Chapter 211
Darwin smiled without saying anything.
Joyce said, "Could there be a second Nicolas Hendrix in this world?"
Ursa, who had always been at odds with Thea, looked even uglier. She snorted softly, packed her things, and left the meeting
room.
Thea returned to the office. Joyce sat beside her with a dissatisfied expression. "I think that Ursa seems to be very dissatisfied with you. There's Henrietta first, and now there's Ursa. The two of them have a lot of power in Sparkle Rocks. I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult for you to do things."
Thea shook her head. "I don't think so. Although I don't know why Ursa is going against me, I can guess that the two of them definitely don't get along well. If the two of them were in the same group, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come this for. Joyce nodded, but she still could not hide his worry. "Why don't you choose someone you trust to manage the company? I keep feeling that Sparkle Rocks doesn't seem like a good place. You're only a month into your pregnancy. If something happens..." Thea held Joyce
hand and smiled. "Don't be afraid. It will get better."
Joyce sighed slightly. By dinner time, it was already time for the appointment with Ollie.
Joyce did not like Ollie's behavior very much. Seeing that Thea was guarded by people from Nicolas, she did not follow her
OUL.
Thea arrived at the agreed place.
When she entered the private room, she heard the sound of music and singing,
A few beautiful women in costumes were playing instruments. There were a few people sitting at the table behind the screen. If she listened carefully, she could hear their conversation and laughter.
Thea could not help but sigh, 'What a playboy
She approached the screen and greeted Ollie with a gentle smile. "Hello, Mr. Windrow"
The moment Thea appeared, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent for a moment.
The others'
fell on her. Some were curious, some were inquisitive, and there were a few intriguing looks. gazes
Ollie waved at Thea and gestured for her to sit down.
Thea had a perfect smile on her face. However, when she sat down beside Ollie, she could not help but grit her teeth. "Didn't you say it was just a meal? Why didn't you tell me in advance than you invited so many people? Lcould have prepared myself." "What's there to prepare?" Ollie raised his eyebrows. "These are all my good friends. I like to be surrounded by crowd. Otherwise, I don't think it's fun. Could it be that you feel uncomfortable? Then I can send you back immediately
Looking at his half-smile, Thea took a deep breath. "Of course, I won't feel this way.
"That's more like it." Ollie's smile became even brighter.
Someone jeered. "Mr. Windrow, when did you get such a beauty Is she your new girlfriend? Why didn't you introduce her to everyone?" Chapter 211

Ollie clicked his tongue-"Gag you have some self-awareness? This is the new president of the largest raw stone supplier in Silvercreek, Sparkle Rocks, Thea Hendrix. Although she looks like a big star, she's also my business partner. It's not the kind of relationship you think." A person said, "I see."
Another person said, "Got it. We understand."
Thea frowned in displeasure when she heard the commotion.
"Bang!" The glass in Ollie's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
The noisy environment immediately quietened down.
Everyone's gaze turned to Ollie. They thought he was going to get angry.
Unexpectedly, Ollie, who had a dark expression a second ago, only smiled. "Why are you making a fuss? Let's eat. My hand just slipped."
A person said, "It's okay, of course it's okay. Sorry for being too noisy."
Thea glanced at Ollie and thought, "Was he helping me out just now? If that was the case, he might as well not have called
me over.
When Ollie saw the displeasure written all over her face, he couldn't help but click his tongue. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "You should thank me for calling you here."
Thea smiled insincerely. Thank you."
Ollie was not angry when he saw that she was being perfunctory He raised his hand and pointed at a person in the corner. "Do you see that person? He's a big director. He has a movie that will start filming recently."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Thea's eyelids twitched a few times. "You're not suggesting that I become an actress, are you? I'm not interested in the entertainment industry."
Ollie was a little disappointed. "Look at you. Don't you know that Sparkle Rocks can explore other markets? This director's movie is related to stone gambling. He needs some raw stones.
"He has a good reputation in the industry and is capable. He has accumulated a lot of fans. The actors he invited this time are all big shots. If you can become the supplier of their raw stone props this time, wouldn't that be a good publicity opportunity?" Thea's eyes
flickered when she heard that She felt a little embarrassed. "I seemed to have been too angry with you just now."
Ollie's gaze was dark. "Everyone thinks of me that way. I don't find it strange that you're like them. If you praise me so much right from the start, I'll suspect that you have ulterior motives."
Thea could not help but chuckle.
The director that Ollie mentioned took the initiative to ask, "Since Mrs. Hendrix is in the raw stone business, how knowledgeable are you?"
Thea immediately perked up. Fortunately, she had stayed up for a few days to catch up on her knowledge, so she could chat with the director with confidence.
The director nodded from time to time and thought about it, but he did not bring up the idea of buying rocks from Sparkle Rocks.
Thea gritted her teeth and took the initiative to say. I heard that you have a new movie about to start filming. To be honest, o
I have watched the movies and television dramas you did before
Then, she gave a few examples.
The director was a little surprised. At first, when he heard Thea's words, he thought that she was just trying to find something to talk about. He did not expect her to really know something.
He immediately perked up. "I didn't expect Mrs. Hendrix to know about movies and dramas."
Thea smiled and suggested that raw stones would be used in his new movie. I know you're a serious person. You definitely don't want such an important prop to fakes or special effects. Sparkle Rocks is willing to give you raw stones for free. You can use them as props. You can have as much as you want. Don't worry about their quality,
"If something from my company can appear in your movie, although I'm not the one acting in the movie, I'll feel involved. What do you think?"
The director and Ollie were both a little surprised.
Ollie whispered to Thea, "Are you doing charity? You sell the stones to him at cost. What if he asks for too much?"
Thea gritted her teeth. "This is a good opportunity for publicity, Ill accept it even if he takes advantage of me this time. Anyway, it's just a loss of some money. Can there be a worse situation than now!"
The way Ollie looked at her suddenly changed.
