Everyone was stunned to hear Levi’s demands.
Maurice looked at Levi in disbelief. “You’re really greedy! I’m warning you not to go overboard!”
Levi ignored him and left.
“Why is he like that?” Maurice fumed.
Helena admonished him, “Maurice, how can you speak to him so rudely? Mr. Garrison is our benefactor!”
“Hmph, I admit we do owe him. But the reason I’m popular now is because of my own efforts and acting skills. He
probably contributed about ten percent of our success. That’s why I wanted to give him some money to repay his
kindness. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of me!” Maurice sneered.
Helena glared at him before she left, fuming.
In life, there were many people who became famous or rich overnight.
It was hard to stay grounded as most people couldn’t help but let success get to their heads.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Maurice became famous overnight, his attitude changed significantly.
He didn’t care for his old friends and broke up with his girlfriend of seven years.
In the office, he would always put on airs. Other than Zoey, he would not treat anyone else with respect.
To the extent that he accepted private jobs for additional income.
Rumor had it that his personal life was also in a mess.
Zoey was now aware of his behavior.
“Are you not going to do something about him?” Levi asked.
“Given that the two movies are doing very well. We can only turn a blind eye for now,” Zoey replied with a helpless
expression.
Suddenly, her tone changed. “However, he has gone overboard. He and Helena were supposed to be paid a few
hundred thousand for acting in the films. But, when he saw how popular the movie became, he demanded a bonus
of at least ten million. Or a salary of at least twenty million for his next film.”
“To be honest, he really is very popular and well worth the money. By the way, what about Helena?” Levi asked.
Zoey responded with a smile. “Helena and the rest are really grateful and have left all the decisions to the
company. Their attitude hasn’t changed much despite their success.”
“That’s very good!” Levi laughed.
The next day, Triple Group’s representative, Horace, came to continue the negotiations.
Maurice and Helena were also present.
Being the spokesperson, Maurice was feeling excited. Once the contract was signed, he would receive over ten
million as spokesperson fees.
He had planned to buy a mansion and luxury car with the money.
Everyone waited in the meeting room until Zoey arrived.
“Ms. Lopez, if you don’t have any issues, please sign the contract,” Horace suggested with a smile.
Smiling back at him knowingly, Zoey replied, “I’m sorry Mr. Waller, I won’t be signing it today.”

Zoey’s decision was as shocking as being struck by lightning. Everyone in the room was stunned as they looked at
her in disbelief.
Didn’t everything go well yesterday?
The Triple Group is being very generous with a hundred million worth of spokesperson fees.
Why did she change her mind?
Before Gerry and the others could respond, Maurice couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Ms. Lopez, why? Where else can we find a collaboration like that? Of all the recent offers we received from other
companies, the Triple Group has given us the best terms.” Maurice stared at Zoey in disbelief.
Levi, who was sitting beside, sneered, “The management has decided not to sign it. Are you doubting the
management’s decision?”
“You… I…”
Maurice was dumbfounded at Levi’s challenge.
No matter how arrogant he got, he realized that he was still dependent on Zoey.
“Why don’t you keep quiet as Ms. Lopez has her reasons!” Helena and her colleagues held Maurice back.
