When she returned to Zoey’s hospital room, Zoey, spotting her troubled expression, asked with concern, “Is it
something with the company?”
Maja shook her head, managing a weak smile for her friend. “Zoey, focus on your health. I’m going to head back to
Rosewood Manor for a shower before diving into some paperwork at the office.”
“Alright, but you don’t look so good, Ms. Pennyfeather”
Tm fine”
Maja left the hospital, taking a moment to glance at the overcast sky, a prickling sensation at the corner of her
eyes.
When she arrived back at Rosewood Manor, she showered away the smell of gasoline clinging to her clothes. It was

It was as if through such actions, she could erase that night with Patric

Her phone rang at that moment. A TV station had gotten hold of her number and wanted to invite her for an
interview. She declined politely
When asked if she planned to always remain a mystery to the public, Maja paused, recalling the online rumors that
she was a hideous woman who loved to sponsor male celebrities.
At this critical time for the company, potential partners were hesitant to bet on the commercial value of Star Movie

increase its stock value
All she had to do was portray herself as a commodity, one with a positive image
But she didn’t want to participate in such interviews where hosts typically asked tough questions, especially at a
time when Star Movie Group was on the rise. If the Sanders family had connections with the TV station, she’d be
facing immense humiliation.
After
hanging up the phone, she inquired about the upcoming award ceremony
“Ms Pennyfeather, there is indeed an award ceremony coming up. It’s broadcasted live, and Shawn happens to be
nominated for the best actor,” an assistant informed her.
Decided, Maja planned to sit next to Shawn at the event and gradually reveal her identity to the audience.

“Sure, Ms Pennyfeather I’ll interact a lot with you”
Maja glanced at him, noting how increasingly handsome he’d become. Success did breed attractiveness.
She chuckled lightly, nodding her approval for him to leave
But Shawn lingered, finally managing to say, “Ms. Pennyfeather, you seem a bit down lately I know a new dessert
place that’s really good. If you have time, I can take you there”
Maja rubbed her temples, sighing “No, thank you. I’ve got a lot on my plate at the company”
A shadow crossed Shawn’s eyes, and he left, looking crestfallen
After arranging her seat for the award ceremony, Maja called the head of the PR department
“Buy a trending topic saying Maja of Star Movie Group is pestering lan Make sure it stirs up lots of negative
comments”
If she had to play the ruthless businessman, she would use all means necessary.
