Chapter 106 Letting him know (1/2)
The very instant Lexi uttered her words, an abrupt squeak was heard as Abigail Fan stepped on the break and coming to a full halt. Fortunately, Lexi was secured by the seatbelt and only made her suddenly leaned forward before being pushed back again.
She automatically blocked Churu from falling before casting a deadly glare to the driver's seat.
”Are you trying to kill me?!” Lexi growled, agitated on the abrupt maneuvering interruption that happened. What displeased her the most is the fact that Churu almost fell from her lap and if it wasn't for her fast reflexes, the poor dumpling would roll to the car's footrest.
”Sorry sorry -- I was just too shocked about what you said!” Realizing his hasty action, Abigail Fan apologized but she slightly raised as she explained the cause behind it. She never expected that suggestion from her as Lexi must have known that she already tried before, but to no avail, establishing an agency in this industry was easier said than done.
Moreover, who's the artist would she manage? Lexi? She hasn't even confirmed if she would acknowledge her as her manager despite agreeing to this arrangement. After all, they didn't have a signed contract and this could be considered as the leats favor to return the unconventional help Lexi had done in the past.
After a heavy sighed, Abigail Fan resumed on driving as she uttered, ”I'm sorry, I just, you know… had always been my plan but with the current pretense between me and VM entertainment, I don't think I could possibly do that. I am just glad that this role may be your key to redeem your reputation back.”
”Apology accepted but, don't ever do that again. Also, send me a contract -- my contract with VM would end anyway.” After calmly hearing Abigail Fan's sincere words, Lexi offered. It might be such audacity of her to say such words as Lexi's career seemed hopeless. However, from a businessman's perspective, Lexi was confident with Abigail Fan's capabilities. After all, she wouldn't remain as her one and only manager if she didn't have the knack for it. Hence, to Lexi, it was a good investment to put her forthcoming income from the movie.
Furthermore, the movie was already a guaranteed hit. Therefore, it wasn't questionable why Che Diayu could only bribe the side character role as it was said that Chang'e's role would be an iconic one that would shine on its own aside from the main leads… which on the second thought gave Lexi a realization -- this role reminds her of Churu.
Upon hearing her benevolent offer, Abigail Fan heedlessly stepped on the brake once again causing the same occurrence earlier. This time, Lexi's eyes widened in disbelief as she just forgave Abigail and she repeated it again! Rendered speechless by what to feel, Lexi slowly turned her head to Abigail Fan's direction.
That very instant when Abigail Fan realized what she had done again, her complexion paled and panic gradually displayed on her face as she clumsily reasoned out. ”I -- I'm sorry but I just -- I was just too shocked from your offer!”
Seeing how Lexi wordlessly sharpened her eyes, Abigail Fan's heart was immediately engulfed with dread. This time, her brainless action must change Lexi's mind as she already told her not to do it again. Abigail Fan didn't notice Lexi's hand that was assisting invisible creature on her lap.
”You… Just what are you thinking?!” Growling in dismay, Lexi grinded her teeth as this was the second offense. To think that she just showed her mercy, she actually did it at the same time! This is her second chance in life for god sake and she doesn't want to lose it because of Abigail Fan's recklessness!
