Chapter 73: Chapter 73: You’re So Stupid That You Exhausted Yourself...

The call from Boris came when she was still in bed, not fully awake, so her voice carried a hint of sleepy hoarseness. "Hello, Manager Castle, I wonder what this call is about?"

Boris noticed this, and apologized, "Miss Parker, did I disturb your rest?"

Melody Parker laughed, "No, Manager Castle, what’s the matter?"

"Okay," Boris hesitated over his choice of words and slowly revealed why he was calling Melody Parker.

"It’s like this, Miss Parker. Our CEO has requested the preparation of filming plans for the second season of ’Love’s Fantasy,’ so if it’s convenient for you, could you come to the Davies Clan today to discuss the second season in detail?"

Melody Parker was puzzled, "Isn’t the first season not finished yet? Why the rush to prepare for the second season?"

Boris: He also wanted to know why, but could he say that? Of course not!

"It’s like this, Miss Parker, our company is undergoing some internal adjustments. But mainly, it’s our CEO’s decision, so you see..."

Melody Parker understood, "Okay, I’ll come over and see you later."

Boris followed up, "Miss Parker, how long will it take you to get here?"

Melody Parker estimated the time and replied, "Half an hour."

Half an hour later, Melody Parker arrived as promised at the company. Boris was at the door to greet her, "Miss Parker, our CEO wants to see you to discuss the second season in detail."

Melody Parker was puzzled, "Your CEO?"

Boris nodded, speaking anxiously, "Yes, Miss Parker, please go quickly."

This half hour for Boris had been unbearable.

In the span of this half hour, he had been called into the CEO’s office twice.

The first time, the CEO asked him coldly, "Have you made the appointment? When will she arrive?"

The second time, the CEO’s face was even colder, with a terrifying frost, "Why isn’t she here yet?"

He didn’t know if Miss Parker had offended the CEO, but he knew the CEO was eager to see Miss Parker, and if she didn’t show up soon, his own life might be at risk.

Seeing Melody Parker not moving, Boris urged again, "Miss Parker, you better go quickly, the CEO must be anxious by now."

Melody Parker frowned and re-entered the elevator, heading to the exclusive CEO floor.

That man is back?

Wasn’t he on a business trip?

He returned in such a hurry to see her, what exactly did he want?

Could it be to find fault with her, to argue with her?

The elevator stopped at the exclusive CEO floor, Melody Parker stepped out, lightly knocked on the CEO’s office door, and entered.

Adrian Davies looked up, his cold expression finally relaxing upon seeing Melody Parker.

He looked at the woman, this woman dressed in a khaki dress and coat of the same color.

Her face was somewhat thin and had a sickly paleness.

Yes, hadn’t she fainted?

Haha, it had already reached the point of fainting, how could she possibly not look thin, not look pale!

Melody Parker entered the room, stopping not far from Adrian Davies, and asked, "Director Davies, you wanted to see me?"

The man said nothing, his burning gaze on her.

Melody Parker didn’t understand what the man’s peculiar gaze meant, seeing his silence, she went ahead and asked, "Director Davies, I heard that you want to start the second season’s filming ahead of schedule?"

Adrian Davies remained silent, his dark eyes mixed with so many emotions, firmly looking at the woman.

Melody Parker continued, "Director Davies, the first season of ’Love’s Fantasy’ has not ended yet, and the advertising department is currently pushing hard to promote the first season. If the second season starts filming ahead of schedule, it is bound to affect the first season’s sales. Director Davies, I think you should seriously consider whether to really start the second season’s filming in advance."

Adrian Davies looked at Melody Parker, not discussing the second season’s filming issue, but coldly asked, "Have you been taking on some scattered jobs lately and foolishly overworked yourself?"

His voice was as cold as ever, but within that coldness, there was an unintentional hint of concern.

Was he concerned about her?

Impossible? It must be her overthinking it.

Because she indeed took on scattered jobs and had overworked herself, she had to admit her mistake.

Melody Parker lowered her head, noticing the man’s hint of concern, ignoring the ’foolish’ in his words.

"Yes, Director Davies, I have been taking on some scattered jobs, and I accidentally fainted, but it’s all in the past, now I’m fine."

Fine?

With such a pale face, she actually dared to say she’s fine?

Adrian Davies was furious, his voice growing colder, "Is what the Davies Clan pays you not enough? That you actually have to go and take on those lousy wedding dress gigs! Hmm?"

Speaking of wedding dresses, thinking of that eye-catching mysterious man, Adrian Davies’ anger escalated.

Before Melody Parker could answer, he continued in an icy tone, "Woman, do you know I said that during the contract period with the Davies Clan, no scandals should be heard? Are you treating what I said as something that goes in one ear and out the other? Hmm? Also, if you’re in need of money, or if you feel what the Davies Clan offers is not enough, you can directly tell me! You are a contracted model of the Davies Clan, there’s no need for you to take on those degrading jobs, immediately drop all those scattered jobs you’ve taken!"

Melody Parker looked at the man in his anger, utterly confused.

What did she do wrong?

She was earning her own money through her efforts, not doing anything disgraceful, how did she offend this tyrannosaurus?

She hadn’t committed any heinous crimes, nor did she desecrate his ancestors’ graves, why was this tyrannosaurus taking his anger out on her?

She was just having a moment of misjudgment, mistakenly assuming he cared for her, feeling a bit moved, planning to speak politely to him.

Bah, this tyrant who only knows how to roar at people isn’t worthy of her politeness.

Melody Parker stepped forward, approaching Adrian Davies.

Her cold eyes looked at him, she spoke firmly, "Director Davies, thank you for your kindness, but as for those scattered jobs I’ve taken, I will not let them go."

She continued without giving Adrian Davies a chance to speak, explaining her reasons in detail.

"Firstly, I take on those scattered jobs openly, I am willing to earn money through my own labor, I don’t find it degrading or shameful; secondly, there is no clause in my contract with the Davies Clan that says I cannot take on other scattered jobs during my contract period with the Davies Clan; thirdly, who would mind having more money, even though I am not in need of money at the moment, more is always better in the long run."

Adrian Davies’ face turned as dark as water, looking at the woman speaking so reasonably, he coldly questioned, "Is the money the Davies Clan pays you not enough? How much more can those scattered jobs earn you? Hmm?"

Saying this, not waiting for the woman to speak, Adrian Davies added quickly, "Cancel those scattered jobs, and the loss, I’ll compensate you."
