Honey, I'll Make You a Star (Margaret and Charleston) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Naughty Girl

"Did you ask me out because of what happened with the dance?" Margaret questioned, her eyebrows raised suspiciously.

"Yes!" Zachary coughed and handed Margaret the menu. "Order some food first. Let's talk over our meal."

Margaret took the menu and scanned through it.

"I heard that you have had a hard time in Milesburg all these years. So, please order whatever you like today. It's my treat." Zachary said, thinking highly and generously of himself.

"Then, we'll have one of everything on the menu." Margaret closed the menu straight away and said to the server next to her.

"Okay." The server nodded.

The smug look on Zachary's face was quickly replaced by a startled expression. "Margaret, are you sure you want everything? Will you be able to finish them?"

"Nope, but I'm not the one paying for it, am I?" Margaret curled her lips.

She did not even realize that she was acting like a certain someone at this moment.

Zachary only felt aggrieved. He was at a loss of words.

"Tell me, what did you want to talk about?" Margaret asked.

"Margaret, I think you should know by now that Stephanie went viral because of the video, so I hope you can keep the truth to yourself and agree that it was indeed Stephanie dancing in the video."

Margaret raised her eyebrows and sneered, "I'm not the only one in the crew."

"Don't worry, I've dealt with everyone else." Zachary spoke again. He had gotten a handle on everyone except for the dance instructor. However, he was sure that the dance instructor, who was an international dancer, would not be bothered by such trivial matters. Hence, Margaret was the last person he had to deal with.

"Oh?" Margaret took a sip of coffee. "Why would I do that and let Stephanie take credit for my performance? That's pretty shameless of her, no?"

"Margaret, how can you treat Stephanie like this? Are you still mad about what happened before?" Zachary said as he stared at Margaret, displeasure and impatience evident in his tone.

Margaret sneered, "You must be kidding me. Before, I had no choice but to sit back while I watched her steal my man away. But now, I finally have a chance to do something about it. Furthermore, the opportunity's being presented to me on a silver plate. Who am I to refuse such a treat?"

Zachary's mind was an anxious mess as he asked her, "What do you want, then?"

"Is this how a beggar should speak?" Margaret mocked. Her beautiful eyes were full of disdain.

Zachary clenched his fists and replied, "Watch it, Margaret. Don't forget that you're still a Galaxy Entertainment artist, and I'm Galaxy Entertainment's chairman. You have a contract with us for another three years. If you don't agree to this, I'll make sure you won't have any more future projects."

Upon hearing this, Margaret suddenly raised her head and narrowed her eyes.

Zachary was very satisfied with Margaret's reaction. However, he heard Margaret saying the next second, "Sure, I can agree to this. Firstly, I want an assistant and a manager. Second, I want the rights to my projects for these three years!"

Zachary lifted his eyebrows in disgruntledly. He was fine with the first request, but the second one...

"Think about it carefully while I head to the lady's room." Margaret held her bag and walked towards the washroom.

Margaret turned the tap and washed her hands. Just as she was about to take out a wet tissue, a tall figure appeared in the mirror.

The man reached out and trapped her in his arms. He put his chin on her shoulder and said intimately and suggestively, "You've been naughty. I've caught you coming to a coffee shop with another man."
