“Head Yu, I tried calling you earlier to tell you that we encountered some problems in the temple.” Little Xiao immediately approached the woman. “There are a lot of…”
“Miss Xiao, I think you misunderstood.” Head Yu furrowed her brows. “This studio is already taken. Someone was scheduled to have a photoshoot in this place in the next thirty minutes. So pack up and…”
“But they told me that this studio is not booked by anyone.” Little Xiao reasoned. “I called the people from the studio and they confirmed that this is vacant for today.”
“Well — not anymore.” Head Yu shifted her gaze towards the people setting up the lighting. “Stop that… pack up. You are going back to the temple.”
“I don’t have the time for that.” Lily suddenly stood from her seat and walked towards them. She stood in front of the woman named Head Yu and stared at her. “I guess you are the Editor-in-Chief who was too busy to meet me when I arrived?”
“I am Yu Lin, the Editor In chief. I— “
“Then… thank you for the invite, Miss Yu.” Lily said. She smiled at the woman. “I will leave now.”
“Miss Qin where are you going?” When Lily ignored her, Yu Lin was forced to run after Lily and blocked her way. “There must be some misunderstanding.”
“Is there?” Lily lifted an eyebrow. “I heard the photographer called someone from the studio earlier and heard them confirmed that no one was scheduled to use this place. Since you don’t want me here… then, I am leaving.”
“I — Miss Qin… that is not— “
“Mrs. Zhou.” Lily blurted. “Call me Mrs. Zhou.”
“Mrs. Zhou, my apologies. It’s just that…”
“What?”
“Mrs. Zhou… would it be alright, if we talk in my office?” she asked hesitation flooded her eyes. She was truly in a tough situation right now, ah. Yu Lin never actually thought that Lily would make her current dilemma even worse.
“Lead the way.” Lily smiled as she followed Yu Lin towards her office just a few feet away from the studio.
“Please take a seat. Do you want something? Coffee, Tea?”
“No. Go directly to the point,” Lily said. A sigh instantly escaped the woman sitting opposite her.
“As you know… we are affiliated with the Yu Entertainment in Mainland China.” Yu Lin started. “In fact… my stepbrother is the CEO of Yu Entertainment.” She gave Lily a sad smile. “Mrs. Zhou, I am sure that we invited you before the news about Mr. Zhou occupied all the entertainment website.” Seeing Lily nod at her words, she continued.
“Well… today, while I was preparing for our interview. My stepbrother called me and asked me to feature Cindy Hao in the next month’s magazine. When I heard this… I immediately told him that you are our next month’s cover. However, he insisted that I accommodate his request and even told me that Cindy Hao is already on her way for a photo shoot today.”
“Is that so?” Lily asked.
“Yes. Now… I was just trying to avoid any trouble. I know there is no way that the two of you could have this photoshoot at the same time. So I — I have to ask you and Little Xiao to leave.” She gritted her teeth as she stood from her chair and gave Lily a low bow. “I really apologize for this misunderstanding.”
“Tell me, Miss Yu.” Lily gestured for her to stop bowing. “Did you tell anyone that I will be here today?” she asked.
“Yes, all the executives know this matter, including our CEO who is currently in Mainland China with my stepbrother.” Guilt flashed in Yu Lin’s eyes. “I know it was a mistake but… I was too excited. Our company wanted to stop using models and actresses as covers, and we wanted someone strong and independent. You are the only one that fits the values that our company wanted to promote.” She let out a sighed. “I cannot do anything about this matter. I have to listen to the people above me so… I really hope that you will understand me on this matter.”
In response, Lily turned towards Yang Mi’s way. “Did you bring the clothes that I asked you to bring earlier?”
“Yes, President.”
“Including the shoes and pieces of jewelry?” Lily asked. In response, Yang Mi nodded.
“What are you planning to do?” Yu Lin asked as confusion laced her eyes. “Are you— “
“Yes, Miss Yu. Schedule the photoshoot for today.” The smile on Lily’s face vanished. She knew that someone had been scheming behind her back. This fact is making her irritated. “Since they wanted to create some drama, then… let me show them what drama is.”
“Are — Are you planning to have that photoshoot with Miss Hao?” Yu Lin asked, her eyes went wide. “Mrs. Zhou, I cannot allow this to— “
“You are afraid that I will bully her?” Lily asked.
“No — It’s just that… I don’t want to cause any more issues. I know that the paparazzi are waiting outside. Once they get ahold of this information, they will do everything to see this photoshoot. I am sure they will also publish articles about this matter.”
“Why?” Lily’s lips curled upwards. “Wouldn’t that bring more profits to your company? I am sure a magazine with both of our faces would entice a lot of people to buy your magazine, no? Isn’t this a very good opportunity for your magazine?”
“But — that—” Yu Lin stuttered. She looked at the evil glint in Lily’s eyes and did not continue her words. She always thought that once Lily would hear this matter, she would leave and cancel this photoshoot. This is to avoid any more harmful issues that might damage her name. How could she even suggest that both of the rumored mistress of her husband would do the photoshoot together?
This is too illogical, ah. What if Lily would lose control and hurt Cindy Hao? Yu Lin heard stories about Lily being aggressive and obsessive when it comes to business. What if… she is really crazy in real life and hurt someone?
“You look afraid.” Lily met Yu Lin’s eyes. “If you are wondering… I am not the type to physically hurt someone.” Her lips lifted into an evil smile. “My type of crazy is on a different level.” She uttered.
