Chapter 874
With that, he got up and sat in the seat where Gilbert had just been sitting. Gilbert also sat down in his seat without any hesitation.
I just felt like there was a cold gaze looking at me. I glanced at Reynaldo across from me, and sure enough, that man was looking at me, his eyes cold and mocking. I really didn’t know what he was mocking. The person who insisted on having Anton switch seats with Gilbert was none other than him. In other words, the person sitting next to me was Gilbert, with a cold pair of eyes, and I didn’t know who he was looking at. I ignored him and poured wine for Gilbert.
Other investors saw the atmosphere cooling down and also began to find words to say. With the sound of conversation, the atmosphere in the private room soon livened up. However, after Vonnie dragged Johnathan out, those two never came back again, and it’s unknown whether they left or were arguing outside. Hudson kept looking towards the door, with a hint of worry on his face. If Gilbert hadn’t suddenly pulled me aside to talk about the script and the industry, I would have gone out to look for Vonnie long ago.
Gilbert was not as serious as he was at the beginning. He talked about his beloved director industry with great enthusiasm, his eyebrows were full of pride. He said he really liked my script and had wanted to collaborate with me before, but never had the opportunity. Just at this time, Quentin contacted him about the “Rose Queen.” He was originally going to refuse, but after knowing that I wrote the script, he directly accepted. Being appreciated by Gilbert like this really made me feel a bit overwhelmed.
I kept pouring him drinks, smiling and chatting with him about the characters in the script and the general story of the script. He would occasionally mention his opinions. As we chatted, I opened up to him, not as reserved and awkward as at the beginning. I don’t know how much wine I had drunk.
An ambiguous laughter suddenly rang out in the private room: “Oh, Mr. Russell has always been serious and cold, cold to all of us, but you see, he was particularly different towards Ms. Duffy. I had never seen Mr. Russell smile all the way; only Ms. Duffy could make Mr. Russell smile. Ms. Duffy’s ability is really extraordinary.”
No one dared to respond to her words. And did she not feel awkward saying these words? However, some people are just unaware of their own stupidity.
She was still pretending to smile and said, “Ah, I can only say that Ms. Duffy’s charm is great; even the iceberg-like Mr. Russell can be conquered.” She said, looking at me, “Can you teach me how to make so many outstanding men favor you? I doubt whether I could learn or not, after all, Ms. Duffy’s methods are not something an ordinary person can learn.”
I looked at her like a fool and sneered, “Sorry, you are too stupid; I'm afraid you won’t be able to learn.”
“Really, Ms. Duffy is so clever; she knows all the tricks to seduce men.”
When she said this, Quentin tugged at her arm again, indicating for her to stop, but she didn’t listen. She shook off Quentin’s hand and sneered at Quentin, “I praised your sister; aren’t you happy?”
Quentin furrowed his brow and fell silent. I pulled my lips and smiled at her, saying, “Thank you for your praise, but I also wanted to praise you. After all, girls should praise each other.”
