Chapter: 749
“You're welcome, Maria. If it weren't for you, Yeez Entertainment would never have reached the stage that it is at today. In fact, if you ever need money urgently, you can just transfer it from the company's account. Anyway, for me, the company's money is your money!"
"No, I have to make money by myself," Maria said, shaking her head. She didn't want to misappropriate funds from Yeez Entertainment. The investment for Sophie's research institute was Like a bottomless hole, which required Maria to maintain a high income for a long time.
Making money by herself was the only way that Maria could sustain the investment. If she just kept taking money from Yeez Entertainment, she would drain the company's revenue sooner or later.
“There are two surprise guests? Who's the other one?”
Maria asked curiously as she kept leafing through the contract.
“Well, about that," Jeremy said with a smile, "the other surprise guest is Jacqueline Bowles, the daughter of the Bowles family. She is in charge of the Bowles Group's domestic business. Her participation in this program is a kind of publicity for the enterprise and for herself.”
Star entrepreneur was a term that was gaining popularity in recent years.
It referred to those so-called young entrepreneurs who started their businesses with family funds, and enjoyed the fame that came with it. As the CEO of an entertainment company, Jeremy was long accustomed to the phenomena.
Maria was mortified to find out that she would have to appear on a reality show with Jacqueline.
She would have to think about how to explain the matter to Anthony when she got home.
Her own embarrassment aside, she really hoped that he wouldn't be too upset.
As soon as Maria got home, she honestly explained the situation to
Anthony.
Then she asked gingerly, "Do you mind if I go on the show?"
After glancing through the contract, Anthony casually threw it on the coffee table in front of him.
The document fell with a loud thud, and Maria couldn't help but tremble.
“You are short of money, so you want to work hard and make your own money. That's great. Why should I mind it? It's not Like you'll need my help anyway."
Despite his words, why did Maria feel that he was speaking through clenched teeth? She couldn't understand why he was upset.
The shooting schedule for Taste of Childhood was only a short period of five days.
Maria didn't think it was a big deal that she had to miss sleeping in the hibernation pod for five days. Anthony, however, thought that she was not following medical advice and made his disapproval loud and clear.
“Miss Jenkins, you are a healthy young woman. Why does it matter if you have to sleep outside for five days? It's not like you're a patient.” Anthony's words dripped with sarcasm as he shot a cold look at Maria. He sounded like a father at a parent-teacher meeting who had just found out that his child had failed the exam.
Maria was speechless.
Just how angry was Anthony at her?
This was the first time after they reached an agreement that he had called her "Miss Jenkins."
