Maja sent Zoey out and then called in Shawn.
Shawn was dressed to the nines today, likely fresh from a magazine shoot, his makeup still intact.
"Mr. Pennyfeather, I heard from Mr. Elvis that you got hurt. How are you feeling?"
"It's nothing serious."
Shawn was tall, and from his vantage point, he could easily see the trace beneath Maja's collar, a hint of a passionate encounter with another man.
His fingers tightened on the side, a twinge of resentment stirring within him.
Was Ian trying to make a statement by deliberately leaving marks in such a place?
Mr. Pennyfeather wasn't his to claim exclusively, nor was she anyone else's to claim.
Maja, oblivious to Shawn's feelings, looked up and asked him smilingly.
"Did something happen during the shoot? I remember you joined a new project recently, didn't you?"
"No, everything is harmonious. The reputation of Star Movie Group is great, and the director is also good to me."
"That's good, the company won't force you to meet with investors. If anyone gives you a hard time, be sure to tell Elvis."
Shawn looked down. It was a long time before he asked, "Aren't you bothered by all the people online defaming me and you, Mr. Pennyfeather?"
Netizens claimed that Maja was trying to sleep her way to the top with Shawn, and this rumor had been ongoing.
Maja's tone was indifferent.
"You're a celebrity, you should have prepared for public scrutiny when you entered this industry. The money you earn in a month might be more than what an ordinary person makes in a lifetime. Therefore, you must be a hundred times stronger than them mentally. Don't take to heart whatever you see online."
Maja's words were all official, meant to console her artists. She gave Shawn no room for imagination.
Shawn stood there, watching as she lowered her head, and focused on the documents on her computer.
Byron could tell at a glance that Shawn had feelings for Maja. He advised, "Mr. Pennyfeather doesn't seem like the type to get involved in romantic entanglements. She's dedicated to her work. If you want to get her attention, Shawn, you need to focus on your acting and win some awards. Once you're the company's biggest cash cow, she'll want to see you every day."
Shawn looked out of the window, he knew Byron was right. That's how he had been thinking, too.
But he was afraid that while he was busy acting, she would suddenly marry Ian.
From a man's perspective, Ian was indeed an excellent catch.
But first, there had been rumors about him and Carlene, and now he had another woman by his side. He was no match for Mr. Pennyfeather.
Looking in the rearview mirror, the agent sighed.
"Even if Mr. Pennyfeather gets married one day, think about it, there's no real love in high society. When her husband is keeping a mistress, she can keep a lover, too. That's your chance to step in, Shawn."
Shawn remained silent, leaning his forehead against the cool window glass.
