My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Guess Who I Saw

The party grew more and more crowded. Lena poured a glass of wine, plastered a smile on her face, and pulled her into the throng.

They were immediately met by a dapper, middle-aged man in a crisp suit.

"President Miller, you made it! Long time no see. What have you been up to? You look like you’re on top of the world—must have landed another big, profitable project. Congratulations!"

"HAHAHA! Lena, you’ve always got a silver tongue. With you saying that every time we meet, I’d feel bad if I *didn’t* make a fortune! I hear things are getting serious with you and President Goldman. Congratulations! Here’s to us all getting rich."

"Absolutely. When we hold the wedding, we hope you’ll be able to find the time to attend, President Miller."

"I’ve been old friends with you and President Goldman for so many years, of course I’ll be there. Here’s to you both—wishing you a long and happy marriage, and a healthy baby soon."

Lena’s pregnancy was already an open secret in their circle, so no one batted an eye at her drinking juice.

After clinking glasses with President Miller, she deliberately coughed in Cecelia’s direction.

President Miller’s gaze shifted, and he noticed Cecelia standing off to the side.

"Well now, I just noticed the pretty young lady standing beside you. Who’s this? She even looks a bit like you. Don’t tell me she’s your sister?"

Lena laughed. "And you say *I’m* the sweet-talker. President Miller, you’re the real charmer. Me, as beautiful as her? This lovely young lady is an artist I just signed, and this is her first time out with me. She’s young and a bit green, so please forgive her if she’s a little clumsy. Luna Linden, this is President Miller from Agile Media. Go on, say hello."

Cecelia, like a well-behaved child, dutifully greeted him, "Hello, President Miller." He first glanced at Lena before his eyes settled back on Cecelia, his gaze full of frank admiration.

"Our Lena has an impeccable eye. Your taste in talent is always on point. Miss Linden has very distinctive features. And her face looks all-natural, from what I can tell."

Lena laughed. "But of course. One hundred percent natural. She just graduated, so she’s still a diamond in the rough, waiting to be polished. If you’re not opposed, President Miller, we hope you’ll keep us in mind for future opportunities."

President Miller nodded, satisfied.

"I can tell she’d be popular with audiences. She has a ’girl-next-door’ vibe that I find very appealing. As it happens, our company is filming a campus idol drama this year, and I’ve been unhappy with all the female leads they’ve recommended."

"Well, what a coincidence! Our Luna looks fantastic in a schoolgirl uniform. How about I have her come over for a screen test tomorrow? We can get some costume photos taken for you to look at."

President Miller laughed, feigning helplessness.

"That’s Lena for you, not even pregnancy can slow down your hustle. Hahaha, now that you’ve put it that way, how could I not give her a chance? Just one thing: when this girl becomes a huge star, don’t forget about us at Agile Media."

Lena quickly pushed Cecelia forward.

"How could we ever? Without you, President Miller, she wouldn’t have a future! Luna, you are so lucky to have caught President Miller’s eye right off the bat. What are you waiting for? Thank him!"

Cecelia quickly raised her glass in a toast. "Thank you, President Miller."

President Miller took a sip of his wine, his eyes appraising her once more.

Her sculpted features, her delicate skin, her fair, smooth shoulders, her slender figure... The more he looked, the more he liked what he saw.

"You know me, I’m a man who likes to focus. Since I’ve decided to cooperate with you, I won’t waste my time on anyone else. So, Lena, why don’t you go ahead and network? I’ll chat with Miss Linden alone for a bit. I can see she’s still very new to all this; she might not make the best impression on others. You can come back for her when you’re finished."

"Oh, that’s wonderful! Thank you so much, President Miller."

Lena patted Cecelia’s hand, a meaningful smile on her face. "Alright, I’ll go tend to other matters then. Luna, be smart. Take good care of President Miller. Your future is in his hands now."

With that, Lena casually walked away.

President Miller suavely made an inviting gesture toward Cecelia.

"Let’s find somewhere we can sit and talk."

Cecelia smiled at him and walked with him in the direction he indicated.
