Mr. Herbert received a satisfactory answer, so his expression softened.However, he still lacked interest in this topic. “Why did you suddenly ask this? I’m not a screenwriter, so what’s the point of me reading it?”He was only interested in topics of public opinion, especially the feuds between celebrities. He was the best at such things.Besides, he wanted to defend Ruth against injustice.She was clearly a victim and deserved what she got. Why did the b*stard still shamelessly appear in public?“You’ll understand after reading the story.” Ruth smiled mysteriously. “The web drama will get as much publicity as a major production, and I’m also getting popularity. I think it’s not too bad to get scolded like this.”Mr. Herbert was dumbfounded.He looked at Ruth’s expression and left the office to read the script.Not long after he sat down, his assistant came over in a panic.He put two documents in front of him and said, “Mr. Herbert, the content department said that the story
“I know I can count on you.”Serenity was at a loss for words.Ruth was indeed rich.She did not care about money.“How are you doing lately?” She leaned against the booth leisurely, and her eyes flickered with interest. “I mean your love life.”Right after she asked, the door opened, and two familiar figures walked in.Demi loudly complained that Vincent was too demanding and asked her to repeat a scene three times. Vincent did not back down and refuted by saying that even though Demi was famous, her acting skills were inferior to Apollo’s.Demi was on the same level as Apollo in terms of popularity, but there was a gap in the number of their fans. This was what Demi minded the most.Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Serenity stopped them as it gave her a headache.“Can you two please not fight whenever you meet? I just asked an important question!”“What important question?” the two asked in unison. They were in tune when it came to such things.Serenity was satis
“At least I’m willing to lie to you.” Serenity thought and turned indifferently. Then, she continued to ask Ruth, “What’s the matter with paying his debt off?”Ruth did not know where to start.Speaking of which, she was also very puzzled.Abel said he would not take advantage of women that night, but she thought that he simply did not want to lose face in front of Kallan.However, he never mentioned it again, as if he did not need her help.This confused her.If he did not want her money, what was he after?She had a poor reputation, was not favored by her father, and was known to be promiscuous.After listening to Ruth, Serenity touched her chin and said emotionally, “This man is not simple! Could it be that he thought a simple trap would not be enough, so he decided to play hard to get?”Vincent shook his head. “I don’t think so. Seeing how love-struck Ruth is, I don’t think he needs to play hard to get!”Demi agreed with him this time. “Yeah!”Ruth had nothing to say.S
Ruth had not sorted it out nor figured out what kind of person Abel was. If she let Serenity interfere in this matter, the situation would become a mess.She pondered it for a few seconds. “Did I tell you that Apollo is staying at my house for the time being?”Serenity raised her head and looked at Ruth in shock while standing beside the car. “Girl, this is not right. How could you two-time? That’s immoral!”“He’s Solomon’s fan, and, since Solomon is starring in the Gate to the Heart, they’ve gotten close lately. They often come to my house to discuss the plot—”“I suddenly remembered I have some stuff to do in the clubhouse. I’ll drop by next time!”Before Ruth could reply, Serenity was gone.Ruth was not surprised. She was happy to see Serenity, who seemed to be running for her life, disappear in the distance.Among the members of the Springfield family, only Solomon could control her.The red Bentley slowly merged into the traffic and stopped for a few seconds at the interse
Abel left the conference room in a hurry. However, he was not going to his office but to the elevator.Kallan barely caught up to him by running after him. However, he happily smiled as he knew that the wedding ring on Abel’s hand was designed by Seema.If Ruth could make an appointment to order the wedding rings while Seema was on vacation, she had to have a way to contact them!There was still a chance of inviting them!After entering the elevator, he said happily, “Mr. Blakewell, is it a message from Mrs. Blakewell? Can she help us contact—”“She’s coming to pick me up.”“Huh?”Kallan was puzzled.After getting into the car, Abel ordered coldly, “Get to Grand Empire within twenty minutes!”Then, he called Joseph.Abel ordered him to go downstairs to wait for Ruth and buy him fifteen minutes. After hearing that, Kallan understood what was going on.He thought. “Oh, it seems like Mr. Blakewell told Mrs. Blakewell he is an executive of Grand Empire. Mrs. Blakewell suddenly s
Abel got out of the car calmly and headed to the elevator. “Don’t make such a low-level mistake next time.”Kallan just stared at him with the most baffled expression ever. Next time?He would rather throw himself on the ground and beg Abel not to have to drive at such a speed and with such passion ever again. Ding. The elevator stopped on the first floor. Right after the elevator door opened, Abel saw two familiar people standing in front of him. Ruth had a huge bouquet of roses in her hands, Her aloof and beautiful face was bright with a smile, which made her even more gorgeous than the flowers. Beside her was Joseph, who stood a respectful step behind her. Even so, this sight made Abel frown. He found it a complete eyesore!“You’re finally done with work, Mr. Blakewell?”Joseph did not notice the hostile look in Abel’s eyes and just sighed in relief. Thank goodness he arrived on time. When he did see Abel’s cold expression, he started explaining what was going
Abel drove Ruth’s car on their way back. Ruth sat in the passenger’s seat, while the roses lay on the back seat. The small car was filled with the fragrance of roses and a long-period of silence. Ruth was happy when they left, but, perhaps because of the silence, she was starting to feel a little awkward. Now that this happened, how should they live together in the future?Should she increase his pocket money?After all, she did not expect this to happen before their marriage. They had never made any sort of contract related to this either. She turned around quietly to look at him. Abel’s face looked to have been chiseled out of marble, which made him look cold. But when the dim street lights shone on him, they cast a warm glow on him. When they first got to know each other, she thought that he was a cold man who was born with an air of superiority. Even when they did the most intimate things, he was still untouchable and unreadable. However, at this moment, she sud
She shook her head rapidly. They were just holding hands!There was nothing strange about that. They had already kissed and even slept together. She had to act like the imposing sugar mommy she was supposed to be!With that thought in mind, she grabbed his hand and squeezed her fingers between his so that they could interlace them. Then, she raised her head pridefully. “Of course. I won’t let him steal what’s mine so easily.”Abel looked down at their interlaced fingers and instinctively tightened his grip. “Some elaboration, perhaps?”Once they started talking about work, Ruth cast aside her girly shyness and excitedly shared her plans. She wanted to make Caelus waste his money and become her stepping stone. Abel was a little surprised. He only thought that Ruth wanted to make Caelus waste his money to vent her anger; he was not expecting her to dig a trap for him. Admiration grew in his eyes as he stared at her. As expected of the woman he liked. “When you cast your b
