The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1119

Chapter 1119 

Chloe got back to the office, but Herschel’s face was all she could think about. Why the hell was he avoiding her when he was clearly looking for her? Why was he acting so weird? 

Work had her running around like a headless chicken, so she didn’t have time to figure this mess out. 

Herschel said he’d hole up at The Watson Hotel, so she could catch him there after work. Shouldn’t be too late. 

Katie and Miles killed it at the Paris Fashion Week. The dazzling outfits on the final day and Miles‘ killer makeup skills had the Starlight International talents turning heads all over. 

The media couldn’t get enough of them. The plan was to ride Winston’s superstar wave, but now it seemed like Winston was the one riding their coattails. Looking at Winston’s stony face on the magazine cover, Chloe chuckled bitterly. His ego must’ve taken a hit. He was definitely gonna give her a hard time when he came back 

She then had the Public Relations Department announce tomorrow’s celebration at The Watson Hotel. Starlight International’s reputation was skyrocketing, becoming the dark horse everyone in the entertainment and fashion industry was talking about. 

Meanwhile, over at Infinity Media, things were gloomy as hell. Beverly and Jacob didn’t exactly shine at the fashion week, but they didn’t screw up either. They were just overshadowed by Starlight International’s glowing success. 

The overseas media didn’t give them the time of day, and back home, if it weren’t for Beverly snatching Jeanette’s endorsement, they’d probably be totally ignored. 

Right now, Infinity Media was obviously riding Starlight International’s wave. And this wave was something neither Infinity Media nor RM wanted. They’d become the laughingstock instead. 

Adding to the misery was yesterday’s sudden drama at Austin’s Hardware. Melinda from Infinity Media was now stuck between a rock and a hard place. Compared to Starlight International, the mood at Infinity Media was rotten. 

Especially when they heard Starlight International was throwing a celebration at The Watson Hotel, the staff at Infinity Media must’ve been squirming. That place was one of the rarest seven–star hotels in the world! 

A celebration at a seven–star hotel? Damn, that was some envy–inducing stuff. Made some of them want to jump ship, didn’t it? 

-Wendy, having returned from Starlight International yesterday, was seething. Seeing any news related to Starlight International today, on top of being 

overshadowed by the media, she was about to explode. And the people in the office? They were giving her a headache. 

Early in the morning, Melinda stormed into the office. 

“Tell me, do you have some personal beef with Chloe?” Melinda demanded, leaning on the desk, glaring at Wendy. 

Wendy looked annoyed and indifferent. “Who the hell told you to talk to me like that?” 

“Answer me!” Melinda slapped the desk. She wasn’t scared of Wendy’s icy stare, her voice growing louder instead. 

Wendy stayed silent, which only pissed Melinda off more. 

“You started stealing all the gigs and endorsements from Starlight International. Then you sent Beverly to snatch Jeanette’s endorsement! Yesterday, you egged me on to go pick a fight with Chloe at Starlight International! Wendy, are you insane? Using people’s lives as pawns in your feud!” 

Wendy’s eyebrows twitched. No one had ever accused her like this before. She didn’t understand why Melinda got to treating her like this! Wendy stood up, glaring at Melinda, “I’m your boss now, and your fate is in my hands! Do you think you’re still that arrogant and rude rich kid? That everyone has to put up with you?!” 

Melinda’s eyes flickered. Her family’s assets were frozen, leaving her penniless. She only had the money she earned in the entertainment circle over the years, but she had always been a spendthrift, saving hardly anything. 

There was no chance for Austin to turn things around, not after crossing the Harper Group. And relying on her father was out of the question. Even though she saw the entertainment circle as a game before, now, she had to treat it as a job. 

Melinda’s fury was dying down. Wendy sneered, “I told you before, keep a low profile in this industry! Stop pissing people off! Now Huh, Chloe was right, everyone wants to kick you when you’re down!” 

Melinda’s face changed. She laughed coldly, “So you still want me to go after Chloe? Wendy, are all the company’s talents just your tools to fight Chloe? Do you really think you can beat her? She stole the show at fashion week, didn’t she? Even if you ignore her position as the president of Starlight International, just as Mrs. Harper, she could crush you! Are you still thinking about competing with her?!” 

Wendy’s face suddenly went cold, “What about Mrs. Harper? She’s just Damon’s fiancée after all!” 

Melinda froze for a moment, then burst into laughter, “I knew it… you really do know about Chloe’s ties with the big boss of the Harper Group! Wendy, you are such… a snake!” 

Wendy’s neck veins bulged in anger. She roared, “Get out!” 

Melinda cneered at her, eyes full of mockery, “Wendy… Are you really going head–to–head with Chloe because you want to snag the CEO of the Harper Group for yourself? Dream on. You can’t hold a candle to Chloe in terms of competence, and even in looks, she’s not less than you! Most importantly, they’re thick as thieves right now. Are you… trying to wedge yourself in?” 

Wendy’s face turned red, seething with anger, “I don’t even need to wait for Chloe to take you down. I can make you disappear from the public eye myself!” 

Melinda straightened up slowly, eyes full of defiance, “You better play nice with me, or else, I’ll spill the beans about your real reasons for fighting Chloe. You, the high and mighty Wendy, actually have the hots for someone else’s man and use your own artists to target her, treating them like pawns in a game of love! If you ever manage to take down Chloe, do you think the CEO of the Harper Group will give you the time of day?”
