Chapter 2015: Chapter 2025: Slapped in the Face

Who is Mr. Zeal?

These four words were like four resounding slaps landed on Lisa’s face.

The smile on Lisa’s face instantly stiffened; she could feel the mocking gazes from all directions. It was as if she had been stripped naked in public, trembling with anger, yet not daring to show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction. She forced a smile and said to him, "He’s the boss of Velvet Chocolate. Mr. Zeal and Young Master Sinclair have met before; they even had drinks together."

"You mean at the banquet?" Adam Sinclair suddenly asked.

Lisa’s eyes lit up, she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, at the banquet, has Young Master Sinclair remembered?"

Just as hope was rekindled, Adam’s next words plunged her into an icy abyss, "No!"

"At the banquet, anyone who proposed a toast, I’d politely reciprocate. As for Mr. Zeal you mentioned, I have no impression, nor do I need to have any impression."

No need to have any impression...

Now this was truly a blatant slap in the face!

Lisa was hinting to him that Mr. Zeal is her financial backer.

However, Adam outright told her that he is merely a minor character not even worth remembering!

If anyone else were to say this, it might have been too arrogant.

But from Adam’s mouth, it felt natural. After all, the Sinclair Family’s businesses span finance, manufacturing, the entertainment industry, and real estate. Compared to merely making chocolate, Adam certainly has the right to say this.

Lisa took a deep breath, wanting to bring up a few more of her backers, hoping someone might have a connection to Adam.

However, Adam gave her no chance, directly asking, "How long do you want me to wait? As an actor, do you not even possess this level of professionalism? The staff is ready, the ’background’ is already set up. Are you an actor or just here for chit-chat?"

Lisa was pale from his sarcastic remarks, blushing amidst the whiteness, standing rigidly in place.

Adam was too lazy to waste words with her, raised his eyelid, and calmly glanced at her, asking, "Do you still want to shoot this commercial? If not, I can find someone else to replace you."

Upon hearing this, Lisa shivered all over! She blurted out, "I do!"

This commercial was a result of enduring humiliation for a year, she absolutely wouldn’t let anyone else take it!

"Then get ready!"

Lisa glanced up at him, then at Olivia Lewis, gritted her teeth, and moved to the spot Olivia had stood earlier.

"You," Adam pointed at the director who had been like a defeated rooster all along, his lips barely moving, "Stand beside her."

The director, commanded in front of so many people, his face turned pale, yet dared not offend him, bitterly went over.

Adam raised his hand and coolly said, "Everyone take their positions, get ready. I’ll count down three numbers."

"3, 2, 1..."

Then, all at once, water poured down from the bucket above Lisa and the director’s heads—

Ice cubes mixed with ice-cold water, freezing all the way to the bones.

At that freezing moment, it almost seemed to freeze their entire bloodstream.

Lisa hunched her shoulders, shivering with cold.

Even worse than the ice water that soaked her was realizing she was now the one being watched, rather than the one doing the watching.

This intense feeling of inversion tormented her immensely.
