Chapter 1174
Zack said, âAre you guys purposely keeping me awake?â
Abigail replied, âIâm totally beat, Iâm off to bed. Goodnight, Zack, Nelly!â
Zack responded. Iâm not letting you sleep!â
But with a âdingâ, Abigail had left the video call.
Zack turned to Cornelia, âNelly, you should get where Iâm coming from. If I didnât know you guys have a secret, I could take it easy But knowing that you have a secret and not telling me is driving me up the wall.â
Cornelia nodded, 1 get it, thatâs really rough.â
Zack pressed on, âThen can you tell me what the secret is?â
Cornelia shook her head, âCanât say now, in about a month you should find out.â
Zack was about to lose it, âAnother month? Do you guys want to keep me up at night for the next month?â
Cornelia suggested, âYou should stop thinking about it for now.â
Zack replied, âWe grew up together, when you first got your periods and were too shy to buy pads, I was the one who bought them! We three never had secrets, now suddenly you have one and wonât tell me! Itâs not just curiosity. I feel betrayed, like Iâm being left out.â
Zack went on and on trying to appeal to Cornelia, but she calmly responded, âZack, that trick wonât work on me.â
Zack continued, âIâm like this, and you still wonât tell?â
Cornelia simply said, âHmm.â
Zack said, âThen go sleep. I donât want to see you anymore. If I canât see you, I might temporarily forget about this.â
Cornelia yawned, âIâll go catch some Zâs, will check the website when I wake up. Zack, goodnight!â
With that, Cornelia hung up the call.
Zackâs roar echoed in the air; obviously he was in for a restless night.
After a busy night, Cornelia dropped her phone and crashed out. Maybe because she made a bundle, or maybe just because she was dead tired, she slept like a log, didnât wake up until 9am.
It had been a while since Cornelia slept in this late..
First thing she did when she woke up was to check their group chat. There was a new message from Zack: [The project manager from Foriver Entertainment is interested in the film rights to our comic, their team is coming to Riverton this afternoon to meet us. Nelly, since youâre in the Capital, just give me your terms.]
Cornelia replied: [Foriver Entertainment is a big company, do we have the right to make demands?]
Zack quickly responded: [Check the siteâs backend data first.]
Cornelia picked up her tablet, and was shocked when she saw the data, âThis dataâ¦.seems like we have some bargaining power.â
Zack said, âThanks to Hannahâs influence. Not only is Nellyâs work widely known, but our other works also benefit. If this continues, we could not only reach our target, I think we even have a shot at surpassing President Hartleyâ¦â
