Chapter 24

Genevieve was someone who loved passionately, yet she was equally as decisive in severing ties with those she

hated.

After sorting through her emotions and dutifully delivering items to the hospital, she drove to Eagle Entertainment.

As she stepped out of her car, Genevieve immediately spotted George at the entrance, wearing a weary expression in an unmistakable green floral pants and a disheveled yellow shirt. The security guard stationed at the door confronted him, skillfully restraining George’s threatening gestures and intercepting his harsh words.

Lacking the touch of lipstick, George compensated with a thick layer of foundation that cast an unnaturally pale complexion on him Defiantly, he stood with hands on his waist, hurling curses at the security guard, his voice sharp and reminiscent of a strangled duck. He yelled, ‘I’ve been gone for less than a day. How dare you guys stop me? Believe it or not, I’ll fire you all and let you go begging on the street!”

The security guard, unfazed, responded with indifference, “Kindly present your employee ID. Entrance without proper authorization is not granted to non–employees.”

Fuming with anger, George paced back and forth, berating the security personnel through gritted teeth. “You’re all just watchdogs How dare you offend me? I’m…” he said.

Before he could finish his words, the security guard stood with a respectful demeanor and nodded toward the approaching figure behind him.

“Ms. Lawrence, the security guard greeted.

Genevieve acknowledged the greeting with a nod. “Good morning,” she responded gently and walked in as if no one was watching. However, George stopped her.

In an attempt to appease Genevieve, George forced a strained smile, though nervousness was palpable. The

wrinkles at the corners of his eyes betrayed the visible strain.

“Good morning, Ms. Lawrence. I purposely waited for you here. I have been waiting for you here all morning” he

said

Genevieve nonchalantly smirked as she stopped in her tracks, her bright eyes hinting a touch of coldness as she said, “Were you waiting for me? What’s the matter? Are the people you’ve buttered up not coming through for you?”

George’s face briefly stiffened at Genevieve’s direct words, but he quickly recovered, bringing back his friendly

smile. “When things get tough, true colors show. It’s the way things roll in this industry, praising one and tearing down another. Right now, Eagle Entertainment is my only hope, and I’ve been thinking about going back to work. I can’t stand being away from the company!” he replied.

His online reputation had taken a nosedive, turning him into the subject of scathing criticism from all corners. Now, the place where he lived had even been exposed, leaving him with no choice but to hole up in a hotel
