Chapter 409: Judas of the year.

In the morning, Chi Lian had just drifted off to sleep on the couch in her office when someone tapped her and she slowly tried to open her eyes unwillingly. After spending all night creating a new stage, doing new rehearsals and perfecting three different acts in the spring gala. She decided to include the song into the galaxy on the list of performances. Peter Pan was going to perform it after cross talk. It was extra work but she was sure that it would be worth it at the end of the day.

She turned around, facing her back to whoever the unwelcome intruder was.

She was tapped again before she could comfortably settle in. This time round, her name was called.

"Chi-Chi," the voice called. She recognized it as her mother’s voice so she chose to stay still. Maybe if she stayed perfectly still her mother would walk away and let her be.

Still, her mother shook her once again persistently.

"Want to sleep." she mumbled.

"Wake up dear, that Du Moxi is here with her lawyers. She is going to pay the fee for breaking her contract. She is leaving Phoenix entertainment. You are the signatory on her contract so your brother insists that you be present."

Chi Lian sat up straight instantly, her hair was as disorganized as a bird’s nest. She yawned three times before finally opening her eyes.

"I am awake." she mumbled.

"No you are not." her mother replied. "You have a private bathroom in here, take a bath, brush your teeth and comb your hair then come out and deal with the Judas of the year."

" Huh." she mumbled in confusion. "Judas what?"

Mama Chi replied as if it was obvious, "Judas the disciple that betrayed Jesus and sold him for money. Zimo said the other night that my aunt who sold me was the Judas of the century.

I think it can be applied in this situation. Du Moxi is the Judas of the year."

"Uhm, okay." Chi Lian responded in an exhausted voice.

She stood up with her shoulders hunched forward like those of an elderly person. The serum may have made her body stronger but it did not prevent her from feeling fatigued.

"I will ask Jaggert to purchase a cup of potent coffee for you. Our coffee is better than the one your world has. Those coffee seeds that you acquired have been successfully cultivated in soils from the Martian world. According to the feed back from Jaggert they mutated, the size is bigger and the taste is richer."

"Uh-huh." she replied.

"The Martians are a barbaric people who love meat more than green foods, they do not realize the value of their soil quite yet."

"Uh-huh." she answered.

She turned on the water and it washed away the foam on her body. Most of the things T4 was saying were just going past her head.

She wrapped a towel around her body and brushed her teeth. Then she blow dried her hair, combed it and held it in a pony tail.

She took a pair of jeans, small sized plain white shirt and a red sweater with white stripes from her storage and dressed up.

She left the bathroom with a clearer head even though she was still exhausted.

"You look nice." her mother said. Mama Chi was sitting on the sofa where she had been sleeping.

"Thank you." she replied.

"I have not seen that sweater before, is it cashmere?"

"Good eye." Chi Lian answered.

Mama Chi smiled proudly. "Weili has been teaching me how to differentiate luxurious items from good quality items and good looking fakes. I could tell that it was Italian cashmere straight away."

She squatted down in front of a small cabinet in the corner of her office and when she stood up she had five unlabeled black cans of coffee.

One was hers and the others were for the performers who had stayed up late just like did. They were on break but in two or three hours, rehearsals had to continue. They needed the fuel as desperately as she did.

She took off her sandals and put on a pair of flat black boots on her feet.

"Mother, lets go." she said.

"What are these things?" Mama Chi looked at the coffee cans.

"Coffee." she replied. "Brother said that he would question Moxi’s assistant, did he get anything useful out of her? I would like to go into the meeting with all the information I can get."

Mama Chi said "Hmph, what do you expect? It’s the story of the farmer and the snake. When your brother took Du Moxi in nobody would look twice at her. You personally wrote songs for her, gave her beauty products and medicines which cured her illness and helped her lose weight.

Your brother hired a personal chef and trainer for her out of his own pocket. She had her pick of every song the composers of the company wrote. Other female artistes hated her special treatment but they respected her because she is currently one of the biggest musicians in the empire all thanks to our promotions, hard work and pushing.

And yet at the first temptation she chose to jump ship. I want to grab her by the hair and just rip her apart."

Mama Chi sounded so bitter, angry and disappointed. It was understandable because she had personally gone out of her way to build Moxi’s self esteem and confidence. She would cook low calorie sweets and snacks for her occasionally and they would joke around about being mother and daughter.

"What temptation?" Chi Lian sked her mother.

"According to the assistant Moxi has been in a secret relationship for a few weeks now. She has been giggling a lot, always on phone and spending fewer nights at her apartment."

"We checked her phone and found nothing."

"She got a secret phone." Mama Chi told Chi Lian. "The assistant said Moxi never wanted to perform at your wedding because she had plans that day. If your brother did not send bodyguards along with her assistant she would not have showed up."

"Was she forced to perform?" For a second there Chi Lian thought that maybe this whole mess was their fault. Had Moxi been forced to engage in activities she did not desire against her will?

"No," Mama Chi replied vehemently, "the bodyguards were there for her security. If she had said that she did not want to perform we would not have forced her. She did not say a word, she was very happy on that day. She is so good at pretending that none of us realized that she was fake smiling. She is claiming that she is not moving to another entertainment company but she doesn’t seem to realize how small the entertainment world is. Your brother already knows where she is moving to."
