Chapter 896 -896: Being Ridiculed

A glimmer of greed flashed in Zora Hughes’ eyes, as she realized that if she could become the CEO of both entertainment companies, not only would she be able to quickly establish herself in Libanan, take advantage of her existing resources to develop her own studio, but also get closer to Mr. Caleb Mamet.

She smiled lightly, hurried upstairs to change into a new outfit, and headed to Natural Sound Entertainment. As Miss Hughes, she not only knew the director of Natural Sound Entertainment but was also a friend of the chairman of Windrop Entertainment and the internationally renowned designer Sally. There was no one more suitable for the position of CEO than her.

…

Meanwhile, Xaviera Evans had arrived at Natural Sound Entertainment. As soon as she entered, all eyes were on her. “Is she a newly signed artist of the company? She’s quite pretty, who brought her in?”

“You don’t know? Look at her clothes and accessories, there’s no way she’s a newbie star. She’s Mrs. Mamet, wife of Mr. Caleb Mamet!”

“What is Mrs. Mamet doing here? Today is the big day of the merger between Natural Sound and Windrop Entertainment. The new CEO will be arriving soon, we don’t have time to entertain this madam!”

...

A woman sneered, “What’s the use of looking good? I heard that Mr. Mamet was seen shopping with another woman yesterday. Isn’t that cheating?”

“The Mamet Corporation released a clarification statement that night, saying that the woman was actually Mrs. Mamet, but no one believed it. If it was really her, why wear a scarf and sunglasses, hiding like she couldn’t be seen? I knew Mr. Mamet was just temporarily fascinated by her. Once the novelty wears off, he will lose interest.”

“These wealthy wives should just stay at home, drink coffee and play cards. What is she doing here at the company? Does she even know how to run an entertainment company? Maybe she found out that Mr. Mamet gave the company to someone else, so she intentionally came to cause trouble?”

“Shh… keep your voice down, don’t let her hear. After all, she’s still Mrs. Mamet, if we annoy her, we’ll be in big trouble!”

“So what? Mr. Mamet doesn’t even like her anymore. If she creates a scene in the company, they might divorce. Then we won’t have to be afraid of her, right? And do you guys know who the new CEO is? I bet Mrs. Mamet won’t be in that position for long.”

“Ha! That’s right! If she dares to make a scene, let Director Marshall kick her out!”

The whispers reached Xaviera Evans’ ears, but she remained composed, a cold smile appearing on her lips. How did Yigol Mamet manage his company’s employees? They spent more time gossiping than actually working. The name tags on their clothes revealed they were from the PR department.

Xaviera Evans sat quietly on the sofa in the lobby, waiting for Yigol Mamet. Suddenly, the sound of loud footsteps approached. Xaviera looked up to see a woman in a beige suit with an icy expression on her face walking towards her, her eyes filled with disdain and annoyance.

The woman wore a PR department name tag. Xaviera guessed that this must be the rumored Director Marshall, and she had an inkling that she’d seen the woman before. Upon closer inspection, she realized that they had seen each other yesterday at the supermarket, and this woman had been sneakily following them the whole time. At the time, Xaviera hadn’t paid her any mind, but now, it turned out that she was the director of the PR department at Natural Sound Entertainment.

Fenny Marshall strode up to Xaviera with an imposing demeanor, asking impatiently, “Mrs. Mamet, do you have any business at the company?”

A hint of coldness flashed in Xaviera’s eyes as she casually replied, “I’m here to work.”

Hearing this, Director Marshall couldn’t help but sneer, “Mrs. Mamet, you’re here to work? There’s no position suitable for you here. You wouldn’t happen to be here because of Windrop Entertainment, would you?”

Upon the mention of Windrop Entertainment, everyone’s eyes turned toward her, filled with mockery.

Fenny Marshall scoffed, “Mrs. Mamet, are you trying to say that you are the CEO sent by Windrop Entertainment? Although you are Mrs. Mamet, the company must be handed over to someone capable. Do you think you have the ability to run a business? Natural Sound is a large-scale entertainment company; not just anyone can work here.”

Xaviera rested her cheek on her hand, unfazed by the comments, and replied calmly, “The company does need to be handed over to someone capable. Since Director Marshall says so, why don’t you go pack up your things, go to the HR department, and get your paycheck.”

Fenny Marshall’s face darkened. Xaviera was actually mocking her for not being competent enough to stay at Natural Sound? She had joined the company through a legitimate recruitment process and worked her way up to the director position over many years. Xaviera, merely because she was Mrs. Mamet, dared to dream of skyrocketing directly to the role of CEO?
