My Bossy CEO Husband

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Eris had just barely escaped from the reporters who were out for her blood when she received a call from her agent, Kate.

She was sitting inside her fancy sports car at the time, but no luxury could keep her fingers from trembling as she answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Kate's angry voice came over the line.

"Eris! Tara has seen the press conference.What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know how badly this is going to affect us?"

"Kate..."

"Cut the crap already and just listen! Tara wants you to come to the company immediately!"

Kate then ended the call without even waiting for a response, Eris could only stare at her phone in horror, and she stayed that way for several minutes.

Her face filled with malice.Her parents were about to be put to jail.Her reputation was ruined.She had never imagined herself to be in such a disreputable position as she was currently in.

Never! Eris gripped her phone tighter, almost crushing it in her anger.

But she quickly collected herself and revved up her engine.She still had matters to deal with.

Twenty minutes later In Starlight Media When Eris arrived, her colleagues and several other celebrities were huddled in groups.

They muttered among themselves, eyeing Eris and pointing at her as she walked by.

"What do you think you're looking at?"

Eris snapped at them through gritted teeth.

Being the most successful star of the company, coupled with the influence of her rich and powerful boyfriend, Eris always looked down on everyone else It was precisely because of this that most of the female celebrities in the company loathed her.

"Humph! You're still acting cocky after all that you did? Do you honestly think you're still number one around here? What a joke! You only seem nice on the surface, but you're a vicious snake through and through! No matter how good your disguise was, your ugly personality still came out in the end!"

"How true! To think that she had the gall to play the victim after stealing her sister's boyfriend...What a load of bullshit! She's such a disgusting woman!"

"If I were in her shoes, my conscience would never allow me to go out.What is she even doing here? Shame on her!"

Eris stopped her pace and glared at them.

They weren't even trying to lower their voices! Her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

"Oh, no.We have to leave quickly, girls! We can't piss Eris off.If something bad happens now, she might manipulate things to put the blame on us."

"Yes, yes, you're right.She is good at playing the victim, after all.Come on, let's get out of here."

"Let's go!"

The girls scurried off, but not before sneering at Eris one last time.She cussed to herself.
