Mr. Kress was staring at his phone, ready to blow his top.
For two days straight, he gave Clarice the cold shoulder on set. Clarice was pretty ticked off, so she went to vent to Gwen.
"Because of that 300k, Mr. Kress has his mind made up about me. What should I do?"
Clarice purposely told Gwen, wanting to know why Mr. Kress seemed to specifically target her.
Gwen thought she had a good handle on Estelle, so she gave some advice, but Estelle's reaction caught her off guard. She sipped her water, leisurely chuckling, "If Mr. Kress comes after you again, tell him that 300k wasn't a freebie!"
Clarice thought for a moment, "Estelle seems like a tough cookie."
Gwen smirked, "Even the toughest cookies can be cracked!"
......
Mr. Kress didn't show any signs of frustration in front of Estelle, he showered her with flowers on a daily basis. One day he would send roses, and the next day he would pick lilies.
The young actresses on set were green with envy.
After all, Mr. Kress was a good-looking guy with some power on set, and he seemed very persistent.
Craig saw another huge bunch of pink roses outside Estelle's door and burst out laughing.
Estelle kept calm and carried on with her work, turning a blind eye, "Just ignore it!"
Craig scoffed, "It's sickening!"
Clarice was just an actress, the lowest rank in the crowd. She didn't know the others well, but seeing Jonathan waiting for her to speak, she sat up straight and said with a smile, "One of our deputy directors has a crush on the costume designer. He's been wooing her with gifts and flowers every day, very passionately."
The woman who had asked the question said, "What's so strange about that? If a woman is beautiful, naturally men will pursue her."
Clarice said with a hint of annoyance, "The thing is, this girl doesn't fancy our deputy director, yet she lets him chase after her like a lovesick puppy, accepting his gifts and flowers, but never agreeing to date him. She even let him spend 300k just to maintain her image."
The woman said in surprise, "That's a bit much!"
Another person said, "Girls these days are so vain, relying on their looks and spending men's money without a care!"
"It's a choice on both sides, both are to blame!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
Norah took Estelle to tutor her brother. Both of them are around the same age. So why is Janice and Xavier father feel that there's an age gap for Norah and Xavier. L I know they will be together....
Norah isn't a girl, but a twenty -five year old beautiful woman that loves Xavier Fleming/Gonzalez/Hanson....
