The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 45

Chapter45

Jeremiah himself was also the CEO of Conway Entertainment under the Conway Group, and he ranked among the top three entertainment giants in Haraville.

He wasn’t married yet, and hadn’t announced a girlfriend either. The only one he’d fuss over and take care of like this was probably just the pet bird he kept.

Maxwell didn’t say yes or no about Roxanne’s analysis.

He didn’t care about Jeremiah’s stuff, but just now, looking at that figure from behind, for some reason, he somehow felt a little concerned..

But that was about it.

Backstage dressing room.

Stephanie already did the final handover with the relevant people.

There were lots of people coming and going backstage. Jeremiah had already gone to take care of other things. After all, he was the CEO of Conway Entertainment, so he couldn’t stay with “ephanie all the time. But he did send an assistant over on purpose:

Assistant Katrina Conley was a cute but very capable girl with black- rimmed glasses, and she was helping Stephanie at the moment.

The girl was writing and drawing, mumbling to herself: “…stage confirmed, number confirmed, Serena, we’re up third.”

Stephanie nodded gently.

At that moment, she suddenly felt like someone was staring at her.

Stephanie frowned a little and looked up, seeing it was Roxanne standing at the other end.

Roxanne noticed her gaze and smiled, nodding.

Stephanie just gave her a strange look and didn’t respond at all.

Katrina next to her saw it and lowered her voice, saying, “Serena, Mr. Conway asked me to tell you, Roxanne had a really powerful secret team behind her, not part of the Humphrey Group. Every time she showed up or spoke, it was all designed by that team.”

“If it wasn’t necessary, it was best not to have a direct confrontation with Roxanne.”

So, it just meant if necessary, then just go for it.

Stephanie looked away and nodded to show she understood.

On the other side, Roxanne also looked away, but as soon as she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared.

A canary was actually this cocky!

But…

What flashed in Roxanne’s eyes was calculation.

The canary was useful to her too.

First, what started was the three guests‘ self–introductions and performances.

The first two guests were both famous figures in the music scene, their self–introductions were pretty funny, and the songs they performed really showed their skills.

The last one was Roxanne.

She was different from the first two as soon as she showed up.

The spotlight was on her, she was wearing a white dress, and under the stage lights she looked even more sad and beautiful.

“Hi everyone, I’m Roxanne, a florist. I was really happy to stand on this stage and meet you all.”

“Maybe everyone was curious, my main job was clearly a florist, so why did I come to join this show.”

“A lot of people said Roxanne just did it for the hype, what I wanted to tell everyone was-”

“Yeah, I did it just for the hype!”

Roxanne smiled, looking bold and sincere.

She looked at the camera and said word by word:

“I wanted a lot of people to see me, to see me trying different ways of living, and to let more people know that even if li hit a dead end, you could still live amazingly.”

She had a beautiful but broken smile on her face, and with what she said, it was really moving.

endured her discomfort, and calmly watched Roxanne’s speech.

What did Maxwell like about Roxanne?

Was it this kind of drive, or was it that Roxanne’s feisty personality was actually a bit like how he used to be?

Sometimes people really did feel sympathy for someone who was like their weaker self.

This kind of care and sympathy was sometimes not for that person, but for who I used to be.

And a man’s sympathy often got mixed up with love.

“Here’s the song ‘A Glimmer of Love‘ I brought. This song showed the journey of my heart these days. I hoped it could give strength to people like me who went through pain, so they could stay strong and keep going.”

Roxanne bowed deeply, then the stage went dark.

Stephanie raised her eyebrows a little, “A Glimmer of Love?”

The song name she picked was originally “A Glimmer of Light.”

Saw through the past, peeked into the future, the faint morning light was what this song was really about.

But let her change it if she wanted to, the agreement we signed said it could be changed.

Let’s see if, after the song was released, the credits had Daphne and Conway Entertainment.
