Chapter 21 She Accidentally Fell into His Arms Again
Angelina stood aside, breathing deeply to refresh herself.
She wasn't that into the character just now.
But Keith had the air of a noble man which was so similar to the imagined powerful male protagonist that she was brought into the character with her emotions being influenced.
Frank showed a rare smile and praised, "Miss Jefferson, you winged it very well. I think you can be the heroine and the contract will be sent to your agent later. If you are willing to be the heroine, the contract will be concluded today."
The contract would be concluded today?
Angelina wondered if that was because her acting skills were okay in Frank's eyes or that was because of Keith's influence on her improvisation.
Angelina replied softly with a smile, "Thank you, Director Gates and our screenwriter. Thanks for your recognization."
Frank was an experienced director with a high status in the industry, which indicated that he was a man with a pair of penetrating eyes. It was easy for him to know whom Keith was here for.
He let Angelina be the heroine in order to make Keith content.
He said very naturally, "Miss Jefferson, you just now performed much better than the first time. I'm not the one to be thanked."
Angelina nodded with a smile and then looked at Keith who was standing aside, saying, "Mr. Fuller, thank you for helping me complete the audition."
Her voice was sweet and provocative. It seemed that she was still in the character.
Keith showed a shallow smile and said in a deep voice, "Nothing. Miss Jefferson, given our relationship, you don't need to say thanks to me."
Upon hearing his words, Angelina subconsciously glanced at the other people present.
Frank was talking about the audition with the assistant director, and the screenwriter was reading the contract.
No one seemed to notice what was going on between her and Keith.
Only then did she retort softly, "We have no relationship!"
Keith looked down at her with a short laugh, saying, "Miss Jefferson, you forgot it so soon?"
Angelina was a little puzzled, asking, "What?"
Keith leaned over slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Jefferson, you said you will marry me."
He deliberately leaned very close to her to say in a low voice that she would marry him...
Angelina glared at him, but it didn't have any deterrent effect in his eyes. On the contrary, she looked a little flirtatious to him.
Keith was attracted by her, and a strange feeling began to appear in his heart.
Since there were others around, Keith didn't continue to whisper to her.
He raised his hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and then said in a low voice to Frank, "Director Gates, I'm going to take off. Let's meet again some other day."
Frank said okay, and then took advantage of the opportunity to say to Angelina, "Miss Jefferson, could you help me lead the way for Mr. Fuller?"
Angelina thought she had to listen to Frank, the director of her next movie, so she said okay.
After all, Frank directly let her play the leading role after watching her audition.
After Angelina left, the producer was still a little hesitant and asked, "Director Gates, are you sure you don't need further consideration? As far as I know, Miss Jefferson doesn't seem to have a good reputation on the Internet."
Hearing that, Frank snorted coldly with a look of disapproval, "Did she kill anyone? Did she break the law? Did she do something unforgivable? The Internet is a double-edged sword, and public opinion can be easily manipulated. No one can tell the truth from the false on the Internet."
The producer showed an embarrassed smile and didn't know how to respond.
Janet rushed to the place where Angelina was auditioning after finishing an urgent meeting in the company.
She was really proud of Angelina!
There were two passages in the place where Angelina auditioned. The actors who came for the audition were asked to enter the hall through the main entrance and then wait in the lounge.
In order not to affect the actors, the staff should enter from another passage.
Keith looked down at Angelina and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Jefferson, you seem reluctant to lead the way for me? I wanted to tell you about our engagement. But since you don't want to hear..."
Angelina immediately replied cheerfully, "How could it be! Why did you think I didn't want to listen to you? Mr. Fuller, it's just that you are so handsome that I didn't know how to talk to you."
Keith raised his brows lightly and looked at her leisurely, asking, "Really?"
Angelina replied with a big smile on her delicate face, "Of course."
Keith's heart fluttered slightly, and he was a little distracted by her bright smile.
When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Tomorrow I will visit your grandfather. You will have the answer to something that you have never believed in."
Angelina paused and looked up at him, "Our families are going to meet tomorrow?"
Keith nodded slightly, "Yes, the elders also will meet."
When saying "the elders", Keith paused on purpose.
But Angelina suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She thought since all the elders would meet, it must be discussing the cancellation of the engagement.
Keith slowly reminded in a deep voice, "Miss Jefferson, I hope you still remember our bet."
Angelina remembered the words "Ishmael" said in the hospital.
If he was Ishmael, he would agree to cancel the engagement as she expected.
If he was not Ishmael, she should promise to marry him.
Angelina blinked, trying to conceal her enormous panic.
Did she mistake him for someone else?
No!
How could it be possible for her to mistake him for someone else?
She thought he must have been refusing to admit his identity because he had to take into account the reputation of the Fuller family and himself.
Keith lowered his head to look at her and called softly, "Miss Jefferson?"
Angelina regained her mind and said, "I will not forget the bet. I hope you will remember to fulfill your promise if I win."
As soon as she finished her words, a white light suddenly flashed at the exit facing them.
The paparazzi hiding in the bush exclaimed in surprise, "Sh*t! I forgot to turn off the flash!"
The white light was too dazzling.
Angelina instinctively reached out to cover her own eyes.
Keith pulled her behind him with a sharp gaze, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go investigate."
Niles quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Fuller. It should be some paparazzi. I'll take someone to take a look."
Keith glanced at Angelina behind him and said in a deep voice, "Do you need to go to the lounge?"
Angelina was still a bit confused and didn't understand what he meant, murmuring, "Hmm?"
Keith held Angelina by the wrist and naturally led her back into the lounge, comforting, "Don't worry. I'll handle it."
Angelina suddenly had some subtle feelings in her heart.
What a pity!
She thought she would be in love with Keith if he was single and not a love rat.
After all, he had both a good figure and a pretty face, which made her feel a full sense of security.
The paparazzi squatting in the bush still didn't know what was waiting for them.
They had been keeping an emergent backup of what they had photographed after being found.
Angelina became a hit for wearing a cheongsam not long ago. If it was revealed that she hugged a mysterious man and seemed to fall in love, it would be another hit!
The paparazzi thought that it would become exclusive and hot news and they would definitely get some bonus this month!
