Chapter 920
I hadnโt finished speaking when a low growl suddenly sounded beside me. I furrowed my brows and saw Reynaldo staring at me with a fierce look between his eyebrows, as if saying, โIf you dare to go eat with him, I will kill you!โ The key is, with his attitude towards me, why does he have the right to control me? Moreover, when I go out to eat with someone, itโs always about work, not something else. Thinking about how he treated me last night, I was so angry that I couldnโt help but hold a grudge against him for a while. I ignored him and turned to Gilbert, saying, โYou reserve a seat.โ
Gilbert said, โI had made a reservation at the Natural Serenity Restaurant, in private room number 7.โ I nodded, โOkay, Mr. Russell, just let me know the specific time when you arrive.โ I took out my phone and added Gilbert on WhatsApp as we spoke. During this process, I felt Reynaldoโs eyes were almost โshooting fireโ at me.
Johnathan smelled gunpowder and finally stopped flirting with Vonnie. Chapter 30 He leaned over and grinned at Gilbert, saying, โMr. Russell, we are all human beings, too. Why donโt you treat us all while youโre at it?โ Gilbert looked down at his phone, added me on WhatsApp, and said without looking up, โNo, I only invited Ms. Duffy.โ Johnathanโs face darkened. โAfter all, we are the biggest investors. The day you came to Freybourne, Mr. Humphrey warmly welcomed you. And yet, when it came time to treat you to a meal, you refused?โ Gilbert looked at him expressionlessly and said, โWhen you can write such an excellent script like Ms. Duffy, I will treat you.โ Johnathan blinked twice, waited for Gilbert to walk away, and then realized angrily, โYou arrogant director, who do you think you are looking down on?โ
Vonnie looked at him coldly, as if to say, โI look down on you.โ Johnathan was feeling down, staring at Vonnie with a poker face, and said, โCan I have a word with you?โ Vonnieโs face turned red inexplicably, and she tossed her high ponytail, saying, โNo, I still need to do my makeup.โ With that, she walked towards her dressing table. Johnathan followed along eagerly.
At that moment, there was only Reynaldo and me left in the corner, and the manโs gaze seemed even more intense and oppressive. I ignored him and walked away with my bag. Just as I left the crew, Reynaldo chased after me. โEsmeralda, stop right there!โ Chapter 20 A deep voice, with a clear sense of oppression and threat.
I stopped, turned around, and saw him walking towards me with a serious face. โNo going out to eat with him alone!โ A cold voice, a commanding tone. Ha, thatโs hilarious, why shouldnโt I be allowed? I looked up into his angry eyes and smiled lightly at him, โWhy should I listen to you?โ Reynaldo squinted gloomily, anger gathering between his brows. I ignored him and turned to walk towards the car. He grabbed me tightly, his voice deep with a hint of restraint. โIโm telling you again, no going out to eat with him alone.โ โWhatโs wrong with you? Let go of me!โ I really hated his commanding tone, especially the way he treated me like an enemy and wanted to control me. Why should he have the right to do that?! The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I forcefully shook his hand, but to my surprise, he didnโt pull me with much force, so I exerted too much force and ended up taking a few steps back, bumping into the car behind me.
