Chapter 201 Kick-off Dinner
Soon, Mr. Garcia arranged for a car to pick them up.
As soon as they got in the car, Amelie’s phone rang.
She quickly opened her phone and found that it was a message from Jeff, with a picture attached.
Amelie clicked on the picture and was surprised to see that the person in the picture looked familiar.
Although she couldn’t quite recognize who it was, she had a suspicion in her heart.
Then came another message.
[Found someone who was closely connected to Willard.]
Why did she feel like she had seen that silhouette somewhere before?
Amelie thought and thought but couldn’t remember.
“Amelie, we’re here.”
Suddenly Belen spoke, bringing Amelie back to reality.
Never mind, I’ll think about it tonight.
Amelie turned off her phone and got out of the car.
When she arrived at the hotel, everyone was already there.
Mr. Garcia had already sat down and started drinking.
The arrival of Amelie made everyone present stop what they were doing.
When Mr. Garcia saw Amelie, he immediately stood up.
“Come on, let’s welcome our leading lady, Amelie!”
Mr. Garcia clapped his hands, and everyone in the room followed suit. Some raised their glasses, while others applauded, expressing their warm welcome..
The lively atmosphere made Amelie a little uncomfortable, but she remained polite and smiled calmly as she greeted everyone.
Finally, the server led her to the empty seat next to Mr. Garcia.
Amelie noticed another empty seat beside her.
She looked at the empty seat curiously, thinking someone would come later.
However, as they were about to finish, the seat remained empty.
“Mr. Garcia, are we expecting someone else?”
Amelie asked the others curiously.
“Of course, the biggest investor in our film hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m sure he’ll be here soon.”
Mr. Garcia replied, looking at the time on his wrist.
Amelie understood and didn’t ask any further.
Belen was already so hungry that she began to eat.
On the other hand, Amelie had no appetite and sat quietly, occasionally raising her glass to toast with others.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a burst of footsteps sounded from the door.
Amelie turned her head curiously.
How could it be him?
Amelie stared at the man in front of her in surprise, somewhat unacceptable.
Mr. Garcia was very excited and quickly stood up, walking over to the man.
“Mr. Byron, you’ve finally arrived. We’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. Please, please take a seat.”
Mr. Garcia gestured and then pointed to the seat next to Amelie.
The person they had been waiting for was Lamont, but Lamont’s gaze kept intentionally or unintentionally shifting toward
Amelie.
He had come here for her.
However, to his disappointment, Amelie kept looking away as if he didn’t even exist.
Lamont couldn’t help feeling a bit unhappy, but didn’t want to cause a scene with so many people present.
