Beatnce was thrilled. Jared had just said there was a role that suited her.
What was that supposed to mean?
It meant Jared knew her well, so much so that he thought about her even when he was reading the script.
So, she held a special place in Jared’s heart.
He knew Agnes would be pissed, but he still mentioned the role in front of her
Beatrice was over the moon. It seemed her goal would be reached soon.
It was hard for Beatrice to hide her excitement. She grabbed Jared’s arm and couldn’t help but coo, “Thank you, you’ve been so good to me.”
But Jared dodged her hand, a look of disgust crossing his face. This left Beatrice puzzled.
Still, considering Jared was fighting for her role, Beatrice brushed it off.
Maybe he just didn’t like being touched.
Agnes watched the pair coldly, then abruptly put down her fork, “I’m done.”
Then Agnes got up and left the restaurant.”
Watching Agnes go, Beatrice immediately said, “Why is she so upset? We’re family. It’s okay if you help me. She’s just being petty. But I won’t hold it against her.”
Jared seemed to ignore her, he got up and went after Agnes.
Beatrice watched through the restaurant window as Agnes walked out, got into Jared’s car.
They both looked pretty unhappy.
Beatrice was thrilled.
If Agnes was unhappy because of her, or if a rift formed between them, Beatrice would be even more delighted.
After all, she got a role, caused a misunderstanding, and it didn’t cost her the effort she had been putting in since last night.
Beatrice clenched her fist, a malicious grin on her face
Agnes, your good days are numbered.
After Agnes got into the car, she angrily asked, “Jared, what’s the deal? Why are you getting a role for Beatrice?”
Agnes had always despised the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, she would never do such a thing.
But Jared just laughed, “Why so uptight? I’m just trying to get back at her for you”
A puzzled Agnes asked, “What do you mean ‘get back at her for me? What do I need you to do?”
“You know how Beatrice always bosses you around, makes your life miserable? Now it’s her turn to taste her own medicine.”
Agnes seemed to get it, “So you’re just promising her verbally, and not actually going to get her the role?”
Jared started the car, glanced at Agnes, “I keep my word. If I said I’d get her a role, I’ll get her a role”
