He replied again, [It''s ChatGPT, not Booty Call.]
Ugh, if you don''t have it, just say so.
She was about to try goading him.
Suddenly, a text from an unknown number popped up on her phone.
[Are you in Harborview City?]
She didn''t recognize the number and was wondering who it could be when another message arrived.
[It''s Felix Quigley.]
All of ire''s interest vanished. She immediately gave him the full block-and-delete treatment.
Why was he suddenly rising from the dead?
So creepy.
ire shut off her phone and went to sleep.
The charity g was arge-scale event, with many entrepreneurs and famous celebrities invited.
ire''s decision to attend had beenst-minute, so Noreen arranged for her to walk the red carpet with her and Wilbur.
The event was being managed by Centribo''s public rtions manager, a woman named Raina.
She had extensive experience, having previously organized simr events under Mrs. Joyner.
As Noreen and ire were selecting their jewelry, Raina knocked and entered. "An actress is refusing to ept her assigned spot on the red carpet and is demanding a change, but her status doesn''t quite justify it."
ire asked curiously, "What''s her name?"
"Madeline Lynwood."
Tsk.
It really was a small world.
Raina''s original intention was to continue negotiating with Madeline''s team to maintain the original order.
She hade to Noreen because the person backing Madeline was from the Quigley family of Northcrest.
Therefore, she didn''t dare make a final decision without consulting Noreen first. To her surprise, Noreen listened and then said calmly, "Revoke her invitation." Raina thought she had misheard.
Noreen continued, "Add her to the cklist. We will never work with her again." Raina didn''t ask why.
After all, Noreen must have her reasons for such a decisive move.
And knowing Noreen''s character, it was certain that this Madeline had done something to deserve it.
When Madeline''s team received the organizer''s response, she exploded with rage.
She threw a massive tantrum in her hotel room.
"How can they just cancel it like that? I worked so hard to get this opportunity! It''s all your fault, you''re ipetent!" she shrieked, pointing a finger at her agent''s nose.
Her agent, Genesis, felt wronged. "Do you think they found out you''ve been soft- banned from the maind entertainment industry?"
Madeline''s face twisted in denial. "Impossible! This is Harborview City. Noreen doesn''t have that kind of reach here!"
"Maybe you should call Mr. Quigley," Genesis suggested. "The press

Madeline had no choice but to call Felix. Her furious demeanor instantly melted away, her voice bing soft and gentle. "Felix, I''ve run into a little problem. When you head g, could you possibly take me with you?"

After getting Felix''s affirmative answer, Madeline''s eyes curved into a smile. "I''ll wait for you at the hotel, then."
After hanging up, Madeline urgently
called to Genesis, "Contact that paparazzo we work with. Have him wait outside the hotel. When Felixes to pick me up, tell him to take a lot of pictures. Make sure you let me know where he''s positioned so I can give him a good angle of my face."
Genesis immediately rushed to do as she was told.
When Felix arrived, Madeline was already waiting by the entrance.
He didn''t get out of the car, expecting her to get in herself.
Madeline walked over with a smile, but just as she neared the car, she suddenly "twisted" her ankle.
Only then did Felix get out to help her. "Are you alright?"
"My heels are too high," Madeline pouted.
She grabbed Felix''s arm to try and stand, but cried out in pain and stumbled again.
Felix simply scooped her up and carried her to the car.
During this time, Madeline deliberately nced in the direction of the hidden photographer, giving him ample time to take his shots.
