Chapter 156 Accidental Return
“I won’t be wrong.” Walter quickly followed Melinda and the others to the meeting room.
No matter what Melinda wanted to do today, they had to accept it unconditionally.
This was just a weekly meeting of Aorai Company. Maria was the last to enter the meeting room and found that almost all the senior management staff arrived, including the two directors of the board of directors.
In the end…
She looked at Melinda’s side and indeed saw the face that often appeared in her nightmares.
She almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Walter pulled her back in time. “Sit here.”
“Oh, okay.” Maria sat down in a dze and did not dare to look up again.
She could still feel a cold and hateful gaze landing on her.
Five years ago, Justin was the top manager in the country. All the artists and dance groups he brought out would be famous throughout Asia or even the entire world. Because of his invincible performance, there were reports and acclaims that no matter how ordinary a person was, as long as they met Justin, they would become a top star.
However, because of some unknown relationship exposed, his reputation fell. The female artist, who was implicated, also suffered from depression and eventually committed suicide by running a car down the cliff.
The people who exposed these were Maria and Walter.
They were young and full of vigor at that time, and did not expect to cause a death.
After so many years, Maria did not forget the message she received on her phone on the day of the accident.
She was afraid of Justin and afraid that he would come back and take revenge on her at any time.
“Everyone, there is only one reason for this meeting. That is to welcome Justin to the country and become the company’s chief manager. Everyone, please welcome him.”
“Director Carter, I just came back to take a look.”
Justin looked up slightly at Walter as he spoke. He smiled willfully and said, “The Aorai is developing well these years. If I join now, something big will happen.”
He pointed at something and left the meeting room.
Melinda watched him leave but she wasn’t angry. She seemed to have expect this outcome.
“No matter what happened in the past, the company needs everyone to work together in the future. I don’t want to see any internal strife. I hope you all understand.”
“Yes, Director Carter.”
Maria recovered from her shock and anxiety. Walter felt Melinda’s words had something to do with it.
“In addition, the conditions of the two new artists signed by the Star Plan are not bad, but they are not unique enough, so we need to focus on training them.”
“Director Carter, don’t tell me you want Justin to bring someone along?” Walter asked.
Melinda shook her head. “I didn’t plan to do that. The artists Justin has brought abroad these past few years were all international superstars. If he brought new people, it would be waste of talent.”
This made people unable to understand.
Maria and Walter looked at each other and maintained their silence at the same time.
Ten minutes later.
Melinda returned to her office and saw Justin sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. She put down the documents and let the secretary leave.
“It seems like Manager Palmer’s temper is getting worse.”
“You know I don’t want to see them.” Justin put down the coffee and stood up. “I came back for your sake. Even if I hate them, I won’t make things difficult for you. The coffee is very good. I will leave first.”
“Wait. I spent so much effort to invite you back. It’s not as simple as treating you to coffee. I have a new artiste here who wants to invite you.”
“I don’t accept new people. Sorry to trouble you.” Justin frowned slightly, but when he saw the photo Melinda took out, he was stunned.
“Arya?”
“You know her?” Melinda smiled. “Or is it that you also noticed her because she has the same temperament as Rachel?”
Justin did not want to answer this question.
He put down the photo and took half a step back, keeping silent.
“You can’t drift around outside for the rest of your life. I know you can’t let go of that matter in your heart, but people have to look forward. I believe Arya’s is an artist worth nurturing.”
“I arranged for SNW’s new product endorsement to meet their Asia region’s president tomorrow night. This is your first job with Arya.”
“I don’t think she is as outstanding as you say!”
Justin only glanced at Arya’s photo and did not take it to heart. He turned around and left Melinda’s office, putting everything behind him.
He was not a strict employee of Aorai and did not intend to take over any female artist.
However, this incident had a very bad impact.
After he left, Melinda contacted Arya, “This manager is the best candidate I can find for you in my current position. If you can get his help, it will be very beneficial to your future.”
No one would like to stay in the same place forever. Melinda left female artist’s circle and understood Arya’s urgent need more.
She must break through her own limits in order to obtain greater success. Justin was that opportunity.
“Thank you Director Carter. I will try to get along well with him.” Arya politely replied, but actually she did not want to keep a person who was too arrogant by her side. She needed to be like Luna, a true friend to her.
After Melinda introduced Justin, she was not very interested.
“Arya, I know what you are thinking. Your personality has always been as calm as water, but this is precisely your weakness. You won the Golden Spear Movie Festival and now you have the Aorai as
your platform for your comeback. You need a higher step. There is no problem with your strength. What you need is opportunity and popularity.”
“I think your ability is more than that. You can become an international superstar, do you understand?”
Melinda did not like to speak and do things sloppily. Hearing her direct opinion, Arya was deeply moved. Indeed, she did not have the time to endure like those young actors. She had to take a step further. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I understand, Director Carter.”
After hanging up the phone, her heart could not calm down for a long time. As an actress, she could not calm down. Everything Melinda had planned for her was something she dreamed of.
However, she would work hard towards that goal not only for the sake of standing higher and matching up with Allen.
Allen walked up from behind and hugged her, “What is it?”
Arya did not hide anything from him. She told him what Melinda said, but when Allen heard Justin’s name, he clearly showed a hesitant expression.
“What is it? Isn’t this manager good?”
Arya looked at him in surprise. Melinda would not put someone who did not have the ability to be by her side.
“No, this person is a bit… in terms of relationships between men and women… He went overseas. It is because a female artist, his subordinate, committed suicide due to depression. It is said that they are lovers.”
“Huh?” Arya smiled and hooked her arm around his neck, “What does that have to do with me?”
“I am a married woman.”
