Chapter 135
“All the necessary evidence has been collected. As soon as the PR Department issues their statement, Ill file the
lawsuit against Fitch Tillman first thing tomorrow morning.”
The attorney handed the folder to Alessia, who skimmed through the documents before passing them along to
Cole.
“Vera, put the collaboration with Mikaela on hold. Swap out her spokesperson for an A-list ambassador.”
“Should we consider future cooperation?”
“That depends on whether Mr. Tillman values his company more, or his son.”
“Understood.”
A&C Entertainment and Vera's firm were closely linked-A&C Entertainment, led by Lillian, focused on
management and operations, while Vera’s company handled publicity and business partnerships. Each had its
own responsibilities, but in practice, they worked as one.
“Alright, that’s it for tonight. Looks like we're pulling an all-nighter.”
“I'll get started right away.” Vera's face was unreadable as she spoke, and the attorney, pushing his glasses up
the bridge of his nose, walked out with her.
“Let’s go see if there's anything we can help with,” someone suggested.
Larkin nodded and followed, reminding himself that a $20,000 monthly salary meant he was expected to pitch in
when needed.

“What are you doing here?” Alessia leaned back in her chair as Cole caround behind her, expertly
massaging her temples.
His touch was firm and practiced, and Alessia could feel the tension melting away.
“I saw the news trending and figured you’d be here handling it yourself.” He knew how capable Alessia was-he’d
trained her himself, after all-and watching her shine always filled him with pride. Still, he didn’t want her to carry
all the burdens alone.
But he understood her nature, so he never tried to stop her. Instead, he simply stepped in when needed,
balancing things so Alessia could do what she did best

without burning out.
Truth be told, Alessia felt the sway about him. This company was their joint effort, their shared dream, and
they’d always been on the spage.
“Go get srest. I'll take care of the rest.”
In the early days, Alessia practically lived at the office, so she'd set up her own space to crash when necessary.
Even now, with the company thriving and her visits less frequent, her office and private lounge remained, kept
spotless by a dedicated cleaning lady.
Alessia opened her eyes, meeting his gaze.
“Who's really tired here? Your dark circles are halfway down your cheeks,” she chided, her tone equal parts
scolding and concern. Cole basked in the affection.
He pinched her cheek, grinning. “Yeah, | know. My good looks are suffering.”
At that, Alessia batted his hand away and sat up, pulling him by the wrist toward her office. Cole followed,
grinning like a fool at the feel of her hand in his. When she let go, he found himself missing her warmth.
Oblivious, Alessia buried herself in a desk drawer, searching for something.
“Still here,” she muttered.
“What?” Cole barely got the word out before she slipped a pair of sunglasses onto
his face.
“There! Your cool factor is restored!” Alessia teased, ruffling his hair. “Well, look at you-whose handsguy are
you?”

“Yours,” he said.
“Cheesy,” Alessia scoffed, but her eyes sparkled with amusement.
“Oh, | can do cheesier.” Cole slid the sunglasses down his nose and winked at her.
That did it-Alessia burst out laughing, turning away to hide her smile.

“Not just yet.”
Cole ruffled her hair again, his eyes soft with affection.
Meanwhile, in the studio, Tristan went live. Lillian, having double-checked
everything with the staff, took her seat just off camera, r
