“This is why Vanessa’s frantically eliminating everyone that can affect the Yoegers’ core interests recently.” Samuel glanced at her from the side of his eyes. “Be careful.”
Kathleen hesitated. “My brother and I know nothing about this.”
“Vanessa concealed it well. I had to spend a lot of money before receiving this intel,” revealed Samuel solemnly. “A few million just for an egg fried rice.”
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
“I’ll repay you.” She pouted. “I’ll ask my brother for that few million.”
A sharp glint flashed across Samuel’s icy gaze. Suppressing it, he smiled. “Do you want more information?”
“Do you have them?” Kathleen was surprised.
“I can find out information that you can never get your hands on.” Samuel stared at her with an unreadable expression.
She didn’t deny it.
Meanwhile, Samuel continued gazing at her relaxedly and patiently.
“But you have conditions,” replied Kathleen anxiously. “What is it this time?”
He smiled. “You sure are smart.”
“I was never dumb. I became useless when you were taking care of me,” complained Kathleen resentfully.
She regretted saying that immediately.
“If you want, I can continue taking care of you.” Samuel flashed her a meaningful smile.
Kathleen frowned. “I can take care of myself now.”
“Then why are you asking your brother for money?” mocked Samuel coolly.
She bit her lips. “He’s my brother. Am I supposed to ask you for money instead?”
“Naturally, I won’t refuse if you’re the one asking me.” Samuel smirked. “But aren’t you Christopher’s fiancée? Why aren’t you asking him?”
Kathleen paused. So that’s what he’s waiting for.
“Chris is different from you!” Her eyes shone brightly. “He respects me a lot and wouldn’t put me in a tight spot.”
Samuel gripped the steering wheels tightly, his knuckles jutting against his skin.
Everything she said was what he had lacked in the past.
“Kate, I’ll change in the future,” said Samuel hoarsely.
“A leopard can’t change its spots.” Kathleen breathed in deeply. “Anyway, what’s your condition?”
“Macari Group is planning to invest in a movie, but the female lead hasn’t been decided yet. I want you to act in the role,” replied Samuel. “With an award-winning actress, the movie will be extremely popular even before its release.”
Kathleen hesitated for a moment. “I want to read the script first.”
Samuel raised his eyebrows. “So, are you agreeing?”
“The remuneration will be used to repay you,” she continued.
Samuel chuckled. “It’s fine as long as you agree to act in the movie.”
“I want to read the script first. If it’s bad, I won’t do it.” Kathleen stuck to her own principles.
Samuel grinned. “The director of the movie is Spencer Scott, and the screenwriter is Remy Mills. You know their status in the entertainment industry very well.”
Kathleen was stunned.
Spencer was an internationally famous director who had won countless awards.
Numerous people were dying to collaborate with him.
Kathleen couldn’t help but feel tempted. If both of them were producing a movie, it would definitely be good.
However, she didn’t dare to express it. “Still, I’d like to take a look at the script.”
Samuel smirked meaningfully. “Okay, I’ll send it to you later. Oh, right. Why don’t you add me on Whatsapp? Otherwise, I can’t send it to you.”
Kathleen was at a loss for words. Eventually, they added each other’s contacts.
Samuel looked at her profile picture. She was wearing a white dress and hugging a sunflower. With her dazzling smile, she looked beautiful.
She probably had a fun time during her year abroad. She probably never missed me, right?
She kept praising Christopher. Has he been keeping her company for the past year?
As those thoughts ran across his head, Samuel’s emotions began raging in turmoil.
Meanwhile, Kathleen looked at Samuel’s profile picture. It was taken when she was trying out her wedding dress.
“I’ll go now.” Kathleen opened the car door and left. It felt as if she was escaping.
She didn’t understand why Samuel wanted to use that photo as his profile picture.
Everyone in his social circle was wealthy and had high status. If they saw his profile picture, their minds would wander.
Staring at Kathleen as she left, Samuel smiled and stroked her profile picture.
It’s fine even if she forgets about me completely. It’s fine if she wants a gentle boyfriend who respects her. I’ll satisfy all her wishes.
At that moment, Samuel’s phone rang. It was a call from Christopher.
He picked up the call. “What’s up?”
“Stop pestering her,” instructed Christopher in a deep voice. “Samuel, she doesn’t love you anymore.”
