Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

After she warned Pauline, Gwenda finally gained some peace of mind, enabling her to work more attentively.

Having lost two artists in a row, with Lan Russell's scandal plastered all over the Internet, KG Entertainment was having trouble taking care of themselves. Their stocks fell rapidly and they were criticised by all sorts of fans online.

Gwenda had been on the way out of her classroom when she browsed through the news on KG Entertainment.

Just as she was about to continue reading, she received a call from August.

"Hello August!"

Gwenda called out in honeyed tones the moment she picked up the call.

August scoffed in disdain as he asked with raised eyebrows, "Where are you?"

"I'm in school. I've just finished classes. August, why did you call me?"

After she loaned money from him, they had not contacted each other. Gwenda was very surprised that he would call her all of a sudden. "Wait for me at the school gate. I'll swing by to pick you up for lunch." August hung up the phone before Gwenda could say anything. Gazing at the darkening screen, she frowned.

Lunch?

Why did he want to have lunch with her out of nowhere?

Around ten minutes later, August's car stopped before the school gates.

The window rolled down to reveal August's handsome visage.

Gwenda opened the door and got in the car. "August, why do you suddenly want to treat me to a meal?"

"It's not me."

With that correction, August revved up the engine and set off.

Gwenda was puzzled. "If it's not you, then who could it be?"

August ignored her and drove without a word.

Seeing that he was not going to answer, Gwenda gave up on questioning him further and changed the subject with a smile. "August, are you still going to keep your word?" "What word?"

August asked casually with raised eyebrows.

"What? You can't have forgotten." Gwenda was startled by his attitude. She quickly reminded him. "You promised me that if I proved myself to you, you would agree to transfer grandma's shares to me." "Oh, so did you prove yourself?"

August asked.

"Did I not?"

Gwenda retorted with a frown.

August snorted. "You can't possibly believe that you've proved yourself by aiding an Internet celebrity's rise to fame, do you?"

"An Internet celebrity?"

Gwenda's face fell in disbelief, "August, Cecilia isn't an Internet celebrity! She debuted as a proper artist. It's just that she's gotten famous on short video platforms first. She's currently participating in a music programme on TV."

"In that case, let me ask you, how much is Cecilia's endorsement fee? How many high-end endorsements do you have on hand?"

August's question hit the nail on the head.

Gwenda was instantly rendered speechless.

"No answer? Well, if that's the case, what else could she be but an Internet celebrity?"

August huffed sarcastically.

Gwenda clenched her teeth with defiance. "Cecilia just started out with her career. The fact that she has such results is more than good enough for someone in her current position. Do you want her to run before she learns to walk?"

"No, not at all. But it's undeniable that Cecilia's current position is not conducive to her development."

"How is it not conducive?"

Gwenda huffed in dissatisfaction, "August, don't be a buzzkill just because you don't want me to have grandma's shares. I'm really trying my best, okay?"

This was too much.

If it was not for the fact that he had treated her quite well in her past life, Gwenda really wanted to complain to her grandmother about him!

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you, brat."

August rolled his eyes at her.

"How would I understand if you refuse to tell me?" Gwenda scoffed angrily, "You're the brat here!"

She turned towards the window and resolutely ignored him.

August glanced at her and said nothing.

Silence fell in the car.

The atmosphere became still and heavy.

Fortunately, the car soon arrived at the restaurant.

August got out first.

Gwenda followed, but as her cousin walked towards the restaurant, she said sulkily, "I don't want to eat with you anymore."

August stopped and looked back at her. "Sure! You can leave. But don't say that I never gave you any chances."

With that, he did not waste his time and resumed his walk to the restaurant.

Gwenda was stunned.

Chances?
