Chapter 1071
Jonathan was driving and said in a low voice, “Mr. Tucker wanted you to play the lead role in his movie, but I turned him down for you.”
Estelle was taken aback, and instinctively asked, “How did you know?”
Jonathan chuckled, “I’m the biggest investor for this movie now, so of course I know everything.”
“I know you don’t like being in the spotlight, so I didn’t ask for your opinion. You’re not mad at me, right?” Jonathan asked.
“No.” Estelle replied, looking down. Actually she had already turned down Mr. Tucker multiple times.
With the investor stepping in this time, Mr. Tucker should finally stop pestering her.
“How are you going to thank me?” the man asked.
Estelle turned her head in surprise and saw the man’s profile illuminated by the evening glow. His features were distinct, his expression serious. She couldn’t believe that he was actually expecting her to thank him.
Estelle chuckled, “And how would you like me to thank you?”!!
“How about you treat me to dinner tonight!”
Estelle didn’t expect such a simple request, and quickly agreed, “Sure!”
“If only you could agree to all my requests so readily!” The man smiled at her, his tone carrying a subtle hint of barely noticeable complaint.
Estelle looked away and didn’t respond.
Jonathan took her to the Yum Yum Bakery. He walked in front, and she followed behind.
“That explains why Jonathan always comes alone.” Courtney looked fondly at her, then at Jonathan and said, “But he always orders your favorite dishes. He must have missed you a lot. It’s great that you’re back.”
Feeling a little awakward, Estelle didn’t know how to respond.
Jonathan smoothly took over the conversation, “She insisted on coming here as soon as she got back. She especially wanted your milk tea, so add more sugar for her to quench her thirst.”
Estelle was even more embarrassed and couldn’t refute.
“No problem, I will personally make it.” Courtney was even happier, “Today’s meal is on the house, order whatever you like.”
“No need!” Estelle immediately refused.
“Don’t be shy, I’m really happy today. You won’t have the chance in the future!” Courtney said half-jokingly, but her tone was sincere. She didn’t give Estelle a chance to argue and started taking orders for them.
