CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 260 I CAME TO SHOW OFF LOVE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND (3 MORE UPDATES)_2

After entering the elevator with only three people left, Evie Larkin asked Nolan Moore somewhat puzzled: "Didn’t we say before coming that we must use Amelia Wood?

Why did you compromise in the end?

This isn’t like your style at all."

Nolan Moore hugged his arms and turned his head to look at Evie Larkin: "Do you really think that Amelia Wood’s image and temperament suit our product?"

Evie Larkin was confused: "Then why did you insist on using her?"

"It was just a temporary measure.

I never intended to use Amelia Wood from the start.

Our product is meant for mature women.

Amelia Wood is too young and can’t embody that presence.

Moreover, our cosmetics have always been endorsed by Layla Merrick, and indeed she is the best choice.

But after we got the advertising proposal, I found that Layla Merrick’s endorsement fee had risen by four hundred thousand.

What I hate the most is celebrities jacking up their prices on the spot.

So I had to oppose her endorsement to bargain, otherwise, how could we lower the price?"

Evie Larkin suddenly realized: "Is this your tactic? Just to haggle the price?

What if Layla Merrick doesn’t fall for it?"

"She must swallow this mute loss.

She has already endorsed many of our products.

If we suddenly replace her with a newcomer,

she would definitely feel threatened.

The competition for advertisement endorsements among celebrities is fierce.

Many media will suggest she’s no longer popular by headlining with news about Amelia Wood stealing her endorsement.

That would elevate Amelia Wood.

Tell me, why would she give up the opportunity and boost someone else?

Moreover, if she really gives up on this endorsement,

when the contracts for our other products expire next year, we will definitely not use her again.

That would be a significant loss for her.

Unless she’s a fool, she’ll have to compromise."

Jane Quinlan stood behind Nolan Moore, thinking for the first time that this guy was perfect rogue business material.

His schemes didn’t leave others a way out.

The three of them exited the elevator together, and Nolan Moore asked Evie Larkin.

"What do you feel like eating? I’ll take you."

Evie Larkin thought for a moment before asking Jane Quinlan: "I can’t think of anything I want to eat right now.

Jane, do you have any cravings?"

"Forget about her, we’ll go eat by ourselves."

Nolan Moore didn’t even glance at Jane Quinlan.

Evie Larkin didn’t expect Nolan Moore to so bluntly refuse to take Jane Quinlan along.

She felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.

Poor Jane Quinlan.

But before she could say anything, Nolan Moore added: "Right, Evie, how about I take you to Wangfujing for Peking duck?"

Evie Larkin felt uncomfortable looking at Jane Quinlan and didn’t respond to Nolan Moore.

Jane Quinlan shrugged and smiled: "Miss Larkin, go ahead and eat.

I’m here in Beijing for the first time. I want to go explore on my own.

I heard Rear Lake is really bustling, I’m planning to join the crowd there."

Although she was excluded, she had to show she was above it, to outclass Nolan, the scum.

"Hear that? She did her research before coming and doesn’t need us to accompany her," Nolan Moore said with a tinge of sourness in his voice.

"No need to look up recommendations, in this big Eldoria, who doesn’t know Rear Lake in Beijing is famous?"

"I didn’t know," Nolan Moore seemed to tease her on purpose.

"Of course, you wouldn’t know, would you? You’re not an ordinary person. You’re practically half a foreigner, raised on ’foreign ink.’ How could you understand?

Us ordinary folks can’t compare to you; we don’t stand a chance," Jane Quinlan said sarcastically.

Nolan Moore was gnashing his teeth in hatred for her.

He just realized she had quite a skill for sharp retorts.

Evie Larkin shook her head and smiled, suddenly finding their way of talking like a couple bickering.

Three people left the building of the advertising company together.

They had barely stepped through the doorway when all three were simultaneously startled by the sight of Kay Forrest waiting outside.

Evie Larkin bit her lip, her eyes misting over the moment she saw Kay Forrest.

She had no idea why Kay Forrest was there.

Could it be that he came for her?

But he clearly disliked her so much.

No, that’s not it; perhaps deep down Kay Forrest still cared for her.

Otherwise, why would he hate her so passionately?

All she knew was that the depth of hate reflects the depth of love.

Nolan Moore glanced sideward at Evie Larkin, his eyebrows knitting together upon seeing her pitiful demeanor.

Kay Forrest’s appearance must have stirred up turmoil in Evie Larkin’s heart.

This bastard even followed her to Beijing; has he lost his mind?

Jane Quinlan looked at him, her mind spinning in confusion.

What on earth was happening? Was she dreaming?

Why did her Kay Forrest appear in Beijing all of a sudden as if by magic?

Her brain capacity was limited; so his phone was off because he was on a plane?

Was this supposed to be a surprise?

So romantic that she felt moved to tears.

"Kay Forrest, what are you doing here?"

Nolan Moore stepped forward, as if preventing something from happening.

Kay Forrest looked wickedly at Nolan Moore: "What’s with you, does Beijing belong to you? You’re allowed here but I’m not?"

Jane Quinlan was itching to step forward and claim him; she was nearly left to eat alone by Nolan Moore’s disdain just a moment ago.

She was worrying about whether she really had to go to Rear Lake alone when he showed up.

It felt like he was her savior.

But with Evie Larkin there, she dared not to overstep.

Because it had already been said that their relationship had to stay hidden.

"Kay Forrest, don’t mess around." Nolan Moore walked up to Kay Forrest and spoke quietly, his eyes cold as if warning him.

Kay Forrest scoffed, whispering low enough for only the two of them to hear: "Threatening me, huh?

Scared me to death, really.

Don’t you know I have a rebellious streak?

If you were afraid, what took you so long? If you hadn’t treated Jane Quinlan like that in front of that woman, I could have let these things slide.

But now... heh, aren’t you asking for it?

The woman of Kay Forrest, you think you can just insult and bully her without repercussions?"

With that, he patted Moore’s shoulder: "Nolan Moore, hasn’t anyone ever told you?

You look so ugly when you’re mad.

People, you see, should smile more.

You asked me why I came here, right?

I’ll tell you, I’m here to show off my love with my girlfriend."

He made these remarks with a loud voice.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three present became somewhat unnatural.

Jane Quinlan looked towards Kay Forrest, her eyes filled with emotion.

That’s definitely her boyfriend; he came to stand up for her, didn’t he?

And Evie Larkin too was stunned in her spot.

He was here to look for his girlfriend?

His girlfriend was in Beijing?

No, that can’t be.

She understood Kay Forrest.

Given Kay Forrest’s personality, if his girlfriend were in Beijing, he wouldn’t have gone back to work in Anchester.

Thinking this through, there was only one possibility... his girlfriend was here.

With this realization, she looked up at Kay Forrest again.

In that moment, her heart contracted with a sudden tightness.
