His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 178 - CLAWED HER WAY UP

Beatrice felt that her little boss was not happy with her as she drove to Illusion Entertainment. Unfortunately, she could not figure out what she had done wrong. In fact, nothing unusual had happened as far as she knew.

She had called Hu Lei after arriving in the apartment complex. After a while, she had become worried, fearing that they would be late for the morning strategy meeting with the cast of The Queen of the Apocalypse. So, she had decided to go up and pick her directly from the house.

Who knew that when Hu Lei opened the door to leave, she would throw a scathing look at her? Beatrice felt immensely wronged. But she did not dare say anything because she was sensing a faint-but-definitely-there killing intent.

How could the poor Beatrice know that she had interrupted a beautiful moment, causing Hu Lei to feel frustration from the depth of her soul?

When they arrived at Illusion Entertainment, Hu Lei stepped out of the vehicle and looked at Beatrice with a grudge-holding face. She huffed and turned away dramatically, walking towards the building entrance.

Beatrice smiled because she could see that Hu Lei was not very mad anymore. She had come to realise that as long as her little boss was not cold and distant, she was not really angry. Her huffing was a sign that there were no hard feelings.

"Does that woman think that she is a queen?" A young woman spoke in a low voice, but the words were heard by the other people in the conference room.

This young woman was not an important person. She was merely a small assistant to the publicity manager in charge of the TQA movie. However, this was enough to make her feel like she was floating over the moon.

After all, how many small assistants could be sitting casually in a room with three major celebrities and other important people?

Her dissatisfaction came from the fact that Hu Lei was the only one who had not shown up to the meeting. Everyone else had already settled down over twenty minutes ago. Moreover, why did she have to come to the promotion events? It was not like anyone knew her.

However, she had not spoken up because of her personal displeasure. Instead, she felt that she was saying what everyone was thinking. Her boss was tapping her manicured fingers on the table in that impatient manner. The cast of the show was showing signs of dissatisfaction, and the air was somewhat awkward since the manager did not want to start without everyone in the room.

"There is no need to be impatient." Bei Gong Hai said in a gentle voice.

The little assistant felt like the angels had smiled down on her. She had only been speaking casually, almost murmuring to herself. She did not know that the great idol was paying attention. Her annoyance reduced by half.

"Yes, it is no problem waiting a little longer. Perhaps Miss Hu had some urgent matters." Wang Yue added.

For some reason, her words did not induce calm. If anything, there was a greater sense of discontent in the room. As a beloved goddess, she had a lot of fans and followers, even in the very conference room. Her fame was immense. The only reason she was not at the level of Murong Yue was because she had a humble background.

Moreover, to some people, she was even more amazing because she had clawed her way up from the countryside and become a powerful woman in the greatest city. Numerous individuals who thought this way and enshrined her were in the room. The men particularly felt she was perfect in comparison to the pampered misses in Supreme.

Therefore, when she spoke so generously towards a small time author, they felt wronged on her behalf. If a goddess could arrive early, why couldn't the other woman come on time?

Wang Yue snuck a look at Bei Gong Hai discretely. No one noticed this subtle look because she only rested her eyes on him for a few seconds before moving on to someone else. In truth, the look was not casual. She was trying to gauge his attitude.

She wanted to see if he had noticed something from her words. Also, she had been trying to determine whether he would betray any feelings of fondness or dislike towards Hu Lei. Like everyone else, she knew about the brief link between the two.

Even though it was cleared, she had been in the industry for too long to believe everything reported. Based on the scandal, she knew that Bei Gong Hai either liked Hu Lei or disliked her, especially after the link between them.

Unfortunately, he was too good at concealing his feelings. This made it difficult for her to determine the best method to proceed with her plan to get closer to him. If things went well, they would get together, and she would finally get the life she wanted.

Wang Yue knew that countless people admired her for her humble background and her inspirational journey. But she definitely did not choose to struggle. If she had her way, she would rather be like Murong Yue. It was unfortunate that she was not born into money.

Her only way into the life she wanted was getting married into a good family. At first, she had intended to make Dai Li her target when the movie had begun. However, she quickly discovered that he was a player with numerous girls hopping on him, one after another.

If she went after him, he would probably dump her shortly after sleeping with her. She had struggled to get ahead without using her body because her plan was to get married to a good family from the beginning. She would not waste her efforts so easily.

So, she had turned to the more difficult target. With Bei Gong Hai, she wouldn't need to be the inspirational farm girl. She would be a true member of the elite society.

Her pursuit of Bei Gong Hai was not completely motivated by her practical. She had come to like the man because he was kind, diligent and a great actor. She was probably not in love with him. But she had some strong feelings towards him. And she already considered him to be hers.

She would not allow anyone to ruin everything for her.
