chapter 251


    Clem quickly answered the phone and made his way downstairs. He appeared to be in a hurry, walking


    and talking on the phone simultaneously. While his voice wasn’t raised, itcked warmth.


    “I’ve already told you, if he’s up for it, let him do it. If not, send him packing. No need toin about


    how tired he is. He’s not the only one in thispany working hard. He’s just another artist, not some


    priceless A-lister. There’s no reason for him to bezy Oh, by the way, the newbie looks promising


    Keep an eye on them.”


    Clem ended the call upon spotting Pearl and shed a mischievous yet sophisticated smile. “Hey,


    Pearl”


    He didn’t say anything, but Pearl could tell he was looking forward to seeing some drama. Did serious


    people always have a lot of time on their hands?


    “Hello, Mister Clem Can you help guide this artist here? Can you be his personal manager?”


    Given that Pearl had offered him a job and saved his wife’s life, Clem should be willing to oblige.


    However, he appraised Hanzel from head to toe, wearing an enigmatic expression. “Hanzel Waldorf?”


    Hanzel nodded politely. “Hello, Mister Clem.”


    “I’m rather strict when ites to managing people. Even if you’re a superstar out there, you’ll have to


    start from the bottom under my watch. I may not appear strict, but I assure you, I can turn your life into


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    a nightmare. Do you believe you can handle that?”


    Pearl couldn’t believe what she heard. He didn’t look very strict. That was a joke.


    Hanzel smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”


    “Good. Come with me to the training room, and I’ll give you a test,” Clem said before turning to Pearl


    with a smile. “I’ll be taking him now. If he turns out to be a good one, I’ll buy you dinner.”


    Pearl raised her chin. “Sure.”


    After Clem left with Hanzel, the acting president finally returned to his usual self.


    “Miss Pearl, Why wouldn’t you tell anyone you’re the real president of thepany?” It was a question


    that had perplexed


    many.


    Pearl pursed her l*ps, about to offer an exnation, but someone interrupted her.


    “Pearl.”


    Turning around, Pearl saw Richard approaching, causing her heart to sink slightly. “Yes?”


    Richard approached her and handed her a box of cupcakes. “I finished up some work at the office and


    came to pick you up.”


    “Ah, this is Mister Richard. I’ve heard a lot about your work, and it seems you’re exactly as people


    describe you.” The acting president was obviously a bootlicker, so when he found out Pearl and


    Richard had a close rtionship,plimenting Richard would mean giving apliment to Pearl too.


    It was killing two birds with one stone.


    However, his efforts were in vain, as Richard was numb to ttery and was even annoyed. Richard had


    observed from a distance that this man was standing very close to Pearl while talking to her, and his


    smile was creepy.


    He concluded that this man had ulterior motives so he didn’t bother being polite. “Thanks, Mister


    Fabian, but that sounded.


    rather insincere.”


    The first part of Richard’s response was polite, but the second part was brutally honest, leaving the


    acting president at a loss for words.


    Richard didn’t y by the rules!


    Unaware of Richard’s jealousy, the acting president assumed that Richard was simply not a pleasant


    individual, so he quickly excused himself. “Miss Pearl, I’ll take my leave. Please take care on your way


    home.”


    Richard was even more annoyed after hearing that. “Why do you care so much about my girlfriend?”
