The person who came was the spokesperson who had just been replaced, and when she received the
legal letter from her agent, she was confused. She had squandered all the money she had earned in
the past few years; how could she afford to compensate Yehuang for this huge amount of money? She
had no choice but to dodge the paparazzi to beg Kerry.
“Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, I didn’t stop her.”
“You go out first, I’ll talk to Miss Zhao.”
Cupping his hands in front of his chest, he indifferently stared at her, who was crying, “Miss Zhao, we
made it clear when we signed the contract and now that you have a scandal, which damages the
interests of our company. It’s reasonable for us to do that.”
“I know it. I’m sorry. It’s indeed my fault, but I really have no money now and I can’t afford to pay…”
“Miss Zhao, you’re an adult and you should take responsibility for what you’ve done. Besides, how can
you let me not to sue you? I can’t find any reason.”
Miss Zhao slowly walked up to him with tears, “Mr. Ye, please. I’ll do whatever you want me to do as
long as you don’t let me to pay that.”
Kerry was disgusted about her acting in this way, “Miss Zhao, I don’t know what you can do.”
“I…” Miss Zhao bit her lower lip, looking at him with tenderness, and said softly, “If Mr. Ye doesn’t mind,
I can be on call.”
On-call?
Kerry sneered, “Miss Zhao, you really think too highly of yourself. Do you know how many women want
to sleep with me? And do you think I’ll be interested in you?”
Miss Zhao blushed. He was humiliating her, but she could only endure.
“I think Miss Zhao has understood what I’ve said. Bye.” Kerry coldly said.
Unexpectedly, she just kneeled down, “Mr. Ye, I apologize for what I’ve said. I’m really desperate now
and the money is impossible for me. How about this? Could you please give me more time and I’ll pay
you back when I get more plays? Is this OK?”
Kerry was indifferent, “Miss Zhao, I think you’ve taken a lot of plays and endorsements over the years,
and your annual income is quite good. Can’t you even take out a paltry four million?”
“I’m making a lot of money, but…but I’ve spent it all on jewelry and clothes…”
“Then sell the jewelry and clothes.”
Miss Zhao didn’t want to sell them, for they were treasures to her. Besides, they couldn’t sell at a good
price.
When they were talking, the door was pushed open, then came Venus’s voice, “What is he doing in
there? Why can’t I get inside?”
Then she looked back and froze. A woman was kneeling next to him, who was Ms. Zhao, dominating
the headlines for these days.
She was behind her desk, so she couldn’t see if the two were talking or doing something else.
“No wonder they won’t let me in. You have a guest.” Venus said with a smile, standing at the door
looking at Kerry.
Kerry got up and came over, “What are you doing here?”
When she saw his clothes were tidy, she relieved, knowing that she was thinking too much, “You don’t
want to see me?”
“Of course not, I’m glad that you come.” Kerry then let Venus and said to the secretary Liu behind him,
“Go to get some coffee, with milk and sugar, but not too much.”
“You actually remembered my taste?” Venus was really surprised by this.
“Of course,” Kerry led her to sit in the chair in front of his desk, “Sit down for a moment.”
“OK.”
Miss Zhao turned her head to look at Venus, full of envy. Because of her work, she had seen Kerry a
few times, but he had never spoken to her or looked at her. She used to think that Kerry didn’t like her,
but in the end, she found out that he treated every woman like this. Today, however, she realized that
she was wrong. He wasn’t cold-talking to everyone and he was giving this woman all his tenderness
and warmth.
“Miss Zhao, you can leave now.” Kerry stood beside Venus, looking down at her, “Remember, everyone
should take responsibility for what they’ve done. I’m a businessman, not a charity. I don’t care whether
you have money or not and what I care about is whether my interests can be protected.”
Perhaps out of a woman’s vanity, Ms. Zhao didn’t want Venus to belittle her. She got up from the
ground and put on her sunglasses, “Mr. Ye, I will pay you back as soon as possible, goodbye.”
Kerry didn’t expect her to be so nice all of a sudden. Then he watched her leave.
“What does she come to you?” Venus was curious.
Kerry spread his hands, “She made a scandal, causing me to lose a lot of money overnight.
Yesterday’s turnover was so low, of course I have to talk to her, but she actually didn’t want to pay me
by using her tears. Is she mad?”
Venus laughed, “She…she looks very arrogant. Why would she do this?”
“Well, who knows. Let’s not talk about her. Why do you come today? Tell me. I know you’re not just
coming to see me.”
“Of course not, that’s why I’m here.” Venus took out her phone to open a webpage, thus showing it to
him, “This competition, I want to participate, but the prerequisite is to participate in the name of the
company, so I can only come to you. MK doesn’t have a clothing business.”
Kerry read it in detail. It was a national competition.
“Yeah, no problem. If you win an award in the competition, it will be good for our company.”
Venus knew he would agree, so she took the phone and got up and said, “Okay, bye, I’ll go first.”
“Where to go?” Kerry pulled her back to circle her into his arms, looking tenderly into her eyes, “Wait for
me. Then we’ll go to dinner, okay?”
“No,” Venus smiled and refused, “I’m going to go look for some inspiration and go to the mall to find the
fabric I want.”
“You sure you don’t want to accompany me?” Kerry tightened his arm.
Venus smiled helplessly, “Hey, aren’t you tired of us being together? We will spend the weekend
together, OK?”
“I want to spend every second with you.” Saying that, Kerry was about to kiss her lips, but Venus
leaned back to avoid his mouth.
“It’s in the office. Let me go, it’s not good for the secretary to come in and see it.”
“Secretary Liu is smart and he won’t come in at this moment.” Kerry caught her and kissed her fiercely
for a while.
Venus flushed, “Is it okay? Stop it, I’m going to the mall now, call me when you get off work and come
pick me up.”
“Well, finish your coffee before you go, okay?”
Venus teased him, “Kerry, be a man. I remember you should be cold, right?”
“I was, but now you changed me.” Kerry let her go, “Hurry up. I’ll see you after work.”
“Good boy. Bye.”
Venus was afraid that he would come to catch her. After saying this, she quickly ran out the door and
made a face at him at the door.
Kerry wished she could always be so happy.
Time passed by and after finishing the last financial statement, it was almost six o’clock.
He rubbed his sore eyes and called Venus, but she didn’t answer it.
Was the mall too noisy?
Kerry went downstairs while keeping calling her, but no one answered.
Kerry texted her in the elevator, “Where are you? I’m off work.”
However, she didn’t reply.
The Cayenne was parked in front of the office. Kerry got into the car and the driver turned back to ask
him, “Mr. Ye, are you going home?”
Kerry looked down at his phone, “Don’t go back yet. Drive around.”
“Okay.”
Kerry dialed the familiar number for the fourth time, but no one answered.
Where did she go? Why didn’t she answer it?
The car wandered aimlessly around the city center, and just happened to meet the rush hour, making
Kerry more and more anxious. His instincts told him that something happened to Venus.
