Chapter 494\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaha, a wise man indeed,\u201d Damon said, satisfied. With Benedict on board, Gale Entertainment\u2019s new series\u2013designed specifically to crush Starlight Media\u2013was a sure thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Starlight Media, many of the talents Finley had cultivated had already jumped ship to Gale Entertainment. Damon couldn\u2019t imagine how Larissa could possibly win. If \u201cHeaven\u2019s Will\u201d still managed to become a hit, he would resign on the spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At three in the afternoon, a sleek van pulled up in front of the Starlight Media building. Two young men in matching hoodies got out from the front seats. They were followed by three people from the back: a middle\u2013aged couple and a young woman with a cherubic, baby face who looked barely out of her teens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group of five looked up at the \u201cStarlight Media\u201d sign and walked inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa immediately rose from her desk. \u201cHello, may I help you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The baby\u2013faced woman smiled politely. \u201cHi there! We\u2019re looking for Ms. Judson. We heard she needed some help around here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It clicked for Ursa. \u201cYou\u2019re the temporary help Ms. Judson hired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s us!\u201d the woman chirped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa looked her up and down skeptically. \u201cHoney, are you even old enough to work?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The young woman planted her hands on her hips, feigning indignation. \u201cOf course I am! I\u2019m twenty\u2013five, even older than Ms. Judson!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty\u2013five?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa and the other employees stared in disbelief. She looked sixteen, at most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The middle\u2013aged woman smiled kindly. \u201cShe\u2019s telling the truth. She is twenty\u2013five. Could you please let Ms. Judson know we\u2019re here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Snapping out of her shock, Ursa said, \u201cRight. Please wait here. I\u2019ll go get her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Ursa left, another employee leaned over and whispered to the baby\u2013faced woman, \u201cSo\u2026 which company did you guys transfer from?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman waved a dismissive hand. \u201cOh, just a small, insignificant organization.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only the largest and most powerful underground alliance in the world. As the five most junior members, a little humility was in order.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed. A very small, insignificant organization.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group turned in unison towards the source of the sound. Larissa was strolling towards them, a knowing smile on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cChief!\u201d the five of them exclaimed, their demeanor instantly respectful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
22:01\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chief?! What in the world was their new CEO\u2019s real identity? Why were these people of all different ages calling her \u201cChief\u201c?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa approached them. \u201cNightveil filled you in on the job, I assume?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The baby\u2013faced woman nodded, her round eyes sparkling. \u201cShe did. Leave it to us, Chief. We\u2019ll make sure your \u201cHeaven\u2019s Will becomes the biggest hit series of the last two decades!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The employees\u2018 jaws dropped even further. This woman had some nerve! The biggest hit of the last two decades? Even the great Benedict wouldn\u2019t dare make such a bold claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. I apologize for having you slum it here for a while, Larissa said with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The employees were left scratching their heads in confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Slum it?! So working here was beneath them? Who in the world were these people? Or was one of them just full of hot air, and the other gullible enough to believe it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
