Winning My Ex-Crush

Fenella’s POV

The whole room fell silent for a moment as Ms. Lola stepped down from the stage. I thought the new CEO would be as strict as Ms. Lola. I was completely wrong.

Suddenly, the speaker played an upbeat song. The man named Alan immediately appeared on stage in a white three-piece suit, a white shirt unbuttoned to his chest, and black shoes.

His dark brown curly hair was thin at the bottom and on the sides but thick and slightly long on top. It was long enough for some of his curly hair, combed to the side, to fall onto his thick eyebrows.

“Everybody, rock up!”

My mouth dropped in amazement as I watched him dance on the runway stage. He danced and invited everyone to dance. Then he walked on the catwalk like a model. I have to admit that he was very confident and walked perfectly like a model.

He started singing, and his voice was surprisingly good. He walked back to get off the stage. With his dancing style, he greeted each attendee with their own dance.

Each person greeted Alan with a dance. Even Kiara, who was shameless, twerked in front of Alan and was greeted with a playful slap on her buttocks by Alan. People cheered, and Kiara looked genuinely in pain.

From afar, Greg, Jessy, and I exchanged glances. We were truly amazed and didn’t know what to say except to follow the rhythm of the music. Jessy was greeted with a flirtatious dance, which was positively responded to by Alan. Greg was greeted with an elegant dance, which was elegantly nodded back by Alan.

When Alan finally approached me, I turned around, swaying my hips while tossing my hair. Alan understood my dance language, and he stroked my hair with his fingers, just like in the music video of the original song.

His face approached with a wide smile. His brown eyes looked at me with a sparkle of joy.

Suddenly, the music changed. This time, he sang a sexy, seductive R&B song. Alan continued singing in front of me. I just danced along. Alan’s hands moved as if caressing my face. He even took my outstretched hand and kissed the back of my hand with a wink.

Damn! I felt inflated. I felt as if he were singing for me. His gaze, his gestures, and his seductive voice made me feel very special. But, of course, it was just my imagination. Alan turned to other models to greet each other with dance and song.

The atmosphere became lively, and suddenly the song changed again to a more upbeat, sexier tune. He sang the chorus at the end of the song, sounding more emotional, as if he were praising the bodies of the models. Alan returned to the stage again. He sang and danced with high-pitched emotional adlibs.

The song finally stopped, and everyone cheered. We all applauded, including me, who was truly enthusiastic about this new figure in our office. It was a completely different atmosphere from Ms. Lola’s.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Alan breathed heavily, and I could see sweat on his forehead. I realized he really enjoyed his performance, just like a professional singer. He bowed several times to the right and left while saying thank you.

“Hi, everyone, my name is Alan Schmidt. You can call me Alan.” Everyone applauded, and he nodded his head.

“I’m not good at speaking, but I hope the songs I sang earlier can somewhat describe me and my hopes as the management of Gene Talent Management.”

“The bottom line is: first, I will set you free.” We cheered and applauded again.

“Second, you must be ready to give everything to me because I will give you everything you need.” Again, we cheered and applauded.

“Finally, love yourselves; your bodies are precious, and I want you to grow better. Don’t be afraid of new challenges.” Again, I joined the applause with others.

“We will also have many new talents coming in, and I hope you won’t lose to those junior talents. I want to get to know you more, and I hope you can also get to know me. I want you to show me how far Ms. Lola has shaped you.”

“After this, we will have a Talent Show in our office right now!”

Everyone cheered and was surprised by the new event.

“Once again, let’s give a big round of applause to Ms. Lola! Thank you so much for this opportunity.”

Alan and Ms. Lola hugged tightly. Alan then kissed Ms. Lola’s cheek and hugged her tightly again. Ms. Lola appeared to be moved to tears. Alan raised their clasped hands, and they waved to the crowd. They both stepped down from the stage together and greeted everyone.

The music started to play calm instrumental music again. We all resumed chatting and enjoying drinks or food. I walked up to Jessy.

“Hey. Wow.”

I couldn’t find the words.

“Yeah, wow!”

Jessy seemed as amazed as I was.

“What do you think?” Jessy asked in a whisper.

“I think he’s good. He’s a wild, fun person, and clearly a party animal,” I commented on Alan.

“I’m sure he’s bisexual,” Jessy whispered again.

“Oh, come on, why are you focusing on that?” I chuckled softly.

“I just want to know if I have a chance with him. I hope my guess is wrong. I hope he’s purely gay,” he giggled.

“I don’t know why, but I feel like his face is familiar,” I said, observing Alan’s face adorned with a beard and thin mustache.

“I know. He looks like a famous, sexy model,” Jessy whispered excitedly.

I shook my head. Jessy sometimes couldn’t help but talk about handsome men.

“I just didn’t expect Ms. Lola, who is conservative, to hand over Gene to that guy,” I said, shrugging.

I watched Ms. Lola and Alan chatting with Kiara. The two were very different. One looked like a queen, while the other looked like a singer in Las Vegas.

“I heard Ms. Lola is showing signs of dementia, and Alan wants to buy the company at a high price plus inject new capital,” Jessy explained.

“Wow. Is Alan that rich?” I asked, turning to Jessy.

“Of course. He owns Star Fitness, Prime Slim, and Fit U.”

Star Fitness is an exclusive gym with branches in major cities. Prime Slim is a popular brand of body-slimming products. Fit U is a new up-and-coming sportswear brand.

“Oh, can I model for his sportswear? Do you think he will recruit me as a brand ambassador?” Now I was excited again.

“No, don’t think about that yet. You have to make sure your contract is extended by Gene. He will determine who he will extend contracts to under the new management through the Talent Show today.”

“Talent Show? What’s that?” My eyes blinked.
