Entangled With The CEO Brothers

There was a silence in the office for a long time, only to hear George say softly, “The private number thing is by no means as serious as you think. As far as I know, Laura is very close to Willow, and Willow is a rebellious girl, she doesn’t listen to anyone except Laura’s words. Rafael gave his private number to Laura, probably just for easy contact as well.”

“Don’t you dare excuse them!” Fryday huffed, “They must have gone dark a long time ago! Heh, I’ve seen this kind of woman’s tricks so many times, don’t I know that little scheme in her mind?”

“Fryday!” roared George, with a sudden snap.

He was quiet for a long while, waiting for Fryday’s emotions to calm down before he said seriously, “I still say that, mind your own business, and also mind your group of fans not to talk nonsense! The internet rumors are rife that it was you who incited your fans to boycott Laura, these news have already been suppressed by me, I hope that you will cooperate well and not let this kind of negative news raise its head again.”

“Also, Laura’s background and my relationship with her are not what you think! She’s a person who usually keeps a low profile, but that doesn’t mean she’s easy to bully, so don’t offend someone you shouldn’t, and when the time comes, Rafael and I combined won’t be able to protect you!”

Fryday’s eyes widened, half mumbling out a sentence, “Who the hell is behind her …?”

“This you don’t need to care.”

“Heh, afraid to say?” She bit her lip, “George, you’re scaring me, right? If she really has that much background, what would she not dare to say? I think it’s obvious that you’re just an alarmist!”

“You … “George was dry-eyed with anger at her.

I violently pushed open the door and entered, the two people inside were taken aback and turned their faces to stare at me.

I walked straight towards Fryday, forcing down the anger in my heart and giving her a fairly benign smile.

“Yo, when did you get here?” Fryday revealed a disdainful gaze, “Heh, President George, so the artist you’re strongly promoting has the habit of eavesdropping on people!”

“I didn’t eavesdrop.” I smiled, “I just wanted to come and talk to President George about something, I didn’t realize that you were inside, so I listened to a few sentences at the door bright and early.”

“Laura, you …”

“Fryday,” I said with a straight face, “I’m being very serious with you right now, me and Rafael, nothing! If that’s why you hate me, you’re wrong!”

“I used to be Willow’s teacher, and I’ve only met President Rafael once. Willow and I are more on speaking terms, and he gave me his private number, perhaps out of concern for his own daughter.”

“Yeah, what a brilliant move on your part!” Fryday grimaced, “First win the favor of someone’s daughter, then step by step, little by little, you can reach your goal! Hehe, why didn’t I think of that!”

I took a deep breath and smiled slightly, “You really should be nicer to Willow … if you still want to fight for President Rafael back.”

“You admit it after all?” She suddenly gripped my wrist, “You just can’t see me being nice!”

I shook her off hard.

It’s a good thing I’m not wearing heels, and the thin three-inch heels she has under her feet obviously can’t take the push. She stumbled and hit George’s desk.

Just about to snap, George cut her off.

“Fryday, I really have nothing against you.” I looked her in the eyes, “We’re both in the same company, you’re my senior, of course I want to make peace with you. But you’re too deceitful, always treating me as an imaginary enemy, and you have to throw dirty water on me!”

“The police didn’t pursue the matter of the car accident because I didn’t pursue the case. For the sake of President George’s face, I don’t want to bring things to a standstill, but do you really think that I don’t have evidence in my hands that you framed me?”

Fryday’s face changed, and his glare at me gained a few more points of mischief.

“Please stop with the scheming.” I said, “I’m not interested in President Rafael, you should instead reflect on yourself and why you still can’t get to the top despite all your scheming!”

“Laura!” she reached out and swung her hand at me, and I was prepared for it and sidestepped her slap.

And she lost her balance and almost fell.

George goes over and pulls her back, she’s a little hysterical and yelling like a maniac.

“Fryday, stop it!” George yelled angrily.

“And you’re pulling me? You should be pulling her!” She screamed, “Laura, you bitch! You want to fight me? Heh, I won’t let you go! You’re just like that Willow, you’re both freaks! No wonder you’re attracted to her, I think she was probably brought up by you to be against me at every turn! A couple of monsters!”

She didn’t notice George’s face change.

