My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 193 That Was Not What She Wanted

Gloria Taylor pursed her lips, “If you want me to work in Sheng Ding Media, just say it. Aren’t you tired making fuss after fuss?”

Kenny Clarke choked. He clenched his fists and coughed awkwardly, “I’m just asking for your opinion.”

“Okay.” she replied.

“…” listening to her short answer, he didn’t know what to say.

Gloria Taylor tentatively asked out loud, “You do this because I refuse to come, so you—”

“Come and report for employment tomorrow.” Kenny Clarke didn’t give her the chance to ask. He quickly called Carl Cook. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Gloria Taylor sneered. Oh, look, his true color showed.

When they went home together, Gloria Taylor suddenly asked him, “Are you being nepotistic with me?”

“Nepotistic?” Kenny Clarke raised his eyebrows, “I’m not practicing nepotism.”

Gloria Taylor felt that he was being nepotistic to her. If Kenny Clarke didn’t practice nepotism, it would be hard for her to be employed by the Sheng Ding Media.

After a while, she heard Kenny Clarke said, “If I arrange a team to write a script and work it out for you and you’re famous in the entertainment industry for within half a year bagging the title of a rising screenwriter; that is called nepotism.”

Gloria Taylor asked curiously, “So, you’ve planned to be nepotistic to me from the beginning?”

“If you want it, you can get it.” Kenny Clarke turned his eyes on her. He was serious.

Sheng Ding Media was the leading company in the entertainment industry and Kenny Clarke was the big boss behind the screen. He knew everything related to the industry very well.

Those so-called overnight hits were merely team operations.

Those rising idols who was getting more and more popular in recent years were all relied on the tea operation.

Si Chengyu was the only one who climbed his greasy pole step by step.

Gloria Taylor had witnessed with her own eyes Kenny Clarke’s public relation’s prowess yesterday. She had no doubt that he could make her a popular screenwriter in the industry within six months.

But, that was not what she wanted.

She wanted to be ideal and it needed to be treated with care. She didn’t need an overnight success.

She wanted to make her dream come true with her own efforts.

It was a long life and she was still young. As long as she worked hard, nothing was impossible. She believed in herself.

Gloria Taylor didn’t know that Kenny Clarke was so thoughtful. Although she didn’t want it, but she was moved.

Kenny Clarke was a businessman. He was familiar with the ups and downs in the entertainment industry. It was normal for him to arrange such plan.

Gloria Taylor asked him, “Do you think I can become a popular screenwriter without taking the shortcut?”

She believed in herself, but she wanted a little affirmation from Kenny Clarke.

Kenny Clarke gave her a look and said, “Kenny Clarke’s girlfriend has always been the best.”

Gloria Taylor was startled when she heard the word ‘the best’.

She glared at Kenny Clarke, but he was only smiling sheepishly.

His woman wouldn’t fail. Suppose she couldn’t climb up by herself, didn’t she have him?

He could make her wish come true only by flipping his hand. How could she fail?

***

The next day, Gloria Taylor went to the Sheng Ding Media to report.

But, when she was about to set off this morning, she had a little argument with Kenny Clarke because she didn’t want to come in the same as his.

Gloria Taylor was persistent, “I can take the bus.”

Now, many people knew that Kenny Clarke was the boss of the Sheng Ding Media. He went in and out of the company in secret. Gloria Taylor felt that it was too risky for her to come with him.

Kenny Clarke said coldly, “I will let the driver send you.”

“No way.” Gloria Taylor shook her head. She was an intern screenwriter assistant. How could a driver send her to the company?

Kenny Clarke’s face was now stone cold. He called her name in a heavy voice, “Gloria.”

Gloria Taylor recently got along with Kenny Clarke harmoniously. She also seemed to expand her understanding about Kenny Clarke, especially when he was angry. Now, her tolerance was widened.

She walked approaching Kenny Clarke, tiptoed, and kissed him, “I’m an intern in the company. I don’t know what to tell my colleagues if a limousine come send and pick me up from work. I can take the bus.”

Gloria Taylor managed to tame the angry Kenny Clarke with her gentle gestures. Kenny Clarke was a lot calmer than before.

“Very well. Let me take you to the bus stop.”

“Sure.”

Kenny Clarke sent her to the bus stop and watched her got on the bus. After that, he drove away to the company.

Gloria Taylor was relieved to finally see him leaving.

However, when the bus stopped at the traffic light, she looked back and saw Kenny Clarke’s Bentley just right behind the bus.

“……”

She felt that Kenny Clarke could be really naïve sometimes.

She looked away and took her phone out.

Kenny Clarke answered in no time, “What happened?”

“Why are you following the bus?!” her hand clutched the phone tightly.

Kenny Clarke was silent, then he replied in a serious tone, “Because the bus is driving in front of me, I can only follow.”

“You—” Gloria Taylor hung up the phone.

Tomorrow, instead of taking the bus, she would take the subway and see how would follow her!

***

When she arrived at the company, someone took her to go through the entry formalities.

In the past two years, the film and TV market had grown rapidly. There was a great demand for scripts.

Good screenwriters were always wanted by the market. Some big film and television companies could find top screenwriters by cooperating with each other, while smaller companies on the other side would have difficulties finding one.

Sheng Ding Media was a big family business, but they still lacked talents in this field.

Gloria Taylor wrote a script since she was in college. She had a little experience, but after she entered the company, she still had to learn from scratch.

Sheng Ding Media was short of screenwriting talents. Gloria Taylor had arranged a lot of things even in her first day of internship.

When Kenny Clarke invited her to lunch, she threw herself on the sofa once she was in his office.

“Tired?” Kenny Clarke poured her a cup of water.

Gloria Taylor took the cup and drank it dry.

“This company lacks screenwriting talent and all of them are very busy.”

The reason she was very busy was not because of seniority, but she was indeed busy.

Kenny Clarke hesitated for moment before saying, “A screenwriter is a busy and tiring job. Many people cannot hold on and finally resign.”

“What about increasing their salaries?” Gloria Taylor suggested.

He looked at her and said, “There is no company with higher salary for screenwriter than Sheng Ding Media in the whole entertainment circle.”
