Chapter 131 She's with Me
Early the next morning, Juniper went to the bank and transferred 1 hundred thousand, into Magnus's account.
Note: [Repayment]
When Magnus received this money, his brow twitched.
He had just finished a meeting.
Joseph was beside him, seeing him staring at his phone in a daze, and asked, "Mr. Blackwood, is something wrong?"
"How much can an account like Harper Beaumont's earn in a year?"
Joseph replied, "She currently has five million followers if not tens of millions. I think she could easily make two to three million a year."
The man's eyes darkened slightly.
Joseph thought for a moment and said, " Boss, do you want Ms. Beaumont to repay the money, or do you want to take legal action against her or...??"
‘Do you want her to be your wife?’’
But Joseph didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence. According to Magnus's character, he wouldn't admit it. Proud, stubborn, quick-witted but always speaking in opposites. That's his boss's trait.
Joseph was used to it. "Does SY have any projects suitable for her?" "Many, but even if she keeps taking on SY's work, she still won't clear fourteen billion."
He understood. Mr. Blackwood just wanted Ms. Beaumont not to clear the debt, preferably owing him.
He reminded, "Mr. Blackwood, if you want to create an opportunity to meet Ms. Beaumont, you don't need to do this, you can just..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Magnus's face turned slightly cold as he interrupted, "I just want her to repay the money, nothing else."
Joseph thought to himself, ‘Who would believe that? If you don't confess, you'll surely face consequences when you try to pursue Ms. Beaumont later. It's no wonder Juniper can't see through Magnus's indirect approaches! Who could have guessed? To Juniper, Magnus is more like a creditor always seeking repayment! Who falls for their creditor?’
Juniper took a taxi to the SY Group after finishing the bank transfer.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the group, she felt a slight pang in her lower abdomen. She glanced at the memo date and furrowed her brows.
Why did she always have her menstruation when she had something important to do? Was this Murphy's Law? Even though she had to record a song that day, signing the contract swiftly wouldn't take much time. She quickly signed the contract at the legal department in Building One and was then taken to the recording studio in another building.
The script supervisor noticed her pale face and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Are you sure you can work?”
Menstrual cramps were an old problem. She had just taken an ibuprofen, feeling a bit better.
"Yes, let's go record." She didn't want to make a second trip for something that could be done in a day. Mary is known in the industry for keeping her artists' schedules packed.
Afterwards, she would be very busy. Juniper has a great voice, but perhaps due to menstrual cramps, she was a bit off.
After the initial recording, the sound designer from the production team felt that the emotion was lacking. In the second recording, Juniper put in much more effort. Suddenly, a tall, upright figure appeared in the recording studio.
Someone with sharp eyes recognized Magnus. "Mr. Blackwood." The person stood up, about to inform everyone. Magnus stopped him and whispered, "I'm just passing by, taking a look." The staff were somewhat nervous.
Since when did Mr. Blackwood become interested in the gaming division's matters? In reality, within the projects at SY Group, the gaming sector was only a minor part of the industry.
Magnus himself came from a background in financial investment, with his major industries being financial services, real estate, and new energy.
He never paid attention to the gaming industry, and even the top boss, let alone the second boss, Robert, didn't care about it.But today, why did the big boss visit for the first time ever? "Mr. Blackwood, there's a chair here, please have a seat."
“No need," Magnus said, standing in the corner with his eyes fixed on Juniper, who was recording.
She was so focused that she didn't notice him.The production team manager, following the gaze of the big boss, looked over and said, "This Beaumont sings quite beautifully, and she's also pretty."
The man's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Are you thinking of something?”
In the cold and stern voice, there seemed to be blades. The sense of oppression was overwhelming. "No!"
He just casually said it! The big boss was indeed serious. He tightly shut his mouth and dared not speak randomly again.
Over there, Juniper finished recording for the second time.
The sound designer suggested, "This one is much better than the last one, but there is still room for improvement. Should we make some more adjustments?
“Okay," Juniper said. They paid 2 million dollars, so she didn’t want to appear unprofessional. However, her menstrual cramps were unbearable. She subconsciously pressed her lower abdomen, considering whether to squat down and take a break.
The sound team had already adjusted the sound. "We can start!" As they began recording for the third time, halfway through the song, Juniper's forehead was full of cold sweat.
Due to the severe stomachache, her voice also trembled a bit. Standing not far away, Magnus furrowed his brows slightly. He whispered a few words to the production team manager. Soon, the production team manager made a "stop" gesture. "Everyone, pause!"
"Mr. Blackwood is here!" The sound effects abruptly stopped. Juniper stood there pale-faced, subconsciously looking over here. Their eyes met suddenly across the space.
Magnus's gaze was steady and deep. In the brief moment of Juniper's surprise, the tall figure had already moved swiftly towards her. The chilly air caused Juniper's arms to shiver, creating goosebumps. Suddenly, a large, dry, and warm hand reached out and touched her forehead.
Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulder. A suit jacket was placed on her. Juniper wanted to remove it, saying, "I'm not cold." But Magnus's look left no room for discussion.
He looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Stop resisting. Other people will be more puzzled about our relationship if you do so."
Juniper looked towards the crew. Everyone was stunned. People were sneakily glancing at them, full of curiosity. ‘What's going on? Did the big boss come to check on Juniper?’
In everyone's minds, a big drama was already unfolding. The standoffish CEO versus the cool and aloof ingenue.
Compared to Juniper's discomfort, Magnus seemed unaffected. "If you knew you were going to have your period today, why did you come here?"
If she had known she was going to have her period today, she wouldn't have come. In no time, Joseph came in with dozens of drinks.
"Come on, everyone, take a break! Mr. Blackwood bought you coffee!" Joseph announced as he placed the drinks on the table.
He picked up one cup, walked over to Juniper, and said, "Ms. Beaumont, this is for you.”
Her cup was not coffee, but hot chocolate.
Juniper reached out and took it, "Thank you." She held the cup of hot chocolate, her palm feeling warm.
After taking a break, the production team manager approached with a smile, "Mr. Blackwood, when should we begin?"
It had been nearly an hour since the break. Beaumont should feel better now. Magnus glanced at Juniper.
Not wanting more attention, Juniper quickly responded, "I'm okay now, we can start.”
After finishing the hot chocolate, she felt much better. Juniper left to record the song, leaving her phone on the seat. The phone started ringing, displaying Ronald's name. It continued to vibrate until Magnus answered the call.
On the other end, Ronald asked, "Quinn, I just arrived at the hotel to meet you, but you weren't there. Where did you go? What would you like for lunch?
"She's with me."
