Chapter 741


    After a bit of chit-chat, Estelle passed the rest of her cherries to Gwen


    Ma craved a smoke, so he stepped outside for a puff, with Craiggging along.


    Ma handed Craig a smoke and teased, “I see you’ve been getting pretty cozy with Gwen”


    “She’s such a free spirit, doesn’t act like an actress at all! Craig couldn’t help but chuckle when


    mentioning Gwen


    Ma exhaled a puff of smoke, “Even if she doesn’t act like one now, she is heading down that path


    Once the moviees out, she won’t be a nobody anymore As someone who’s been around the


    block, let me tell you this, it’s okay to be friends, but don’t go catching feelings for her She’s just getting


    started, and she won’t stop for you


    Craig was a bit taken aback, but quickly understood Ma’s point. He brushed it off a little awkwardly.


    “You got it all wrong. I see her as a friend, just like Estelle! I know the deal between us and actresses,


    don’t worry about that”


    “Good, as long as you get it,” Ma stubbed out his cigarette, tossing it into a nearby trash bin,


    “There are plenty of examples out there, don’t be a fool”


    “No worries”” Craig scratched his head, chuckling.


    “It’s freezing’” Ma wrapped his coat tighter around him, “Let’s head back in”


    As soon as they re-entered and Craig sat down, Gwen came over with a few bottles of yogurt, “We’ve


    got shooting this afternoon, no more booze, have some yogurt to sober up instead.”


    Looking at Gwen’s radiant face, Craig suddenly felt a little down and ufortable, recalling Ma’s


    earlier words. He stopped fooling around with Gwen.


    When they were almost done with their hotpot, Gwen’s agent called. She stepped aside to a quieter


    spot to take the call.


    Ma cracked open a bottle of yogurt for Estelle, chuckling. “On your birthday, my group chat was


    flooded with messages, all asking who Estelle is?*

    Not just in his group chat, probably everyone in town was curious about who Estelle was


    Estelleughed, “I didn’t even know myself A friend set it up.”


    Craig figured the ‘friend Estelle was referring to must be Mr. Lamont


    As they wereughing and joking, Gwen came back from her call, sat down silently, teary-eyed, looking


    like she’d seen a ghost


    The other three at the table were puzzled. Craig was the first to ask, “What happened?”


    “Wow!”


    Gwen burst into tears, sobbing uncontrobly


    Estelle and Mr. Ma were both bewildered. Craig asked anxiously, “Why are you crying? What’s


    going on?”


    People sitting nearby saw a young girl crying and turned their attention towards them.


    Regardless of the attention she was drawing, Gwen cried even harder.


    “Spit it out already, you’re killing me here!” Craig frowned


    Gwen finally lowered her hands, grabbed a tissue, and vigorously wiped her tears, sobbing. “My my


    agent just called The endorsement deal that was just confirmed got cancelled They don’t want me as


    their spokesperson anymore”


    Craig heaved a sigh of relief, “I thought something serious happened.”


    Gwen cried, “Isn’t this serious enough? It was my first endorsement. Now the endorsement is gone,


    and so is the money!”


    Watching Gwen cry like a child over the lost money, Estelle couldn’t help but feel a bit amused.


    Ma chuckled too, passing her a tissue, “Moneyes and goes. It’smon for deals to fall


    through before contracts are signed”


    “But we were supposed to sign the contract tomorrow’ And now it gets cancelled today” Gwen was


    visibly upset


    “Why did they cancel it?” Craig asked


    “I don’t know!” Gwen continued to sob, “My agent said he’ll find out why!”
