Simone's smile widened as she read the message sent by Zac. In response, she texted, 'I feel the same way!' She even added a fist emoji and a smiley face. Zac chuckled, "Simone likes the idea too. Her emojis are so adorable." Felix realized that Zac was completely infatuated. "Go for it, then. I wonder who caught her attention." It was undeniable that Simone's personality and approach aligned perfectly with his. The Gray Family tried to suppress and silence her, hoping she would give in. However, Simone didn't back down. Instead, she stood her ground. Do you want to silence me? I'll start my own business, then. Bring it on. I'm not afraid of you! That seemed to be her way of working, so it was no wonder someone like Zac, who usually didn't show interest in women, took notice of her. Meanwhile, Zac continued texting Simone. Zac: Are you interested in anyone? If you are, tell me. As long as it's not one of the top stars of Gray Entertainment, I'll help you recruit them. As long as they weren't A-listers, he would spend money and resources to bring them to Simone. Her studio wasn't suitable for A-list artists anyway. Simone felt touched by his offer. Zac might appear arrogant and have a sharp tongue to others, but he was kind to his friends. Of course, he also had a mischievous side. Simone: I've already shortlisted three people, and none of them are artists that Gray Entertainment values, so you don't need to intervene this time.Then, she added: Otherwise, it would be a waste of your talents. After reading the message, Zac turned to Felix and exclaimed smugly, "Look at my girl. It's a shame that I have no way to show off." Felix shuddered. "You better stop talking, or I might lose my appetite." This boy simply wanted to show off how amazing the girl he liked was and how he had a good eye for women! Zac glanced at him and commented disdainfully, "A single man like you wouldn't understand." Felix mused, You're talking as if you're not single yourself! However, it would be pointless to explain to a man trapped in the bitterness of unrequited love. After boasting, Zac continued texting Simone, 'Simone, you truly live up to your reputation. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help.' Felix smirked. "Tsk tsk. Even Mr. Turner has to beg for someone to accept his help." "Do your older brothers and sisters know? How about your beloved grandfather and grandmother?" If they knew, they might be shocked. Zac sneered and bragged, "Do you think my family is like the Fosters, who don't have good taste in women? As long as it's someone I like, my family will like her too." Felix choked on his words. He's right. Zac resembled a little tyrant at home. Simone: If necessary, I won't hesitate to seek your help. Zac: Alright. I'll be waiting. When you're free, let's have a meal together. The four of us! Simone: Sure, no problem!Zac: Alright, see you when I see you. Goodnight! Simone: Sure thing. Goodnight! Felix raised an eyebrow. "Is that it? Aren't you going to chat a little longer?" Zac reluctantly put his phone down. "You don't understand." He could tell that Simone wasn't romantically interested in him for now because she was focused on her career. Moreover, she recently went through a breakup, so it would be unlikely for her to enter into a new relationship immediately. Hence, he decided to stand by her as a friend and support her through her hardships. Seeing his expression, Felix leaned closer and guessed, "Are you trying to slowly win her over?" Zac pushed him away. "What are you talking about? I'll give Simone the best of everything because she deserves it. A single soul like you wouldn't understand."Felix was speechless. He really prioritized women over his best buddy. How could he mock him for being single? Waving his hand, Felix uttered, "Just leave already, b*stard." He might end up punching Zac in the face if he stayed any longer. Zac stood up and joked, "Fine. I'll leave. If it weren't for Simone, why would I waste time sitting here with an old man like you?" Felix picked up the contract in his hand and threw it at him. "Get lost!" Zac swatted the contract away. "This contract is useless now. You can keep it." Then, he left swiftly. Felix couldn't help but find the young man amusing. He could just discard anything once he was done with it. On the other side, after ending the conversation with Zac, Simone curiously opened the contract and took a look.After reading it, she couldn't help but sigh, "Sc*mbag No. 2 told me before that the contract they gave me would be unmatched by any other company." "All the special treatment and whatnot." "I really wish to smash this contract onto his face and let him take a good look himself." She knew what kind of contract Gray Entertainment gave their top artist. The contract Zac sent her had similar treatment to Gray Entertainment's top artist and offered even more freedom. It meant that Star Entertainment's contract for her was better than what Sc*mbag No. 2 offered. Gwen leaned over to take a look. "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to resist slapping it in his face." Simone asked, "Should I do it, then?" Gwen nodded. "Do it. Give him a good slap."Simone felt quite satisfied with the idea. "I'll ask Zac if I can slap it in Sc*mbag No. 2's face. If he agrees with me, I'll proceed to carry out the plan. I could use this opportunity to make him think that I'm joining Star Entertainment. In that case, he would never imagine that I've launched my own studio and am looking into poaching their celebrities." Otherwise, he would definitely try to make things difficult for her. "Sounds like a good plan," Gwen commented. With that, Simone messaged Zac again and told him the plan. There was no way Zac would object to her idea. He even wanted Simone to use him to embarrass others. Therefore, he gave her permission to slap the contract in Titus' face, and he would bear the consequences that followed.Anyway, Titus wouldn't dare to confront him and Felix openly; hence, Zac agreed. Suddenly recalling something, Simone uttered, "I blocked Sc*mbag No. 2 from my follower list before." "I have it," answered Gwen. Simone grinned. "I'll re-add him, give him a slap in the face, and then block him again. He'll definitely be even angrier." Gwen's eyes lit up. "That's a brilliant plan. I love it!" She then handed Simone Sc*mbag No. 2's business card. Simone proceeded to add him as a friend. Meanwhile, Titus and Reuben were discussing matters in the study. When Titus heard the sound of a phone notification, he opened it and was initially surprised. A smirk appeared on his face. "She was talking so tough earlier, so I didn't expect her to give in so quickly. I knew she wouldn't hold out for long." Reuben looked away from the documents. "Who is it?" Titus replied meaningfully, "Our spirited little sister." Reuben had previously heard from Titus about how Simone had deceived and angered him. After a moment of thought, he said, "Since she has willingly given in, you shouldn't be too harsh on her either. She's our little sister, after all. Let's not go too far." Titus wasn't used to Simone being away from home these days. He wanted to continue receiving her affectionate text messages, her homemade meals, and the health supplements she prepared. He added, "If you make her leave again, even Mom and Dad won't forgive you this time." Titus sneered, "I wouldn't dare to provoke her again. I'd be happy as long as she isn't mad at me." Recalling what had happened before made him furious. But since she had apologized first, he wanted to regain his dignity from that day. If she didn't try to sweet talk him, he would withhold that contract from her.
