Chapter 69 - Sixty-nine : Niklaus Is In Deep Shit (2/2)

Annabelle bit down on her lips ” Can I go visit Aunt Maya , I haven't gone to her place since she fell sick ”

”Sure ” He agreed without hesitation ”Anything for my pumpkin ” dropping a peck on her forehead, he let her down.

”I love you daddy ” She stood on her heels and took him by surprise by also dropping a kiss on the side of his cheek

Annabelle then ran out of his office while waving and shouting ”See you later ” without looking back.

Eden snorted , was she that in a hurry to go see Maya? ” Hmm, Maya ” murmured Eden, leaning back into his seat and clasped his hands behind his head.

Suddenly the door to his office opened and his secretary came in with a report in his hand.

”I'm done compensating all the actresses

affected by Sir Nik's firing spree and they've agreed not to bring up a scandal ” his secretary briefed him and placed the report on his desk.

Eden took the report and glanced through it before dropping it back on his desk , satisfied. Though this subdivision of the company was given to him to manage, Nik still had an influencing power as the president and caused quite a ruckus that almost cost him half his A-list artistes.

”And the role? ” He asked his secretary who stood as stiff as a board

”The female lead role is still open as of the moment we speak as Sir Nik wanted ” The secretary explained and Eden listened with rapt attention, resting his jaw on his knuckles

”But I sincerely hope that whoever he chooses matches Issac's taste else we might stand a chance of losing - ”

”*The emperor is not worried, but the eunuch is worried to death.” Eden interjected and looked up at him

”This one is on Niklaus , moreover even the almighty Isaac wouldn't dare to cross him so don't fret about it ” Eden told the secretary who released a deep sigh of relief.

Isaac was one of the world famous casting director and known for his incredibly difficult-to-please personality and he was in charge of the casting for this particular movie that hasn't even be shot but was already making waves in the internet.

”And this ” The secretary added and removed an A4 paper from his leather document holder and placed it on Eden's desk

” What's this? ” Eden asked, his face scrunched up as he went through it.

” That's Maya's personal background information ”

Eden raised a brow and waved the paper ” And what am I supposed to do with it? I already know everything about her ”

”Well, that's the problem ” Liam, the secretary and Eden's shadow guard answered before dropping a pile of pictures on Eden's desk.

Eden picked up the picture in curiosity but his eyes widened the moment he recognized the figure in the picture. Then he began to laugh, a long, hard, hysterical laughter.

”If this is what I'm thinking , then it means Niklaus is in deep shit”
