Actually, Monica had been sure that she would win, but now she knew that it was not easy to fight against Jeremy from his ambiguous attitude. So she directly stepped aside, feeling like her heart was in great shock.
Nancy knew that things were difficult to handle, and she immediately tried to cover for her by giving a big smile on her face. "Mr. Fu, I know that you're always selfless. I'll go for an interview when you have the new project."
Jeremy took a sip of tea and said in an unfriendly tone, "It's said that Miss Nancy has worked on the scene for several days, right? According to the current situation, you're really not that good."
Nancy face turned red and then pale all of a sudden. She had never thought that Jeremy would make such a fuss about it.
It was only then that she realized that when she was shooting a moment ago, Jeremy was on the scene. She had an urge to kill herself.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have haggled over these trifles with a stand in as she was a popular star.
With a pitiful look at Rose, Nancy hoped that she could help her.
Rose understood Nancy's meaning. She helped Jeremy to his favorite food. They looked very intimate, making others believe that they were a close couple.
She pursed her lips and smiled at Nancy. "Nancy, you have to improve your acting skills in the future. After all, Jeremy has invested the film for business. His investment won't be in vain."
"Got it. I was just trying to give new comers some chance. Director Wang thinks highly of this new actress. I think I should help her as well."
This succeeded in transferring the conflict to Fiona. At this moment, she couldn't wait to speak with a more confident tone.
Fiona was furious. How could they let her have a meal without disturbance?
Nancy wanted to help her? What a lie! She was not blind that she could see that Nancy was mad at her.
She didn't care at all. After all, she was tortured like that before.
Fiona lost her appetite. She wanted to put down her chopsticks several times, but when she raised her head, she saw a deep look at herself. She had to grab the chopsticks and eat slowly and reluctantly.
"Waiter," Jeremy called.
The waiter followed soon as Jeremy called, "Mr. Fu, what can I do for you?"
He glanced at Fiona and pointed at her bowl, "Please bring more food to her."
All the people present were shocked. It was out of their expectation that Jeremy would ask the waiter to add more food to a stand in as all of them didn't know the truth.
Both Nancy and Monica were terrified. Jeremy's attitude was too vague. No one knew the relationship between him and Fiona. Just now, they had even mocked her in front of him.
If there was some unknown relationship between them, the consequences could be imagined.
The waiter filled a bowl with rice for Fiona, and he said unhappily, "Since you want to eat something, you can eat it all at once. This is Jeremy's treat. I can afford it, of course."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu. The rice is really delicious."
Then, Fiona lowered her head and continued to eat, after she expressed her thanks to Jeremy's kindness.
Then Jeremy didn't do anything strange. Everyone was relieved.
After the party ended, Francis was waiting at the door of the VIP room. When he saw that Fiona came out, he immediately walked over to her and handed her a cup of warm tea. "When you came here just now, I noticed that you didn't look very well, so I bought it for you. Have a try," he said.
"Thank you."
She is not feeling well. She might have caught a cold.
She didn't turn down Francis' offer. She should be good to herself as well.
Holding the cup, Fiona went to aside. She did not want to draw any one's attention.
She heard a voice of mockery or jealous coming from Nancy. "Ah, how romantic the young people are nowadays! It would be great if I were a few years younger. I would return to the campus and date with the most handsome student."
Rose teased her, "Come on, Nancy. Don't you know old you are now? You want to go back to school and be laugh at others? They are a sweet couple in the campus."
