Chapter 786
Maja went silent for a bit, then, realizing it was true, responded with a “hmm.”
This cheered lan up a bit. He was about to say something else when the phone hung up. For a while after that, he was multitasking, handling documents, and checking his phone. About ten minutes later, he tried to send her a message with just a question mark.
The phone still showed message sent but rejected by the recipient.
lan frowned, glancing at the time on his phone. Didn’t he just call her?
On Maja’s end, she’d been busy dealing with a contract with Elvis and forgot about it after hanging up.
After the contract was done, someone took her to meet Elvis.
Maja started thinking about one of Elvis’s female artists, Wilma.
Wilma had only starred in one TV show, as the third female lead. Her performance was memorable, and most importantly, she wasn’t a graduate of an art school. Being memorable in her first TV show showed she definitely had talent.

But Maja had a hunch that Elvis was hiding something from her.
L
If he thought this female artist was talented, why didn’t he introduce her to the company?
After all, he knew about Simstar Entertainment’s methods. If this promising artist stayed there, her talent might be wasted.
Half an hour later, Elvis announced on Twitter that he had signed with Star Movie Group.
This sent the netizens into a frenzy, as Elvis was a popular top–tier agent.
Wasn’t he still breaking his contract with Simstar Entertainment? How could he sign with Star Movie Group so quickly, and Simstar Entertainment be okay with it? Maja had registered a Twitter account before, and due to the issue with Simstar Entertainment, she had already gained 200,000 followers.
She retweeted Elvis’s tweet and added a few flower emojis.
However, these flower emojis stirred up a storm.
Because they were roses and netizens loved to speculate, soon people began to guess.
“Is the president of Star Movie Group dating Elvis? The president is a woman, right?”
“Did Elvis break the contract with Simstar Entertainment because of her? Looks like they’re really in love.”
“Are they announcing their relationship? Even posted rose emojis.”
Maja didn’t realize how imaginative the netizens could be. She rarely chatted with people or used emojis; she thought this small emoji just expressed happiness. By the time the rumors about her and Elvis hit the trending list, she realized what was happening. But it was too late to delete it, which only drew more attention. Elvis was really popular at the moment, and coupled with a female president, their trending topic shot straight to number one.
When lan found out about this, his face immediately darkened.
Jeff didn’t dare look him in the eye and quickly tried to explain.
“Sir, this might just be netizens talking nonsense. From what it seems, Elvis is a staunch bachelor. He told the media that a long time ago.” “Really?”
lan was a bit uncertain because young girls nowadays tended to prefer mature and stable men.
Considering Maja’s upbringing, she might be lacking in affection. If a mature man showed her care, she might be touched.
With that thought, he felt his guard go up.
But on the surface, he acted calm, continuing to browse the news on the trending list.
Jeff didn’t say anything more.
After a while, lan asked, “Do you think he’s better than me?”
Jeff didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
But as a responsible assistant, he had to solve the boss’s problems.
“You two are different types of people; I believe Ms. Pennyfeather would definitely prefer you.”
lan suddenly felt very irritated. He had sent flowers and gifts and even helped her save 400 million last night. Yet she wouldn’t even take him off her blacklist.
