Chapter 50 Don’t Meddle in My Business
Evan studied Suzy’s expression. Her delicate face was cold, so Evan pursed his lips and asked, “Who provoked you?”
Suzy ignored him.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Evan looked at her, displeased, but he still patiently asked, “Suzy, did Ervin say something to you?”
“No.”
What was wrong with Suzy?
Evan didn’t get her reply even when they arrived at the villa.
Evan followed Suzy into the room. When they passed the cloakroom, he said, “I asked CIRA to send many products in the afternoon. Take a look?”
These new sets of products were all handpicked by Evan.
Suzy glanced at the dressing room that had been tidied up and said coldly, “Thank you, Mr. Hughes, but I will buy whatever I like myself.”
Suzy’s tactless attitude made Evan’s face darken a little. He grabbed her wrist and said in a deep and cold voice.
“Suzy, exactly what’s wrong?”
“I’ve already told you that I’m fine! I still have things to do. You can go now. Come back at night if you need me to sleep with you.”
After she finished speaking, Suzy put down her bag and walked directly to the study.
Looking at her back, Evan felt a surge of anger in his heart. He immediately turned around and left the villa.
Suzy contacted Nina in the study and asked her to purchase the adapted rights for Queenie’s products. Suzy planned to film these works herself, so she still needed directors and other staff members.
Suzy looked at the computer screen and focused on her work. However, after a while, she remembered Evan. So she sat on the chair and threw the mouse aside in frustration.
Suzy had been in the study for an unknown time. After a while, Evan knocked on the door, followed by his voice.
“Suzy, come out for dinner.”
Suzy curled her lips in silence. After a short moment, she opened the door to the study.
The two of them went downstairs together. Mrs. Zellweger had asked for leave in the afternoon. Suzy had thought Evan had ordered takeout, but when she arrived at the dining table, there were two bowls of delicate noodles.
Suzy was stunned and asked, “Did you make it?”
“What do you think?”
Suzy couldn’t believe that Mr. Hughes could cook. Even though Suzy was very dissatisfied with him now, she still sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and tasted them.
Although it was just a bowl of noodles, it was unexpectedly delicious. Suzy could not help but look at Evan sitting opposite her, who was focused on eating.
Evan raised his eyes and met her gaze. He put the chopsticks in his hand and asked, “What’s wrong today? How did I provoke you?”
Evan could see that Suzy was in a bad mood because of him, but when they separated at noon, they were still fine…
Evan wouldn’t be so patient if it were anyone else, but it was Suzy. He continued asking, “Did Ervin say something to you?”
Suzy shook her head and didn’t voice the thoughts in her heart. She answered casually, “Nothing; I’m in a bad mood.”
Was she venting her anger on him because she was in a bad mood?
Evan felt helpless as he recalled what Ervin had said to him over the phone.
“Suzy, don’t involve yourself in the Carters family’s business anymore. Just do something that will make you happy.”
Evan couldn’t guarantee what the Carters family would do to Suzy in the coming days.
After she had finished her bowl of noodles, Suzy fell out with Evan. She raised her eyes indifferently and said, “Evan, who are you to me? We’re just contracted. You don’t need to know what I’m doing.”
As soon as Suzy’s words were down, Evan’s face darkened instantly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. “You don’t need my help?”
“Yes, my business has nothing to do with you.”
After saying that, Suzy put down the chopsticks in her hand and went upstairs directly.
At the thought that Evan had been nice to her and other women simultaneously, Suzy felt very unhappy!
This time, Evan was pissed off by Suzy. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, left the restaurant with a gloomy face, and returned to his villa.
In the evening, Evan did not come again. Suzy guessed that Evan would not come again. After taking medicine prescribed by Ervin, she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Suzy went straight to Starlight Pictures.
Not long after arriving at the office, Queenie came to report. After signing the contract, she said, “Miss Carters, I still have a few short chapters that I haven’t published. Do you want to take a look?”
Suzy smiled and nodded. “Sure. Send me your email.”
Queenie said a few more words of thanks and then left.
For the whole morning, Suzy read novels by Queenie in the office. These two short novels were also very interesting and suitable for making a movie, and the heroine’s style suited Diana very well.
While thinking about it, Suzy contacted Diana and sent her a message. After a while, she received a call from Diana.
“Miss Carters, those scripts are very good. May I ask, which director is preparing to shoot it?”
“This was written by the scriptwriter, Queenie, who just signed the contract. I plan to shoot it myself.”
Diana paused for a moment when she heard that. She had thought that Suzy had hired some resources for her with a famous director… If Starlight Pictures were to film by itself, Suzy would have to find a new team. Diana knew that this was a huge risk. Just as she was thinking about it, Suzy’s voice rang out.
“You can think about it.”
“Okay, thank you, Miss Carters.”
Not long after hanging up the phone, Suzy received a call from Flora. When Suzy picked up the phone, the other side said, “What the fuck, Earl is so disgusting. He called our crew just now.”
“Huh?” Suzy paused. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
“No, he apologized to me, took out a lot of resources, and asked me to sign with Dreaming Pictures again. He said he would give me a penalty fee and strongly support me after signing with Dreaming Pictures.”
Suzy was speechless.
“Rest assured, I’ve already refused. This is truly disgusting.”
Flora complained for a while. Not long after, Victor found Suzy, who was recording a song, saying that Dreaming Pictures’ staff had also contacted him.
Suzy was a little worried. “Is that so? Then what do you think?”
Suzy knew that Earl’s actions of recruiting artists must’ve given Victor an enormous enticement.
But Victor smiled and said firmly, “Miss Carters, I will always stay on Starlight Pictures.”
Suzy also smiled. “Thank you for choosing to stay in Starlight Pictures. Victor, don’t worry. I can guarantee you that you will only become more popular.”
“Well, I believe Miss Carters.”
After Victor left the office, Suzy sat in her chair and sank into deep thought. Presumably, Dreaming Pictures’s staff had contacted Diana, but why didn’t she tell him? Was she planning to switch to Starlight Pictures?
Just as Suzy was confused, Diana sent Suzy a WhatsApp message and promised to play the part of that movie’s first female lead.
Suzy immediately felt relieved. It seemed that Diana had also chosen to stay on Starlight Pictures!
