Cecilia nodded. “From now on, we’re all founding members and shareholders of the company.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Norman began to prepare for work.
He was also aware of the defamatory news about Cecilia circulating online and had started addressing it early on.
“Moving forward, our company will need its own dedicated team of lawyers. We can’t let others lead us by the nose,” he said.-
Cecilia nodded. “In this regard, we really need to rely on your expertise.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll have everything prepared.”
Cecilia kept nodding in response.
Over the years, Norman had always been there for her, and she trusted him completely.
To effectively manage a large corporation, one had to learn to delegate authority.
Charlotte was in charge of management at that time, with Madeline assisting her, while Lucille was responsible for hiring staff.
Cecilia had plans to establish an online new media company, a decision, that was influenced by public opinion at that time.
From then on, things gradually progressed in a different direction.
Charlotte soon shared the news about the new company with Eric, who had been persistently inquiring about what Cecilia had been up to lately. In response, Eric brought Cecilia a basket of flowers to congratulate her.
“Ms. Cecille, you set up a company back home and didn’t even think to tell me?” Eric said with a pitiful tone. “You’re not treating me like a friend at all.”
Cecilia responded helplessly, “My company has just been established. I didn’t want to draw too much attention. I initially planned to tell you all once the company was running smoothly.”
As she spoke, her attention was subtly directed toward what was happening behind Eric.
“No one followed you here, right?”
If the paparazzi had caught a glimpse of Eric arriving at Cecilia’s company, it could have
sparked a maior controversy.

Eric scratched his head and replied, “I don’t think so.”
You don’t think so? Cecilia was impressed by his nonchalant demeanor.
However, it wasn’t surprising. After all, in the past, Eric had no scandals and was widely praised.
Cecilia was the one who had landed him in trouble, and she blamed herself for it.

When Charlotte saw that Eric was there, she cheerfully ran toward him, exclaiming, “Eric, you’re here!”
“Yes. I’m here.”
Eric and she high–fived.
Sven, who came with Cecilia to oversee the security near the company, couldn’t help but glance over this way a couple of times, swiftly withdrawing his gaze afterward.
At that moment, Charlotte said to Cecilia, “Boss, I pondered over this for a long time last night. I’ve come up with a brilliant plan that could catapult our company to fame while also helping Eric shake off some negative press.”
“What is it?”
“We simply need to get Eric to sign a contract with us. Once he is contracted to our company, we can publicly state that your initial meeting with him was for business discussions pertaining to the company.”
With that, Charlotte turned to look at Eric. “I’ve done my research. Eric, did you return this time to terminate your contract with Imminence Corporation?”
Before, Eric had simply considered Charlotte as an ordinary administrative worker. He hadn’t expected her to be so adept at gathering information.
“How did you know?” he asked.
“This kind of thing can be guessed from small clues.” Charlotte didn’t elaborate further. Instead, she said, “You collaborate with my boss all the time, anyway. Why not simply sign a contract with our company this time? I’m sure my boss won’t let you down.”
Upon hearing those words, Cecilia tried to stop her. “Lottie.”
She knew Eric well, and she knew he didn’t like being constrained. Hence, she thought he certainly wouldn’t want to sign a contract with her company.
What she hadn’t expected, however, was that without any hesitation, Eric said, “I think Lottie’s idea is excellent. I’ll be the first artist you sign.”

What Cecilia was considering at the moment was starting an internet company. The contracts were likely going to be with some minor influencers. She hadn’t even thought about signing any major stars.
