Pampered Wife of Xavier

Chapter 10: Is there a need of Marriage?

Ding!

The sound of the lift rang and the door opened.

Arya took a deep breath, seeming a little out of it as she walked out of the lift. She appeared to have forgotten about Xavier and Rick behind her.

"Di-"

As Rick was about to call out to Arya, he stopped when he saw Xavier's face.

Xavier's eyes had darkened slightly as he looked in the direction Arya left. He only exited the lift slowly after a short while.

"Master, Director Johns seems to be related to Mayor Johns. If I'm not mistaken, Victoria is the daughter of Mayor Johns and Ethan is the master of Martinez Corporation. Both of them have just returned from abroad not too long ago. There's also news that the Johns and the Martinez's are going to be connected through their marriage. Ethan is probably getting engaged to Victoria. As for Director Johns..."

Rick felt doubtful. Actually, the whole of Glory World Corporation was not very familiar with Director Johns's background. She was rather secretive and never really talked to anybody aside from work-related matters. It was near impossible to know her personal information.

"Oh right, Master, I'm not sure if you remember Victoria. The Imperial Sky Jewellery City is finishing up soon and the Public Relations Department was thinking about inviting her to become our company's jewellery ambassador. She's very popular now. After all, as a young girl with a very positive image, she's pretty great overall. The Public Relations Department sent you the proposal several days ago and you gave the green light too," Rich explained when he saw that Xavier did not say anything.

"Imperial Sky Jewellery City? One of the projects within Imperial Sky Entertainment City?" Xavier asked after giving it some thought. Rick nodded.

"That's right, Master! It's one of the projects within Imperial Sky Entertainment City which is nearly done now. All the shops are filled and we'll be able to run it very soon. The Planning Department and the Public Relations Department are working on the opening ceremony. By estimates, we'll be able to have the opening ceremony by the New Year."

"Who's handling this project?"

"Master, this project is handled by Director Johns and Director Lin. After Director Lin shifted away, all the plannings and execution were mostly done under Director Johns's supervision, including the phase to recruit businesses to join. After that, it's the Planning Department and the Public Relations Department's job to work on the opening ceremony. The old chairman was happy with her efficiency, which was why he appointed Director Johns to handle New Era Plaza.

"However, I'm not sure if you've read the news in the past few days. Johns Culture Media that's run by the Elder Madam of the Johns family initially contracted several big projects with Smiths Corporation, but Smiths Corporation suddenly backed out. Moreover, the Vice President of the company embezzled the company funds and ran away to another country. It seems to be in a bad state at the moment. Victoria is from Johns. During the meeting with her about the contract, she briefly mentioned that she's interested in becoming an actress. She's probably inviting us into the movie and television industry."

Rick took a pause after reporting everything he knew about the situation to Xavier. Then, he asked,

"What do you think about the movie and television industry?"

He knew that his boss avoided of such industries but still, he asked quietly and carefully,

"The old chairman had such thoughts before and wanted to give it a try to boost Glory World's image."

Xavier suddenly thought of something and a cold light passed through his eyes. He asked as he glanced at the drawing in his hand,

"Did the Public Relations Department sign the contract with the ambassador already?"
