Dalton stood arm-in-arm with a young woman, who was taller than him.
“My beautiful Giselle, are you interested in getting a drink with me?” Dalton asked teasingly as virtual-novel.net approached her.
He looked at Giselle from top to bottom, but virtual-novel.net ignored Darryl, who stood beside her.
He thought that Darryl was a bodyguard because of his sunglasses.
Giselle pursed virtual-novel.net lips; virtual-novel.net did not reply to him. She felt disgusted whenever virtual-novel.net thought about his hands on virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net had an interview in Dalton’s company.
Dalton was angry with Giselle’s silence. “Giselle Lindt, why are you a prude? How are you these days? No one is offering you movie deals and or even advertisements, right? Do you know the reason for that?”
Dalton looked triumphant.
Giselle’s neutral expression turned into anger. “You are the one behind that?”
Darryl’s brows furrowed even more.
Giselle had stayed in the company building for some time because virtual-novel.net had nothing else to do. In comparison, Lana’s schedule was packed even though virtual-novel.net debuted later than Giselle. Even less popular variety shows did not want Giselle as their guest.
Darryl knew that something was off when Pearl reported that, but virtual-novel.net did not look into it.
Darryl finally understood what had happened after virtual-novel.net heard Dalton’s words.
It was because of that fat man.
“I’ve warned you! You’d not get any resources no matter how popular you were when you debuted if you refuse to work with me! Do you regret it now? It ‘s okay; it is not too late yet. There is still space in my bed.”
Giselle trembled with fury, and virtual-novel.net wanted to retort a reply when Darryl stopped her.
“Don’t bother with him,” Darryl said in a neutral tone.
Dalton’s expression changed drastically; his flabby cheeks twitched.
‘The f*ck! How dare this bodyguard talk to me like that?”
He glared at Darryl as virtual-novel.net yelled, “Who do you think you are? You’re only a bodyguard; you have no right to speak here. Get out of my sight.”
“He’s our president, ” Giselle said.
Dalton was stunned for a moment before virtual-novel.net burst into laughter. “Oh, you’re the President of Platinum Corporation? I didn’t know that your president is only a kid! Why are you wearing sunglasses at night? Are you pretending to be a panda? I was shocked; I thought that you are an emperor.”
‘Is virtual-novel.net dumb?’
Darryl had no intention to bother with him, and so, virtual-novel.net kept quiet.
However, Dalton was one of those people who liked to push his luck. When virtual-novel.net noticed Darryl’s silence, Dalton stood up abruptly and pointed to his nose. “Kiddo, you’re the president of Platinum Corporation, but so what? How long has it been since you built the company? How many resources and connections do you have? You are worthless to me! I’ll make it clear today, I will definitely have Giselle Lindt! You should terminate your contract with virtual-novel.net if you’re smart. Otherwise, I will make sure that Platinum Corporation will not last through the year.”
Darryl’s expression was icy-cold.
There was one thing that virtual-novel.net hated the most in his life, and that was when people pointed their fingers at him.
”Get your pig hooves away from my face,” Darryl said coldly.
“Are you f*cking kidding me?!”
Dalton was enraged!
The event had already started, and the emcee had already made introductions on the stage. The commotion they caused alarmed the other nearby guests, and they looked toward them with curiosity.
Dalton was embarrassed. He waved his arms, and two muscle men appeared from the side.
The men were covered in tattoos, and they were extremely muscular; they were also about 2 meters tall. They were Sam and Liam Jacobs, Dalton’s bodyguards. Dalton had spent an enormous amount of money to hire them!
Dalton was smug about it. “Kiddo, come to the washroom with me if you have guts. Let’s talk there.”
Darryl smiled and nodded. “Sure, I have some things to say to you in private, too.”
“Great, you have guts! I’ll wait for you there then. You’re a p*ssy if you bail.” Dalton smirked.
He walked toward the washroom with his bodyguards.
The guests nearby looked at Darryl and shook their heads.
‘Young people these days are just too blatant. No one in the entertainment industry has the guts to challenge Dalton Zander so far.’
‘This guy is digging his own grave.’
Darryl maintained the light smile on his face as virtual-novel.net walked toward the washroom.
“Darryl.”
Lana rushed forward and held Darryl’s arm, and concern was written all over virtual-novel.net face, “Darryl, don’t be reckless. Dalton Entertainment is highly influential in the entertainment industry. Why are you competing with him? Just ignore him.”
Lana knew the rules even though virtual-novel.net had not been in the entertainment industry for long. She knew that no one would ever dare to provoke Dalton Entertainment.
