Two days later.
Early in the morning, Summer Shawcross’s phone kept ringing nonstop.
She groggily opened her eyes, reached out to grab the phone from the bedside table, slid her fingers across the screen, and then put the phone to her ear.
"Summer, where are you now? Hurry up and come to the company, I have to tell you, the company plans to heavily promote you this time!" as soon as the call connected, a woman’s excited voice came through.
"Who are you..." Summer Shawcross was still half-asleep, her mind in a fog.
"I’m your manager! How can you not recognize me?" The person on the other side said somewhat speechlessly.
Manager...
Hearing the other’s voice, Summer Shawcross suddenly remembered something and jolted awake.
She almost forgot that she even had a manager!
"I’m sorry, Jessica. I was still half-asleep just now," Summer Shawcross laughed dryly, hurriedly apologizing.
But there was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by a slightly grieved voice.
"I’m Jessica..."
"..."
"Never mind, that’s not important. I’m calling to tell you good news; your performance this time was excellent. The company held a meeting just for you and decided to promote you heavily! About the album you mentioned last time, let’s discuss it carefully. It’s best to launch the new album while the topic is hot!"
"Zeke Sawyer held a press conference last night. Now, all major websites’ headlines and news front pages are about the news of Zeke Sawyer being saved, and there’s a lot of buzz online about you! I observed that the online discussions about you are all positive this time!" The manager said excitedly.
It was the first time in the two years of working with Summer Shawcross that she received such good news.
After listening to the manager, Summer Shawcross finally understood what had happened. After ending the call with the manager, Summer Shawcross quickly opened a news website on her phone and found that the front page was filled with Zeke Sawyer’s press release.
Indeed, he kept his word, holding a press conference right after being discharged from the hospital last night, where he detailed what happened that day and publicized how Summer Shawcross saved him.
Summer Shawcross debuted two years ago, and the little popularity she had originally gained had declined because she was once blinded by hatred, acting too recklessly and offending many people. Coupled with negative news, her popularity and reputation had already hit rock bottom.
But the incident where she saved Zeke Sawyer completely turned her popularity around, erasing all previous negative comments.
Summer Shawcross randomly clicked on a news article. Below it, the comments were all praising her for her kindness and bravery in saving someone at the risk of her own life.
Summer Shawcross was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect Zeke Sawyer’s influence to be so strong; his ability to sway public opinion was even greater than she imagined.
Although she had her motives for saving him this time, she indeed saved his life, so in Summer Shawcross’s opinion, this deal was beneficial for both of them!
As Summer Shawcross was staring at her phone in a daze, the door to the walk-in closet was pushed open.
The tall figure of Noah Drexler strode towards the big bed, his chest bare, a tie draped over his hand, as his distinct fingers slowly buttoned up his shirt.
His eyes glanced at the woman on the bed, intently looking at her phone. His long fingers paused, halting their actions.
