Chapter 554 Just Like an Angel

After parking the car, she was about to take the elevator, and she had barely taken a few steps when she heard a man and a woman in an argument. It sounded like an artist arguing with his manager.

"Garreth Dowrick, how many times have I told you that you're prone to edema and have to control your water intake before going to bed? Look how swollen your eyes are now. How can you meet your fans looking like this? Also, there are seven people in the group, but why are you the only one who is picked on and isolated? Shouldn't you look for the problem by looking at yourself? I put in so much effort to support you, but what about you? Are you going to continue to be a let-down?' Subconsciously, Elise slowed down her steps. Why does it sound like she's training him?

The person who was berated had a very soft voice, and he sounded very humble as he said, "It's my fault because I practiced singing until midnight, and my throat turned painful and itchy. So, I made a glass of honey drink..."

"Why were you practicing singing? Do you think you can return to that group? Nobody there welcomes you, and you won't be performing as a group anymore. Do you think you're abroad and can perform anytime you want? How many times do I have to tell you to get it into your head that you're going solo now, and you're on a different level from them. You don't have to move closer to them..."

"Don't speak about them like this, Jenny," the guy argued in a soft voice. "We debuted at the same time. There's no difference between us."

"I'm just howling at the moon, and you're just a blockhead. Forget it. Don't forget that you're attending an award ceremony later. Stay here and look through the transcript yourself. Don't mess things up again!"

The woman named Jenny sashayed away arrogantly in her heels after throwing those words at him.

In the quiet parking lot, the sobs of a man weeping softly echoed through before the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded. At first, Elise didn't want to meddle in this, but she was worried that a life would be lost; verbal violence could also push a person to do the unthinkable sometimes.

Quietly, she changed her direction and paced toward the spot where the voices were heard earlier.

From far away, she saw a black MPV with an open door, but there was nobody in it. When she got closer, she noticed that a handsome young man was lying on the floor, all curled up as his face writhed in pain. Hurriedly, she trotted over and helped him up. Garreth's mind was in a whirl, and in his daze, he felt someone helping him up as the air around him was filled with a nice scent. Then, he felt a needle prick on his wrist, and something was stuffed into his mouth.

In his first reaction, he thought that it tasted very bitter, but as the thing began to melt in his mouth, he was allured by the unique fragrance and the texture of the nuts mixed within.

Is this chocolate? What a unique texture, he thought. After swallowing the whole chocolate, he gradually recovered. When his eyelids fluttered and opened, his eyes met the bright, clear eyes of a young girl.

"I made a simple diagnosis for you and found out that there's a slight problem with your stomach and liver. Your organs will fail if you continue to cut off food and water," Elise said patiently in a doctor's tone.

Pursing his lips, Garreth lifted his hand and held onto the car. Using his might, he stood up straight and said his thanks lifelessly. "Thank you, miss."

From just one look, Elise could tell that this young man was younger than her, so she didn't say anything. Instead, she felt that he was very polite and decided to throw in another piece of advice. "Actually, you can ask your manager to hire a nutritionist for you, and you won't gain weight if your meals are reasonably planned. Cutting off food to maintain your figure is akin to getting treatment after polluting your body, and you'll have a bunch of health issues in the future."

"Thank you. I'll speak with my manager," Garreth said obediently.

After helping him into the car, Elise wanted to leave because she knew that artists usually didn't really like to be in contact with strangers in order to avoid a scandal or be held accountable, and she didn't want to cause him any trouble.

But she was still close by when Garreth glanced at her from behind and called out to her all of a sudden, "Miss!"

Stopping in her tracks, she looked back with a smile. "Is there anything else?"

Garreth bit his lower lip and asked shyly, "Where did you buy the chocolate from?"

As he had an event to attend later and was worried that he would pass out like just now, he wanted to ask for a few more pieces in preparation for that. More importantly, it was really delicious!

"Oh, that. I made those myself as a snack." Elise opened her bag and passed the remaining pieces of chocolate into his hands. "Take them. If there's a chance for us to meet again, I'll give you some more."

Flashing him a sweet smile, she patted the top of his head, but she did it really gently because she was worried that she might ruin his hairstyle. It'd be nice to have an obedient and polite younger brother, she thought. Moreover, he's really good-looking. Then, Garreth said again, "Thanks!"

Concerned that there might be no end to his thanks, Elise quickly left the spot.

Every movement she made was slowed down a few hundred frames in Garreth's mind as he watched her slender figure. This little miss is just like an angel...

...

At the reception desk, Elise told the reception that she would like to meet the general manager of Blitzy Entertainment. However, since she didn't have an appointment, the receptionist told her to wait at the side after making a call.

Soon, a haughty woman came out, and after exchanging a few words with the receptionist, she glanced indifferently at Elise, who was seated at the side.

A few seconds later, she paced over to Elise in her heels and asked arrogantly, "Are you the one who wants to meet our general manager?"

The woman had put on thick eyeshadow and eyeliner, and with a hime-cut hairstyle, she appeared even more stern and capable. Undoubtedly, her strength and pettiness were especially obvious, too.

Standing up, Elise had a smile on her face as she said, "Yes, it's me. Our company is planning to produce a new variety show. Hence, I wish to speak with Mr. Lowry personally because we would like to sign up a few celebrities from Blitzy Entertainment."

"Personally? Do you think anyone can meet Mr. Lowry?" Indifferently, Hime-Cut crossed her arms across her chest and said smugly, "The variety shows by big companies already have their proposal ready at the planning department. You must be someone from an online variety show that is not affiliated with any company, aren't you?"

"You can put it that way," Elise admitted since she was the boss and hadn't set up a company yet.

"The cheeks of an online variety show to come here and ask for artists. College students are the cheapest labor, and your boss can only afford employees like you. Can he actually afford to pay for the appearance fee of an artist?" Hime-Cut mocked with a snigger. Although Elise was used to meeting snobbish people, she still had the urge to slap this woman. However, she controlled herself and said politely, "How would you know we can't afford it without any negotiations? Or does everyone in Blitzy Entertainment speak to their customers the way you do?"

Rolling her eyes at her, Hime-Cut beckoned outside impatiently. "Hey, you, come over here!"

After the words left her lips, a petite girl trotted over hurriedly. "Did you call me?"

"I'm busy right now, so attend to this customer well for me. Treasure this opportunity and don't run around like a headless chicken!" Hime-Cut lectured and left.

Amused, Elise thought, What's up with Blitzy Entertainment? Their artists are polite and peaceful, but this employee, who is neither in a high nor low position, looks down on people!
