Chapter 250 Calming Things Down
He walked up slowly.
“A thousand pardons. I acted too rashly. Hearing your explanation, it also seems that we need to work more on our communication. Since Mr. Evans came in a hurry, please get some rest in the lounge. Why don’t we dine out tonight for a meet and greet? My treat.”
Mr. Garcia tried to calm things down by taking him out to dinner. Yet this is only the first day of filming, and dining sounded premature at the moment.
Amelie didn’t like this, for she was unfamiliar with her co-stars, and didn’t want to drink with them.
So she waved her hand in decline.
“Mr. Garcia, we need to start filming tomorrow, and we might get delayed again if we dine out tonight. Plus, Mr. Evans had just gotten off the plane, and needed to rest up from his jet lag. Why don’t we get some rest for now? We could dine out after the production began.”
Amelie was good with situations like this. Mr. Garcia agreed with her.
“You were right. We’ll go out some other time, then. Ricky, I’ll send someone to take you to your lounge, and later I’ll get a car to drive you to your hotel.”
Fortunately, Richard wasn’t nitpicky. He would look at Amelie from time to time, and give out a mysterious smile.
“It’s okay, Mr. Garcia. It’s the least I could do. We’re partners, after all. May our production goes smoothly.”
Richard stretched out his hand, and the two of them shook hard.
Problem solved, at last. Amelie felt relieved seeing him leave.
She finally got it under control, and stopped her work from becoming more
troublesome.
Mr. Garcia looked thankfully at Amelie.
“Ms. Mullen, thank you so much. I can’t imagine the chaos that could have been if you
hadn’t stepped in.”
“It’s no big deal, Mr. Garcia. We’ve still got two months ahead of us. Your reputation for being exceptionally responsible and prudent precedes you. I believe we’ll have a wonderful time working together, so please forgive me if I did anything wrong.”
Amelie was good with words, and she said all the good things about him. Though she did not know him well, she meant what she said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll cut you some slack. There’s no filming today, and you may go now. I’ll send someone if anything happens.”
Mr. Garcia left after this.
Amelie watched him leave, and she finally calmed down.

Even though she was well aware that this show could be her step upward, Amelie still felt that something was going on between Mr. Garcia and Mr. Evans.
With Belen’s help, Amelie removed her makeup and changed it back into her daily. attire. Then she hurried out of the lounge and went back to the hotel.
Amelie was about to go on with her script when the alarm rang.
She grabbed her phone and turned it off, and the room returned to its silence.
She set the alarm just so she could sneak out.
She was about to meet Jeff at noontime. For she received a message from Jeff, that he had discovered something overseas.
Amelie was so excited hearing this, and she hadn’t even rested up.
