CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: HAVE YOU FALLEN FOR MR. THORNE?

Zoe Chandler had never heard of anyone above President Langdon, but she did know that President Langdon hailed from the Langdon Family in Astra City, escaping the family business to single-handedly establish Langdon Entertainment.

In such a large family, there must be many offspring.

She didn’t dwell on whose wife Natalie Vaughn was; she was only concerned about whether this beauty would be willing to make a foray into the entertainment industry.

As they were about to enter the building, Felix Langdon glanced at Zoe Chandler and left a remark.

"If there’s nothing else, follow us upstairs."

And it was precisely this sentence that made Zoe Chandler’s heart surge.

Is it possible that President Langdon intends to pave the way for this beauty?!

Felix Langdon and Natalie Vaughn led the way, Theodore Langdon fell a step behind, and Zoe Chandler stepped forward to tug at Theodore Langdon, whispering.

"This beauty... why exactly is your sister-in-law here today?"

Having long heard that Langdon Entertainment’s ace agent, Zoe Chandler, had a sharp eye, Theodore Langdon was not surprised by her interest in Natalie Vaughn.

"She came to discuss matters concerning me."

Zoe Chandler furrowed her brows, not quite understanding.

Theodore Langdon chuckled slightly, equally at a loss.

Logically, this minor issue could have been casually handed over to someone in the PR department; there’s no need for my sister-in-law to come to the company.

It must be Felix Langdon harboring some thoughts, deliberately choosing a time when Mr. Thorne isn’t around to lure my sister-in-law over.

Theo, though young, has followed Felix Langdon for so long that he can often guess what Felix is thinking.

So, he leaned close to Zoe Chandler’s ear.

"Ms. Chandler, something good might happen today."

After speaking, he straightened up and caught up with the two ahead.

Zoe Chandler’s ears felt hot, and her face heated up too; she raised a hand to touch her burning earlobe.

This Theo kid is way too flippant!

Felix Langdon led Natalie Vaughn into the office, Theodore Langdon followed, and Zoe Chandler wisely waited in the rest area outside.

An entertainment company never lacks gossip.

Soon, several people surrounded Zoe Chandler.

"Ms. Chandler, who’s that beauty? President Langdon personally went downstairs to meet her, is she his girlfriend?"

"How does she look like a girlfriend from this distance, could she be his sister?"

"But President Langdon seems quite respectful towards her, doesn’t look like a sister."

"Is she a new artist about to sign?"

"Judging by that aura, she must be from a distinguished family, why would she come mix in this big dye vat of the entertainment industry?"

"It happens sometimes, doesn’t it? Like Actor Sutton?"

...

Zoe Chandler was also thoroughly confused now, unable to grasp why Felix Langdon asked her to come along, nor did she understand the sentence Theodore Langdon whispered to her.

"Alright, don’t you all have work to do?"

Zoe Chandler holds a high position in Langdon Entertainment, and once she spoke, everyone, though curious, kept their mouths shut.

Inside the office, as soon as Natalie Vaughn entered, she took a look around.

Unlike James Vaughn’s meticulously arranged office, Felix Langdon’s was simple and bright, even featuring a rather casual sofa in the corner.

Natalie Vaughn wasn’t in a hurry to ask about Zane Thorne; she wasn’t foolish, she knew Felix Langdon must have had other reasons for calling her over this time.

And so, before she even finished a glass of milk, several groups of people entered Felix Langdon’s office one after another.

These people didn’t shy away from her or Theo’s presence and reported directly.

Natalie Vaughn initially sat upright, but she didn’t know when she had leaned back against the sofa and propped her legs up, her eyes carrying a trace of amusement as she watched Felix Langdon’s furrowed brows.

After listening for a while, she roughly understood what was happening.

The originally signed female supporting role had suddenly breached the contract, and with the filming already started, they couldn’t find a suitable replacement. This production was a major one, and any delay was burning money.

How could it be such a coincidence that the female supporting role was a heroine in the drama, requiring an actress capable of handling substantial fight scenes?

Natalie Vaughn squinted her eyes.

Who in the entertainment industry had such audacity to so nonchalantly breach a contract with Langdon Entertainment?

After those reporting left, Natalie Vaughn finished her glass of milk as well.

She toyed with her sunglasses, looking at Felix Langdon, who still had his brows furrowed.

"President Langdon, with all the best actors and actresses you have, how come you haven’t learned a bit of their craft?"

The acting was just too poor.

Felix Langdon spread his hands, playing dumb.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Natalie Vaughn’s lips curled into a smirk, she said no more, nor did she look at Felix Langdon, absentmindedly and lazily fiddling with her sunglasses.

In this moment, she did bear a bit of resemblance to Zane Thorne.

Realizing this, Felix Langdon suddenly laughed and went to sit opposite Natalie Vaughn.

He forgot that the Vaughn Family members are very clever.

James Vaughn is well known in the circle for his cunning, and Natalie Vaughn, he had already witnessed her boldness, whether in a bar or at a racing club.

Indeed, a sister brought up by James Vaughn couldn’t possibly be an innocent little bunny.

"Sister-in-law, the filming for the female supporting role isn’t extensive; the shooting schedule is quite concentrated. The difficulty mainly lies in the action scenes. The vases in this circle can’t take hardship, and a lot of effort was put into selecting just this one person for the role; her sudden contract breach really wasn’t intentional, she actually had health issues."

Felix Langdon didn’t explicitly say that, after meeting Natalie Vaughn, he deliberately set things up so that the actress would cross paths with the Fletcher Family’s playboy.

It’s a well-known fact in the circle that the playboy has had numerous actresses undergo abortions for him, as he never takes precautions.

Natalie Vaughn captured all the expressions on Felix Langdon’s face, difficult to discern how much was sincere, but she understood that ever since their first official meeting at the bar, Felix Langdon had consistently wanted her in the entertainment industry.

Starting from Theodore Langdon’s learning karate from her and suggesting making a series of instructional videos.

Natalie Vaughn had always understood Felix Langdon’s intentions.

She didn’t know what her face represented in the entertainment industry, but judging by Felix Langdon’s reaction and her encounter with Zoe Chandler downstairs.

If she were to play around in the industry, it seems she could earn quite a bit.

But such money means little to her, and also not much to Felix Langdon.

So, what exactly was Felix Langdon’s motivation?

Natalie Vaughn pressed her lips together, prompting Felix Langdon to send Theodore Langdon out for milk.

It was clear he wanted to send Theodore Langdon away.

"Sister-in-law."

Felix Langdon smiled slightly, not acting foolishly either.

"You probably didn’t come over just for Theo’s matter; shall we make a deal? Rest assured, you just focus on filming this project, other concerns won’t be your hassle."

Natalie Vaughn raised an eyebrow, she truly enjoyed dealing with smart individuals.

"I want to know the reason for his retirement."

As Natalie Vaughn said this, her eyes clearly reflected Felix Langdon’s image, yet deep within, another person lingered.

Having witnessed the soaring of a falcon, how could one contentedly let it bow down within a cage?

Natalie Vaughn didn’t even know what she was persistently seeking.

But she couldn’t forget the heavy look in Zane Thorne’s deep eyes.

Her curiosity since the beginning would remain forever curious.

Felix Langdon didn’t seem surprised.

His connection with Natalie Vaughn all stemmed from Zane Thorne.

Before answering Natalie Vaughn’s question, Felix Langdon asked.

"Have you fallen for Mr. Thorne?"
