Chapter 139

Ginny glanced at Alex, hesitating for a few seconds before she went after everyone else.

She was Madison Zucker's fan too, and she wanted to give her idol a warm welcome.

At the entrance stood Madison, with a dozen or so bodyguards and staff swarming around her. There was no reason for her to appear that night, not when she was currently such a big name.

Even when they offered her five million for just two songs, she had still refused.

But some big shot in the Bureau of Commerce and Industry had pressured her manager, so she had no choice but to accept the gig. Accepting a gig like this wouldn't be great for her reputation. But, it was only just the two songs. It wouldn't take up too much time. However, the main reason she didn't dare reject Wade's uncle was that recently, she had her eyes set on Alex.

She had even decided that she was willing to sleep with him as long as he wanted her.

Yet, the man wasn't giving her any opportunities to do anything.

If she could get into his good graces and be taken under his wing, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the industry. No one would dare mess with her after that.

There would never a situation where she would have to play nice with some big shot from the Bureau of Commerce and Industry ever again.

Wade was the first person to run up to her. "Ms. Zucker, thank you for honoring us with your presence! We're so thrilled that you're here to sing for us," he said proudly. Truthfully, he knew that Madison was only there because of his uncle. He himself was but a meagre section chief and had nowhere near that kind of pull.

"You're being too modest, Mr. Larson." Madison chuckled lightly.

Madison was a real beauty. Even without much makeup, she still looked quite ethereal.

If it weren't for the towering bodyguards around her, plenty in the crowd would've mobbed her for an autograph.

As they headed back into the hall, Wade noticed that Alex was sitting by himself with a cigarette in his hand. He couldn't believe that the useless loser hadn't joined them in welcoming Madison Zucker. This angered him quite a bit.

A derisive scoff escaped his lips before he turned to Madison. "Ms. Zucker, before you begin, I'd like to introduce you to someone."

"Oh? Who?" asked Madison, puzzled. Are there VIPS here today?

"Just a useless bum who's fully dependent on his wife. He was very disrespectful to you earlier and insisted that you would obediently heed his requests. Isn't that hilarious?" tattled Wade before guffawing obnoxiously.

The crowd exchanged glances with each other and broke out into laughter. Their all looked at Alex condescendingly.

"Ha! That's pretty hilarious. Now I really am interested to see who this person is."

A glint of derision flashed across Madison's eyes. Who the heck is so arrogant? I'll show him!

"There. That's him," Wade said as he pointed to Alex, who was still busy smoking.

Chapter 139

Everyone was waiting with bated breath to see Madison put Alex in his place. They were all itching to make fun of him some more.

Madison looked in the direction Wade was pointing in and noticed an averagely-dressed man.

He had his legs crossed and was smoking by his lonesome.

But there wasn't even one hint of sadness or dissatisfaction on his face at having been left behind.

Instead, there was only an unfathomable sense of intensity.

After they walked closer and finally saw his face, both Madison and her manager shuddered in astonishment Their eyes grew twice their original size.
