Chapter 380: The Worn Threshold
Chapter 380: The Worn Threshold
"I’m done with the shower."
"Take another one."
Nora Northwood couldn’t escape Jasper Sinclair’s grasp. Just as she sank into the soft bed, she was hauled up again.
Back home.
The threshold of VK was almost worn out. Megan Underwood couldn’t handle it anymore and called Nora at ten in the evening, which was just past midnight in Melbourne.
"Nora, the studio needs you to take charge. Our small place really can’t accommodate so many big names."
Megan, though retired for many years, was someone who had seen the world.
Even someone like her felt the urgency.
Nora was puzzled, "Is there something wrong with the studio?"
"A bunch of people came to discuss cooperation, including foreigners. What earth-shattering thing did you do in France?" Megan’s tone was extremely excited, unable to calm down.
Nora was completely at a loss.
Her luxurious trip in France wasn’t open to the public, but some brands learned about it through internal channels, not only uncovering her identity but also her studio.
With Jasper Sinclair’s business spread all over the country and having a spot on the Forbes rich list, who wouldn’t want to curry favor with his wife?
Luckily, there wasn’t any filming that day, so no photos leaked.
Otherwise, people would talk endlessly about what brand of diapers Nora wore as a child.
Jasper leaned in beside her, his voice deep and raspy, "Was that a call from home?"
"Megan."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Megan shouted, "Mr. Sinclair, quickly send my Nora back!"
Facing her exasperation, Jasper said earnestly, "She’s mine."
"In short, VK needs Nora. You’ll have to let her go soon."
In the next ten minutes, Megan explained everything that happened back home in detail.
The brand PR details were stirring, and she left nothing out.
Nora still didn’t understand the intricacies until Jasper patiently explained the situation.
"This time, when you descended in France, the brand managers probably made new speculations, hoping to use you to connect with The Sinclair Group. Unsurprisingly, your identity information is on no less than ten desks."
Upon hearing this, she twitched her mouth, "What an honor for me... If that’s the case, why didn’t anyone approach me for collaboration during the wedding?"
"The wedding mishap made outsiders think there were issues in our marriage."
"Then wouldn’t VK find it hard to get partners in the short term?"
"No, you just need to collaborate with any luxury brand. The brands will seize the opportunity, and VK’s partners will continue to come."
In the end, Nora summed it up in one sentence, "Everyone is using VK as a deck to board your pirate ship."
No matter how you look at it, VK was the beneficiary, and after much deliberation, she decided to return to Stanton City.
...
The scorching sun was high in the sky, with sunlight filtering through the sycamore leaves, creating dappled spots on the ground.
This scene and scenery could only appear in Stanton City.
The stairway of the private jet slowly descended to the ground, with a flight attendant there to welcome them in advance.
"Mrs. Sinclair, welcome back to the country."
Just from this address, Nora felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.
Abroad, people called her the chairman’s wife, which sounded awkward and clumsy, and she wasn’t used to it.
