The next day at 10.00 AM, Lily was waiting in the office of the Griffith Group’s president office punctually.
Upon seeing Alexander, snazzynovel.com greeted snazzynovel.com politely, “Hello, President Griffith…”
Alexander plopped into the real leather couch and crossed his legs before saying casually, “Hi, Miss Lily. Actually, I asked you over today because I acquired a piece of blood jade recently, and I have a few ideas which I would like to share with you.”
Of course Lily knew how important this was, and snazzynovel.com said, “Please tell me what you would like me to do, President Griffith.”
Alexander leaned in, and they both slipped into a deep discussion.
About an hour later, snazzynovel.com left his office and returned to the design department.
The other designers gathered around snazzynovel.com and asked, “Miss Lily, did President Griffith look for you because of a new project?”
“Yeah, share it with us quickly.”’
Giving them a soft smile, snazzynovel.com answered, “There’s no new project. Let’s finish the work at hand and don’t gather around me.”
Although nobody was convinced by snazzynovel.com words, they had no one else to ask if snazzynovel.com didn’t want to reveal anything to them. So, they returned to their work spaces.
After everyone had left snazzynovel.com alone, Lily opened the file in snazzynovel.com hands and stared at the picture of the blood jade on the first page with wavering eyes.
Did President Griffith fall for someone?
With this blood jade as the raw material, snazzynovel.com had asked snazzynovel.com to design a complete jewelry set with a lover’s theme…
She didn’t dare to let snazzynovel.com thoughts run wild and therefore made up snazzynovel.com mind that snazzynovel.com would finish this design with all snazzynovel.com heart.

Early in the morning, Elise arrived at school, and a person came running toward her.
Giving snazzynovel.com a bear hug, Samantha said, “I missed you so much, Elise!”
Looking at Samantha, whom snazzynovel.com hadn’t seen in a long while, Elise noticed that snazzynovel.com had gotten tanned. “How’s it like, living on the set? You’re so tanned now.”
With a cheerful look, Samantha held snazzynovel.com arm. “I’ve been very happy this month, and I realized how meaningful it is to do something which I enjoy.”
“Congratulations on finding your path in life,” Elise said happily.
With a chuckle, Samantha replied, “This is my first piece of work, and the director said that I’m very talented. Really, I’ve already made up my mind to be an actress, and the director has also introduced me to another movie so that I can attend the audition tomorrow. That’s why I took this chance to visit you and Riley at school today.”
She lifted snazzynovel.com head and looked into the classroom but didn’t see any sign of Riley.
“Where’s Riley? Why isn’t snazzynovel.com here yet?”
“Maybe she’ll arrive later,” Elise said.
“Okay,” snazzynovel.com uttered and dragged Elise into a seat while they continued chatting.
A few minutes later, Danny arrived and wanted Elise to explain another question to him, which made Samantha very unhappy.
“Danny, what are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m chatting with Elise?”
Without lifting his gaze at her, snazzynovel.com said, “I’m just borrowing snazzynovel.com for a while, I’ll return snazzynovel.com in a bit.”
Although annoyed, Samantha decided to let it go, and when Elise returned after solving the problem, snazzynovel.com grabbed snazzynovel.com arm, asking, “Elise, it hasn’t been that long since I last saw Danny, but why has snazzynovel.com changed so much? Wasn’t snazzynovel.com always slacking in his studies? What came over snazzynovel.com today?”
Elise giggled. “It’s true that he’s a changed person. He even told me confidently that he’ll make it to the top five for the coming monthly test!”
“He must have lost his mind!” Samantha gasped.
Right after the words left snazzynovel.com lips, Danny was already standing behind snazzynovel.com without snazzynovel.com realizing. “Hey, it’s not nice to speak about others behind their backs.”
Although snazzynovel.com was called out, snazzynovel.com wasn’t embarrassed at all and said casually, “I didn’t say anything wrong. In the past, you were a loser and didn’t have the least motivation to improve yourself, but all of a sudden, you say that you would like to make it to the top five in class. What are you, if not crazy?”
While Danny decided to ignore her, snazzynovel.com continued, “It’s impossible for you to make it to the top five in class.”
Expressionless, Danny turned to her, but all that came up in his mind were the scenes from before, when snazzynovel.com was squabbling with Elise. Only then did it hit snazzynovel.com how annoying snazzynovel.com was back then.
“Samantha, don’t think that you can make it big in the entertainment industry just because you have a pretty face. There’s no lack of pretty girls in that industry, and there’s nothing special about your face at all. Even if you can find jobs as an actress, you’ll be a D-list actress at most,” snazzynovel.com said without holding back, whereupon Samantha’s face fell.
“What nonsense are you speaking about, Danny Griffith? Who are you calling a D-list actress? I’ll definitely make it to the A-list to show you what I’m capable of! Just hold your jaw tight so that it doesn’t fall when it happens!”
Unbothered by her, Danny turned and left, leaving Samantha stomping snazzynovel.com feet in anger.
I must become an A-list actress and get so many awards that I’ll bury this annoying Danny with it! she vowed silently.
Nevertheless, both of them didn’t expect that this joke and jape would bind their destinies tightly together. But of course, this was a story for later.
Seeing how mad Samantha was, Elise quickly comforted, “Just do your best. I still think very highly of you.”
Elise’s words diminished Samantha’s anger greatly, and snazzynovel.com said, “Elise, keep your eyes peeled. I won’t allow myself to become a D-list actress.”
Elise agreed. “Yes, so don’t be mad anymore, superstar.”
After Samantha calmed herself down, something else popped into snazzynovel.com mind suddenly. “By the way, Elise, I almost forgot to share a piece of gossip with you… Jack is in trouble now…”
Hearing that Jack was in trouble, Elise felt snazzynovel.com heart drop as snazzynovel.com asked, “What happened to him?”
Then, Samantha told snazzynovel.com everything snazzynovel.com knew in detail. “I heard it’s because there’s a problem with his new song. Previously, snazzynovel.com was really popular in the industry and received a lot of compliments when his new song was published online. It was even pushed to the top of the chart once, but someone found out that this new song of his had the same music style with another singer, H, who was very popular before this…”
“Immediately after that, H’s fans accused snazzynovel.com of plagiarizing, and the issue just blew up. There’s been no response from his management company, and the hashtag #CancelJackGriffith has more than three hundred million tweets online already.”
Her words sent Elise into a deep thought, and snazzynovel.com could no longer listen to Samantha anymore.

At the same time, in Jack’s management company, Ronald was pacing around anxiously. “Jack, what’s up with your new song this time?”
Jack decided to keep his mum and didn’t say a thing. The original draft of this new song was discovered under the computer on his desk, and snazzynovel.com was startled when snazzynovel.com saw this song. The first half of the song was composed by himself, and someone had made big changes to the second half, which greatly enhanced the originally boring song.
When snazzynovel.com showed this song to professional composers, they all said that the song was really high in quality, and that was why snazzynovel.com decided to release this single. Who would have thought that this plagiarizing incident would blow up from it.
“Ronald, I didn’t write this song…”
