Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 229

Mr. Smith had been captivated by Jessica’s work from the very first glance, and the more pieces he saw, the more eager he became to have her on his project.

“Ines, could you reach out to her as soon as possible? My film’s biggest investor is Timothy—he called me asking if I could arrange a role for someone. He’s never asked me for anything before. If we really can’t get in touch with Jessica, I’ll have no choice but to agree to Timothy’s request.”

That night, Jessica’s son hadn’t been well, and she’d had to rush home. It was easy to understand why she’d been turning down work all this time.

Still, at their last meeting, Jessica had decided she was ready to return to work. Surely she and her husband had already talked it over.

Back in the capital, Timothy had given his blessing for Jessica to take on new projects.

Clearly, the role Timothy was lobbying for must have been for Jessica.

Ines laughed and said, “Well, that’s perfect, then. To tell you the truth, the person you’re looking for is Timothy’s wife.”

“What did you say?”

Mr. Smith was genuinely stunned.

“She’s Jessica, Timothy’s wife.”

Suddenly, Mr. Smith broke into a broad grin.

So she was the beautiful woman he’d met at the Zimmerman family’s birthday party.

This was better than he could have hoped.

“Well, if that’s the case, I’ll go straight to Timothy myself. I’ll promise him the role he wants—no wonder he contacted me so earnestly, even hinting at bending the rules. Of course, he’s making an exception for his wife. For Jessica’s sake, I’ll break my own rule this time.”

It was as if he’d been searching everywhere for treasure, only to stumble upon it without any effort at all.

Mr. Smith could hardly contain his delight.

Ines was just as happy for Jessica.

The deal was practically sealed.

After saying goodbye to Ines, Mr. Smith left the office.
