Chapter 11 Confrontation


    The next morning, Anna received a call from Lucy.


    "Now the investors are asking ck to take full responsibility and the reputation of Brilliant


    Entertainment Company was damaged badly. Besides, Alice had to quit several scheduled programs


    because of the public opinion against her. Anna, you have gone through the first stage. Well done."


    Lucy sounded very joyful. She had worked for Anna for a long time and hence hated it when those


    people achieved their purpose by hook or by crook long time ago. Now it was time for them to stew in


    their own juice.


    Anna wasn’t surprised about this result.


    "How about the third female role?" She had to fight for herself but she never wanted to make things


    diffcult for Director Bush.


    "The result isn’t final."


    "Good, Lucy. Stay low key recently. I’m afraid ck will find you trouble." Anna was more familiar with


    ck’s working style than anyone else.


    She wouldn''t be used as a pawn like a fool again.


    Anna hung up the phone and smiled in relief, which was seen clearly by the man sitting opposite. "If


    you need me, you can always ask for help," said he.


    "OK!" Anna was fully at ease with it. Afterst night, she didn’t treat him as an outsider.


    Her answer made Jack very satisfied since he knew he had earned it himself.


    "I''ll go to the office for a meetingter. Take good care of yourself."


    Anna responded with a smile. They were special to each other. They shared this tacit understanding


    and cherished each other, which was so precious and significant.


    Anna looked at the clock. It was time for her toe on the stage. Otherwise, how could this show get


    more exciting and thrilling?


    The superiority of the game must stay in her hands. Let''s see how she turned defeat into victory!


    Just when everyone in Brilliant Entertainment Company was very busy finding her ording to the


    order from ck swearing to find her no matter what, Anna took the initiative to appear before the


    company.


    She looked so energetic and lively, wearing a neat denim dress andbing her hair in a simple


    ponytail. Then she came to ck’s office.

    ."Miss Anna!" ck''s secretary was dumbstruck.


    Anna looked rxed like nothing had happened. She sat on the sofa as usual and looked at ck


    without saying a word.


    "How dare you evene back? See what you''ve done!" ck shouted angrily.


    He threw today''s newspaper on the ground where the front page showed Alice spent a lot in buying the


    roles.


    "Do you have any idea how much thepany has invested in Alice? Can you imagine what a huge


    loss for ourpany if you don''t prove her innocence?"


    "ck, what are you saying? I don’t understand." Anna blinked her eyes innocently and made a


    confused look.


    "Even Lucy is riding the high horse in front of me. Do you still want to y dumb with me? Is it fun? If


    you have trouble with me, you can tell me in advance. Why do you use such a dirty means to go


    against Alice, me, and the wholepany?"


    He was so angry that he just threw a series of questions and didn’t let her exin first. This reminded


    her of the past when he was also quarreling terribly with her for Alice. Back then, why couldn’t she see


    him through? It had always been Alice that he had cared about and protected most!


    "ck, I really don''t understand what you''re talking about. We''re getting married soon. Why will I hurt


    you and thepany? It doesn''t do me any good." Anna pretended to feel hurt with an innocent face.


    "Okay!" ck took a deep breath. He couldn’t tell whether Anna was acting. "Then tell me, where have


    you been these days? Why can’t I find you after this audition scandal?"


    ck looked into Anna''s eyes as if he was going to eat her.


    "I..." Anna coughed. "There were so many reporters in the small theater that day that I made great


    efforts to get rid of them. If I hade straight back to you, someone would have found you had


    something to do with this audition. I didn’t show up to protect you."


    "Really? But you made me lose the upper hand in this case. Do you know?" ck was very angry. But


    he was afraid to say more malicious words. He had used Anna many times these years. Besides, he


    knew if Anna really turned against him, it would be a heavy blow to thepany.
