EX-husband Groveling to Me

Chapter 201 Didn't Expect Elijah to be so Shameless

When Suny arrived at Phantom, Alicia was already inside the office brushing up on those rumors of

Mandy's several times.

Seeing her push the door in, Alicia directly threw her phone aside, "Mandy didn't do anything to you,

did she?"

Suny gave her a sidelong glance, "Do I look like someone easy to be bullied?"

"Not really, actually I'm mostly worried about what you've done to her."

Suny was amused by her, "She asked me to help her to beg Austin."

Alicia snorted coldly, "Bah! What a shame!"

Suny laughed.

"Where did she get the courage to ask for your help?"

Suny thought, "Maybe it was the three million that gave her courage."

Alicia was stunned: "What do you mean? She gave you three million to tell Austin to leave her alone?"

Suny took the tea handed over by Joan's assistant and took a sip before responding indifferently, "Yes."

Alicia: "Oh my god! She doesn't think you're short of the three million, does she?"

Suny glanced at Alicia: "If it's thirty million, I can think about it."

"What! No consideration! She used to be so proud of herself in front of you! As soon as she returned to

the country, she dragged Austin into the limelight and deliberately pulled his cufflink to make you angry!

She deserves that! Suny, you have so much money, have some backbone, is it really good to break

your back for 30 million?"

"Yes, after all, I'm not as free of money as you."

After all, it was money that was delivered directly to her hands, earning 30 million without any effort.

Suny was not yet so dirt poor that she did not even feel bit moved when she saw 30 million.

Alicia choked, "I always feel that you are insinuating me again."

Suny looked up at her, "I swear, I am not, I am being explicitly sarcastic."

"......"

Suny didn't come here today to chat with Alicia. The day before yesterday, Elijah told her that the two

important supporting actresses in A Love Poem were going to be replaced and recast today, so there

she was.

Suny hadn't been involved in casting before, but since Mr. Brooks had asked for it and she happened

to be free today, and Alicia also had a bit of nothing to do, she planned to come over and take Alicia

with her to see the casting today.

However, the casting was in the afternoon and she came here today mainly to listen to Phantom's Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

recent report.

The two of them had lunch and went straight to Central. Elijah had probably explained it to her, and as

soon as Suny entered the front door, the receptionist greeted her, so respectful and enthusiastic that it

was completely different from a few years ago.

Wearing her sunglasses and hat, Alicia walked beside Suny, looking at the receptionist who was

respectfully leading the way in front of her, and tsked, "Elijah is quite friendly to you now."

Suny smiled lightly, "He used to treat me, in fact, not too badly."

Indeed, compared to those who made mocking remarks and moved her, Elijah and the others, who

secretly despised and looked on with cold eyes, were indeed not too bad.

Alicia inclined her head to glance at Suny, and, she couldn't make out whether Suny meant this in a

positive way or in a negative way.

Ugh, it was so intellectually expensive to talk to smart people!

Soon, the two were led inside the small casting room.

Central was worthy of being one of the two giants, half of the entertainment industry, and a random

small hall was enough to be worthy of Phantom's hall.

Alicia was out of breath as soon as she entered: "Suny, this chair is so comfortable, let's go back and

remodel our two halls."

Suny took the script and gave Alicia a smirking look, "Fine, it's only a budget of three to five million."

When it comes to money, Alicia instantly lost all thought: "I think the chairs we're using now are just

fine! It's good for the spine!"

Suny raised her eyebrows as the director greeted her, "Miss Holland."

Suny nodded, "Hello, Director Woods, this is Alicia, my friend, I don't know anything about acting, Alicia

knows more, so I'll let her take the wheel, do you mind?"

Director Woods dared not mind, "No!"

Last time Elijah had a fit of rage, everyone in the crew knew that Suny had a great relationship with

Austin.

Anyone with a brain would know that Elijah's words meant that Austin and Suny were obviously not as

simple as "ex-wife"!

The creators and main actors of the cast and crew now had a change of attitude towards Suny, and

even towards Alicia, everyone was more friendly than ever before.

"Miss Poole, I've heard so much about you! Your 'Green Hairpin' is great, I've been looking for a

chance to work with you!"

Although Alicia was a first-tier obviously, her resources were naturally not as good as those of the first-

tier stars under the Central, and this was the first time Alicia had heard such obviously ingratiating

words from this director, who was also a famous director.

She was flattered, "You're kind, Director Woods!"

The casting began.

Alicia attached herself to Suny's ear and asked in a whisper, "Suny, how much money have you

invested in this drama group, why are they treating you like a boss?"

Suny also found it strange: "It is a tenth of what Central invested."

Alicia tsked, "Is it because you have such a pretty face?"

Suny laughed, fervently, "Maybe."

As the actors in front of them began to get into the scene, Suny and Alicia stopped communicating.

Suny really didn't know much about acting, and while she looked at the actors on stage, her thoughts

were far away.

The crew had dinner that day and they treated her very lightly, not too good, not too bad.

Gee, how did it get to be like this today?

Both supporting roles were very important and the casting was only for two people, but it was a careful

selection and took nearly two hours to complete.

Suny had just come out of the hall when she saw Elijah.

"Finished choosing?"

Suny looked at Elijah with a wry smile and answered, "Yes."

The cast and creators' attitude towards her had changed so much, most likely because of what Elijah

had said after she left that day.

Suny looked askance at Elijah: "Mr. Brooks, wasn't the casting done long ago? Why do you suddenly

want to re-cast two supporting characters today?"

Suny's words hit him right in the heart, he was so weak from Suny's look that he averted his eyes and

changed the subject: "It's almost six o'clock, how about having dinner together? Is Miss Poole still on a

diet? I know a new barbecue restaurant that has a very good reputation!"

At the mention of food, Alicia was immediately energized, "Where? We're going to have dinner tonight,

in that case, let's go together!"

Elijah agreed without even thinking, "Okay!"

When Alicia finished, she glanced at Suny smugly, "Someone invited us to dinner."

Suny laughed.

Alicia was so stupid that even if she was sold out and probably had to count the money for others.

Suny glanced at Elijah: "I don't think Mr. Brooks has any other friends this time, right?"

"Coincidentally, there just happens to be one, and you know him too, please don't mind, it's more lively

with more people!"

At this time Alicia also reacted to the fact that she had got Suny into a trap.

Elijah had already run away, as if he was afraid they would backtrack, and told them an address and

said he was going downstairs to the car park.

Suny inclined her head to look at Alicia, smiling without saying anything.

Alicia looked sheepish: "I didn't know that."

Suny sighed and raised her hand to stroke her head, "I don't blame you, you didn't expect Elijah to be

so shameless!"

Alicia was righteously indignant: "Yes! He used me, how shameless!"

Suny looked at her and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to betray me for a meal."

"......"

Was it a roundabout way of calling her names?
