Chapter 81 After that, apart from working, I spent the majority of my twith Cecilia. She was passionate about cooking all day and fedwith her food like a lab rat. I did not even bother putting up a struggle and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
I was still feeling quite down and had not been sleeping well. I often sat on the balcony the whole night.
Cecilia had broughtto get a prescription for my insomnia that was suitable for pregnant women. However, I often forgot about it and would only take the medication when she reminded me.
Theo had not shown up, and from what Heidi told me, he seemed to have gone abroad.
Several phases of the show's filming had been successfully completed. Everything went well, and the premiere broadcast was well-received. The ratings and comments about the show only grew. The final round would be carried out this afternoon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe spokesperson would be announced and they would sign the contract on the spot. Xander was like a dark horse, cutting his way through the many female celebrities. If everything went smoothly, he had the highest chances of becoming the spokesperson.
I had also thought of a way to handle Newlight Media.
Xander cto my office very early in the morning.
"What are you doing here instead of preparing for the finals?" I chided him.
"I missed you, of course. I haven't seen you for days." Xander supported himself on the table and leaned forward with his stunningly handsface.
"Quit playing. Now I know why the ladies are pestering you. If I were someone else, I might misunderstand it as you're trying to seduce me," I complained with a huff.
He sat back in his chair weakly and lowered his head, saying dejectedly, "I am trying to seduce you but I often fail at it. How boring." How childish of him. I was already used to seeing him fooling around all these years. I shook my head and did not entertain him further.
"It's my final chance today, Wandy. If I becthe spokesperson, then it would spell trouble for your dear husband." He put on a rare but solemn expression.
Though within half a second, he was in high spirits again. "That's not so bad, actually. When Grant Corporation is down, you can then ditch Theo and cwith me. I'm good-looking and pretty rich. I'll be your kid's dad." He put on an excited look as he spoke, looking as though he was telling the truth.
"I'm not confident in letting you raise my kid. Your fans will skinalive. You don't need to meddle in Newlight Media's affairs because I have ways to solve it myself. You just need to be the spokesperson and avoid all negative news. Make sure your popularity doesn't drop." "Who says I want to be a spokesperson? I'm still considering it!" He sat with his legs crossed and assumed an air of arrogance.
"You-" I was speechless and looked at him for a moment before asking, "What's the catch?" "I like how clever you are, Wandy. I'm certain you likebecause why else would you knowso well?" Xander looked atwith a smug look in his eyes.
I rolled my eyes. "I can consider everything but the endorsement fee." I had spent all the budget for this competition. The endorsement fee could not be increased further.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You promised!" Xander stood up and said excitedly," My request is simple. We'll shoot this advertisement i n other parts of the country and you're required to calong and be there throughout the whole process. You have to write this requirement in the contract. I'll sign it immediately." Although I did not know what he was trying to do, I still thought about it and nodded to agree. Anyway, it would be inexcusable fornot to be there during the shoot. As for going to other parts of the country, that would be a topic for another day.
"Nice! I like how straightforward you are. It's noon soon, Wandy, and I'm a little nervous. Can you buylunch to cheerup?" Xander greedily made another request.
I pulled out my phone to call Heidi. "Can you get Mr. Celebrity Xander stakeaway food? I'm buying him lunch this afternoon." "Blergh..." Xander put on a pained expression and covered his mouth while saying, "H-How can you do this to me?!" He ran away after saying those words.
'Do you think I can't handle you, little guy?' I looked at his back and gloated.
Takeaways were Xander's nightmare.
Once, we went out and ordered om takeaways. He ended up eating a cockroach. Since then, he would reflexively gag at the mention of takeaways.
The final results in the afternoon were expected. Whether it was the judges' or audience's vote, Xander suppressed everyone and successfully won first place, becoming the rightful spokesperson.
I signed the endorsement contract with him directly on behalf of Grant Corporation and announced жет another important piece of news on the scene. That was, inviting Sandy, the first runner-up, to be the brand ambassador. X
