The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 477

Alex was stunned. From the way Zendaya and himself had met eyes earlier, it was clear that she had been waiting for him. She couldn’t help frowning subtly at the appearance of the young man, but she still put on a smile and said, “Don’t misunderstand, Alan. This is my friend.” The young man named Alan pursed his lips with a disdainful glint in his eyes. He said, “Zendaya, today is an important time for us to duet our performance. Some unimportant individuals shouldn’t just come over and bother you, right? Get him to leave first!” Alan was almost 5.74 feet tall, and his appearance was quite charming and handsome. Alex could tell that Alan had an unusual sort of feelings toward Zendaya, given how different his gaze was when he looked at her. There was nothing wrong with handsome men who loved beautiful women. The main point here was that Alex was over 5.9 feet tall, his facial features and skin quality were far superior than his. Especially, Alex had a peculiar temperament on his body. Even Alan was ashamed and felt inferior when he saw this. Therefore, a sense of hostility surged inside Alan’s heart. “Alan, Alex Rockefeller is a very important friend of mine. It’s even more important than this concert,” Zendaya said. The moment Alan heard that, his expression became even more unhappy. “He’s not your boyfriend, right?” Zendaya blushed slightly. “Of course not. Mr. Alex is already married.” Poof! When Alan heard that Alex was married, the hostility that just emerged earlier dissipated a lot. He said, “In that case, then let him in!” Then, he turned around and said to Alex, “You’re very lucky to be able to hear the duet between me and Zendaya.” Alex had not spoken a word from start to end. The expression on his face was also indifferent and calm. Zendaya finally introduced Alan at this moment. “Let me introduce you, Alex. This is a piano master from Hong Kong, you may call him Alan! Alan is very knowledgeable in the piano. Last time, my concert had a problem because my companion abandoned it halfway. To make up for it this time, I specifically invited Alan to come over and help out.” Alex nodded, replying lightly toward Alan, “Nice to meet you.” Alan harrumphed arrogantly with a hum. At this moment, Zendaya’s manager, Bunty, walked out of the villa. When she saw Alan, her big body immediately moved forward to give Alan a warm hug. “Oh, Alan, it’s been so long! I’m so glad to see you.” Alex saw Alan almost wobbled unsteadily, getting pushed to the ground by Bunty. During that moment, Zendaya sent him an apologetic look. Once they entered the villa, Bunty went to prepare tea. “Is there something urgent, for you to look for me in such a hurry? What is this? It can’t be that you’re returning the gift, right?” Zendaya asked Alex. Alan looked at the bag that Alex was holding with a bored look on his face. “What are these? Lush Cosmetics? What a tacky name. They can’t be cosmetics, right?” Alex nodded. “They can be considered to be cosmetics!” Alan shook his head contemptuously. “Then you’ve got it wrong. Zendaya never uses any random cosmetics. Her cosmetics are all from Hong Kong’s Arles Cosmetics.” There was a slightly surprised look on Zendaya’s face. Never did she expect that Alex would bring her a set of cosmetics as gifts. However, Alex shook his head. “They are not actually gifts. I just came to let Miss Zendaya have a try. These are new products that our company has just launched in the market. There are only two types currently, one is an anti-freckle cream, and the other is an anti-aging cream. I just want to ask if Miss Zendaya would be willing to endorse our company’s products.” Before Zendaya could respond, Bunty, who had come over with tea, shook her head immediately. “No, no, no. Our Zendaya won’t accept endorsements of products like this, unless they are for well-known international brands. Otherwise, it would just bring down her reputation. Once your products have quality problems, the consequences would just get worse.” There was one more bigger issue that Bunty didn’t say. Zendaya’s endorsement fee was extremely high, but Alex had saved her life. When the time came, she might not accept any money from him. Why would they pick up this kind of endorsement in the first place? Alex didn’t have a chance to follow up with what she had just said. “Bunty, Mr. Alex is an expert in medicine and a skilled doctor in traditional medicine. The products that his company launched shouldn’t have such quality problems,” Zendaya said. Bunty replied, “Who could guarantee this kind of thing? Anyway, I don’t agree.”
