Chapter 111 To be at the top (1/2)
Abigail Fan was rendered speechless as she attentively listened to Lexi's continues storytelling. She felt honored that Lexi shared this sensitive topic with her, and touched at the same time.
In retrospect, Lexi had always this huge invisible wall around her that no matter how Abigail Fan showed her loyalty -- she won't ever gonna see it. However, right now, Abigail Fan felt the vast distance between them gradually lessened. Hence, she believed that Lexi's realization wasn't a play pretend but sincere.
Pursing her lips, Abigail Fan looked down on her fist that was placed on her lap as tears started to form on the corner of her upturned eyes. Is this how Lexi care? Abigail had mixed emotions for some unknown reason. It's as if the previous image she had with Lexi slowly shattered and only this understanding yet slightly changed woman were left.
The words 'if I think you can, you should as well' were enough to tug Abigail's heart knowing that someone believed in her, but hearing further appreciation from Lexi, of all people, was beyond touching. God knows that ever since Lexi's career went downhill -- Abigail as a manager also had rough days afterward.
She had been feeling awful and depressed at the same time and the last person she expected to understand and unintentionally cheered her up without question was this Diva. Therefore, how could she not be moved by it?
Looking up, Abigail Fan bit her trembling lower lip as her eyes were welling up, ”Sister Lexi --”
If only she could pounce on her while sobbing her overwhelmed heart, Abigail Fan would. However, she didn't dare as she still had the slight consciousness of the do's and don't's in interacting with this overly-sensitive person.
On the other hand, Lexi rolled her eyes as she slightly shook her head with a brief chuckle. She could not believe the reaction that was plastered across her manager's face as Abigail Fan retrained her snots and her obvious sobs but miserably failed; it was hilarious.
”Well, fast forward, whether you think you'll do well or not -- I think you will. After all, VM entertainment wouldn't suppress you if you didn't pose a threat to them.” Placing her elbow on the chair's armrest while propping her jaw, Lexi smirked. She added,
”Aim to be on the top so, no one could bully you.”
When Abigail Fan got a hold of herself, they discussed the matters further without any heartwarming words as Lexi went into a full business mode. Seeing her like this, Abigail Fan was in awe. She almost forgot that Lexi came from a business family because the time she spent with her -- Lexi's head was full of 'how to bully Mia Chen' and 'getting Morris Liu's heart back' that cloaked her brilliance in this aspect.
”In the meantime, while I am preparing for my upcoming movie, contact all your resources and poach for potential starlets that could make it to stardom.” Lexi's last remark made Abigail Fan's brows knit in confusion.
”Umm, Lexi? Are you not going to pursue your acting career? Shouldn't we suppose to stabilized your reputation and secure projects for you?” Initially, Abigail planned to clear the ambiguous scandals circulating about Lexi, hence, she thought she must gather evidence that could prove Lexi's innocence.
