Alexander was not pretending. He had a clear conscience. He was kind to Scarlett during the meal just because of Raymond. Besides, those people were snobbish. He was afraid that they would urge Scarlett t o drink. He thus talked to her.
He was a decent man! He didn't have a fetish for stealing his friends' women! Of course, whether Raymond believed it depended on how he thought of their thirty years of friendship.
Alexander couldn't stand Raymond's eyes and was angry. He went back to the room after saying that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe rushed into the room with a cold face. The director and producer were delighted that Alexander returned, but the next second, they were frightened.
Alexander pointed at the two actresses who just gossiped. "Who recommended them?" The biggest investor of "Lost Youth" was the Sunrigal Corporation. Alexander knew that the other investors placed their people in the cast.
These two people were not the ones his company wanted to promote. Since they said something like that, they were not simple. Alexander had been in this circle for many years. He knew at a glance who entered through the back door.
He was furious, but the people present didn't know what he was angry about.
The director tried to smooth it over. "Mr. Smith, they're newcomers. They're not good at talking with others. If they offended you, then | apologize to you." When Alexander heard this, he couldn't help sneering. "So they have powerful backings, right? Even you are speaking for them! Unfortunately, I'm a tough guy. I've never been afraid of anyone in Juanton City! | don't care who recommended them. | invested in this TV . Do as | ask, or get out of here! Re-cast tomorrow! If you can't replace them within three days, I'll replace you!" He paused. "Newcomers? Not good at talking? Their tongues are quite sharp! Just now when they gossiped that I'm dating Ms. Reed, they spoke fluently. Ms. Reed is also the investor of this TV . She's good-tempered, but I'm not! If | hear any rumors about Scarlett andfrom you again, pack your things and get out immediately!" Alexander blew up at them. Before leaving, he added," You're lucky that today it waswho taught you a lesson. If it were Raymond, you would be in trouble!" Hearing this, the two actresses blanched. They finally remembered that when they cout of the restroom, they vaguely saw speople in the smoking area.
Yet they didn't care. They didn't expect them to be Raymond and Alexander! Alexander felt he was jinxed. He misunderstood Raymond and was rumored to steal his woman.
Thinking about the way Raymond looked at him just now, Alexander couldn't help touching his neck.
Luckily, he reacted quickly! If he had left slower, Raymond would probably have killed him! Raymond was back into the room with an icy face. Seeing him, Emelia said, "Mr. Shaw, the food is cold." Raymond glanced at her. "Ms. Esparza, since you don't want to sign with our company, then we won't force you." After saying that, he picked up his suit jacket from the chair, leaving Frank in the room. Frank was dumbfounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmelia's expression changed. She frowned at Frank." Mr. Lewis, what does Mr. Shaw mean by this?" To be honest, Frank didn't know either.
Emelia had an international reputation. Her endorsement was a good deal for them.
However, Raymond suddenly changed his mind.
Frank was silent for a moment. He was on Raymond's side anyway. "He means what he said. Hope we can work together next time, Ms. Esparza.” Frank nodded and left the room.
After Frank left, Emelia's face immediately darkened.’ What's wrong with them? Didn't they begto cooperate with them?" Her agent gave her a look. "I told you not to do that, but you didn't listen to me. Now, you lost tens of millions of dollars!" Emelia's face stiffened. "If he were angry about the incident at the airport, how would he have cto eat with me?" Her agent shrugged her shoulders. "Who knows?"
