Chapter 127
Only then did Alyssa notice that Karl was holding a bottle of ointment in his other hand.
It turned out to be putting medicine on her.
Alyssa sat up straight, still drew back slightly, and said, “I’ll do it myself.”
Karl went to her forehead and pressed that fiercely, but she was really not merciful at all, she was always afraid that he was not serious.
“Sit down!”
Karl looked at Alyssa coldly as if he hadn’t heard her, and she stopped talking.
He put a plaster on his finger, and gently rubbed it against the swollen bag on her forehead, rubbing very gently, a little painful, but not unbearable.
Despite this, Alyssa was still a little uneasy, her eyes kept blinking, her long eyelashes trembling and looking a bit pitiful.
Karl’s expression also eased a bit, but his voice was heavy but not cold.
“You are not allowed to go to the bar with Tina in the future.”
Karl didn’t know the people who made the trouble today, but he knew how deep the water in the entertainment industry was. Many people have no bottom line for the sake of being in the upper ranks. No one can say what they will do if they are anxious.
Fortunately, this stupid woman still knows to call him.
Karl also knew that Peter bought Tina’s contract. He heard Theresa’s words before Alyssa’s phone was hung up.
At that time, his thoughts turned and he guessed that Alyssa might be with Tina, and Peter knew Tina best, so he called Peter directly.
Therefore, Peter would go to the bar first.
Alyssa frowned. She didn’t like Karl’s tone very much: “What happened today is an accident.”
Karl had already rubbed the ointment away. He slowly retracted his hand, and while wiping his hands with a tissue, he casually said, “Car accident, robbery, such an accident, which one is not an accident?”
“…” Can this kind of thing be compared with robbery and car accidents?
Alyssa was speechless for a while.
Karl didn’t mean to wait for her to speak. He smelled the wine on her body and said coldly, “Go take a shower.”
…
The next day.
Alyssa got up and looked in the mirror to look at the big bag on her forehead. The medicine Karl rubbed on her had an effect, and it had disappeared a lot, but she still looked a little brutal.
It seems that makeup is unnecessary today.
When she went downstairs to the restaurant, she found that the breakfast was ready and placed it on the table.
Karl and Luther were sitting at the dining table and waiting for her.
Luther eagerly opened the chair beside him: “Sister Alyssa, morning.”
The longer she gets along with Luther, Alyssa feels that he is a very good child, but occasionally gets a little skinny.
She was about to walk to Luther’s side when she heard a slight noise coming from Karl.
Turning her head, she found that Karl had also pulled away from the chair beside him.
Karl’s meaning couldn’t be more obvious, he wanted Alyssa to sit next to him.
Alyssa twitched at the corner of her mouth. Karl screamed with the kid this morning. Did he take the wrong medicine?
Looking at Luther’s grinning face, and then at Karl’s expressionless face, Alyssa sat next to Luther without hesitation.
As soon as Alyssa sat down, it was obvious that the atmosphere on the dining table had become depressed.
She and Luther looked at each other at the same time, and then immersed in their breakfast.
Karl’s temper was really…too weird.
…
After eating breakfast, Karl drove away first. Alyssa and Luther were delivered by another driver.
At the office door, Alyssa got out of the car, and the driver drove the car away. She turned and was about to walk into the building when she heard a strange woman’s voice behind her: “Miss Alyssa.”
Alyssa turned her head and saw a woman in an elite costume in a lady’s suit standing behind her.
“Hello, you are…” Alyssa was sure that she didn’t know the person in front of her.
The woman’s hair was meticulously combed, making her look a little serious: “I am Gerald’s agent, Ruba.”
Although Alyssa had never seen her, she knew the word “Ruba”.
She is a fan of Gerald, and occasionally clicks in to read posts and news about Gerald on the Internet.
Ruba is a gold broker in the entertainment industry. Gerald was brought out by her. She is shrewd and capable, and the public has a high opinion of her.
