Chapter 1246

The company had somehow managed to survive for the past few years. Although Shirley was now the most popular

actress, her business value was still low. Deciding to risk offending Xavier, the board of directors hesitantly

suggested replacing Shirley with someone new. Everyone was prepared for Xavier's wrath, since they all knew that

Shirley was his favorite.

However, to their shock, he wholeheartedly supported the idea.

"I was thinking the same thing! In Shirley's case, we've lost more money than we've earned. She doesn't deserve all

our resources," Xavier said firmly from his seat in the middle of the conference room.

"What?! Mr. Stuart, you agree to replacing Shirley? That's... unbelievable!" Ryan Wallace, the person in charge of

marketing, exclaimed in disbelief.

"Was I not clear, or do you have trouble understanding me, Mr. Wallace? Isn't it normal for us to replace someone

who isn't performing well? Why are you so shocked?" Xavier's eyes narrowed as he rested his chin on his hand

casually. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

"No, of course not!" Ryan quickly lowered his head and mumbled, "I was just surprised, that's all. After all, you gave

up everything to promote her, even going back on your own principles!"

"Well, things change. We have to treat all our celebrities fairly regardless of their seniority and fame. We'll fire

anyone who disobeys that rule," Xavier announced.

At that moment, someone entered the room with a message for Xavier. Generally, Xavier would tell them to wait

until the meeting was over, but Xavier's expression changed immediately when he heard Leia's name. He got up

and clapped his hands loudly, startling the others in the room. ’ Alright, let's stop here. We can always continue

tomorrow if there's anything else that needs discussing. It's about time for me to get off work."

After that, he pushed the chair away and left quickly.

The members of the board of directors looked at each other in shock.

"Why did the president suddenly change his mind? Has he finally given up on Shirley?"

"Hah, he's probably found another pretty face. Whoever it is, I hope she's better than Shirley. If not, this year's

financial report will be terrifying!"

"Didn't you guys hear? I heard that his new girlfriend is Ms. Leia Osborne!"

Gasps and whispers echoed around the room. Leia? Wasn't she Xavier's enemy?

"Well, if that's true, it certainly makes for a good story. It may make us money if we turn it into a movie," Ryan

rubbed his chin and said contemplatively.
