Chapter 852
Nancy let out a sigh as she put the phone down.
“Did you hang out with those bosses last night just for this matter?”
Mercer asked.
Nancy shot him a quick look and replied with a hint of annoyance, “Why should that matter to you?”
Seeing the seriousness in the situation, Mercer dropped the jokes and said, “I know a few people in the entertainment industry.
What went down? I might be able to help.
”
Curious, Nancy raised an eyebrow and questioned, “And why would you do that?”
With a casual smirk, Mercer responded, “I’ve slept with you last night, haven’t I? Consider this me paying you back.
”
Nancy went quiet for a moment.
Though she felt like giving him a piece of her mind, she realized after cooling off that Mercer might actually be of some assistance.
Reluctantly, she shared the entire ordeal with him.
Mercer’s expression turned serious as he asked, “Have you guys rubbed someone the wrong way lately? They seem pretty set on making things hard for your agency.
”
“I’m not sure… But you just jogged my memory about a time when Summer Lawson from our company accidentally leaked that Carole and the CEO of Vitality Group were engaged.
It looks like the news was intentionally kept under wraps, but that interview blew it up into a hot topic.
”
Nancy’s eyes went wide with shock.
“Is that how we ended up on the bad side of Vitality Group’s CEO.
”
Mercer found her leap to conclusions baffling.
“Who are you talking about?”
“The CEO of Vitality Group,” Nancy clarified.
Mercer was puzzled.
It didn’t add up.
He knew Domenic had quietly helped Lindsey numerous times without her knowing.
Domenic wouldn’t turn against Lindsey.
Yet, only Emilio and he were privy to their bond.
Now, Mercer understood Nancy’s mistaken belief.
“Let me handle it.
Just wait for my update, and remember to thank me later,” Mercer said with a nonchalant tone.
Nancy’s eyebrows twitched, and she blurted out without thinking, “How? Offering you another night with me?”
That wasn’t what Mercer had in mind.
He paused for a beat, then cracked a smile.
“That’s if you’re brave enough to take it.
”
With that, Mercer donned his sunglasses, opened the door, and strutted out.
Chaos reigned outside.
Nancy stood frozen, whispering to herself, “Why wouldn’t I be brave enough…”
Suddenly, she had an epiphany and yelled in the direction Mercer had gone, “Wait, you’re missing the point!”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
What really bothered her was his intent to take advantage of her once more.
Nancy was itching to chase after him and give him a piece of her mind, but the chaos outside made her reconsider.
Once Mercer left, he hopped into his car and dialed Domenic’s number.