Seeing a trace of her expression, Ruba guessed that Alyssa might know her, so she stopped wiping around and said directly, “Gerald has something to do with you.”
“Gerald?”
Ruba nodded: “Well, you come with me.”
Ruba took Alyssa to a nanny car.
When the car door opened, she saw Gerald.
He has always had a gentle smile on his face: “I have something to ask you, but it won’t take you too much time.”
“Oh, what is it?”
Gerald was so famous that it was not convenient to speak here with the door open, so Alyssa got into the car.
When she sat down, Gerald asked her aloud, “Isabel is your sister?”
“Yes.” Alyssa was a little surprised: “What happened to her?”
Gerald did not answer her question directly, but asked: “Your company has something wrong, so you want to ask me to endorse your product?”
Alyssa frowned: “How do you know?”
His tone was very gentle, and he was very talkative: “Just tell me, isn’t it?”
“…Yes.” Alyssa vaguely guessed that Isabel might have done something stupid again, and Gerald would know about it.
She pursed her lips and explained: “This is just a proposal from someone in the company. I know you won’t…”
Gerald, who has been listening attentively to her, interrupted her at this moment: “If you want me to endorse the products, I can give it a try.”
Give it a try?
Shock was written on Alyssa’s face. What does Gerald mean?
What does it mean if she wants him to endorse Hunt’s products, he can try it?
Does it mean that if she asked him to help Hunt family, he would be willing to help?
Soon, Alyssa wanted to understand, Gerald would say this, most likely because of her relationship with Karl.
“You don’t need to be like this. The Hunt family will have this situation today, which is also self-sufficient, and it will also have a positive impact on your reputation.” She thanked Gerald for his kindness, but could not pull him into the water.
Gerald laughed suddenly, with a gentle appearance that could easily make people lower their guard.
He fixedly looked at Alyssa: “It’s not because of Karl, I am here for you today. If you need it, I can help you. Fame is not that important to me.”
The smile in his eyes was not cleared, but his eyes were very focused, as if he was looking at Alyssa, or at others through Alyssa.
No matter who he is looking at, just his words are enough to make people think.
Chapter 128
With a heartbeat, Alyssa quickly refused: “I am very grateful for the kindness of my eldest brother, but I really don’t need it. I’m going to work now, or I’ll be late.”
After she finished speaking, she said goodbye to Ruba again, then opened the door and hurriedly got out of the car and left.
Gerald looked at Alyssa’s hurried departure from the car window, and the smile in his eyes gradually faded.
He knew that Alyssa and Karl had been in conflict recently because of Karl’s deception.
However, just to distance him from herself, she also followed to call him “Big Brother”.
…
Alyssa entered the Hunt’s, still a little confused.
How could Gerald say such strange things to her?
The way he looked at her before, it was like looking at another person through her.
Alyssa was in a daze, but didn’t notice Isabel who was walking towards her.
It wasn’t until she spoke out that Alyssa’s attention was caught.
“Alyssa, how are you doing the task that dad assigned you?”
In front of her, Isabel always looked like a tall posture, with her chin raised high, she didn’t want to press Alyssa all the time.
Alyssa thought of what Gerald had said before, and a little inquiring flashed in her squinted eyes: “It’s not great, if you are willing, you can ask your dad for orders, and take this task for yourself.”
This was originally an impossible task, but it was forced on Alyssa by Colin.
Rarely, Isabel didn’t lose her temper. Instead, she fluffed her hair with confidence in her tone: “I will go if I want to. Don’t think that you can do things that others can’t.”
Alyssa felt that these words were appropriate to Isabel.
“Oh, good luck, then.” Alyssa’s indifferent tone immediately angered Isabel.
However, Alyssa didn’t give her a chance to get angry, so she lifted her foot and left.
…
After Isabel took over the task of persuading Gerald to endorse Hunt’s products, she barely showed up in the company.
Alyssa didn’t care much either.
Although she still had doubts about what Gerald said to her that day, she did not take it seriously.
