Chapter 301: Chapter 301

"Wyatt, Anna just told us she absolutely loves watching your shows and says you look like her first love. No wonder you’re the nation’s heartthrob! The whole crew was following that idol drama you just finished. Anna’s shooting her first TV series, so if you have time, do guide her a bit," the director chimed in, creating a bridge of communication for them.

But that’s really too much, isn’t it?

Anna Thornton only checked out a few of Wyatt Jagger’s works with an attitude of understanding once she knew he’d be a co-actor after getting the script.

Earlier, when the director asked her what she thought of Wyatt Jagger, Anna Thornton merely stated objectively that she found his acting pretty decent.

She never said she was super into him, much less anything about a first-love boyfriend!

Has the director watched too many idol dramas, tossing her into this kind of cheesy and ambiguous drama?

Clearly, Wyatt Jagger took it seriously; he looked at Anna Thornton, stating and warning her very solemnly, "Let me be clear, I don’t accept any form of CP publicity. But I know Miss Thornton and your agent are skilled at that sort of thing; I advise you both to give up on that thought sooner."

Wyatt Jagger’s persona in front of fans is straightforward; everyone in the industry knows he’s low on emotional intelligence and tends to offend.

But meeting her without even giving the girl a way out, that’s just too much.

The situation got awkward!

Some even started whispering, hearing that Wyatt Jagger initially suggested to the director to change the female lead.

Because he disliked that Anna Thornton had a child and thought she wasn’t suitable to play a student acting young.

The known fact is girls are thin-skinned; most in such a scenario would likely cover their faces and rush to the restroom.

Everyone prepared mentally to comfort her afterward.

But, to everyone’s surprise, Anna Thornton didn’t back down in front of Wyatt Jagger.

The glass of wine she was holding, nobody took it, so she tilted it directly; beer poured from Anna Thornton’s glass, spilling onto the floor, splashing onto Wyatt Jagger’s shoes.

Wyatt Jagger jumped off the couch, shocked, demanding from Anna Thornton: "What are you doing?"

"Didn’t the assistant director just say? You look like my first love, and he was a jerk. That glass of wine just now was me suddenly wanting to commemorate my lost youth!"

"Wyatt, don’t be angry, I just couldn’t hold back. And I’m really sorry for dirtying your shoes. Quite a coincidence, we like the same trendy brand. I also ordered this year’s new design of this style, I’ll have my agent contact and change the size, once the shoes are here, I’ll compensate you."

"Anna, these shoes are really hard to get now, we queued for three months." Mary emphasized.

"No worries, seeing someone else wear them made me realize this style is not great."

"Pfft..." Mary knew it; Anna, in front or behind people, never swallows the slightest indignity, let alone ever losing in verbal fights.

Wyatt Jagger intended to humble her in public, but who knew he’d end up half-dead with anger?

However, neither the director nor crew members could find this amusing. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0velFire.ɴet

The series hasn’t even started filming, and the male and female leads are already at each other’s throats!

How can the days ahead be good?

After attending the dinner gathering, Anna Thornton and Mary left together, both having drunk quite a bit.

Mary said she’d find a designated driver, but Anna Thornton waited for over ten minutes without seeing Mary return.

Walking a bit further along the roadside, she spotted a black supercar, and a man in a black suit leaning against the door, smoking lazily.

"Conrad Sterling, where’s Mary?"

"I let the driver take her home."

Anna Thornton pointed at herself, "What about me?"

Seeing the man finish the last puff, he opened the passenger door, indicating to her, "Get in!"

"I’m not getting in your car; your driving skills are terrible. Let Mary’s driver come back for me." Anna Thornton still remembered the fear from Conrad Sterling’s last speeding.

"The driver already took Mary home."

"I’ll get a cab myself."

Seeing Anna Thornton reaching out to flag a taxi, Conrad Sterling straightforwardly picked her up and tossed her into his car.

This scene was just witnessed by Wyatt Jagger driving by.

More shockingly, Wyatt Jagger saw the two in the car starting to kiss.

Indeed, a messy private life!

Anna Thornton slapped, interrupting Conrad Sterling’s forceful kiss.

"It’s all your fault! Conrad Sterling, it’s all your fault!"

President Sterling got slapped; if it was just because she didn’t allow kissing, then fine.

But Anna Thornton’s words left him puzzled, "What did I do?"

"Because of you, I’m no longer a young girl!" Anna Thornton said angrily.

"Did you know someone thinks I’m not suitable to act in idol dramas because I have kids and am pretending to be young? But I’m only twenty-two, do I really not seem cute anymore?"

Who says Anna Thornton isn’t cute?

Looking at her pout as she complained, Conrad Sterling couldn’t help but laugh, "I’ll teach him a lesson for you!"

"Forget it, forget it!"

Wyatt Jagger disliked Anna Thornton, but Anna Thornton had already ’returned the favor’.

She doesn’t seem to lose on the surface, but she’s still a girl, feeling grievances against Wyatt Jagger’s words to the director about her having kids, behind her back.

But in this matter, the blame mainly lies with Conrad Sterling!

Anna Thornton met him at eighteen, marking the end of her short youth.

Whenever she thinks of these, Anna Thornton gets irritated, wishing to bite this awful man!

"Conrad Sterling, your injuries are healed, why not go back to Aethelgard, still loitering here?"

Conrad Sterling didn’t speak; Anna Thornton showed an knowing expression, "I know what you’re thinking, that getting stabbed for me shouldn’t be for nothing. You’re hoping to use this chance to get me, right?"

Conrad Sterling indeed thought so, but covert and cunning, he wouldn’t admit it!

"Ethan says Aethelgard has made lots of calls urging you, the company has many documents and projects piled up, you must personally go back and deal with them. Conrad Sterling, go back!"

"Whether I go back is my business; why are you worried?" Conrad Sterling listened to Anna Thornton’s urging him and got inexplicably mad.

And that blabbermouth Ethan, if President Sterling goes back, the first thing is to pull out his tongue.

"I’m your wife; your company’s performance directly impacts mine and the two kids’ lives, why wouldn’t I worry?" Anna Thornton wasn’t pleased.

"Do you care about me?" Conrad Sterling retorted, "Even just a little! Not including Lola and Pop, just you with me?"

"Uh, do you want to hear truth or lies?"

President Sterling fears nothing but watching Anna Thornton’s mischievous and shrewd eyes, suddenly regretting asking this question.

Humiliating himself shouldn’t be the mistake President Sterling makes; he has been rejected by Anna Thornton more than once.

"Sure you don’t want to know the answer?"

"Don’t want to listen!"

"Miss this chance, no more!"

Anna Thornton’s answer to Conrad Sterling came as they stopped at the next red light, she abruptly unbuckled her seatbelt, lunging onto Conrad Sterling, kissing his lips... no, biting!
