Finally, they spent all morning on a tight schedule.
Invited by the organizer, they would dine with some celebrities attending this event. Susan, as a brand sponsor, sat in one of the best seats in the house.
Just as she sat down, someone caught her attention. Though doubtful, she saw Little Bunny sitting there at the table next to her with her back turned to Susan.
Susan thought Little Bunny should be at home with her kid. And she didn't see her at the event in the morning.
"What's wrong, Miss Phillips?" asked the organizer, seeing Susan pausing in a daze.
"I think I just saw someone I know."
"Who?" The organizer followed her gaze and smiled, "Did you say, Little Bunny?"
"You know her?" asked Susan.
"Barely knew her. But I remember her appearance fee is quite low."
"I didn't see her at the scene just now."
"Oh, she's not at the main set, she's inside the recording hall next door." The organizer explained, and said positively, "Miss Phillips, what's your relationship with her, then? If I had known you had a relationship, I should have arranged another job for her."
"It's not much of a relationship." Susan found a reason, "Before she gave birth... Before that, she was invited by Cooper Group to do streaming. Vaguely recall her."
"I watched that streaming." The organizer said, "I invited her to attend the event because of that live event, or she... but it makes me a little confused. It's her rising period now, why did she suddenly disappear for two years? That's her most golden two years of development, what a loss."
Susan muttered in her mind, "She spent two years having a baby, but the baby's dad seemed not to appreciate what she was doing for him."
"Miss Phillips here's to you. Thank you for attending today's business event." The organizer held a glass of wine and offered a toast.
"I'm not feeling too good today, so I'll skip the wine." Susan refused.
Therefore, the organizer asked a waiter to send drinks over.
"I'll just have plain water."
"Right, I can't drink today because I don't feel well, but Miss Stern can hold her liquor." Began Susan. And she turned to look at Clara and continued, "Clara, it's your duty to drink with Mr Hale tonight. "
Cross, Clara knew what Susan was up to. She had been ordered around long enough today and thus anger had been holding back her anger all day long. To her surprise, Susan hadn't done with her tricks and now she used her again.
She was showing a flagrant personal grudge, Clara reckoned. What's more, she even saw a smug grin on Susan's face as she met Tammy's eyes.
Susan couldn't drink, so she must be pregnant. At the thought of it, Clara struggled to make herself compose. Anyway, she got her plan tonight, by which she would show Susan something later tonight.
Clara picked up her glass and volunteered, "Miss Phillips is not feeling well today, so I will drink on behalf of her. Here's to you, Mr Hale."
"Cheers."
"Hmm... Nicholas is almost two years old, I'm planning to go back into show business." Little Bunny explained.
"Theodore agrees?"
Susan thought Theodore had a responsibility to offer Little Bunny a good life.
"I didn't tell him." Little Bunny laughed. She didn't deem it a good idea to inform him since Theodore didn't care about her.
As Susan was somewhat surprised, Little Bunny spoke up again, "I asked for his father's opinion, and he agreed."
"Did Laird agree?" Susan was even more surprised.
"Theodore and I have no feelings, we are living together because of the child, and at the beginning, he didn't want the baby. It was his father, Laird Wold, who forced Theodore to marry me and keep the child. I didn't mean to hide it from Theodore. But I haven't seen him for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to talk clearly on the phone. I think he wouldn't say no."
Susan knew that Theodore was a heartless playboy, who would not care about his wife's feelings, nor would he care about what Little Bunny was going to do.
"So who's taking care of Nicholas now?" asked Susan.
Nicholas Wold was the son of Theodore and Little Bunny. Susan thought it would be better to name him Nicholas Hoult.
"Old Mr Wold is now retired, and he's at home to take care of Nicholas, and there are maids and nannies as well. Nicholas had always been well-behaved."
Susan nodded her head. After all, it was Little Bunny's choice, and she couldn't interfere. Besides, according to what Little Bunny said, she wouldn't intend to rely on Theodore.
