Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

The next day, Zoe arrived at the office early in the morning.

She felt something was wrong as soon as she entered the office, as everyone inside was whispering about something.

When they saw Zoe enter, their faces changed slightly, and their mouths shut up immediately, leaving her odd glances.

Zoe’s eyebrows sank as she entered her office without looking sideways.

As soon as she sat down, she pressed the Extension to call Elsa.

Elsa came in with strained discomfort, looking at Zoe with sympathy in her eyes.

Zoe felt her behaviour was a bit funny. She leaned back in her chair and looking at her with scrutiny, “What’s going on? We haven’t met for two days, and you’re looking at me like this?”

Elsa smiled awkwardly and said with embarrassment.

“Zoe, have you… heard of anything in advance today?”

Zoe raised her eyebrow, picked up the cup on the table and got up to get some water.

She replied casually on her way. “No! What’s the matter?”

“Uh… nothing serious! I heard that a new employee would come to the company today. It seems she will work in the PR department.”

“Really? Did everyone get the message?”

“I heard about it from gossips of the HR department. The guy is a veteran in the PR industry. he seems to be quite experienced and has done numerous cases for many A-list performers.”

She paused for a second and hesitantly looked at Zoe, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

“Miss Zoe, what exactly Mr. Anderson means by hiring such a person? Do you know?”

Everyone in the company knew that Century Entertainment’s PR department was run by Zoe, as they knew Zoe’s background well.

However, Zoe always remained a low-key attitude towards this issue and didn’t discuss anything beyond business during work hours.

No matter what background she had, she was still in her twenties and didn’t have much experience.

In the PR industry where seniority mattered, who would believe that Steven would hire such a big shot to serve as Zoe’s subordinate?

If she was not a subordinate, then she would only be…

Zoe finally understood why everyone looked at in a strange way today.

She averted her eyes, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She smiled faintly and said, “I undestand. You can go out now!”

Seeing her calm expression, Elsa felt worried, but she knew that it was not her turn to speak. She could just leave with worries.

After Elsa left, Zoe pondered for a moment before smiling.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Gathering her belongings briefly, she took out the envelope she prepared earlier from her bag and headed for the conference room.

Nine o’clock in the morning

The meeting room was already filled with executives of the Century Entertainment.

Seeing her coming in, everyone greeted her with sincerity and hypocrisy.

After all, the courage she had shown in the past two years impressed most of them, but there were still a small portion that felt she was simply a young and naive girl, she was a little unqualified for such an important position.

Zoe had no time to think about what these people were thinking, and walked to her seat and sat down.

Just then, the door of the conference room opened again.

When she raised his eyes, he saw Steven walking in with a group of people.

Zoe’s pupils shrank and her face went cold.

Following behind Steven, between his two secretaries, were Annie and her agent Julia.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Julia became famous as a PR professional.

In the last generation, more than half of the A-list performers were promoted by her, which were great achievements.

However, she transformed to be an agent later.

Not knowing whether the entertainment industry changed too fast, or due to fierce competition, or other elements, none of the performers she took charge of became well-known. Now the most famous performer she was in charge of was Annie.

So the bigwig Steven hired was her?

Zoe curled his lips with mockery.

The rest of the executives were a bit confused when they saw Annie and Julia.

Annie was naturally known to everyone, an A-list star in the entertainment industry. Although she only started her career for four years, her popularity always remained high.

It was said that she was the daughter of the Gil family. With the powerful background, although she was currently not signed to any agency, she had already set up her own studio.

As long as she was willing to spend money, she was never short of resources.

The other one, Julia, remained unknown to some of them.

After all, it had been a decade since Julia was at the peak of her career.

The entertainment industry was changing rapidly, and most of the people in the room haven’t worked for more than eight years.

Therefore, only those who had worked for more than 10 years could realize what was going to happen today after they saw Julia and associated it with rumors in the office.

They all looked at Zoe with a trace of sympathy.

Anyone could see that Zoe was really managing the company wholeheartedly.

Two years ago, she came during the company’s most difficult time and did her utmost to rescue the company from desperate situation, keeping the remaining valuable performers for the company.

She handled most cases for the company.

When an artist in the company had an accident, they always come straight Miss Zoe to solve it?

Anyone would feel sorry for her if she was fired after the company’s situation got better.

However, if there is discontent, there is gloating.

The few people who didn’t get along well with Zoe immediately went up to greet Julia and Annie with smiling faces, uttering such sentences as “I’m looking forward to seeing you”, “Finally, I meet you today” and all sorts of greetings.

Annie replied to them one by one, seemingly gentle and generous. Only when she looked at Zoe, a hint of smugness flowed unconsciously from the depths of her eyes.

Zoe lowered her eyes and pretended to see nothing.

She looked at the watch on her hand with an expressionless face. After a while, she finally heard Shawn coughed.

“Okay, time’s up, let’s start the meeting!”

It was then everyone sat back to their seats.

Steven glanced at Zoe, a hint of complexity flashing through his gaze. But in the end, he hid his guilt and said in a deep voice.

“Let me start today’s meeting with an introduction. This is Annie. I think everyone present should know her.”

The crowd echoed, “Of course! Miss Anne is so famous and has become a household name.”

“I’ve always seen her on TV and never meet her in real life. Well, she’s much prettier in person than on TV.”

“No wonder she is the most popular star at present!”

The crowd slithered, and Steven nodded with satisfaction.

“I called everyone here today to announce two matters. First, Annie will sign a contract with Century Entertainment to become an important first-tier performer from now on.”

The crowd was stunned at first, but then followed by thunderous applause.

“Well, is that true? That would be great!”

“Miss Anne has already been so well-known. As a member of the Century Entertainment, I believe we will all make great achievements together and benefit each other!”
