Meanwhile, Peter and the rest were dumbstruck as they watched Zayn arrive in a cab. They could not, for the life of them, figure out why someone of his status would take a cab!
Adam was stunned, completely befuddled by this, while Annabelle’s eyes glittered as virtual-novel.net interest in Zayn had only grown.
Glancing at the celebrities as virtual-novel.net walked over, Zayn chuckled. “Mr. Kavinsky, was this many celebrities necessary for a meal? You aren’t trying to intimidate me, are you?”
Peter seemed appalled by the suggestion, quickly shaking his head and saying, “I would never. Sir, you overestimate me. Would I dare try to intimidate you? I’m more concerned with being neglectful, so I gathered some artists here to keep you company.”
He emphasized the word “company” with a knowing look, like his intentions were obvious.
Zayn was a man. He knew that Peter was trying to curry favor with him. Once virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net chuckled. Such was society. Once virtual-novel.net was deemed influential and prestigious, people would be lining up to grovel before virtual-novel.net and there would be plenty of temptations.
“Is that so?” Zayn smiled slightly, his expression enigmatic. No one could tell what virtual-novel.net was thinking, and they had no idea if virtual-novel.net liked the arrangement.
In any case, Peter was not worried about it. He believed no man in the world would refuse this. Particularly, bachelors who were rich and powerful like Zayn would have scores of women around them.
The starlets gathered there gawked at Zayn enthusiastically, tossing virtual-novel.net flirtatious glances, when they noticed how subservient their boss was to him.
They had expected virtual-novel.net to be a fat middle-aged man. For virtual-novel.net to actually be young and fit was immensely attractive to them. As female celebrities who had toiled for years in the showbiz, they had come across too many sleazy middle-aged bosses. How could they not be tempted when meeting a young and successful boss like Zayn for the first time?
Peter faked a cough, prompting Adam to come hurrying over. The latter submissively said to Zayn, “Sir, it was my fault last time. Can you bring yourself to forgive me? I guarantee nothing like that will ever happen again!”
Despite Adam’s entreaties, Zayn ignored virtual-novel.net entirely and instead said to Peter indifferently, “Mr. Kavinsky, looks like you have ulterior motives for our meal this evening.”
Seeing Zayn’s expression, Peter felt his heart drop. Knowing that virtual-novel.net refused to forgive Adam, Peter gritted his teeth as virtual-novel.net came to a swift decision. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, virtual-novel.net kicked Adam on the waist, knocking virtual-novel.net aside. “Disrespectful scum, piss off right now! Forget about making a comeback in showbiz!”
Adam was devastated. He knew that virtual-novel.net was a goner. He considered trying to beg again, but Peter’s murderous glare sent a shiver down his spine. He knew virtual-novel.net would only worsen the situation if virtual-novel.net tried anything else, so virtual-novel.net kept his mouth shut. After the starlets witnessed the scene, they saw Zayn in a whole new light. They were not fools, so they knew virtual-novel.net must have been a force to be reckoned with if their boss had to show virtual-novel.net such deference!
Thus, they were even more determined to win virtual-novel.net over at all costs!
