CHAPTER 924: CHAPTER 924: LITTLE BASTARDS!

After speaking, Justin Xavier stood up. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, lifted his hand to tug at the tie around his neck. Now, the tie was loosely hanging around his neck, with a sense of oppression and authority exuding from him. Every movement was filled with the captivating charm of an elite upper-class man.

Those executives were so frightened they held their breath.

Justin was feeling irritated. The high-pressure work of recent days had painted a hint of tired red in his usually cold and black eyes. Not wanting to look at the people behind him any longer, he took out a cigarette, holding it between his thin lips, lit it up absentmindedly, and began smoking.

At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open, and his private secretary walked in, reporting softly, "President, your WeChat notification sounded."

Justin never took his phone into meetings, handing it over to his private secretary instead.

Justin slipped one hand into his pants pocket, holding the cigarette with one hand. His body was slender and jade-like, and his handsome features were enveloped in the swirling smoke, like a sculpture cut from silver.

"I’m busy." He spoke moodily with his thin lips curving slightly.

"Yes, President." The private secretary, holding the phone, prepared to leave.

"Come back." Justin spoke again at that moment.

The private secretary looked up, seeing Justin holding the cigarette between his thin lips, looking at him and asking, "What did you just say sounded?"

"President, it’s WeChat."

"Oh." Justin responded flatly.

Although the president said he was busy, the private secretary planned a quick retreat.

But the next second, Justin extended his large hand, "Give me the phone."

The private secretary was startled, President, didn’t you say you were busy?

However, the private secretary didn’t dare to say it out loud and hurriedly handed over the phone.

Justin took the phone. On his WeChat, there was only one contact, Leah Thorne.

Sometimes he would scroll through Leah’s Moments to see what she posted, whether it was a beautiful outfit she wore or a gorgeous bag she bought.

Sure enough, it was from Leah, and it was a voice message.

Usually, he didn’t contact her, and she wouldn’t reach out to him first.

He didn’t know what day it was today, not only did she contact him but also sent a voice message.

He hadn’t heard her voice for a long time.

Justin slowly curved his thin lips into a joyful arc.

The executives there, who were even afraid to breathe, were dumbfounded. They stared in shock at their president. Did the president... smile?

Just a moment ago, the president was like a storm, and in the next second, he smiled?

What kind of magic did that WeChat message contain?

It seemed like they were saved.

The executives all secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Justin was eager to hear Leah’s voice, so he reached out a finger and clicked on that voice message.

However, the voice that came wasn’t Leah’s, but... Davina Rowe’s.

Davina was bragging in a sultry voice about how President Xavier was really bad; last night he made her hurt so much, and they didn’t sleep until dawn...

"..." Justin’s handsome face immediately turned cold, his thin lips pressed into a grim line.

The executives, who had just relaxed, immediately sensed the change in their president’s mood. Instantly, they sucked their breath back in, sitting up straight and stiff.

Justin really got angry. He had wanted to hear Leah’s voice to soothe himself, but instead, it was that sultry voice.

He immediately replied with a voice message, rudely shouting, "Bullshit, I was in meetings all night last night!"

After saying this, Justin threw the phone directly at his private secretary, his cold black eyes piercing like arrows at the executive’s heads, "What are you all standing around for, a bunch of bastards without a heart or lungs!"

Justin lifted his leg and kicked over a chair.

The executives who got caught in the crossfire were speechless, "..."

Who exactly was being cursed as a "heartless bastard"?

Step out!

We don’t want to take the blame!

...

Film set.

"Ding," Leah quickly received a reply. She curled her red lips, "Davina Rowe, your President sent a reply. Let’s listen to it together."

Davina’s arrogance shrank because she knew Justin had gone on a business trip, and since the wedding, she hadn’t even seen Justin face to face; she was just talking nonsense earlier.

Her heart was flustered, but she didn’t want to admit defeat, stubbornly saying, "Let’s listen then, Leah. You think I’m afraid of you?"

Leah played the voice message, and Justin’s angry voice immediately played, "Bullshit, I was in meetings all night last night!"

Leah rarely heard Justin curse. Although he had a dark nature in his bones, he usually appeared refined and restrained, gentle and elegant; this was the first time.

Leah raised her eyebrows slightly.

Puh.

Madame Goldie laughed immediately, "Davina Rowe, President Xavier has shown up and slapped you in the face live. Can we get an interview, does your face hurt?"

Davina, slapped in the face, turned pale. Justin’s "bullshit" was clearly directed at her!

That’s why Davina was always a bit afraid of Justin because he was a wild man no one could control.

At this time, Leah approached Davina, "Davina Rowe, don’t mess with me if you can help it. If you cross me, I’ll have to find something for you to do."

"By the way, with your President not around, did you feel empty and lonely, having wild dreams, or did you play with other men into the night and then try to frame it on President Xavier? You need to explain this to your President, or soon there might be a new female lead taking your place."

With that, Leah walked away.

Davina stood there frozen, gritting her teeth, almost spitting blood from anger.

Every time she faced off against Leah, she ended up the one being KO’d.

...

After Leah and Madame Goldie left, Davina’s agent stepped forward, "Forget it, Davina, don’t be angry. Tomorrow is the first audition for ’Ephemeral Life’, and you’ll need to wear a qipao. With your face and body, you will definitely look stunning in a qipao. Contact President Xavier and let him come back to watch your audition. Then you’ll mesmerize him so much he’ll be at your beck and call."

’Ephemeral Life’ is a Republican era drama that requires many qipaos, all heavily invested and handcrafted by embroiderers from The Riverlands, absolutely stunning.

Davina, as the second female lead, would have many qipaos.

Her agent pointed to a room, "Davina, look, this is where the qipaos you’ll be wearing are."

Davina looked through the display window of the room, her eyes lighting up at the sight of so many beautiful qipaos.

Davina was quite confident in her figure and looks. She had been overshadowed by Leah for too long. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to turn things around?

However, recently Justin has been very busy, currently in Port Kael for meetings. Would he be willing to come out, could he come to the set?

No matter the outcome, she must try.

Davina took out her phone, snapped a picture of those beautiful qipaos, and sent it to Justin’s phone, with a message saying, "President Xavier, I’m auditioning in a qipao tomorrow, can you come and watch me?"
