A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

“Please get up.”

Amelie quickly snapped back to her senses and went to help him up.

Although they were in a private room, it would not do to have a man be seen kneeling in front of her.

It was just so very awkward.

Mr. Hampton remained kneeling on the floor as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand. “Miss Foxy, I am only begging you because I am out of options. You have told me you want to quit, but both Blake and Mr. Alston immediately said they would quit as well. If they quit, Miss Alston would quit too. Naturally, Miss Clayton… would not stay. With five people suddenly missing, my show cannot go on.”

If it were anyone else, it would be fine. However, these five people dominated the discussion around the show.

“You also know that our show is under immense pressure. Even if we find replacements in time, they might not be able to keep the ratings high. The studio executives might cut our show short too. Can you please find it in yourself to reconsider leaving the show?”

His words shocked her.

She did not expect such a huge chain reaction to happen just because she was quitting the show.

She might have guessed Blake would quit.

But why would Leo quit too?

Was he not in the show because of Elyse? The show had only just started. Why would he leave?

“Even if I rejoin the show, it will not solve the problem.” She shrugged.

It was hard to make a forest out of a single tree.

“It will! Trust me!” He bounced to his feet while continuously wiping the sweat off his brows. “Just your 100 million fans would be enough to boost our entire studio’s ratings.”

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say they could boost up three television studios.

Mr. Hampton envied her so much.

Why was he not as capable as she was?

How amazing it was to be able to uphold the ratings of multiple television studios.

She was praised and worshiped wherever she went, unlike him. He had to grovel to everyone just to get some investors interested.
