“Dane, please stop making fun of me. We all know that you are the most important person in the company,” Isabella said with a smile.
After resting at home for a few days, Isabella decided to visit the set to see how the shooting was going. Most members of the cast in this movie were artists from their company. Since the acting skills were solid, everything went well for her. But things might be hard for others. This time, the director Isabella chose was Sewell Bowman, who had previously directed a science fiction movie that was later canceled due to insufficient investment.
Sewell expressed his gratitude to Isabella for giving him this opportunity.
“Miss Patton, thank you so much. I really didn’t expect to be able to direct another science fiction movie!” As he spoke, he looked at Isabella with gratitude.
Isabella smiled. “Although you haven’t finished shooting that movie, I’ve watched part of it. I must say this genre is your forte. You are a talented director.”
“Alas, I love directing science fiction movies, but there are too few good scripts in this genre, and the production costs a lot of money,” Sewell sighed. “In fact, I didn’t expect to have a chance to direct this kind of film again. It’s really an honor for me. I am confident I can finish it successfully this time. After all, the script is very good, and we have sufficient funds.”
“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to tell me,” Isabella said.
At that moment, Maxine saw Isabella. She came over and greeted Isabella happily.
The moment Isabella looked at Maxine, the first thing she noticed was Maxine’s earrings. “I notice that you always wear this pair.”
Maxine nodded shyly, leaned over, and whispered in Isabella’s ear, “My boyfriend gave them to me.”
Isabella was a little surprised. She didn’t know Maxine had a boyfriend. And Maxine was willing to tell her about it, which only meant that Maxine really treated her as a friend. After all, many artists preferred to hide their relationships from their companies. Although most companies’ contracts didn’t prohibit artists from having relationships, the artists felt relationships would harm their reputation, so they chose to keep them secret. Even their agents didn’t know.
Isabella nodded. “Your boyfriend seems to treat you well. May I know who he is?”
“Miss Patton, I’m sorry. We have to shoot the next scene,” Sewell interrupted before Isabella could finish her question.
Indeed, Sewell was devoted to his work. Although Isabella was there, he wouldn’t delay the progress of their shooting.
Isabella waved her hand, letting them return to their work. She watched them film for a while. After making sure there was no problem, she quietly left the set. On her way out, Isabella thought she saw a familiar car.
“Was it… Jada’s car?”
While Isabella was lost in thought, Jada got out of the car.
“Isabella…” Jada greeted her in a very affectionate tone. “I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“What are you doing here?” Isabella asked. There was nothing interesting around the set, after all.
Jada replied, “I’m here to gather ideas and see if I can get some new inspirations. After all, the perfume-making competition is about to begin.”
Isabella nodded, clearly understanding what Jada was talking about.
“Isabella, I’m so sorry for what happened last time. I really didn’t know it was my assistant who did it. She just felt I was being bullied by my sister and wanted to stand up for me,” Jada said, holding Isabella’s hand.
“Are you angry at me?”
Isabella remained silent.
Jada quickly added, “Isabella, I know you must be angry. Why don’t we go shopping? You can buy whatever you want. It’s on me. Consider it my apology, okay? Please give me another chance.” It seemed that Jada was still unwilling to give up her friendship with Isabella.
“Okay…” Isabella agreed reluctantly.
Jada took Isabella to the most luxurious shopping mall. In the sprawling luxury of the mall, Isabella showed no pretense with Jada. She picked out every piece of clothing that caught her fancy, even throwing in a few items that Susan might appreciate. Hours passed, and Jada had already spent a small fortune. Yet Isabella’s enthusiasm remained undeterred, her eyes still wandering for more. Unable to contain herself any longer, Jada finally interjected, “How about we take a break and grab a meal?”
“Grab a meal? Okay!”
They opted for a Michelin 3-star restaurant. As they settled into their seats, Jada felt helpless.
