CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 222: WHO TOLD YOU TO SIGN THIS GARBAGE

Kris Cooper stood up, "If you want a showdown, just go ahead and try!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t touch your woman." Kenton Maverick reached over to pat his shoulder, "Come on, the partners are still waiting for us!"

Kris Cooper walked out of the office with him, "How are you handling Maggie Clarke?"

"Full-scale shutdown, completely shelved, satisfied?" Kenton Maverick asked.

Kris Cooper took a deep breath, "At least you know what’s up."

Kenton Maverick slightly curled his lips, "The company spent tens of millions signing her, you gonna compensate me?"

Kris Cooper looked indifferent, "Who told you to sign such garbage."

Kenton Maverick just laughed; such a minor role, he couldn’t care less.

Their friendship surpassed brotherhood, there was no need for Kris Cooper to say anything; Maggie Clarke would have no chance for a comeback.

Kenton Maverick wouldn’t have liked someone with Maggie Clarke’s temperament anyway, and keeping such an actress would eventually bring negative news to disgrace Empire Sight.

As for the money spent on signing Maggie Clarke, with his fortune, he wouldn’t take it seriously; it was just a joke among friends.

Restaurant.

Vera Wave walked in with her bag, seeing Merlin Bradley in the corner browsing Facebook, she quickly ran over and sat across from her.

"Sorry for the wait, took a bit long."

"No worries!" Merlin Bradley handed over the phone, "Look at this, Facebook’s gone wild, ’Maggie Clarke throws a tantrum on set, forced by producer to bark like a dog’... Maggie Clarke is completely done now, with such negative news, she’s bound to be completely shut down! And also... there’s you, ’Mystery Newcomer on ’Flame’ set’..."

Vera Wave leaned over to look at her phone, indeed there was a photo of her, but since it was taken on a phone and from a distance, her face wasn’t very clear, she secretly sighed in relief.

The only reason she considered taking the film was for money, she didn’t truly want any developments in the entertainment industry, nor did she want any big news to come out.

"By the way." Merlin Bradley lifted her face from the screen, "Do you think the CEO will be mad when he sees you?"

"Probably not." Vera Wave accepted the lunch brought by the waiter, "As long as it doesn’t affect my normal work, it should be fine!"

"Makes sense, the company hasn’t stated we’re not allowed to have side gigs." Merlin Bradley’s face lit up with excitement again, "Vera, are you... playing the secondary female lead?"

"I... I wanted to give it a try, mainly because I’ve been quite broke lately." Vera Wave raised her hand to hold her arm, "Merlin Bradley, this... can you keep it a secret for me, I... I don’t want anyone in the company to know."

"But..." Merlin Bradley slightly frowned, "It’s hard to keep this kind of thing under wraps, once the movie is released, people will surely find out!"

"I’ll use a stage name, nowadays, so many people look the same, who can be sure it’s me?"

"That’s true, these days celebrities have plastic surgery that makes them look like they’re from a factory production line." Merlin Bradley noticed the worry in her eyes and smiled reassuringly, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell, but... you have to help me get Logan Miles’s autograph!"

"Logan Miles’s autograph is no big deal." Vera Wave took out a paper with Kenton Maverick’s signature from her bag, "Here... this is for you!"

Reaching over to take the paper, seeing Kenton Maverick’s signature on it, Merlin Bradley’s fingers started to tremble.

"Is this... the legendary Kenton?"
