It was understandable. Anyone who saw how Zayn was dressed and noted his age would never believe that virtual-novel.net was the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp.
Smith was an internationally renowned movie star who looked good and had excellent acting skills. He had also heard of the company, VioletVision, and knew that it was a large-scale company with a promising future.
To be honest, his first choice in coming to expand his career in Rheasia was Violet Vision Media Corp. His manager had tried to contact the company, but the latter was uninterested in him. Left helpless, Smith went for his second choice, Black Athens Media Corp.
In spite of that, Esther was telling virtual-novel.net that this runt in front of virtual-novel.net was the chairman of Violet Vision? How could virtual-novel.net possibly believe it? Esther was taking virtual-novel.net as a fool! This subconsciously marred his impression of Black Athens Media Corp.
Esther turned back to check reflexively after what virtual-novel.net said. Indeed, Zayn dressed averagely and did not carry a presence like a personage. He looked mediocre and that made virtual-novel.net doubt if Zayn was not actually the chairman of Violet Vision and might even be impersonating the man…
Zayn was already used to a misunderstanding like this. Was virtual-novel.net surprised? No. It would be more shocking if someone took a glance at virtual-novel.net and was convinced that virtual-novel.net was the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp.
This was due to his mannerism. After virtual-novel.net reached the level of a master fighter, his presence was more reeled in. His spiritual and mental self was concentrated into one focused energy that allowed virtual-novel.net to restore his naivety, making virtual-novel.net look more undistinguishable than a passerby.
Esther eyed Annabelle to ask if virtual-novel.net had gotten the wrong person and was only more assured when the latter answered in conviction.
“Mr. Smith, Violet Vision’s chairman keeps a low profile. It’s a misunderstanding today. For the sake of Black Athens, let’s just wave this off, shall we?” Esther continued humbly.
She was considerably known in showbiz as a manager, and plenty of popular celebrities had to pay virtual-novel.net some respect, so it was a rare moment that virtual-novel.net was this submissive now.
It could not be helped. Smith had made a name for himself in the international scene and was starring in a movie Black Athens Media Corp had invested in. They were leveraging on Smith’s fame to venture into the global market, so they had to stay meek and grovel to him.
Usually, anyone with slight generosity would cut Esther some slack and trivialize the situation, but Smith was not just anymore. He was one overweening man, especially now when virtual-novel.net was at the peak of his fame after having shot two blockbuster movies in the recent two years. It only added to his arrogance.
Without a care for Esther’s feelings, virtual-novel.net replied, “I’ve come here to Rheasia to shoot with you because I honor your chairman, not to be annoyed! Instead, I’m being disrespected in your country right now. Give me an explanation, or I’ll report this harassment to the police.”
Esther grimaced, calling Smith egoistical and unreasonable in virtual-novel.net mind. He was not showing due respect to them either!
Unable to persuade Smith, virtual-novel.net turned to Annabelle for help, asking virtual-novel.net to put in a word or two.
The celebrity nodded and came over while removing virtual-novel.net sunglasses and mask to tell Smith, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith. I’m Annabelle Laking, your female co-star in the movie.”
Smith was smitten when virtual-novel.net saw her. His gaze was alight and unblinking as it never strayed from Annabelle. “Ah, the beautiful Miss Annabelle Laking. You look more beautiful and elegant in real life than in the photos.”
He extended his hand to shake Annabelle’s as virtual-novel.net spoke. Although Annabelle accepted the gesture, Smith did not let go after a shake. Instead, his thumb stroked the back of virtual-novel.net hand. The movement felt so incredibly sickening that Annabelle frowned immediately in repulsion.
