My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 109

“The proposal and risk assessment for ‘Realm of Illusions’ were not approved by the board.”

“What?” Xanthea could hardly believe her ears, “Just because of that?”

Orion replied, “Yeah.”

“And you being the chairman doesn’t make a difference?”

“I tend to respect the opinions of my team.”

“Ha-ha!” Xanthea burst into laughter, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she looked at him, “Respect for the team, huh? But I must say, their vision really is not that great.”

Orion nodded in agreement, “I think so too.”

Xanthea raised her hand, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying your vision is any good!”

“But my vision, indeed, is very good,” he asserted confidently.

She rolled her eyes at him. Such a narcissist!

“If it were really good, you would’ve gone against everyone’s advice to keep the project, not sold it off so easily! Just wait, Orion. Once I make ‘Realm of Illusions’ into a film, You’ll regret it!”

Regret eliminating me at the audition; regret favoring Isabella!

“Alright, I’ll wait to regret it,” he said with a slight smirk, his eyes betraying no sign of actual regret.

“By the way, what about Isabella? She seemed quite upset about not landing the role of Phoenix. Aren’t you concerned?”

Xanthea ventured cautiously, only to see him passing a fleeting look of confusion, “Who?”

“Ah, never mind!”

No sooner had Xanthea spoken than she regretted it. She had just made a firm statement, and here she was, tempted by desserts. This was so embarrassing!

Orion chuckled, “Hang on.”

“Ah, maybe not,” Xanthea awkwardly waved her hand, “I’m too full already. I can’t eat any more.”

“Ms. Nightshade could take some for later, in case you’re hungry again.”

“Ah?”

Xanthea blinked in surprise. Before she could respond further, Orion was already heading into the kitchen. “Well, let’s see, but if it’s not delicious, I’m not taking it.”

A few minutes later, Xanthea walked out of the suite 3001 with an elegant gift box, sighing deeply.
