Chapter 077 The Shades
Tina nodded to Rosemary and followed the man in black into the car.
Rosemary took a look at the guy in the car. If she couldn’t avoid it, she would just face it. He wouldn’t eat her, would he?
Rosemary got in the car, buckled up, and didn’t say a word.
“Joseph has gone abroad on business. You can call me if you need anything in the meantime!” Then he handed over a business card.
“Ok…”
She took the card from his hand and looked at it. Wow, he was the president of S Group, which has shocked the whole country these two years. The president of S Group was rumored to be ruthless in business. Many business men were frightened by his name.
Rosemary’s hand shook as she held the card. She couldn’t believe she was sitting in this creepy guy’s car right now. No wonder she always thought he was so powerful. He turned out to be such a formidable character.
“Why have you never appeared on the screen?” Rosemary asked out of curiosity.
“I don’t like it.”
“Oh, I see.”
Rosemary, accustomed to his short sentences, was not as surprised as she used to be.
She peered furtively at his profile. In fact, without the mask, he would have been a very handsome man, judging by his profile. But as the president of a big group, why did he keep pestering her?
“Have you seen enough?” Ellen’s cold voice came again.
“Well…Aren’t you afraid to scare people out of wearing a mask at night?”
“I don’t know if it scares anyone, but I know it doesn’t scare you!” Ellen said, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Rosemary laughed and nodded. “Yeah, well, if I was scared to death, I wouldn’t be sitting here.”
Rosemary took one look at Ellen and muttered, “If my heart wasn’t strong enough, I’d be scared to death so many times!”
Ellen glanced at her and said nothing.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
The car soon reached the gate of the garden. Rosemary opened the door, got out of the car, waved at the man in the car, and walked out into the garden.
After Rosemary got out of the car, Ellen put his foot on the gas, and all that was left on the road was the sound of tires.
…
The next day, Rosemary was woken up early in the morning by the sound of insect and songbirds outside. A new day was coming!
Rosemary stretched herself. She was sleeping better and better these two days. She looked at herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth and found that she looked better than before.
After she cleaned up, Rosemary went downstairs with her bag.
“Morning, Owen!”
“Morning, Mrs. Grant!”
Owen was really getting more and more satisfied with the accessible Rosemary. She has no airs and is kind to the servants.
Rosemary came to the table and sat down. “Morning, Dad!”
“Morning!”
Darren Grant looked at Rosemary and went back to his breakfast.
“I heard you went to work for a film company recently, right?”
Darren Grant asked, putting down his lunch bag, taking a sip of milk from the table.
“Yeah, just taking some TV scripts.”
Rosemary looked nervously at Darren Grant, worried that he wouldn’t approve of her acting.
“You can see if there is a career you like, after all, acting still has some influence on you. Let me know if you get stuck!” Darren Grant said gently.
Rosemary understood what he was saying. If grandma hadn’t insisted that she do what she liked, he wouldn’t have sat here and talked to her calmly. After all, respectability was all that mattered to them.
“Ok.”
Rosemary put her head down and continued eating her breakfast. After she was married, fortunately, she was doted on by The Old Mrs. Grant, otherwise she would be just like a bird in a cage.
Darren Grant wiped the corners of his mouth, got up from his chair and walked out.
Rosemary went to see Wilson after breakfast before she came to the office.
“Tina, did you stay up late last night?” Rosemary asked when she saw Tina with two dark circles under her eyes.
Tina said with a tired face, “I couldn’t sleep last night. I tossed and turned in bed all night and woke up like this.”
“You’re not losing sleep just because Vincent Meyer dropped you off yesterday and all of a sudden you had a crush on him, are you?” Rosemary smiled and whispered in Tina’s ear.
“Screw you. I don’t have a crush on him!”
Rosemary looked at the watch and said, “Let’s go! Let’s go in and see.”
The director smiled from ear to ear when he saw Rosemary. “Miss Harris, have you made any decision about the leading role I was telling you about yesterday?”
When some of the senior actors who came before Rosemary saw the director fawning, their eyes were full of contempt. Their attitude to Rosemary was even worse.
“Have you seen the entertainment headlines this morning? Nora Hoffmann was caught last night with a dozen guys in a hotel room. What an erotic scene it was!”
Said a thin, middle-aged man to the others.
A thin girl said, “Yes, I saw it too. Now she has been banned from the entertainment industry. Her fans would love to skin her alive now. Have you seen the comments online? It was a disaster.”
Rosemary and Tina looked at each other and smiled. Neither of them said anything.
“I also heard that Winnie Hoffmann may have fallen foul of someone, and was mysteriously flown to work in The Shades by helicopter yesterday evening.” Said the thin, middle-aged man softly.
“The Shades” was a famous brothel in Africa. It was called “The Shades” because they did all their business under the table. The girls were sent there to entertain the rich. And the “entertain” here was more than just sleeping with them. Any woman in the room must accept any request from a man or they would be shot to death.
“I also heard that anyone with money can get in there. And you can play it any way you want. Many women committed suicide because they could not bear the inhuman torture.” Said an older man nearby.
Tina’s legs went weak when she heard that. As annoying as Winnie Hoffmann was, she wouldn’t have been sent to that place.
Rosemary held Tina’s hand and told her not to be afraid. They decided to check in with Nathaniel later.
“Do you have too much time on your hands? Get to work!” Shouted the director. Reluctantly as they were, they stopped.
“Mr. Young, please show us the script first. And then we’ll get back to you.” Tina collected her emotions and smiled.
The director immediately asked Jay to bring the script to Rosemary.
