"Natalie, what's wrong?" There was a tinge of confusion in Yvonne's voice.
Natalie did not have time to explain things in detail to her.
"I'll explain once you get back. Just come back as soon as possible." Natalie said.
It seemed inappropriate for her to ask the two men outside to leave.
Only when Yvonne returns will these two people leave, putting an end to the uncomfortably oppressive atmosphere.
Natalie's heart was full of regret.
She should not have let Remington up for the sake of putting on a good show. Otherwise, Tobias would not have come up and they would not be caught in such an awkward situation. • • •
Yvonne hung up the phone.
"Penney, I have to go back now." Yvonne looked at Penney apologetically.
"Something important?" Penney asked.
Yvonne replied, "It's about my best friend."
Penney sighed, "You treat that friend of yours with such high importance. Last time, you even pushed away a major audition for her."
Yvonne's gaze softened, "Of course she's important."
Natalie represented not only their friendship during college, but also the memory of her most beautiful and pure days.
Even though her heart was no longer the same as before she entered the entertainment industry, Natalie was still the imprint of her innocence.
"You go on back, but consider his offer carefully." Penney solemnly looked at Yvonne, "If you agree to Jenkins' offer, your future will be limitless. I'll also be with you the whole way."
Yvonne was a bit hesitant, "Penney, to be honest, I really don't know why Jenkins would make such a request."
Penney took on a confused expression, "I'm surprised, too. It may be a trap. Now, it's just a matter of whether or not you'll jump in."
Biting her lip, Yvonne replied, "I'll give you an answer in two days."
Penney gave her a knowing look, "You really need to think it through."
Yvonne nodded and left.
She took a taxi back home.
On the way back, she looked out at the passing scenery and her mind drifted away.
She thought of that night.
She had drunk too much and could not retain her anger. Then, she happened to see Jenkins.
Once again, Yvonne brazenly went up to Jenkins.
Jenkins brought her back, but nothing happened.
That man did not touch her.
He sat on the sofa while Yvonne stood in front of him.
He looked up at Yvonne. With great pressure in his eyes, he said, "So you'd like to make it big?"
Yvonne did not hesitate for even a moment, "That's right."
Jenkins laughed coldly, "Then marry me. I'll give you half a month to think about it."
At that moment, Yvonne was dumbfounded.
She thought she was going to have to sleep with him, but she did not expect that Jenkins would want to marry her.
But why would Jenkins want to marry her?
Yvonne could not understand.
She and Jenkins had only seen each other a few times. In total, their meetings lasted no longer than two hours.
Not to mention, Jenkins was a major figure in the industry. He was a man of power. He could have any woman he wanted, but he wanted to marry a nobody like Yvonne?
No matter how hard she thought, Yvonne could not figure out the reason behind his request.
Her intuition told her that the situation was not that simple.
At that time, Yvonne's mind was a complete mess, "Mr. Quartley, I'm not a virgin anymore."
When men looked for marriage partners, especially a man like him who was on the upper levels of the hierarchy, should they not look for a pure, untouched woman to marry?
Jenkins's smile grew colder.
He suddenly stood up and walked towards Yvonne one step at a time.
The man was extremely indifferent. Even his footsteps were frigid, as if he was stepping on the tip of people's hearts. Yvonne felt a chill run down her spine.