But I noticed that something was wrong with George.

With an indignant shove, he ordered Fryday to stop. He was glaring angrily, but his face was slightly flushed, his whole being puffed up, and that rare look of protection appeared on his face, which was always calm and wise.

I knew he was doing it for Willow.

I softly stopped, “Fryday, stop it. After all, this is President George’s office! What kind of negative news do you want to make before the media spreads it?”

Fryday came back to her senses as well, sneering and breathing unsteadily. Straightening her hair, she paced her heels high and left.

The world is suddenly quiet.

George and I look at each other, silent for a moment, and he sighs, “Sorry …”

I laugh softly, “What kind of words are those?”

“Fryday has a bad temper.” He sits back, propping his head up a little weakly, “But she wasn’t like that when she first started out.”

“You still have old feelings for her?”

George froze, then looked at me dumbfounded and smiled shyly, “Nothing really escapes you.”

“President Rafael does he … know about your past?”

He scratched his head, “He knows all about it, but he doesn’t mind.”

“Fryday and I did date.” He said, “But after she became popular, our relationship faded. Then I took her to a charity gala and she was instantly recognized by Rafael.”

“Rafael is a big tree, she can climb it and she’ll be fine for the rest of her life.” I looked at him, “And you, at the time, had someone else in mind, didn’t you?”

He hesitates and nods.

“I wanted her to be good with Rafael, so I was relieved.” He said, “Fryday has a strong personality, it’s a bit depressing to be with her.”

“Adolescent girls are simple and naive, and you’re the only gaijin in her eyes. So it’s easier to get along, right?”

“Laura, you …” he laughed.

“Fryday is going to have her work cut out for her if she really wants to marry into The Denoble Family.” I whisper, “What hasn’t a man like Rafael seen before? He’s only with Fryday because she’s young and pretty and a popular star. He’s been lonely for years and wants a playmate, so of course he’s looking for the woman who can bring him the most excitement. But finding a wife is not like that.”

“Finding a wife is going to be like you.” George laughed, “Pretty comes second, the main thing is smart, low-key, can handle all kinds of people, especially a difficult daughter.”

I was startled.

A sharp recollection of what Willow had told me.

“Laura,” he tightened his smile, “you really haven’t considered President Rafael?”

I looked at him, my heart suddenly pounding.

George was blunt, “Rafael likes you a lot.”

“No …” I was shocked and backed away, “Are you kidding me!”

“I said seriously.” He looked at me, “Laura, think about it, can you really have a future with Cameron?”

“…”

“You and him,” he lowered his voice, “you are brother and sister after all.”

“You two are in a relationship that is simply not seen as such. Especially now that you’re in show business, how many people are waiting for you to make a mistake, waiting to see you laugh! Take Fryday for example, if you two have this relationship and she knows about it, she’ll make a scene for everyone to see!”

“So from a friend’s point of view, I think the best thing for both of you is to each find your other half.”

“And Rafael, indeed, is a good choice. He’s interested in you, and you’re close to Willow, so you certainly won’t have any problems fitting in with The Denoble Family! As for Fryday, she loves nothing more than the status of a posh young grandmother, and there are plenty of Jerez State posh families out there, so I can introduce her to another one.”

“George!” I interrupted.

I take a few deep breaths and try to stay calm, letting my heartbeat return to its normal rate.

This was ridiculous.

I could never accept this!

“George…” I whispered, “Don’t you go through all the trouble of pulling strings for me. You think I don’t know? You just want to use me to impress Rafael so you can be with Willow in the future!”

“You … should be with Willow on your own merit! Don’t get any ideas on me!”

After saying that I ran out in a huff.

Until I ran out of the building and ran to the street corner, my heart was still beating wildly.

I can’t say what I felt.

Nervous, and a little heartbroken …

Cameron and I, we are not allowed to see the light of day, even if I gave him a daughter, we still can’t be together …

Today George is pulling my strings, tomorrow someone else may be the moonman for Cameron. Anyone can love him, anyone can date him openly, only I can’t!

Because I’m his sister. I can only love him in another capacity.

Tears fell from my eyes and I crouched helplessly in the corner.

For so long, I’ve been under countless pressures, but none of them have been as painful and helpless as this. I hugged my knees and let out a cry in this deserted alley.

