"Whom have I not?"
"…"
The reply from the senior made Toryan speechless. He had heard a lot about this sister of the President of his new company. And of all the things she had done. And since he was from the same company as Maevie he was far more informed about Maevie than anyone in the crew.
He had witnessed her act in unreasonable manners before a couple of times. It would indeed be a strenuous job to find someone who had never been offended by Maevie even once. And for her to openly say that was something that he had not expected she would do.
But after he got to know her for about two weeks, she did not seem to be as bad as the rumors said she was.
Or maybe she hadn't shown that side to them yet.
"No need to worry. Such things would pass by like it did not even exist." Maevie added looking the boy's concerned face.
"Should I make a post? Would that help?" Toryan asked.
That earned a shocking look from Maevie. She was not expecting such a noble offer form someone she had just known for a few days.
"Don't invite trouble to yourself so eagerly. Thanks for the concern though."
Toryan just nodded and did not say anything at Maevie's action of rejecting his help. He was not brainless. Even though he sincerely wanted speak up for her, if he openly did it without a plan, he was sure to get scolded by the netizens.
The reason he asked Maevie if he should post was to test her. She was not a rich and dumb girl as shown by the media.
Meanwhile, Maevie did not know that she was being assessed by the junior brother of her company. She was more focused on the emergency notification given by the System.
[MALICIOUS INTENT DETECTED]
This was a feature of the system which Maevie considered was the most useful. When ever there was someone within a radius of ten meters from her have bad intentions towards her, she immediately got informed by the system. It was only because of this function of the system that she had been able to survive in all those worlds.
Maevie looked into the notification.
[NOA JAGGER
AGE: 56
GENDER: MALE
STATUS: MARRIED
PROFESSION: INVESTOR
…]
The name was not unfamiliar. Maevie turned at look at the direction where the director and all the big shot who had invested in the drama were seating. She caught the man whose information was still displayed on her screen, looking at her. But as her eyes met his, he quickly turned away, engaging himself into the ongoing conversation of the table.
Maevie scrolled though the information of the person who had bad intention towards her. And she could not help but smirk looking at the scandalous articles in the file.
This Noa guy was an investor of 'Page of Promises.' He was well known in the industry for being a gentleman who doted on his wife and children. He was an orphan who was sponsored by the Mc Tanlo family, who was one of the top ten most riches family in the whole Eastern Nation.
With his good looks, calm and gentle disposition, he was like by everyone who came close to him, amongst whom was also Stalley Mc Tanlo, his wife, the only daughter of the Mc Tanlo family.
With the support of his wife and her family, he became a successful person who had earned himself a position in the industry of investment. And even open his own Investment Company.
But what was hidden behind the gentle and loving husband cover of his was that he was a very lustful and deviant person who had weird tastes and ways to enjoy his bed activities.
He, hidden from the world, had defiled many young girls who was yet to reach adulthood, manipulated and suppressed them. Behind his wife, he had father three children and if there was a thorough investigation, there could be more.
Maevie was not surprise that such person had bad intentions toward her. And for his own sake, he hoped it only remained as intention and not action. Because that would be the moment, she destroys the 'happy family' of someone people which would eventually lead to the father being sent to the jail.
The dinner party went on for a good three hours. The gathered people began to disperse one after another. Some left in groups and the others called for their own car or taxies.
Maevie's head was a bit heavy. She had forgotten that her body had not yet trained to be resistant to alcohol and had a couple more than she was comfortable with. Thankfully, the system was working on eliminating the alcohol out of her.
She stood by the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for Nora to drive the car to the front. She leaned on the wall as her eyes followed the cars that were passing by one by one. The young woman coud not help but pout as her assistant was taking a long time. She really looked like a baby who was tried from running around the whole day and could not wait to go back home and jump into the bed to have a nap.
And Noa, who had been observing for the whole night, was once again captured by the adorable look on the young woman's face. He had invested 2 millions on this short drama and had never visited the set because he did not find it that important. But today, since the director personally invited him to the dinner party, he came.
He had never expected to find a girl who met his taste so much. He knew who the girl was. But seeing her personally, in real life was so much different than seeing her on screen. Her indifference she showed him when he was introduced, the bored look on her face as she waited for the director to get over with his flattering, every move she made… Screamed defiance. And he so baddy wanted to punish this free bird. Beat out the fire in her eyes… He wanted to see those deep orbs in tears…
He knew that he had to be cautious when he approached her as she was someone from a notable family. But that did not mean she was unattainable to him.
And seeing the state she was in at the moment, he saw a chance to take his step.
