Upton family, Katie Upton.
Chapter 40
Sheena wondered why Howard never mentioned Katie before.
It seemed that Howard was not interested in Katie at all.
Well, that was just fine with her because she did not like the idea of having someone arrogant like Katie as her future sister–in–law.
With a smile, Sheena replied, “Until the marriage certificate is signed, nothing is certain yet. Ms. Upton, are you claiming him as yours already? I’m sorry, but my office is small, and I don’t entertain uninvited guests.”
“Hey!” Katie fumed, but before she could retort, Sheena quickly immersed herself in her work, completely ignoring her presence.
No matter what Katie said, it fell on deaf ears.
With no outlet to vent her frustration, Katie had no choice but to leave feeling annoyed.
Once out of Sheena’s office, Katie glanced at Sue. Knowing her intentions, Sue followed closely, and they walked together to a secluded corridor with no surveillance cameras.
“How’s your new talent manager?”
Sue glanced at her surroundings to ensure that no one was around and whispered, “You won’t believe this, but she was personally brought into the company by Mr. Lawson himself. He even asked us to take care of her. I suspect she had an affair with Mr. Lawson before joining the company. On top of that, she doesn’t respect anyone here, not even the top artists in the company. She’s arrogant and extremely bold.”
“Unbelievable!” Katie seethed. “If that’s the case, then she must be dealt with immediately.”
Katie gestured for Sue to come closer and whispered a plan.
After hearing it, Sue seemed a little hesitant.
“Is this really okay? Wouldn’t that be too much?”
Katie gently patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. Just do it. Once this is over, I’ll speak highly of you to Mr. Lawson and make sure you take her position.”
Although Sue’s conscience was burdened with guilt, the prospect of a promotion and a raise enticed her. Even though Sue hesitated initially, she chose the latter.
In the afternoon, Sheena was still in her office, organizing the upcoming events for the artists. Sue entered with a smile, behaving in an unprecedentedly friendly manner.
“Ms. Sheena, have you heard about Vision Group’s plan to invest a huge sum of money in a drama?” Sue asked with a friendly smile, presenting a document to Sheena while she focused on the spreadsheets.
Sheena did not look up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Sue continued to act overly friendly, giggling as she respectfully placed the document on Sheena’s desk. “I managed to secure an opportunity for our artists to negotiate with the Vision
Group, but they insisted on having only you attend the meeting with their executives.”
Finally, Sheena looked up, shooting Sue a cold glance that seemed capable of seeing through her.
Sue was taken aback by the icy gaze.
Sheena sneered. “This is a great chance to get a higher commission. Whoever secured the negotiation should go.”
Sue hurriedly appeased her, “I would love to go, but the Vision Group thinks my position is too low. They only want someone of a higher level to negotiate. It’s not just about the commission. It’s an excellent opportunity to promote our artists. We all work for the company’s best interests, so it’s a win for anyone who secures this deal.”
Sheena had been observing Sue’s expressions and said, “Ms. Klein, this is the first time you’ve been so respectful.”
Sue hesitated for a moment before offering a brighter smile. “After witnessing your capability, I dare not be so reckless anymore. However, this meeting with the Vision Group’s executives is truly a fantastic opportunity. Are you sure you won’t reconsider?”
“Sure, I’ll go,” Sheena replied, smiling.
How would she know what tricks Sue was trying to pull to if she did not?
In the evening, as soon as it was time to leave the office, Sue linked arms with Sheena in a friendly manner, bringing her to the dinner meeting with the Vision Group.
Once they arrived at the luxurious private room, three chubby middle–aged men politely stood up, their eyes lit up when they saw Sheena.
Sue smiled and introduced, “This is Angle’s beautiful talent manager, Ms. Sheena.”
“Ms. Sheena, these three gentlemen are Mr. Williams, Mr. Landon, and Mr. Clarke, the
directors of the Vision Group.”
“They’re all directors?” Sheena blinked innocently. “Why aren’t the executives in charge here for the meeting?”
