Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 491: Stardust’s Next Plan

He bit his lower lip hard, so hard that it bled, but he didn’t let go.

He was trying to use the pain to keep himself awake.

For a long time, it was as if all the strength had left his body, and he moved his hand away from Selena Kensington’s arm.

Then he leaned against the head of the bed, breathing slightly.

No...

The bloodline within her was so gentle, so fiery, if forcibly merged, the bloodline within him would instinctively devour all her blood entirely.

Sterling Norwood sat silently by the bed for a while, then walked into the bathroom to wash the faint sheen of sweat that had just appeared.

When he came out of the bathroom, he lay down on the bed.

And as if sensing something in her sleep, Selena Kensington automatically snuggled into Sterling Norwood’s arms the moment he lay down.

Sterling Norwood looked at the person nestled in his arms, a smile playing at his lips.

After that, he held her tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, New Year’s Eve.

Selena Kensington woke up to see several messages from Stardust Entertainment.

Stardust Entertainment V: Stardust’s New Year plans are as follows: 1: The fashion brand ’Spiritual Dress’ invested by our company, under designer Lynn Rhodes, will release its first series of clothing design drafts today @LynnRhodesV. 2: Stardust Entertainment will announce a collaboration with the team led by Jonah Hawthorne; together we will develop a new software app ’Starstruck’.

A slew of messages, plus those sent by Lynn Rhodes herself, added up to several posts.

And with Stardust Entertainment releasing such big news early in the morning, many netizens still dreaming were jolted awake.

Moreover, Hugh Kensington had long prepared the PR department.

After these posts were released, many well-known influencers and bloggers reported, reposted, and commented on the events.

Along with urging and heated discussions by fans, these topics quickly trended on social media.

[Exotic Fire!!! What an Immortal series of clothing!!]

[Whoa whoa! Madam Lynn Rhodes is an Immortal! Begging for it to be made soon!]

[Loved the design drafts, can’t wait for the subsequent fashion show!!]

[Starstruck? Is it a new software?!]

[Jonah Hawthorne... Isn’t he the former secretary to Director Kensington?! That business prodigy!]

[Whoa upon realizing what you said, I must check out this software!]

[Ahhh Starstruck! Is it finally going to be available? Guys, highly recommend it! This APP is truly a boon for fans!]

[Adding to the recommendation, I was once a beta player of this app, it’s really amazing! The developers pay great attention to user experience, addressing many issues raised!]

[Whoa, I want to try it!]

Most of the netizens’ comments centered around the fashion drafts of the ’Exotic Fire’ series and the emergence of the Starstruck APP.

Meanwhile, in the office of Sidney Dalton of Radiance Entertainment.

Sidney Dalton listened to the report from his subordinate, his eyebrows furrowing tightly.

"Starstruck?!"

"What is this software? I’ve never heard of it before."

The subordinate reported on the information previously found.

"Starstruck seems to be a social software, but its user group is apparent—those fanatics."

"This software covers much content, such as face-to-face interaction between celebrities and fans, real-time reports on celebrity activities, as well as promotion of celebrity works and events."

"Moreover, this software’s strength lies in its high flexibility. They can promote celebrity-endorsed products and appearances in movies here, and there are interaction segments that enhance fans’ loyalty to celebrities."

"This software is a win-win situation, benefiting fans, artists, and product providers alike."

Listening to his subordinate analyze the advantages of the Starstruck APP, Sidney Dalton’s face grew increasingly cold.

"Doesn’t this software have any drawbacks?!"

The subordinate paused, then thought for a moment and said.

"Before collaborating with Stardust, Starstruck’s biggest drawback was the lack of a promotional platform and the support of a large company, but this drawback disappeared after partnering with Stardust."

"Stardust Entertainment can bring massive traffic to Starstruck."

Sidney Dalton narrowed his eyes dangerously "You mean, we can’t do anything about this?"

No wonder Stardust kept this hidden so deeply, concealing it until now to disclose it.

They presumably planned the importance of this collaboration well in advance.

After all, fandom-driven economy is a significant driving force in the entertainment industry today.

The Starstruck APP is also a product of this current situation.

The subordinate thought for a moment and offered a suggestion to Sidney Dalton.

"President Dalton, not only should we avoid confronting them, but we also need to find a way to secure a cooperation with Starstruck."

Sidney Dalton snorted coldly "The Starstruck app is Jonah Hawthorne and his team’s brainchild."

"Jonah Hawthorne was once Selena Kensington’s right-hand man."

Moreover, Selena Kensington was Jonah Hawthorne’s mentor; she discovered and brought him, and even guided her sister onto this path of stardom.

Thus, making Jonah Hawthorne betray Selena Kensington for cooperation with them would be extremely unlikely.

The subordinate smiled slightly, adjusting the glasses on his nose.

"President Dalton, Jonah Hawthorne’s team has at least seven or eight members; it doesn’t necessarily have to start with him."

A gleam crossed Sidney Dalton’s eyes "You mean..."

Subsequently, Sidney Dalton began discussing with his subordinate.

The team led by Jonah Hawthorne had at least seven or eight members, and not every one of them would be loyal to Selena Kensington...

Additionally, people are driven by interests; just offering them a little benefit would make them choose what they think is a smart choice.
