My Mute Bride

Chapter 312 Leroy Bennett

Rachel had lied to Justin back then. Jolly never suffered from depression, nor did she try to cut her wrists for any man. She never told anyone how she got pregnant with Samuel, but when Rachel met her in a foreign country, she had several meals every single day, and she seemed to be in a truly jolly mood.

Then, she aggressively persuaded Rachel to be Samuel’s mother on paper by offering to help her obtain permanent residency in Montenegro.

At that time, Jolly wasn’t ready to be a mother while Rachel had just left Charlotte. Rather than Charlotte needing Rachel, it was the other way round.

The reason Rachel lied to Justin was because she wanted to arouse his sympathy to help her fend off the scoundrel named Ryan.

The next morning, a meeting took place in Hudson Pharmaceuticals.

“The sports drink developed by our R&D Department has been tested and confirmed to be safe. Now, we have to talk about endorsement. Our colleagues from the Advertising Department have selected three potential spokespeople. Please have a look, President Hudson.”

“There’s no need for that.” Rachel waved her hand. “I know nothing about celebrities. Tell the Advertising Department and Marketing Department to have a joint discussion and show me the final proposal.”

Upon hearing that, the director from the Advertising Department immediately picked out one of the proposals. “President Hudson, we’ve had some discussions before, and we all agree that this person is the most suitable candidate.”

“Do all of you share the same sentiment?” Rachel took the proposal and went straight to the endorsement part. Within seconds, the introduction to the potential spokesperson came into her sight. However, what attracted her were the photos attached.

There were photos of the spokesperson swimming half-naked, riding a bicycle in a white shirt, and skateboarding in a t-shirt. Just by looking at his photos, one could feel how young and energetic he was.

“Leroy Bennett?” Rachel uttered his name.

The director from the Advertising Department said, “Yes, he’s the hottest celebrity in recent years. Ever since he debuted in a reality show three years ago, he has remained popular until this day.”

However, Rachel frowned. “Such a young celebrity has a very specific target audience, though. Once his fans lose interest in him, they’ll stop buying the things that he endorses. That’s a risk we’ll have to bear.”

“We have taken that into consideration as well, but the most important thing for us to do now is to popularize this sports drink. Since there’s no problem with the quality, it’ll become reputable in no time.”

“You’re right. In that case, just go ahead with him.”

“Okay.”
