Chapter 221: Chapter 221

Elena's head seemed to have been struck by lightning; she froze as she looked at the man who had just turned around.

Chase!

This man was Chase!

Why was he here?

"Why don't you take a seat?" Chase asked as he sat down casually on the sofa in front of her.

Elena shuddered and flipped out, "You are so f*cking bold! How dare you break into the director's office? No wonder you are not at your post these days. It turns out that you have sneaked here to goof off! I will escalate this issue and get someone to fire you immediately!"

Chase looked at Elena, amused. He served her a cup of tea and asked, "Why can't I be the director? Have you never considered this possibility?"

Chase's reply, like a heavy hammer, smashed Elena's heart.

All the things that happened before flooded into her mind.

Chase was the director, huh?

What?

Chase was the director!

D*mn it!

This dude was really the director of the company!

Otherwise, how could he get in and out of the company as he liked?

How could he show up in the director's office as though he owned the place?

This also explained why Olivia knew him!

That must be also the reason Ryan was vanquished under his hands!

Now she knew why the sponsorship rights would be given to the Song family for no apparent reason!

All this happened because Chase was the director of Lunanica Medial

This realization stunned Elena instantly. She stared at Chase's face blankly, feeling miserable.

Another realization had just dawned on her.

If Chase was the director, then all the remarks she made about him previously... In an instant, her face flushed red.

When she saw him for the first time in the elevator with Linda, she said that she would seduce the new director right in front of him...

Then when she was at home, she told Then when she was at home, she told her grandfather in front of him that she would make the new director fall head over heels for her....

Besides, she had referred to him as the idiotic director several times...

A while ago, she even said to Chase arrogantly that he should never have a second thought about her and that she never wanted to see him again.

Little did she know that she had just made herself a fool and a laughing stock!

This was so embarrassing!

A flush crept up her face. This was even more shameful than when Chase treated her for the first time.

She looked at Chase but could not say a word.

Just then, Chase teased, "Say something. Didn't you say you would never meet me again? Not over your dead body?"

When Elena heard this, her head throbbed!

Sure enough, this cynical b*stard was going to turn her own words against her!

Her heart was in chaos. What should she say at this moment? More precisely, what could she say now that things had turned out this way?

Her resentment grew inside her like a tumor!

Elena looked at Chase with a ghastly expression and asked, "Do you think it's fun to fool me like this?"

Chase answered, "When did I fool you? Has it ever crossed your mind to ask me who I was?"

Nearly suffocating on her fury, Elena beat on her chest.

Yeah, he was right. She never asked him who he was, not even once.

Instead, she assumed that he was but a security guard of Lunanica Media.

All this information about Chase was from Linda!

D*mn it!

"Linda, you b*tch, you've ruined me!"

Elena wanted to hang Linda up to give her a good beating so badly!

"Drink a cup of tea and calm yourself down." Chase pointed at the cup of tea in front of her with his chin.

Elena's hands were shaking as she held the tea.

Such superb Sakura Tea tasted exceedingly bitter in her mouth.

She was too ashamed.

"Sorry. Please don't take what I've said before to heart," Elena finally apologized sincerely.

She did not want this brat to use her words against her or to ridicule her.

Chase nodded. "If I did, I wouldn't have treated you."

Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That was right. She knew that this guy was a heartless j*rk at first glance.

Huh?!

No, something fishy was going on here!

Elena immediately asked with a rather depressing tone, "Director Lu, if you did not take my words seriously, why didn't you give me the female lead role of the new movie?"

Elena thought that Chase was holding a grudge and was taking revenge on her.

Chase snickered and answered, "I never said that I will not let you take the role."

Huh?

Elena was dumbstruck. "But, Linda told me...

"That must have been some miscommunication. What I said was to postpone the nomination for the lead role. Never did I say that you are not going to have this role," Chase explained.

Elena was positively irate at this moment; she could wait to find Linda and beat her into a pulp!

What a piece of trash!

She couldn't even get the correct information!

Otherwise, Elena would not have embarrassed herself in front of this b*stard!

"Does this mean that you would let me take the female lead role? But, why postpone it?" Elena asked eagerly.

"Because I was waiting for you to look for me," Chase replied.

Elena could not wrap her mind around it.

This dude was indeed astounding.

Why did he keep beating around the bush?

What was he trying to say?

Elena did not dare to get angry momentarily. She had no choice but to ask, "Why were you waiting for me to look for?"

"Of course, it's to blackmail you," Chase answered flatly.

Elena's jaw dropped open immediately.

To blackmail her?

Was he after my beauty?

Elena, who had been in the entertainment industry long enough, was more than familiar with what was happening.

Was this not the common tactic directors and producers used?

And those shameless celebrities would rush over to offer their bodies to their directors...

D*mn it!

She did not expect this dude was such a disgusting beast!

What an as*hole!

Elena pulled a long face instantly.

Chase added, amused, "Look at you! You must be thinking of something filthy. I told you that my wife is much more beautiful than you, and I am not interested in you."

Elena was rendered speechless.

F*ck!

She knew very well that Bella was gorgeous and everyone liked her!

But did he have to talk her down with it every single time?

"Well, since you're here, let's talk business. The reason I was waiting for you to come to me was that I have a condition that requires you to agree to," Chase explained.

"What condition?" Elena asked bitterly.

As long as it did not require her to sleep with him, she was willing to be at his command and service.

She would not let all the humiliations that she had experienced while being treated by him go down the drain.

Otherwise, all the frustrations she had suffered for so many days would have been in vain too.

Chase said, "You can have the lead role, but you have to promise me to endure every hardship and circumstance you will face later on."

Elena was confused at what she was hearing.

By the looks of things, Chase was serious.

He did not seem to be joking.

She could not help but wonder, "He seems to be serious. What does it mean to endure hardship and circumstances..."

"Am I going to die?"

She felt a flicker of irritation and immediately demanded, "You better explain it to me clearly."
