Chapter 1228


    Estelle suddenly clicked that Jonathan was a big-shot investor, the one who’d bought the rights to Mr.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Tucker’s TV series. So, his showing up here wasnt weird at all.


    It’s just that they hadn’t seen each other in a couple of weeks, and this sudden encounter caught her


    off guard.


    “This is the Director Sun I was telling you about, Mr. Tucker introduced to Estelle.


    Estelle snapped out of it and greeted Director Sun.


    I’ve heard a lot about you, Ms. Mcin. I hope we can work together sometime!” Director Sun, a skinny


    guy in his forties, looked at Estelle with a smile


    Estelle smiled back, “Sure thing!”


    “Everyone, please take a seat?”


    Estelle and Mr. Tucker took the empty seats. The table could amodate around thirty people, with


    Jonathan in the prime spot and Estelle sitting opposite him.


    Looking around, Estelle noted around twenty people in the private dining room. Apart from Mr. Tucker


    and Director Sun, all were TV investors, dressed to the nines, looking sharp, and apanied by


    beautiful women.


    It seemed to be a business gathering. Although Estelle and Mr. Tucker were seated in unobtrusive


    spots, they still felt a bit out of ce


    After sitting down, Estelle found herself next to Mr. Tucker. She had assumed Director Sun would be on


    her other side to discuss movie stuff, but instead, a stranger was sitting there.


    And Director Sun was two seats away.


    Estelle figured Director Sun was supposed to sit there, so she didn’t think much of it.


    The guy next to her, in his thirties, was wearing a light blue shirt and a million-dor watch. He had


    chubby cheeks, faint eyebrows, and droopy eyes, and he smiled at Estelle. “Ms. Mcin, what would


    you like to drink?”


    Estelle was taken aback by his familiarity and realized she didn’t know him.


    I just have some juice; I can get it myself; she reached for the juice bottle.


    “Let me,” he snatched up the juice bottle, filled her ss, and looked at her warmly. Tm David, the CEO


    of Azure Silk. My dad’s on the board, so we’re kind of a family business.”


    Estelle didn’t care what kind of business he was in, so she just gave him a nce and didn’t respond.


    Across the table, Jonathan was being toasted constantly, his face as indifferent as ever. But every now


    and then, his gaze fell on Estelle, colder than usual.


    David poured himself a drink and smiled at Estelle. T invested in this movie and specifically invited you


    to be the costume designer. I hope you’ll consider it. As forpensation, I promise you’ll be satisfied.”


    Estelle smelled a rat and replied with a serious face, “Sorry, I don’t know you, so there’s no question of


    doing you any favors.”


    David wasn’t offended; on the contrary, he smiled even more kindly, saying, T’ve seen Mr. Mayfield’s


    movies, and I admire your work. Don’t get me wrong, i just want the movie to be perfect.”


    Estelle’s expression softened a bit. “Thank you”


    “Let me toast to you first, bottoms up!” David said this and downed his drink.


    Estelle looked at the juice in her ss and didn’t touch it.


    Mr. Tucker had been watching the situation. After all, Estelle was his guest and quite a looker. He was


    used to these rich kids’ antics.


    Seeing Estelle’s difort, Mr. Tucker handed her a cocktail and said, “David’s having a drink, you


    can’t just have juice, Estelle. But since you’re not much of a drinker, have this”


    He ced the cocktail in front of her.


    Estelle gave Mr. Tucker a grateful look, picked up the cocktail, and took a sip in response to David


    Unfazed by Estelle’s wariness, David used the discussion about the movie to get close to her, showing


    off his expensive watch, Ferrari keys, and gold cufflinks every now and then.
