Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO
Chapter 345

Chapter 345 Aren't You Being a Little Self-Conceited?

Even some of the celebrities whom Meredith never spoke to came to greet her enthusiastically. Someone among the celebrities who were with Meredith when the diamond ring was delivered to her that day must have gossiped about it. Therefore, rumors about her must have spread like wildfire, which explained why people were starting to flatter her.

Meredith enjoyed the attention she got from them. As an obedient girl, she grew up being overshadowed by Megan's cheerful and boisterous personality. Therefore, she chose to become a celebrity, as she enjoyed being the center of attention. Somehow, the organizer decided to arrange for Meredith and Jude to sit next to each other, so the cameras were constantly pointed toward both of them.

"You must have bribed the organizer to have them arrange you to sit beside me so that you would get more exposure." Naturally, Meredith didn't like Jude, so she used to have Landy dig up negative aspects of Jude's past to be used as slandering material.

Fortunately, Jude didn't care much about gossip, nor did she respond to any of those, so nobody actually knew much about her. People could form their own judgements about her, but none of them seemed to affect her. "F*cking hell." Jude never was one to mince her words. "Meredith, aren't you being a little self-conceited?"

Hearing that, Meredith felt humiliated. Not only was Jude unbothered to flatter her, but she was even speaking to her like that. Well, well! After tonight, I will replace a way to ruin her career as a celebrity! However, she had to keep up appearances as an elegant woman as the cameras were constantly on her. Therefore, she had to keep her smile, and acting out like Jude wasn't an option.

Meanwhile, Jude glanced at the ring on Meredith's finger before mocking, "This is such a huge ring. Aren't you worried that the weight might hurt your finger? You're the Best Actress, so you need to take care of your fingers."

Meredith hated Jude for her comment. Indeed, the ring was weighing on her finger. She had been putting it on display for everyone to know by holding her finger up slightly, so her finger was sore from it by now. "You must be envious of me. After all, nobody wants a woman like you, so you don't have the good fortune to wear a ring."

Upon hearing that, Jude could feel her smile sliding off her face. That's true... Will I get the chance to have a ring around my finger? She was reminded of Satan, whom she both loved and hated. He had left such a deep impression on her that she was no longer able to love anyone else, yet at the same time, she knew she couldn't marry Satan, as he was the man who killed her father. On the other hand, Meredith was being self-conceited as she thought she had struck a nerve.

When the emcee got on stage, the ceremony began. Jude glanced in the direction of where she saw Selena's name, and sure enough, she found Selena sitting over there. When they saw each other, Selena waved at Jude.

Is she nuts? How dare she appear in public when the ceremony is on live broadcast? If John Fowler catches wind of her presence at the ceremony, he will never let her go. With that in mind, Jude quickly sent Selena a text. 'Do you have a death wish?'

Selena gave her an immediate reply. 'You'll be up for a great show tonight, so watch closely.' Then, Jude turned to glance at Selena again while wondering what the heck was she up to. The award ceremony commenced, and it was boring, to say the least. Although it was interspersed with performances, all the attendees cared about was who would win the awards.
