Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 216 Everyone Else Can Get Lost

Maia looked at Cedric cautiously. She did not want him to try anything on her! She knew that she was no match for him physically.

She glared at him and warned, “Cedric, don’t make me hate you even more!”

“Do you still hate me that much?” he asked. Even though he was smiling, she saw the sadness. that briefly flashed across his eyes.

Maia remained silent as she frowned. She noticed that her hate toward him was not as strong as it used to be.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Just then, Cedric’s phone rang. He checked the caller ID and frowned. He released her wrist, making sure that he had not hurt her before picking up the call.

“Mr. Cedric, a few of the artists from the company are spreading rumors about Ms. Maia forcing them into sleeping with her! The company’s and Ms. Maia’s Twitter accounts are a mess!” Buck’s voice was so loud, even Maia could hear him.

She quickly tidied herself up and walked toward Cedric, “Let me talk to my staff.” “You sure you want to use the cell phone of someone you despise?” Cedric looked at her as he teased. He tried to hide the hurt he felt with humor.

Mala knew that he was hurt the moment she looked at him. Unfortunately for him, she continued, “Even if | hate you, | don’t hate your phone.”

He just smiled as he placed the phone next to her ear without handing it to her. “Go on.”

Maia tried to pry the phone out of his hand, but his grip was firm. Finally, she gave in and

talked to Buck.

“Hello, Mr. Cedric, are you still there?”

“It's me, Maia.”

“Ms. Maia? | thought you went to Osttah!? Did you manage to regain your memories?” Buck asked eagerly.

“Yes.”

“That’s great! | can’t believe it! Osttahl must be a special place to have helped you regain your memories!” Buck added happily.

Maia sighed. There was nothing magical about Osttahl. However, Cedric was here. The stubborn guy was determined to not hand over his phone.

“Tell me, what exactly is going on?” +15 BONUS

“When Phil Read was still in charge, he invested a huge sum on some of our company’s artists, but they did not create any headlines nor gain much popularity. Who would’ve guessed that all of a sudden, the three of them would spread false rumors about you.

“They claimed that you've forced them to sleep with you using your power as CEO on July 15th, 10th and 17th respectively. They said the company had taken advantage of them!

“Our PR team is doing their best, but | suggest that you try not to go online or watch TV. The reason | called was to ask Mr. Cedric what we should do next.”

“Got it. I'll get back to Solisar as soon as possible.”

“Hope would be really happy to hear that you’ve regained your memories. Since this blew up, she’s been in a foul mood. She made so many new Twitter accounts just to post comments to debunk those rumors. She’d be happy to hear about you coming back,” Buck added cheerfully.

“If ’m not mistaken, isn’t it already late at night back in Solisar?” Maia checked her watch and commented. The person on the other line immediately piped down. “Buck Harvey, even though Hope is managed by Nebula Entertainment, she is still part of Starlight Entertainment's artists!”

“Ms. Maia don’t worry. I’ve been really careful whenever she comes over. | would always check for paparazzi before she enters my place.”

“Whenever she comes over? You mean she’s been coming over to your place often?” Maia quickly caught the subtext of his sentence.

“I-I. Ms. Maia, the line is breaking up. Let’s text instead!”

Moments later, the line went dead.

After the call, Maia took out her phone and went on Twitter to assess the damage. It was just as Buck had said, the news was all over the place and her PR team could not handle the amount of new tweets popping up.

“Wow, Maia Burgess is capable of sleeping with 3 artists at once! They’re all under the management of her company too! Talk about company benefits!”

“Maia Burgess is disgusting! Abusing her power to oppress her company’s artists. This time. she won't be able to get away with it! Talk about having the boss from hell!”

“| just became a fan of the warring couple! How could something like this happen? Poor Mr. Cedric. Does he know what his ex— wife is like?”

“How could it possibly be Maia Burgess? | won't believe this! I’m going to wait for an explanation!” +15 BONUS

Maia looked at the photos of the three male artists that were attached with the link and commented disappointingly, “Even if | wanted to sleep with my artists, | wouldn’t choose them. | really don’t understand Phil's taste. Of all the artists we have, why them?”

There was a saying in this industry. If an artist was able to be popular for a short while, it was the craipany’s good PR. If an artist is popular for a long time, then he or she was meant to be

a star.

These three were in a category of their own. No matter how much the company tried to promote them, it would just be a waste of resources!

Maia logged into her own Twitter account with the intention of explaining the situation. However, before she could do that, a new top tweet was sent to her feeds.

“Cedric Larkin had personally addressed the scandal that Maia Burgess was caught in!” Cedric had used HL’s corporate Twitter account to refute the rumors.

“From July 15th to 17th, Maia Burgess was with me. If she had wanted to sleep with someone, it could’ve only been me. Everyone else can get lost. Cedric.”
