Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708

Estelle settled into a chair, and Blythe immediately twisted open a bottle of water and handed it to her.

“Thanks! Estelle took a sip before saying, "What do you expect from Mr. Tucker? Stand up against the Crawleys

to defend me? What if he can't handle the fallout and the whole crew gets involved? He's in a position of

authority. It's right for him to think about the entire production crew. That's why I never blamed him. I was the one who suggested going back home for a few days.’

Blythe gave Estelle a thumbs-up, "Estelle, you've got my respect for that!"

Craig frowned, "I just find the whole situation infuriating!"

“What's there to be upset about?” Blythe tossed the water bottle to Craig, "Even Antonia was sent packing back

to B City by Estelle. Do you realize what an accomplishment this is? The whole crew feels victorious standing

with Estelle, where's the frustration? Besides;

Blythe lowered her voice and wore a mysterious expression, "The day when Estelle was cyberbullied, Mr. Tucker

seemed to have created several anonymous accounts to defend Estelle online. I saw it when I delivered

something to his office. He had written a lengthy text praising Estelle's dedication and competence. So, deep down, Mr. Tucker is on Estelle's side. He just doesn't want to offend the Crawleys.”

Craig grunted in approval, “That's more like it.”

“Look at you, no less petty than a big director!" Blythe taunted.

“Who are you talking about?" Craig retorted, “You didn't seem to think I was petty when you were enjoying the

ice cream I bought yesterday. You spent over three dollars on a single ice cream. That's as much as I spend on

a meal!"

"I just picked one at random. Who knew it would be so expensive?”

Sitting on the wicker chair, Estelle watched them bicker. During her absence, the two seemed to have gotten

significantly closer. Was this a friendship forged over shared meals?

A sudden thought of Gwen crossed her mind. Craig and Gwen used to tease each other like this, too. Who

would've thought their friendship would eventually become unrecognizable?

Mr. Tucker placed the water in front of Estelle, his demeanor even warmer than before, "Estelle, to be honest, I

wasn't fair to you before. You're part of my crew and I didn't fully defend you. I feel guilty about that. When I

called you today, I thought you might lash out at me, and I was ready to take it. But you didn't say anything and agreed to come back to the set right away. That made me feel even worse.”

Estelle was surprised by his candidness. She replied with a soft smile, “It's not as serious as you make it out to

be, Mr. Tucker. I know you were thinking about the crew. I understand."

Mr. Tucker's face turned somber. He nodded repeatedly, "Estelle, let's not dwell on this anymore. I can't promise much, but in this industry, your problems are my problems. I genuinely mean that. We've got a long road of collaboration ahead of us. You'll see."

Estelle smiled, “I hope we continue to have a great working relationship!"

“Absolutely!” Mr. Tucker assured her with a warm gaze and a firm nod.

They then discussed some work-related matters. When she left Mr. Tucker's office, it was almost noon. Estelle suddenly remembered that she had promised Jonathan to have lunch with him that day.

She dialed Jonathan's number and told him that she was back on set and wouldn't be able to join him for lunch.

Jonathan's voice dropped, "Are you back on set?"
