Dana feels like her knees be weak, hearing how lovely he calls her name. "Ye-Yes..."

She tried hard to hide her feelings from him. She didn’t want Leo to know what was on her mind at that moment. She liked him but never dared say it, afraid he would fire her.

"Perfect!" Leo smiled when he saw that Dana was no longer tense but looked as calm as usual. "Dana, if you’re ufortable answering, you don’t need to. Why are your parents suddenly asking you toe back?"

Leo was curious to know what happened in her family.

Dana clenched her fists tightly. She felt too embarrassed to mention the matter. But, seeing his curious gaze, her mouth betrayed her.

"My father called. He said my mother was hospitalized, but when I asked my little brother, he said… no. Mom is fine. But—" she pauses, lowering her head, unable to meet his gaze.

"But what!?" Leo couldn’t help but ask when he saw her seem reluctant to continue.

"My father actually called me home to let me meet my future husband. I mean, my father set me up for an arranged marriage—" she said, unable to continue, feeling embarrassed to tell him this.

Leo was surprised to hear that but immediately adjusted his surprise with a calm expression. He said, "I see. Alright, you can go now. If you need my help, don’t hesitate to contact me. I will try my best to help..."

"Thank you very much, Leo. I appreciate it." Dana couldn’t stay there any longer; she felt embarrassed and hurt because Leo wasn’t angry when he heard about her forced marriage. She excused herself and left in a hurry.

Several seconds passed since Dana closed the door. However, Leo had not yet moved from his seat. His eyes still stared at the tightly shut door, and he felt something that he had never felt when it came to anything Dana said.

"Wait…Why do I suddenly feel annoyed? Is it about what Dana just said? I get annoyed hearing she was engaged!?"

The corners of his lips lifted slightly into a sour smile, hearing his own absurd-sounding thoughts.

"Damn! How could she stir my heart like this? Impossible!"

Leoughed as he stood up and headed to his desk to finish his work.

He started preparing some documents to bring to the intense meeting to discuss matters regarding Ster Entertainment with their legal department and the newly appointed CEO of Ster Entertainment.

News about Ster Entertainment is no longer trending on the inte. It has been reced by news about Laura Kiels, which is now in the top ten on almost all news channels.

A famous gossip website, , has just released news about Laura Kiels’s terrible and immature attitude in an exclusive nightclub. Also, a series of photos and videos of her obviously angry and very condescending at a server in a high-ss restaurant have made Laura Kiels the target of A-Netz.

What was most surprising was how quickly the police handled this case. In just a few days, several articles circted reporting that several buzzers, who had ndered and published multiple hoaxes about Ster Entertainment, had begun to be arrested.

The arrest news worried some A-Netz. They are now more careful about sharing hoax news and nderments regarding Ster Entertainment.

...

Be and Leo’s meeting with the legal team and the new CEO didn’t take long.

They only discussed the legal process for people who defamed thepany and the legal stance they would take towards these individuals.

Be wanted their team and the rtedw enforcement officials on the case to have enoughpelling evidence before the perpetrators were prosecuted under the applicablew. She didn’t want the public to view Ster Entertainment as an arrogantpany.

Still, she also didn’t like the vile people to see it as an easy target for ndering. In the meeting, Be also underlined that thepany would not need any apology from Laura Kiels and her people. She needed to teach these wicked people not to use their fingers before their brains.

Apart from that, they also discussed Ster Entertainment’s big ns for the future. They will focus on producing dramas and films in the future. Managing actresses and actors is no longer their top priority.

After the meeting was over, Be went straight to her office. She needed to call Tristan. He had been texting her a lot during the meeting.

[Be] I’m done. Can I call you now?

She texted Tristan while walking toward her office. However, an iing video call appeared on her phone before she could reach it.

After cing her cell phone on the cell phone stand on the table, she immediately received the video call.

Be saw Tristan sitting in his office. His charming face, as usual, made Be feel her heartbeat quicken.

"Hi, Tristan... I’m sorry I waste replying to your text. I just finished my meeting," said Be as soon as the video was connected.

"It looks like my beautiful wife forgot about her husband while in her office, huh...!?"

Tristan shrugged with a sad expression, causing Be to silently gulp when she remembered she had forgotten something important—calling him by his name.

Gosh!

"Have I? Oh…Sorry...hubby, I..uh..never been in this position…often," Be immediately corrected her words while scolding herself in her heart. "You seem so rxed in the office. No meetings?" she asked, trying to distract him.

Tristan smiled happily before responding to her question.

"I just finished my meeting. After lunch, I will be heading to another one. How about you?"

"I do have a meeting after lunch, but only an online one with Jack and an internal one with Leo." She must discuss Stefan’s arrangement with Leo and call Jack to report her progress.

"Okay, you have to get your lunch now. It’s already thirty minutes past lunchtime. I also have to get ready to leave..."

Be automatically nods. Then she’s asking him, "How about your lunch?"
