Chapter 41
Sue was stunned, but quickly recovered her composure and flashed a bright smile. Then, she pulled
Sheena aside and whispered, “They’re really influential in the Vision Group. Whether our company’s
artists can get a chance in their projects depends on them. Please be mindful of your words, Ms.
Sheena.”
Sheena nodded.
After that, they politely faced the three directors, who were giving Sheena lewd stares.
Sheena was truly disgusted by them.
“Ms. Sheena, you definitely live up to your reputation. Not only are you beautiful, but have a stunning
figure,” said James Williams, breaking the silence.
you also
“Oh, you flatter me. You three are the impressive ones,” Sheena replied with a polite smile.
Sue warmly invited everyone to take their seats. Raising her glass, she was the first to offer a toast to
Sheena, saying, “This is the first time you’re handling a business matter personally since you’ve
become a talent manager. Let’s toast to a successful discussion.”
Sheena was handed a glass of red wine. She gracefully swirled it in the glass and took a whiff of its
aroma before commenting, “1982 Lafite. This is an excellent choice.”
She smiled, gently clinking her glass with Sue’s, then raised her head to take a big gulp.
Tony Landon flattered, “Ms. Sheena, I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable about wine, and you’re
a bold drinker too. You’re truly charming! Please accept my toast.”
Sheena asked, “Aren’t we here today to discuss the Vision Group’s casting for the drama? Why aren’t

The directors remained composed, replying, “We’ll definitely get to that, but drinking before discussing
business matters is customary. Ms. Sheena, you know that, right?”
With smiles on their faces, the three directors approached and offered her glasses of wine.
Sheena did not refuse and drank one glass after another.
In The Freeman Group’s CEO office.
Leon knocked and entered, respectfully handing over the file on Sheena’s background as he said, “Mr.
Freeman, our team has thoroughly investigated three times. This is the final compilation of the
information. Please have a look.”
Elijah took the file and read through it several times, frowning all the while.
On the surface, Sheena’s life seemed ordinary. However, there was only one word written regarding
her life before áge fifteen: Orphanage. There were no other specific details.
Even the circumstances of how she ended up in the orphanage remained a mystery.
Elijah could not believe that there was actually someone that even his elite hackers could not
fully investigate.
Leon noticed his suspicion and asked, “Should we continue digging deeper?”
“No need,” Elijah replied, closing the file and placing it on the stack of documents. “She intentionally
made sure we couldn’t find anything. Further investigation would be a waste of effort, but her
background must be more than what meets the eye.”
Walking to the window, Elijah lit a cigarette and let himself be lost in thought.
Leon opened the schedule on his iPad and continued, “Mr. Freeman, you have a dinner tonight that
was arranged a week ago. Are you going?”
“Yes.”
At the Vision Group’s dinner, the four took turns toasting to Sheena, going back and forth for three
rounds, and Sheena accepted every glass with a smile.
They went through six bottles of red wine during the dinner. However, Sheena’s cheeks only had a
slight blush, making her even more enchanting under the soft lights.
Her eyes, on the other hand, remained remarkably clear and bright.
Sue was already dazed and was feeling a bit frustrated. She could not believe how well Sheena could
handle her liquor.
While the rest were already tipsy, Sheena seemed completely unaffected.
They could barely drink
anymore.
Suddenly, without being prompted, Sheena filled her own glass and downed it in one go. Then, those
sharp and clear eyes fixed on each of them. Sheena’s smile was both enchanting and seemingly tinged
with mockery.
They were everpletely amazed by her alcohol tolerance!
bo you sopped drinking? If we’re done with the drinks, should we start the
Sheena took the initiative, turning the tables on them and raising her glass to toast them.
the three directors quickly shot stern glances at Sue, urging her to resolve the situation. They could not
drink anymore, or they would be the ones passing out.
Ste gritted her teeth, knowing that this could not go on any longer. Fortunately, Katie had gorn ber
something colorless and tasteless to ensure nothing would go wrong.
She and Isaac Clarke exchanged a knowing glance, and Isaac smiled as he spoke, “Ms. Sheena, have
you reviewed the character planning for our new drama? Here’s the latest version, and perhaps you
could take a look and share your thoughts on the casting.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheena stood up to receive the file.
She had accidentally knocked over Sheena’s wine glass.
“Tim so sorry, Ms. Sheena! I didn’t mean it. I’m just a little tipsy. Let me get you a new glass.” Sheena
glanced at Sue but did not stop her.
After a moment, Sue brought out a new glass, filled it with red wine, and obediently handed it to
Sheena.
Issac and Sue exchanged glances again, eager to raise their glasses and toast her once more.
There’s no need to rush. Let’s consider this glass as the final one for tonight,” Sheena declined
gracefully.
Isaac did not quite understand her intention and agreed, “Sure! Whatever you say.”
Carefully, Sheena moved her wine glass slightly while standing up, holding the documents. Then, she
leaned over and showed them to Isaac.
The three executives could not keep their eyes off her alluring figure.
As there was no document holder, Sheena leaned the documents against two wine glasses, pointing
out the issue.
The executives were not interested in the documents at all. They just wanted to finish the meeting
quickly.
They responded eagerly to whatever suggestions Sheena gave.
Isaac raised his glass again. “Ms. Sheena, now that our work is settled, let’s all raise our glasses and
celebrate the upcoming collaboration.”
Sheena did not refuse, raising her glass and lightly clinking it with the others. However, she did not rush
to drink.
The four of them quickly finished their glasses, staring at Sheena excitedly
