A police officer briefly asked about the situation, then came to know that I knew Heidi. He asked Matthew and me to send Heidi to the hospital. After the doctor dressed the wound on Heidi's forehead, we went to the police station to record our statements.
It was dark by the time we left the police station.
Benny was detained as he was suspected of intentional assault. Matthew and I sent Heidi back home. When I left, I gave her my phone number. " Heidi, we previously worked together for a long time. I f you’re facing any difficulties or if you need help, I'll try my best to lend you a hand."
Heidi's eyes immediately turned red. "President Lane, I _99
"It's alright." I hugged her. "Call me if there's anything. I'll help you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me."
After Heidi left, I let out a long sigh.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Matthew raised his brows and asked.
I nodded my head. "She was my assistant back then. She worked with me for a long time. She’s a capable employee and someone who puts in a lot of effort. But now..."
I did not continue the rest of the sentence. Matthew knew what I wanted to say. He smiled and said," Everyone makes their own choices. Since the choice has been made, there shouldn’t be any regrets, right?"
Although what he said was heartless, it was indeed reasonable. There was no way for me to refute him.
We had to meet the president of Magnificent Entertainment at seven o'clock. Matthew and I went back to the hotel and put on formal clothes. Then, we went to Magnificent Entertainment Company.
The secretary was already waiting in the lobby. The secretary saw us and led us to the penthouse.
The president of Magnificent Entertainment was Zeph Roffe. I had crossed paths with him before. He was a nice guy. He was always enthusiastic when he saw m e. "President Lane, it’s been a long time. I heard that you've moved to Whaldorf City with President Grant. How is the development going now?"