…

I focused on my work.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Now it was true that work was the only thing that could take my mind off all my troubles. I gradually found the joy of acting, I can experience all kinds of life, usually hold back too many emotions, but in the theater can be hysterical, free-spirited, cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh, you can live a happy life.

When I’m not filming, all my time belongs to Sunny.

Sunny has become more and more understanding, she is a very independent child, she doesn’t talk much when she meets strangers, but she becomes a little chatterbox when she meets acquaintances.

She likes to cling to me, but unfortunately I have very little time to spend with her, Yasmin takes good care of her and Cameron tries to spend time with her, so all in all, Sunny is quite happy.

I’m going to take a long vacation from the company after this drama wraps up, so I can make it up to my daughter at home.

However, there are always waves of turmoil in the showbiz world.

I thought after the last time, Fryday would be a bit more restrained, but I didn’t expect her to intensify her behavior.

Laura’s Love Song was finished, and there were a lot of unfavorable rumors about me on the internet. Some people even brought up the past, that I was the adopted daughter of The Lynch Family, that my father was a murderer, and that I had written articles for newspapers.

I was scared to death that someone was going to blow the whistle on my real relationship with The Lynch Family and my relationship with Cameron. If that happened, I would have no place at Jerez State!

Oddly enough, however, these rumors only appeared for one day and then mysteriously disappeared the next. There was no trace of anything on the internet, and the comments underneath “Laura’s Love Song” were lopsidedly favorable.

The Curry Group posted an announcement on their official website, which was very simple, just mentioning that regarding false rumors hurting the company’s artists, the company would reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility.

I was a bit surprised that this storm came and went so quickly, and it didn’t seem to affect me too much. Moreover, The Curry Group added more money than the budget to publicize “Laura’s Love Song”, a web series that was incredibly well-received and gained a large number of fans as soon as it aired.

I became a Netflix sensation overnight.

The sudden fame and fortune caught me off guard.

In the past, I had no worries about going out, but now even if I go to the supermarket, I have to dress according to the requirements of the image consultant, and I have to make sure that I look good in front of the public at all times.

Whether I’m shopping for groceries or having afternoon tea, I have to be fully armed and try to be unrecognizable.

And I had to be more attentive to protect Sunny from being exposed to the media.

It was very rare that I came home early that day.

For me it was early, for Sunny, 9pm was the time she was already asleep. I quietly into her room, in her small face gently kissed, the day’s fatigue instantly disappeared, there is a feeling of immense satisfaction.

As I exited I smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen.

I ran over excitedly and Cameron was serving up a plate of crab roasted wheat from a pot. I instantly did a double take, grabbing one and shoveling it into my mouth.

Oily but not greasy, tender and delicious, the flavor of crabmeat soaked through my taste buds.

“Well …,” I sighed heartily, “It’s like I’ve got the world!”

“What a foodie.” Cameron grunted lightly and smirked, “Don’t all actresses have to stay in shape?”

“Who wants to be an actress?” I sat down on my butt, grabbed my chopsticks and started chowing down.

“Actresses live a non-human life … can’t eat cake chocolate ice cream, can’t drink coffee cola milk tea, boiled green vegetables every day, drinks only plain water, but also have to work out on time, and run to the beauty salon every day … to be squeezed to have no time for themselves at all, and live in the spotlight all their lives, magnifying their shortcomings for others to see!”

I concluded, “I’m not going to suffer that!”

Cameron looked at me strangely, “So what are you now, Ms. Laura the Netflix sensation?”

I playfully smiled at him, “I got into acting just to experience another life. I didn’t want to be famous.”

I only thought of it as a job, so I didn’t want to be famous in the first place, I just wanted to earn some money to support my family.

“But you’re famous now!” Cameron said lightly.

I could hear a bit of resentment in his tone.

My heart moved, put down my chopsticks, and asked him softly, “Cameron, do you … not like me like this now?”

He didn’t look at me and didn’t answer.

We just sat quietly, for a long time, his low voice sounded, “As long as you like it.”

He raised his eyes, and his eyes were as deep as the cold sky, and I clearly saw my reflection.

“As long as … you grasp yourself, on the line.” He said softly.
