Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 254: Rainbow Flattery
"Sister... I’m really glad you gave Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd a happy ending in this drama. Otherwise, I fear fans would send you razor blades..."
Sloane Hawthorne was somewhat amused, recalling the commotion caused by the finale of "Immortal Path."
At that time, fans nearly sharpened their knives against Selena Kensington.
Selena chuckled, "I really couldn’t control that..."
Once she enters a creative state, she writes with abandon, and sometimes she herself can’t quite recall why she wrote it that way.
"Butterfly Flame" is better than "Immortal Path" in that the male and female leads finally got a happy ending.
By then, Paloma had already become General Quinn, standing side by side with The Crown Prince of War.
The two of them went to battle together, campaigning against Karth.
After half a year of warfare, Karth was conquered by The Valerion Kingdom.
The mighty kingdom of Karth was overtaken by The Valerion Kingdom, and the neighboring small nations either surrendered or were quickly destroyed by Rhys Kidd’s army.
In just two years, The Valerion Kingdom unified the land.
At the joyful and glorious moment of celebration throughout The Valerion Kingdom, Paloma quietly donned a red dress.
Under the silent endless moonlit night, she performed a Butterfly Flame Dance for Rhys Kidd alone.
"This Butterfly Flame burns because of you."
These were the words Paloma said at the finale.
This drama ended right here.
Selena Kensington continued to discuss with Sloane Hawthorne for a while, jotting down notes for revisions.

After leaving Sloane, Selena checked the time.
It was still early.
After a moment’s thought, she drove to Serenity Gardens.
She asked the people at Serenity Gardens to pack two lunches, then headed towards The Imperial Building.
Selena drove directly to the underground parking lot, taking the express elevator up to Sterling Norwood’s floor.
As she exited the elevator, she saw the conference room door open.
Several people with worried faces emerged from inside.
"Sigh, the plan isn’t satisfactory to the CEO either..."
"Don’t mention it, my previous proposal was outright rejected..."
"...the CEO was terrifying in today’s meeting."
"I was so frightened I couldn’t even speak, sigh... has it been a long time since he’s been like this..."
They seemed to be whispering about something, while others shook their heads helplessly.
Seeing the elevator door open, they instinctively looked over.
Their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they spotted a savior.
"..."
Facing their gazes, Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.
"Madam, are you here to see the CEO?"
"Madam, your effort is commendable, for the CEO to have a capable spouse like you..."
"..."
She was nearly unable to listen anymore; their flattery was just too awkward!
And her, a capable spouse?!
Sterling as a capable spouse is more likely!
Selena felt she really couldn’t bear that title.
After all, even Selena herself admitted to being lazy, especially in front of Sterling, she was so lazy she didn’t even want to walk.
To prevent these executives from continuing their mindless praise, Selena reluctantly interrupted them, "What’s going on with you all..."
They exchanged glances and replied with a tone of ingratiation, "Madam... It’s just that the CEO is still furious inside... Could you..."
During the earlier meeting, their proposal consistently failed to gain Sterling Norwood’s approval, causing his mood to sour. In their nervousness, they couldn’t even manage to say anything.
Sterling abruptly halted the meeting midway, ordering them all to leave.
Now, in the conference room, there were only Sterling Norwood and Silvester Norwood.
Upon hearing this, Selena knew she had to put out the fire.
Another glance at those people showed they were quite intimidated.
Moreover, it was almost lunchtime; any meeting should wait until the afternoon.
