Teddy whispered, "Are the executives at Magi Pictures all this approachable?"
The seniors he met at Nexus Entertainment acted as if they were looking down at others, fully embodying the capitalist attitude.
Cedric heard him but didn''t respond. He briefly showed them around thepany and led them into an office.
"This will be your office from now on."
L was a little surprised. She hadn''t expected them to have a dedicated office.
"You don''t have to be so surprised. The reason you have this result is because you have the ability.
"You''re the first person in the country to train an actor to win the Best Actor award."
L lowered her gaze, not continuing the conversation.
They chatted casually for a while, and then Cedric handed them the contract. "No need to rush into signing. You can have someone review it and bring it back to me tomorrow.
"By the way, feel free to look around thepany. I''ve got other matters to attend to, so I won''t be able to stay with you."
Cedric left after giving a few more instructions.
L and the others worked quickly; by the next morning, they had returned the contract. After all, Kieran wouldn''t try to deceive her.
Thepany also set a time for promotional photos to be taken for Jamie and Teddy.
The official Twitter announcement would probably be made in about a week.
L went to the Nexus Entertainment set in the afternoon to inform Jamie and Teddy about the situation.
As soon as she exited the car, she ran into Darcy and Margaret.
L was dumbfounded.
She didn''t like Darcy, and it was equally challenging to have a favorable opinion of Margaret, who had raised such a daughter.
The ke family originally ran a small business, but it had grown slightly in recent years, thanks to Dorian''s support-though only inparison to its previous scale.
But Margaret thought of herself as a high-ssdy, a noblewoman who was at least one rank higher than L.
In reality, the ke family didn''t even qualify for a typical business gathering in Northridge. Most of the high-society people had never even heard of Margaret.
Both of them noticed her, and for the first time, Darcy didn''t go for her usual exaggerated look. Instead, she had adopted the pure, innocent style that Zara often wore.
But as soon as she saw L, her true nature surfaced.
She looked like a vicious dog eyeing a bone, wanting to tear her apart right there. Her innocent outfit shed terribly with her malicious re.
L frowned and nced at them. When she had been with Dorian in the past, even though she didn''t like them, she would still maintain basic politeness.
Now, Dorian was nothing more than a repulsion to her, let alone these two. She had no desire to even acknowledge them.
She quickly nced away and walked straight into the set.
"L!" Margaret''s tone was displeased. "Is this how you treat your elders?"
L paused and turned to look at her, feeling utterly bewildered.
It was the first time Margaret had seen her like that, and her displeasure deepened. "L, haven''t you figured out your ce yet? For someone like you, you''re lucky to catch Dorian''s eye.
"If Dorian were my biological son, I would never allow someone of your low status to step foot into our family.
"I hear from Darcy that you''ve been causing a scely. What exactly are you trying to do? You should be grateful that Dorian even looks at you, yet here you are, causing him so much trouble.
"You even made it so Darcy couldn''t join the Northridge Opera House. If you keep this attitude, no matter what you say, I won''t allow you into our house."
L couldn''t help butugh. "Mrs. ke, don''t you find yourself contradictory? On one hand, you say Dorian isn''t your biological son, yet you think you can control who he marries.
"What gives you the right to meddle? Do you really think Dorian will listen to you?
"Also, you keep saying I''m of low status. May I ask, what prestigious family do youe from? As far as I remember, Northridge''s elite women''s gatherings have never invited you."
Margaret was hit where it hurt. Her face turned ashen, and her long nails nearly snapped from the force of her grip.
