My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 71

"I have one more condition."

Xanthea asked, "What's that?"

"You're not allowed to sign with Starlight Media!"

"Starlight Media? What about this company? What's so special about it?"

"That's my company!"

Isabella's face turned livid with irritation. Even though she didn't really care about her, with all the gossip online about her, how could Xanthea not even know which company she belonged to?

"Xanthea, don't think I can't see you trying to cozy up to our CEO! Forget about signing with Starlight Media and riding on the CEO’s coattails to fame!"

What was she on about?

Xanthea was still trying to grasp what she was accusing her of when Isabella stormed off, bag slung over her shoulder.

Driven by curiosity, Xanthea googled “Starlight Media” and a flood of information came up, ending with, "Starlight Media, a subsidiary of the Lockwood Group, represents artists like Isabella, Shirley, and others, with the group's CEO - Orion Lockwood."

Seeing Orion’s name made Xanthea's eyebrows twitch. She then mockingly gestured a thumbs-up towards Isabella's retreating figure, "What’s that about? Which part of me exactly seems like I’m after your CEO?"

Isabella vaguely heard her mockery but chose not to respond.

She really hadn't seen any signs of Xanthea aiming for the CEO, but Orion's peculiar attention towards her gave Isabella an ominous feeling. If one day Xanthea became the CEO’s wife.

Covering her forehead, Xanthea smiled helplessly. She hadn’t anticipated things would turn this way.

“It’s because, well, I actually enjoyed the music video shoot today and after hearing some advice from Director Hawthorne, I thought I might as well give it a try.”

“That’s fantastic!”

Oliver was beyond thrilled. His Oli·hea Media, which had waited for many years, finally had its star!

He had founded Oli·hea Media, a play on his and Xanthea’s names, hoping that one day Xan would join the company. Now, his dream was coming true!

"Xan, rest assured, once you join the company, you'll be our top star. I’ll do everything I can to propel you to the pinnacle of the showbiz!"