She is very self-aware, and she does not think that Gerald will have any ambiguous feelings for her in such a few short contacts.
There are countless beautiful female stars in the entertainment circle who love Gerald.
Alyssa felt that compared with them, she was simply too ordinary.
On this day, as soon as Alyssa arrived at the company, she was called to the office by Colin.
Colin smiled with joy: “Alyssa, come here, I have something to tell you.”
“What’s the matter with dad?” Alyssa couldn’t guess for a moment what would make Colin so happy.
“As for Gerald to endorse company’s products, your sister has already negotiated, and she has been exhausted recently, so I decided to leave the follow-up matters to you.”
In Colin’s expression, it was difficult to conceal his joy: “I’m relieved when you do things!”
Alyssa frowned, thinking that this was simply impossible: “Gerald promised to take over company’s product endorsement?”
Except for Gerald’s initiative to ask her if she needs help, with Gerald’s position, even if he really wanted to endorse Hunt’s, his agent and company would not agree.
What’s more, his contracted company is AdamPic Media.
Peter is the boss of AdamPic Media. It is impossible for him to let the people below help Gerald take on this kind of endorsement that destroys his image once.
“Yes, this is all due to your sister’s work. You must negotiate with Gerald.”
“I see.” Alyssa just nodded, without saying more.
…
Back home, Alyssa went directly to the study to find Karl.
He must know something about Gerald.
Karl had just returned, and when Alyssa opened the door to enter, he just finished answering a call.
Turning to see Alyssa, he said aloud: “You’re back.”
“I have something to ask you.” Alyssa walked directly to him.
Hearing the words, Karl nodded slightly invisible, and motioned for Alyssa to ask directly.
“Did you know that Gerald took over Hunt’s product endorsements?” Alyssa asked straightforwardly without an oblivious mind.
Karl was taken aback for a moment, and there was not much surprise on his face: “I don’t know.”
“What’s going on? How could Peter let Gerald take over Hunt’s endorsement? If he does take over this endorsement, it will have an impact on his acting career and his style of comment!”
Alyssa felt sorry and worthless for Gerald, and her tone became a little anxious.
Karl looked at her fixedly for a few seconds, then narrowed his eyes to look at her: “You are a loyal fan of him. You care about his affairs so much.”
Alyssa didn’t bother to pay attention to the good or bad in his tone, and said: “I am his fan, yes, but he is also your cousin, don’t you care about this?”
“You also said that he is an elder brother, what can I do as his younger brother?” After Karl finished speaking, he turned and sat in front of the desk, as if he would not pay attention to her again.
Alyssa felt that Karl was really a weird person.
He looks like Gerald is very close, but Gerald doesn’t care about this kind of thing.
Karl treats her with good and bad times.
Forget it, Mr. Adams’ mind, she didn’t bother to guess, even if she wanted to guess, she couldn’t guess.
…
Alyssa was responsible for the follow-up work of Gerald’s endorsement, and Colin gave her privileges so that she could not care about the company’s affairs and just follow up until the endorsement matter was finalized.
In the morning, Alyssa arrived at the company, got the contact information of Gerald’s agent, and went out.
Alyssa met Ruba once and felt that she was a serious person.
She tried to dial Ruba’s phone and was picked up after a few rings.
“Hello, I’m Gerald’s agent, Ruba.”
Alyssa slowly said, “I am Alyssa.”
“It’s Miss Alyssa.” Ruba obviously still has an impression of her.
Alyssa directly explained her intention: “I heard that you have accepted Hunt’s product endorsement?”
“About this matter, you can talk to Gerald directly, I am outside now, I will send you his home address, you can go directly.”
Ruba didn’t give Alyssa a chance to speak at all, she hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
In less than a minute, she sent Alyssa the address of Gerald.
The address she sent was a well-known wealthy real estate area in Rostenvel, where many celebrities and upper-class elites lived.
After the address, Ruba also left Gerald’s phone number and asked her to call him directly.
After all, ordinary people can’t get into that kind of high-end community.
