Chapter 109 Why Did Evan Come?
The next day, Suzy arrived at the company early in the morning.
Rachel had agreed to act as the leading lady in Queenie’s romance novel. As for the leading man, Suzy decided to choose Sean.
In the morning, she discussed the fees and signed contracts with them separately.
There was an important supporting actress. Suzy was in a dilemma among all the actresses and eventually decided to choose Nannie.
In the afternoon, Suzy called Nannie to her office.
“Have you read the script I sent you this morning?”
Nannie sat across from her, looking a little reserved. “I’ve read it, Miss Carters.”
“Mm, I saw the clip of you auditioning before and felt that you fit the role of supporting actress. Are you interested?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Nannie’s eyes instantly opened wide, and she was obviously unable to believe it.
“Me? Supporting actress?”
Suzy smiled. “Yes, it’s you.”
“I… Miss Carters, I’m just a newcomer and haven’t officially played any role! I’m worried that I’m not qualified.”
“Don’t worry. You have a lot of potentials, and also a lot of talent. As long as you perform well, it’ll be fine.”
The role of supporting actress was settled. After signing the contract, Suzy looked at Nannie’s delicate white face and asked in confusion, “Nannie, have we met before?”
“I don’t think so. How can a nobody like me meet you?”
“Is that so? But I just feel like you look a bit familiar.” Suzy frowned.
“I guess I acted extra several times in Ancient Town. Perhaps we met at that time.”
Hearing this, Suzy didn’t say anything else in the end.
Nannie greeted her with a smile and left the office. Her eyes darkened the moment she turned around.
…
After Nannie left, Suzy drove to the set of the movie. Today, it would be a wrap. After filming the last scene, Suzy stood up and said with a smile, “You guys have worked hard these days.”
The filming was supposed to take two months, but it ended in one month because of Suzy’s request. All the staff members worked overtime. Suzy felt a little guilty.
“I’ve set up a wrap party in the hotel tonight. You should all come.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Okay, Miss Carters.”
The staff responded to her as they packed up the things.
Cherry was already removing her makeup in the dressing room. Suzy walked in and informed her.
“When I was in trouble, the artists helped me a lot. I’m going to invite them today.”
Cherry didn’t mind. “Well… all of the artists? Will my brother’s rival in love, Sean, also be present?” thought she.
Cherry didn’t know that Suzy had reconciled with Evan. She frowned and asked, “What about my brother? He’s an investor in this movie. Why don’t you invite him?”
Suzy had naturally considered this question before, but she kept having the feeling that it would be weird if Evan was invited. So, she never intended to invite him!
“Of course, he will be invited,” Suzy replied with a smile. “I’ll be leaving first. See you tonight.”
Looking at Suzy’s back, Cherry frowned slightly. She felt that Suzy was perfunctory. Thinking about it, she quickly picked up her phone and sent a message to her brother.
…
In the evening, Suzy invited all the old and new artists, all the actors who participated in the film, and the staff. They sat at three big tables.
Although she didn’t have much money, Miss Carters still stood up and said generously, “Please feel free to order whatever you want to eat tonight.”
Everyone responded in unison, creating a harmonious atmosphere. On each side of Suzy’s seat were Cherry and Sean.
Suzy had been hiding the news that the leading lady of the movie “Love You Secretly” was changed to Cherry. Now that Sean had just received the news, he greeted Cherry with an evil smile on his face.
“I’ve always heard of Miss Sherman’s reputation. It’s the first time we’ve met. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future.”
Charles raised his glass.
However, Cherry pretended that she didn’t hear it. She turned her eyes to the other side and looked indifferent.
Sean was at a loss for words.
Did he offend her? No. He looked suspiciously at Suzy, who was next to him.
Suzy held back her laughter and did not speak.
The atmosphere was happy and harmonious. At this time, the lively atmosphere suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the door.
Suzy had her back to the door of the private room and was currently eating. When she saw everyone’s gazes, she looked over as well.
When she looked over, she was shocked.
Why was Evan here?
Suzy almost choked on the food in her mouth. When she noticed the smile on Cherry’s face, she immediately understood. Under everyone’s gaze, Suzy hurriedly stood up with a smile and said hypocritically, “Mr. Hughes, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Sit down please.”
Evan stared at Suzy and stepped forward without saying anything.
Cherry stood up sensibly and said with a smile, “Mr. Hughes, please sit next to Miss Carters. I’ll go over there.”
Then, Cherry gave him a look and slipped away to another table.
Evan didn’t say anything. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Seeing Evan on her left and Sean on her right… Suzy fell silent. It was too embarrassing!
“Why didn’t you invite me to attend the wrap party?”
As soon as Suzy picked up her chopsticks, she heard a questioning voice in her ear. Her eyebrows jumped and she said with a guilty conscience, “I sent a message to you. Didn’t you receive it?”
A cold glint flashed through Evan’s eyes. He naturally understood what Suzy was thinking.
The two of them spoke in a low voice that no one else could hear. Suzy glanced at him and a trace of craftiness flashed in her eyes.
“Since you didn’t receive the news, why did you come here?”
Sensing Evan’s dangerous gaze, Suzy shut up dejectedly.
At that moment, Sean silently picked up a piece of goose liver and put it in Suzy’s bowl.
“The goose liver looks quite fresh. Eat more.”
Sean had a deep smile on his face as he looked provocatively at Evan.
Sensing the cold aura emitting from the side, Suzy’s face stiffened. “Does Sean want me to die?”
“Thank you, Mr. Jules, but I don’t eat animal’s liver.”
Suzy secretly glared at him before picking up the things in her bowl and placing them on the other side.
Somehow, the arrival of Evan seemed to have made the atmosphere at their table a little weird. Rachel and a few new artists were a little confused.
They looked at the two men beside Suzy and felt that something was amiss…
