178 CLAWED HER WAY UP (1/2)
Beatrice felt that her little boss was not happy with her as she drove to Illusion Entertainment. Unfortunately, she could not figure out what she had done wrong. In fact, nothing unusual had happened as far as she knew.
She had called Hu Lei after arriving in the apartment complex. After a while, she had become worried, fearing that they would be late for the morning strategy meeting with the cast of The Queen of the Apocalypse. So, she had decided to go up and pick her directly from the house.
Who knew that when Hu Lei opened the door to leave, she would throw a scathing look at her? Beatrice felt immensely wronged. But she did not dare say anything because she was sensing a faint-but-definitely-there killing intent.
How could the poor Beatrice know that she had interrupted a beautiful moment, causing Hu Lei to feel frustration from the depth of her soul?
When they arrived at Illusion Entertainment, Hu Lei stepped out of the vehicle and looked at Beatrice with a grudge-holding face. She huffed and turned away dramatically, walking towards the building entrance.
Beatrice smiled because she could see that Hu Lei was not very mad anymore. She had come to realise that as long as her little boss was not cold and distant, she was not really angry. Her huffing was a sign that there were no hard feelings.
”Does that woman think that she is a queen?” A young woman spoke in a low voice, but the words were heard by the other people in the conference room.
This young woman was not an important person. She was merely a small assistant to the publicity manager in charge of the TQA movie. However, this was enough to make her feel like she was floating over the moon.
After all, how many small assistants could be sitting casually in a room with three major celebrities and other important people?
Her dissatisfaction came from the fact that Hu Lei was the only one who had not shown up to the meeting. Everyone else had already settled down over twenty minutes ago. Moreover, why did she have to come to the promotion events? It was not like anyone knew her.
However, she had not spoken up because of her personal displeasure. Instead, she felt that she was saying what everyone was thinking. Her boss was tapping her manicured fingers on the table in that impatient manner. The cast of the show was showing signs of dissatisfaction, and the air was somewhat awkward since the manager did not want to start without everyone in the room.
”There is no need to be impatient.” Bei Gong Hai said in a gentle voice.
The little assistant felt like the angels had smiled down on her. She had only been speaking casually, almost murmuring to herself. She did not know that the great idol was paying attention. Her annoyance reduced by half.
”Yes, it is no problem waiting a little longer. Perhaps Miss Hu had some urgent matters.” Wang Yue added.
