Chapter 946: Thank You
It was raining cats and dogs, turning the streets into rivers of gray. Office workers, drenched and miserable, walked along the sidewalk, their minds far from the usual gossip and office politics. All they wanted was to escape the gloomy weather and curl up in the warmth of their homes. But as they arrived at the lobby of Azure's building, they couldn't help but talk about yesterday's biggest revelation.
"Can we even take him back?" one woman whispered, her coat soaked at the hem.
"We can't!" her colleague hissed, shaking his head as he tightened his grip on his briefcase. "The contract is void. Besides, they already replaced him with Joonie."
"Honestly, it's a loss on our part. We let go of one of the biggest idols of the generation. We should have waited until he was proven guilty or innocent."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They both shivered, though it wasn't just from the cold. The news had rocked Azure Entertainment to its core. June-the golden boy of EVE, their moneymaker-had been proven innocent. The charges that had turned his world upside down had crumbled to dust, leaving everyone wondering what was to happen next.
As the conversation died, the office workers caught sight of someone walking toward the building. They blinked, unsure if they were seeing things.
"Is that...June?"
June strolled through the office like the sun had broken through just for him. He wasn't hunched over or hiding under a hood. He walked confidence that turned heads even on a gloomy day like this. His smile was radiant, and his posture screamed freedom, as if he wasn't just accused!
The office workers were left frozen, jaws slack as he passed by, heading straight for the doors of Azure.
Much to their surprise, June stopped before them, his wet hair clinging onto his hair and some droplets on his skin. Nonetheless, it didn't make him less good-looking. Instead, it made him look even more charming!
"Can I please use your ID cards to enter?" he asked with a bright smile. "I already lost my card."
The office workers turned to each other before absent-mindedly agreeing.
For a moment, silence hung in the air. Then, Lei sneered. "You still think you can continue your career like this? Even with the charges dropped, you're nothing without EVE. The other companies won't touch someone like you-a defiant, troublesome idol with no loyalty to their agency."
June's smile didn't falter. In fact, it seemed to widen. "Is that what you think?"
Lei's expression hardened. "I know it."
June's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Let's see."
Dan shifted on his feet, glancing nervously between the two of them. He wasn't sure what was more unsettling-Lei's barely contained rage or June's calmness.
"You're not going to find another company," Lei continued, his voice laced with venom. "You think you can walk out of here and just sign with someone else? You're dreaming. The industry doesn't work like that. No one wants a liability."
June chuckled softly, shaking his head as if Lei had just told him a joke. "Oh, don't worry. I'm not here to torment you, Lei."
Lei raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting that. "Then why are you here?"
June paused, his eyes locking with Lei's again. "I'm just here to say thank you."
The words hung in the air like a bomb waiting to go off. Lei and Dan both looked at him,
confused.
"Thank you?" Lei echoed, his tone sharp with disbelief.
June's smile never wavered. "Yeah. Thanks for letting me out of Azure for free."
