MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND - Season 1 Episode 67

Cheyenne was just a low-level employee who held little authority and did not have a say at the Brilliance Corporation now. So she couldn’t decline the task at all.

Heaven Media was supposedly a film and television media company, and the company had signed many small-time artists. But in reality, it had failed to produce any decent films or television productions. The artists were more like escorts specialized in maintaining the social connections of Heaven Media.

Therefore, the office building of Heaven Media had extremely tacky decor. It was currently nighttime and thus even livelier than usual in the office. The small-time artists could be seen entertaining clients in every corner. Their behavior was frivolous and seductive, and the office seemed more like a nightclub.

Cheyenne frowned from the moment she stepped into the Heaven Media building.

But when she thought about the fact that she was here to discuss cooperating with Heaven Media, she had no choice but to look away and pretend not to see what was happening.

She walked straight to the front desk and inquired, “Hello, is Mr. Douglas available? I’m Cheyenne Carter from the Carter Corporation, and I’m here to discuss our cooperation with him.”

The woman at the front desk scanned Cheyenne from head to toe with obvious contempt in her eyes.

“Mr. Douglas is available. Come with me,” the receptionist said, as if she was already used to such matters. She then led Cheyenne to a private room upstairs.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the pink and purple walls and lights almost blinded Cheyenne.

Cheyenne stood at the door of the private room without going in and looked at the receptionist in confusion. “Um… I’m here to talk about business. Shouldn’t we go to an office for the discussion?”

The decorations and the facilities inside the room made it look just like a sordid entertainment joint, giving her a bad feeling.

“Is Miss Carter here? Come in,” said a domineering voice.

The receptionist gestured for Cheyenne to enter. “Mr. Douglas is waiting for you inside. Miss Carter, please.”

Cheyenne took a deep breath, bit the bullet, and entered the room in a dignified gait.

There was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old with a checkered shirt sitting on the couch. His hair was slightly sparse, and despite the smile on his face, he didn’t seem very affable or approachable.

He was Gordon Douglas, the chairman of Heaven Media and Brad Douglas’s father.

When he saw Cheyenne enter, a flash of amazement appeared in his eyes.

“Haha, Miss Carter, I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re worthy of being the greatest beauty of Orange County!” Gordon stood up and extended his hand toward Cheyenne.

Cheyenne extended her arm politely and shook his hand. “Hello, Mr. Douglas.”

She was about to let go, but she realized that Gordon was still holding her hand tightly. In fact, he even grazed his thumb against her hand.

“Indeed, you look even more beautiful up close in person. They all say that women look even more beautiful under the light. That’s indeed true.” Gordon chuckled with his eyes glued to Cheyenne’s face.

Cheyenne frowned, thinking that Gordon Douglas had already crossed the line.

“You’re being too polite,” Cheyenne said calmly while retracting her hand.

If not for the cooperation, Cheyenne wouldn’t even have bothered to talk to him. She would have long opened the door and left.

“Mr. Douglas, I’m here today mainly for the cooperation between the Brilliance Corporation and your company. As you know, the Brilliance Corporation and the Stardust Corporation reached a long-term strategic partnership a few days ago. Enterprises and companies of various sizes have extended their invitations to us to seek cooperation. I won’t say much about the development prospects of the Brilliance Corporation. We hope to achieve win-win cooperation with the major companies. What do you think?” Cheyenne said politely in a businesslike manner.

During the banquet two days ago, the Brilliance Corporation became a famous company in the county with whom everyone vied to cooperate.

In fact, the cooperation invitations of the various companies were already enough. There was no need for her to specially go to Heaven Media to discuss.

After all, there were many companies wanting to cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation, and if Heaven Media rejected them, it would be their own loss.

“Haha, I know what you mean, Miss Carter. The Brilliance Corporation is now very famous!” Gordon sat down on the couch again, leaned back against it, and pointed to the seat beside him. “Have a seat too, Miss Carter.”

Cheyenne frowned inwardly and sat down on the other couch beside the coffee table.

Gordon Douglas acted as if he didn’t see it at all. He picked up two glasses of champagne from a tray nonchalantly and gave one to Cheyenne.

“Miss Carter, you came here personally to discuss cooperating. Of course, I have to discuss it with you on your account. You want to cooperate? No problem! We can sign the contract in a bit! Let’s toast to our happy cooperation!” Gordon said straightforwardly.

Cheyenne was a bit surprised. She initially thought that the cooperation would definitely fail, but she didn’t expect him to agree so quickly.

Seeing the wine glass being handed to her, Cheyenne grabbed it and clinked her glass with Gordon’s. “Thank you, Mr. Douglas. Here’s to our happy cooperation!”

Gordon laughed and finished the champagne in one gulp. “I’ve downed my glass. Miss Carter, help yourself.”

Since Cheyenne couldn’t turn him down, she could only drink it. Fortunately, it was not high in alcohol content.

Gordon grinned. “I heard that you’re married, Miss Carter, and your husband is a live-in son-in-law.”

Cheyenne frowned slightly, not knowing why he suddenly brought up this matter. Nevertheless, she nodded to express assent. “I didn’t expect you to have heard about my personal life.”

Gordon propped himself up with his hands on the couch. “Of course. Your husband is very capable!”

Cheyenne was confused by his answer. Does he know Lucas?

Cheyenne only just realized that Lucas was an extraordinary person during the banquet a few days ago. Based on what Gordon said, she wondered if he was friends with Lucas.

Cheyenne asked, “Mr. Douglas, are you friends with my husband?”

Hearing this, Gordon suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard a funny joke. “Hahaha. Friend? Of course not! Miss Carter, do you still remember what happened at the Luxe the day before yesterday?”

At the mention of the Luxe, Cheyenne obviously remembered everything that happened that day. Charlotte was abducted by Bryce, brought to the club, and almost violated…

Wait!

The person who colluded with Bryce to abduct Charlotte was Brad Douglas!

He’s a Douglas too!
