Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 121

"Thank you, Mr. Blair for your understanding. Because of my mistake, Miss Lan Yu has been hurt, I feel a bit guilty about this."

After hearing Tangning's response, Blair smiled, "If that's the case, why don't you pick out a present for her? While someone is trying to take advantage of the situation to boost themselves, I'm sure your tolerant nature will help relieve the awkwardness."

Normally, the fact that Tangning didn't attend the event, was her own personal matter. But, Lan Yu's agency amplified the matter to shamelessly create hype. Just because the angry fans couldn't see what was really happening, it didn't mean Mr. Blair hadn't already seen through it all.

After all, he trusted his own judgment.

Tangning...a person that knew how to cater to other's interests, was definitely someone who understood how the world worked. On top of that, although he made Tangning wait for 2 hours, she did not get angry. This was proof that Tangning wasn't the type of person to abandon work over a simple nickname.

So, with the perfume that Tangning had gifted him, Blair's favoritism was naturally directed towards her.

"How about this...since you gave me such a special perfume, I will also give you a gift. Recently, EH has released a new aromatherapy fragrance called 'Charm'. There are only 10 bottles in the entire world. I'll ask my assistant to wrap it up nicely and send it to Star Age on your behalf."

"Mr. Blair, that is too expensive," Tangning did not feel she deserved it.

"In regards to this matter, we at EH were also wrong.

If the staff were detailed enough to contact your manager before the start of the event, then this would not have happened. Truthfully, it is unfair for you to take on all the responsibility. Treat this as a token of my goodwill; since we are friends, you shouldn't be so polite."

"Thank you, Mr. Blair."

Blair looked at Tangning, at the woman that had remained calm the entire time. He had a slight admiration towards her. He had witnessed too many chaotic scenes in the past, so Tangning's calmness was a precious commodity.

To be in the presence of a smart person was an extremely enjoyable experience.

From the moment Tangning mentioned Lan Yu had been hurt, Blair played along and suggested Tangning to give her a gift.

It's not that Tangning hadn't already considered doing this. But, she couldn't present the gift to them personally, in case Star Age had a trap waiting for her. So, Blair made the suggestion to send a gift on Tangning's behalf...since the present didn't come from Tangning's hands, if Star Age were to play any tricks, they would fall into Tangning's trap instead...

Of course, Blair wasn't going to help her without getting anything in return. As the perfume Tangning had given him was no ordinary perfume and Blair had been long searching for a formula to release to the Western markets, he finally realized who he wanted to collaborate with - The Tang Family!

After chatting for a while, Blair's assistant appeared, asking for instructions on what to do with the present. Blair asked him to send it out with only Tangning's name on it...

"Tangning, can you tell me the real reason why you did not attend the event?"

It seemed, Blair didn't believe she was deliberately absent from his event.

Tangning thought for a moment before replying, "Honestly...it's because I just signed on with a new agency and haven't made contact with my new manager. There were a few issues with communication. I am sorry about that."

"So it turns out, you weren't even aware of this event...yet you decided to protect both your agency and your manager?"

Tangning raised her glass of red wine and gently tapped it against Blair's, "It only worked because Mr. Blair is understanding..." The two continued to chat like good friends for quite some time. As night hit, however, Tangning received a phone call from Mo Ting, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up..."

"I am still at EH..."

"OK, I'll be there in 10 minutes," Mo Ting hung up the phone as soon as he was done talking. He did not instruct Lu Che to drive him, instead, he decided to go pick up his wife personally.

Seeing Tangning speak softly on the phone, Blair smiled, "Boyfriend?"
