“Brian!” she called out his name.
When she first entered the banquet hall, she saw a lot of public figures that she was used to only seeing on TV. There were even some A-list stars in the entertainment industry. For a small third-rate actor like her, this was something she could have barely dreamed of.
She knew that all of this was because of Brian Hart.
“You could have called me when you arrived. I’d pick you up at the entrance,” Brian said. He raised his hand and helped Evelyn to tidy the strands of hair from her cheeks which were slightly messy.
Evelyn could only feel that all this was like a dream. Who would have thought that she could be with this big shot in the entertainment industry?
It was said that Brian was simply the Crown Prince of the entertainment industry. He could make anyone a star with a snap of his fingers.
As for her, just as the production crew was in a state of dejection, she suddenly turned the tide because of Brian. Just because Brian Hart had taken a liking to her, almost everyone in the production crew treated her with respect. No one would dare to offend her again. Even the leading actor, director, and production staff had a very respectful attitude towards her.
This was a kind of feeling she had never felt before.
Women in their industry were rarely treated equally as men. It was very much an old boy’s club.
So this sense of power and acknowledgment was heady.
“Didn’t I come and find you by myself?” Evelyn smiled sweetly and held Brian’s arm. “By the way, I saw a lot of first-rate celebrities today. I am so lucky. I’ve never had the chance to see so many big stars before. I don’t know when I will become like them.”
“It’s not difficult. Later, I’ll ask someone to arrange a TV series for you, and then I’ll put you in several variety shows. At that point, you’ll be able to pick any script you like,” Brian said casually as if it was just a small matter.
But Evelyn was stunned. She couldn’t believe her ears. She had expended a lot of effort before, but she hadn’t been able to get into a single variety show, let alone several!
“Then what’s… my role?” she asked in bewilderment.
“Of course you’d be the leading actress. You don’t like that?”
“No, I… I like it very much.” Evelyn felt as if a wonderful opportunity had just fallen right into her lap. She was almost speechless.
“Brian, why…why are you so good to me?” Evelyn whispered.
Brian smiled faintly, his fingers gently caressing Evelyn’s lips.
Evelyn’s face suddenly flushed. Good heavens, there were still many people around!
But at this moment, she was reluctant to push his hand away.
Indeed, she knew if she were to do such a thing, to publicly embarrass this man in such a way, she could kiss all of her future opportunities goodbye.
“Why am I so good to you? Because your lips are very beautiful, and I like them very much,” he mumbled.
Evelyn was a little confused. She hadn’t expected that Brian would take a fancy to her lips.
But no matter what, this was her luck.
She had to seize hold of Brian Hart and become the most popular actress. She could even… marry into a wealthy family and live a completely different life!
At this moment, Evelyn seemed to have foreseen a good life in the future. However, she had not noticed that although the person in front of her was smiling, the smile was not genuine.
“By the way, do you know Jason Reed?” Brian suddenly asked.
Evelyn shook her head. How would she have ever gotten a chance to know someone like Jason?
Brian pursed his lips and said, “Don’t get yourself into any trouble in the future. If you really offend him, I may not be able to protect you.”
Of course, the more important thing was whether or not he still wanted to protect her.
If it was just for the sake of a substitute, there would be no need for him to go against Jason Reed. A substitute… Brian’s eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist.
After searching for so many years, just how many substitutes would he have to go through to suppress the desire in his body?!
Before the engagement ceremony, Sean specifically sought out Jason and said, “Mr. Reed, it’s a great honor to have you attend our humble event.”
“I will naturally come to your engagement party.” Jason seemed to be hinting at something else as he said, “Speaking of which, it was not bad for you to break up with Grace before. This way, she has given up on you. If you had not given up on Grace at that time, perhaps today she still wouldn’t have let you go.”
Sean looked embarrassed. He didn’t know whether he should respond to this or not.
“Oh yes, how long will your sister be staying in the hospital this time?” Jason asked in a casual manner.
“One month.” Sean felt a chill in his heart and quickly added,
“But I’m afraid it will take half a year for the wound to heal completely.”
He certainly knew how his sister had sustained this injury. But at this time, even if he knew, he had to pretend that he didn’t.
“Then don’t let her go out for the next half a year and make her stay at home to recuperate,” Jason said faintly.
“Okay,” Sean quickly replied. “I will make sure that my parents take good care of Zoe and let her stay at home to take care of herself.”
Being able to read the situation was one of Sean’s strongest characteristics.
That was why he had broken up with Grace as soon as something bad happened to her. That was why he didn’t dare to ask more about his sister’s situation.
“Alright, when your engagement ceremony is over, I’ll leave. Grace is still waiting for me to return,” Jason said.