She genuinely wanted to make amends with Isabella, but she hadn’t anticipated the amount of money she would have to spend. She had been the one to bring it up, and now she was too embarrassed to backtrack and stop Isabella. In this restaurant, she would end up spending at least over a hundred thousand for a single meal. Jada stared at her card in silence.
“Jada, what’s the matter? You seem upset,” Isabella glanced at Jada with concern.
“Do you think I went overboard? I’m sorry. I tend to shop like this without realizing it.”
“Ah, it’s fine. It’s not often we get to shop together, so we might as well enjoy it!” Jada replied quickly. Isabella’s smile grew as she said, “I knew you’d be generous. You’re not the type to be stingy.” Jada managed a strained smile in response.
After settling the bill, Jada found herself out of money. She was no longer in the mood to continue the outing with Isabella, so she quickly concocted an excuse and headed back to the office.
Back at the office, Jada scrutinized the photo she had taken earlier on the set.
The woman in the photo bore striking resemblance to her.
Jada felt a wave of disgust. How could Norton have found a substitute?
?????? ????????????? ?????????????.?????/p>
Jada dialed Norton’s number.
After a few casual exchanges, Jada’s smile widened as she asked, “Norton, when are you planning to introduce your girlfriend to us? Everyone’s been buzzing with curiosity.”
“Oh, she’s a bit shy.”
“Really? We’re all good friends here, and your girlfriend is one of us too. Once we get to know each other, we can all share the good things in life. Also, I’ve heard a little story.”
“What story are you talking about?” Norton asked.
“One of my friends had a girlfriend who never wanted to meet anyone. Eventually, we discovered that she was involved with other men. She was completely unfaithful. My friend was heartbroken; he’d been deceived…”
“Maxine isn’t like that!” Norton interjected. “Jada, you don’t need to worry. My girlfriend is nothing like that.”
“Alright… I didn’t mean anything by it. I just want you to be cautious.”
Setting his phone down, Norton felt a swirl of conflicting emotions. He was on the set where Maxine was filming. Under the guise of an investor’s visit, he had come to see her after a long time apart. Now, he was sitting in the lounge, waiting for her. Maxine came over.
“Have you finished shooting?” Norton asked.
Maxine nodded and asked in a soft voice, “Why did you come here?”
“I came to see you. What’s the matter? Didn’t you miss me?” Norton felt upset.
“Were you speaking to just now?” Maxine asked.
“My friend Jada. She wants to meet you,” Norton said with a hint of frustration. “We’ve been together for quite a while now, and my friends are all curious about you!”
“Jada?” Maxine was taken aback.
“Yes, Jada Riggs. Do you know her?”
Pretty much everyone in Ansport knew Jada, and Maxine had also heard about her. Her boss was in a relationship with Andrew, and Jada was famously known as her boss’s romantic rival.
Noting the hesitation in Maxine’s eyes, Norton reassured her, “It’s fine if you don’t want to go. There’s no pressure.”
“I’ll go.”
Surprised, Norton lifted her up in delight. “Really? That’s wonderful!”
“Are you out of your mind? We’re on set!” Maxine was stunned but kept her voice low.
With a sheepish grin, Norton gently set her down and beamed. “I’m just thrilled! Maxine, you’re actually willing to meet my friends!”
“Silly,” Maxine said, laughing despite herself at seeing his happiness.
At her villa, Isabella was relaxing with a facial mask when Andrew mentioned, “Norton wants us to join him for dinner. He’s planning to introduce his girlfriend to us.”
Isabella, surprised, asked, “Is he finally ready to introduce his girlfriend to us?”
“Yep. Do you want to go?”
“Yes, I’ll go with you.” Andrew’s gaze softened as he looked at Isabella, his arms wrapping gently around her waist. He gave her a playful pinch. Over the past few days, he’d gone to great lengths to whip up delicious meals just for her. Her figure was slightly fuller than before. “Darling, you’re more adorable with a little weight.”
