Chapter 245 Have You Lost Your Mind?
Bill darted out of the hospital and drove away as quickly as they could.
His eyes were blazing with anger!
He witnessed all the twists and turns in the relationship between Johny and Ceres. He watched as the
couple went on and off during these years. Johny had sacrificed a lot to win Ceres back, but Kirs stole
her with just a couple of words.
Johny was still fine as if he didn't care at all.
As Bill saw Johny's attitude, rage overwhelmed him. Why did he care about this?
Bill had an important meeting in the company, but he seemed a little distracted during the entire
meeting.
At the end of the meeting, Bill headed back to his office. Lenoard, the vice president of the company,
caught up with Bill. "Mr. Jaden, wait!"
"What's the matter?" Bill sounded a little impatient, "Didn't we finish everything in the meeting?"
"No, it's ... a private matter." Lenoard said with a wide smile, "I got a script, and I think it fits for Ms.
Alice. Maybe Mr. Jaden can discuss it with Ms. Alice?"
It aroused Bill's interests, and he stopped. Lenoard offered a more genuine smile.
Since Bill announced his engagement to Alice, many people browned nose Bill by offering new scripts
to Alice. It was what he expected. With his reputation, Alice would have many opportunities.
Bill barely knew about scripts or acting. So, he usually drove those brown nosers to Alice and let her
pick.
But there was still a steady stream of people coming to Bill.
"You should go for Alice, not me."
Bill was not in a good mood today, and this boring script thing infuriated him.
"Mr. Jaden, Ms. Alice ... might have a high standard, but we find her riddle wrapped up in a mystery. I
heard that she had rejected many scripts, either famous or infamous, so I had to bother Mr. Jaden. I'm
sorry."
Bill knew they didn't aim for Alice but his investment.
They thought that Bill would invest in any movie that included Alice.
Bill was willing to spend this money to compensate Alice for using her as a pawn.
"What do you mean? Alice didn't even pick up a script?"
"Yes, I contacted her manager, Nancy, but she said that Alice wouldn't take any role."
Bill felt it was strange, so he took the script and said, "I'll check around."
"Alright. Thank you so much, Mr. Jaden."
Nancy sat domineering in the office as Alice was sitting on the sofa and reading the script. Since Bill
announced her engagement to Alice, the script had piled up her table. Nancy had tried her best to sell
the other artist out, but the customers only wanted Alice.
"Alice, do you find your cup of tea? These are famous directors from home and abroad. And this one,
he wants to invest a hundred million in the movie. Isn't this all you what?"
Nancy grabbed the scripts and gave a mock-offended look at Alice.
Alice had a calm expression. She knew the reason that these people came for her.
If she took these scripts, everyone would accuse her of relying on Bill to get the roles. In other's
opinions, she would be an actress having nothing but rich patrons.
She wanted to prove herself, but not because of the name "Bill's fiancée."
Alice was sure that those directors might not even know her name. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"No," Alice replied straightforwardly.
Nancy couldn't take it anymore. "Alice, I can tell you very frankly that Mr. Jaden is out of the league. He
might dump you tomorrow! If I were you, I would rather make the best of him and keep focusing on my
career. Don't regret it until he dumps you!"
Nancy couldn't figure out what good was in Alice would make Bill engage with her. There were so many
prettier and sexier female artists in the company.
Even if Bill didn't want artists, he knew a lot of socialites. Why did he engage with Alice?
Nancy had been in the company for a long time. She knew Bill very well and didn't think Alice could
marry into a rich family. Even if Alice was lucky to get married to one, she would be kicked out sooner
or later.
Alice took out a script from the scripts mountains and passed it to Nancy, "I'll take this."
Nancy hurriedly took the script. When she saw the name, her expression changed, and she slapped
the script on the table.
"Have you lost your mind? Or are you insane?"
Nancy lost her temper now.
Bill had just arrived when he heard Nancy roaring angrily from inside, and he stopped.
"Alice, answer my question. Are you crazy?" Nancy angrily spun around in the room. "There are so
many scripts and so many great roles. Suppose you don't want them, fine. We can pick the others.
Why don't you take an online drama? It's hilarious!"
The script was an online drama that was adapted from an unpopular novel.
Nancy had sifted it out earlier. She even felt that the scriptwriter over was insane.
"What's wrong with an online drama?" Alice looked straight into Nancy's eyes.
"It's just that stupid people would pick it!" Nancy crossed her arms and smiled coldly at Alice. "Who do
you think you are? Isn't it just Mr. Jaden's fiancée? Let me tell you, Alice, if it wasn't for the
engagement, I would have terminated my contract with you!
"Stop being childish! Are you doing this on purpose? I've told you many times. Before Mr. Jaden dumps
you, get the best of him. Don't you speak my language?"
Nancy was fuming.
If Nancy had picked the other artists to take these scripts, they would have already become famous.
Alice did not make a move at all. It was not easy for her to seize this opportunity. Did she let her stupid
dignity ruin the chance?
"I have the right to decide what I want to do."
"You don't!" Nancy roared, "Isn't all your power granted by Mr. Jaden? Can you wake up a bit?"
The door banged open.
Alice and Nancy were attracted to the door side at the same time.
