Chapter 1534 The Past
Eva reached the door of her room and swiped her door card to go in. She decided to take a shower first. That was when her phone rang. She glanced at the number, and her heart tensed slightly. “Hello.” “Back at the hotel?”
“Yes.” “Come to my room.” “Louie, it’s still afternoon. I want to take a rest,” Eva said unhappily. She didn’t want herself to be a cheap commodity that Louie could summon at will.
After that night, she would be away from the company and his people. “We have to discuss the termination of the contract, which involves your subsequent share of the post-collection.” The man spoke in a low voice.
Eva choked for a moment. Did I overreact? And so, she answered, “I’ll come right after I shower.”
The shooting earlier made her sweaty and uncomfortable at the moment. Eva then went to the bathroom, took a shower, and blow-dried her long hair as she took a dress from her closet to change into it before she went out.
With her phone in hand, she went over to ring the doorbell of the next room. The door opened from the inside and revealed Louie, who was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of black pants as if he had rushed over from an important meeting.
At that moment, how he looked at Eva made him exude an aura of refined scum. Eva also felt his masculine aura on his body, as if he was a hungry wolf, so she involuntarily flushed under his gaze.
“Come on in; I’m still working.” After speaking, Louie returned to the sofa and leaned down to continue working on his computer. His slender fingers were tapping away as he typed out the document.
Eva sat across from him as her gaze involuntarily shot toward the man. In the past two years, she had been avoiding him. Soon after, the aura on the man was getting stronger, and he exuded the calmness of an iron fist and dictatorship.
At the same time, there was no denying that he was even more fascinating right now. Eva remembered that when she first met him, she had just gotten out of a small entertainment company and had joined another company. After three months, a merger crisis occurred in the company.
However, Stardom Corporation bought the small company she was working for. A week later, all the artists went to a meeting at the corporation. Eva went ahead and saw the young man who walked up to the podium of the meeting.
For the first time, Eva knew that the president of the Stardom Corporation was so young. At that time, all the female artists on the stage were in love with him, and the atmosphere was filled with adoration. Even Eva, who had a boyfriend, had to admit that the moment Louie’s gaze fell on her from the stage, her heart fluttered.
Later, she met him again while arranging a job. She bumped into him in a corner of a corridor. She also heard that many artists tried some tricks to seduce and approach him, but he gave them the cold shoulder and didn’t give any of them to take advantage of him.
Her manager had nagged all day long for her to get closer to the president to get more resources. At a drinking party, the manager deliberately asked her to go over. At the table, Eva saw Louie again.
Louie was so young, but everyone toasted him and paid him compliments. At that time, Eva nervously toasted him as well. She still remembered his deep passionate gaze staring at her for a while.
It made her heart flutter. Finally, after everyone had left, Louie said he would send her home. Eva was flattered beyond belief.
After he sent her home that night, Eva saw him many times in the company. A year later, he confessed his love to her, and she told him she had a boyfriend whom she was dating seriously.
That year, she was twenty-one, and he was twenty-seven.
Although Eva rejected his advances, she still saw him on occasion. Louie drank on her behalf and protected her from the investors’ unspoken rules. He protected her in the biz to keep her from all harm. However, he didn’t leave her life either, or even…
