Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 365

"I just think things are awkward between you two. If the media finds out about your past relationship, they'll blow it out of proportion. Then the whole thing gets flipped upside down. Everyone will just be gossiping about you guys, and no one will care about the actual movie."

Beasley raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Didn't you just say you were going to keep a tight lid on the media?"

York didn't know what to say.

"Just to be on the safe side, you know."

Beasley stayed quiet, just staring at him steadily.

Under that intense gaze, York started to sweat and finally surrendered.

"Fine, I'll be honest. I really want to use this movie to boost Rosa's career so she has a smooth path in Hollywood. Consider it me paying off my grandmother's debt."

At this point, York's expression turned deadly serious. "So, Beasley, I don't want anything happening at the wrap party that could steal Rosa's spotlight."

"If the media exposes your history with Willow, do you really think there will be any front-page space left for Rosa as the leading lady?"

"Do you really think Rosamund cares about that?" Beasley asked, his eyes apathetic.

Even if she doesn't, I do! — York almost blurted out.

"Why do you have to be so cruel?" York said instead.

"How am I being cruel?" Beasley scoffed, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.

"You know how Rosa feels about you..." York stopped himself mid-sentence.

The last time they met, Beasley had told him with absolute, cold certainty that he and Rosa weren't even considered friends.

With Beasley being so heartless, why would he care about Rosa's feelings just because they had known each other for years?

"I honestly have no idea how she feels about me," Beasley said casually, looking completely bored as he twirled the glass in his hand.

York's eyes lit up when he heard Beasley say he believed him. "Then will you do me a favor for the wrap party..."

"She won't come," Beasley cut in before York could finish.

The bitterness in his chest nearly ripped open and spilled out with those words.

The wrap party fell on her birthday. There was no way she would attend.

He meant absolutely nothing to her anymore.

The clearer you saw things, the more it hurt.

But in front of York, the man kept his emotions perfectly concealed.

York was thrilled. He quickly grabbed the bottle of liquor and topped off Beasley's glass again.
