Chapter 52
She had not treated this as a serious problem at the time–even if this was the first time she failed and had been rejected. But after that, everything spiraled out of her control and was beyond what she could imagine would happen.
She sought out her boss and asked him to save her, but she only got more social calls than before.
The payoff for the social calls was better resources for other actresses in the agency.
She demanded an explanation from her boss, and he told her frankly, “You’ve been banned by Mr. Rogers. If you don’t deal with him, no one will dare hire you. But don’t worry, I will always remember your contributions to the agency. As long as our contract remains valid, your luxurious life will always be there.”
She knew exactly what she needed to trade to keep her “luxurious life“.
She still had dreams and aspirations. She did not want to be some call girl for the rest of her life.
So, she did everything she could to get the invitation for tonight’s banquet in order to see Kevan, to get him to have mercy on her. It would be even better if she could overcome her failures and successfully get into bed with him.
Luck must have smiled down on her today to give her the opportunity to meet Kevan before the banquet. She had to make good use of it, of course.
“I was really forced by my boss! He made me do everything! He threatened me and said that if I didn’t do as I was told, he would blacklist me indefinitely! I really had no
other choice…”
Karin looked up at Kevan with a face full of tears. She had acted in various productions and knew the best way to cry beautifully in order to invoke pity. But such a tactic had no effect on Kevan whatsoever. He always hated people who cried, and he definitely hated people who hugged him while crying and soiling his clothes in the
process.

nave security here?” he asked Vivian, who was a little stunned by his
Why would she need to hire security for a tiny modeling studio like hers? But she felt like if she said she did not, he would probably trash this whole place. So, she said, “I’ll call someone up!”
She sped down to the first floor, where most of the staff were, and said, “You, you,
you, and you, follow me to the third floor!”
When they rushed back upstairs, Kevan had already separated himself from Karin— he remained where he was, but Karin was sobbing quietly on the floor.
As for Larissa–she had not moved, quietly playing the role of a wallflower.
Vivian had no idea what had happened when she was absent, she was not in the mood to figure it out either.
“Hurry up and bring Ms. Gallagher downstairs. Let her rest before giving her a proper styling for a banquet!” she commanded her staff.
“Perhaps you did not understand my meaning, Ms. Watts.” Kevan smiled, but his eyes were frigid. “I asked you to call security to evict her–to ensure that she never returns to this establishment.”
Everyone present was stunned. Even Karin’s sobbing paused for two seconds.
Vivian gritted her teeth. “Do as Mr. Shi–I mean, Mr. Rogers says!”
But how could Karin let them have their way? She knew that this was her final chance. If she was really kicked out from here, her life was over.
She flung those hands away from her and crawled to Kevan, hugging his leg–this scene was rather familiar to Larissa–like she had gone through something similar
prior.
“Please, Mr. Rogers, have mercy on me! I really didn’t mean it! I did not have any inappropriate thoughts about you! As long as you can pretend nothing ever happened, I promise I will never provoke you again, please?” Karin cried pitifully.
