Chapter 28 I’ll Treat Him as a Tool man
The person who came was Austin, and Suny was not the only one who was surprised, even Alicia was so scared that she hid in Ashley’s arms.
But she didn’t mind watching the fun, so she nestled in Ashley’s arms and kept giving Suny a wink: “Go! Kiss him!”
Suny’s mind was now blank, she had been married to Austin for three years, and the most intimate action the two of them had taken was probably the day of the wedding when he held her hand for a moment.
She hadn’t expected that three months after the divorce, she would even be in Austin’s arms, her hand on his shoulder, looking like a couple.
She gave a glance at Alicia and took only half a second to make her decision.
Austin was 1. 88 meters high and she, 1. 68 meters high, was much shorter than him, but she wore high heels today, and with a slight tiptoe, she easily kissed the cool lips.
Only once, Suny let go: “It is just a game, please don’t mind.”
She hooked her lips, her voice flat.
Suny took a step back and gave him a faint smile, then raised her eyebrows sideways at Alicia: “Aren’t we going to the bar?”
Alicia was already completely dumbfounded, she somewhat doubted if she had just misread the scene, if she hadn’t, then it was too crazy, right?
When Ashley saw that the person in his arms was still not moving, he raised his hand and pulled her: “Let’s go.”
Alicia raised her head, Suny was already walking away on her high heels.
“Oh, oh, okay.”
Suny had drunk and couldn’t drive, so she had to take Ashley’s car.
Alicia was so shocked by what had just happened that she didn’t even sit in the passenger seat, and ran to the back seat to stare at Suny, reaching out and touching her forehead, “No fever.”
Suny, who was looking out of the car window, pulled her hand down, “What are you doing?”
But Alicia answered, “Do you know who you just kissed?”
Suny looked at her askance, suddenly disgusted, “Austin, what’s the problem?”
Alicia nodded her head heavily, “Yes! Of course there’s a problem, there’s a huge problem here! If I remember correctly, you and Austin had been married for three years, but he hadn’t even sat on the sheets of the bed in your bedroom! But now that you’re divorced, you kissed him! Oh my God! This is simply too scary!”
Suny’s heart was torn: “Actually, I just treat him as a tool man.”
Alicia was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “Awesome! You are awesome!”
Suny rubbed her temples, “Stop yelling and give me a break.”
“Okay!”
Suny tilted her head and laughed softly, Alicia beside her was like a fool, and she didn’t know if her fans would cry one day when they saw her true face.
Elijah had already drunk two glasses of red wine, but Austin, who should have arrived, still hadn’t come.
He tugged his tie in annoyance and elbowed Antonio, who was beside him, “Call Austin, he’s probably lost in one of the boxes, it’s been more than ten minutes and he’s still not here!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the door of the compartment was pushed open.
The person who came was none other than Austin, who should have arrived fifteen minutes ago, but his face did not look good.
When Elijah saw him, he directly handed over a glass of red wine: “Three glasses.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Get lost.”
Austin sat down, without even giving Elijah a look.
After he sat down, he sank directly into the sofa, his eyes lowered, not paying attention to anyone.
When Suny kissed him just now, there was an indescribable feeling at the bottom of his heart, like excitement and pleasure, but before he could feel it clearly, she withdrew.
He originally thought it was just a physical reaction, so he smoked a cigarette outside, but during the smoke, his mind was filled with the flirtatious look on Suny’s face when she asked if he could kiss her.
Elijah and Antonio had been friends with Austin for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen him like this.
Both of them looked at each other, their eyes were telling each of them to ask Austin, but in the end no one dared.
It was a rare moment of silence in the compartment, and after half a second, Austin suddenly raised his head and looked at Elijah: “Your mouth is usually like a machine gun, why is it mute today? Did you get glued?”
Elijah’s heart was in stitches: “Didn’t you tell me to get lost?”
“Oh, did I?”
He leaned over and poured himself a cup of water, Elijah and Antonio both wondering if the person who came in was Austin.
“Austin, are you alright? You came here to drink water with us?”
Austin faintly lifted his eyes: “What’s the problem?”
“Nothing …”
Elijah was afraid, and stopped asking questions and began to complain, “Austin, do you know that silly CEO of New Morning? A while ago, our film and television department went to talk about a novel IP for their website, the price was all agreed and we were ready to sign it today, but they called me early this morning and said they wouldn’t sign it!”
“It is okay, it’s not like I’m waiting for that IP to make a living! But they negotiated the rights to UNIVERSE, Fuck …”
On the side, Antonio gave a light laugh, “Is it probably that the person of you has the wrong attitude?”
“No, this novel was recommended to me by your sister, and I had my secretary and a few other executives read it and write me a summary of the tips and highlights, and then I went through it myself and thought it was really good, so I handpicked someone to negotiate it.”
The person he handpicked would not be so stupid as to be condescending in his attitude.
This was exactly what Elijah couldn’t understand.
Austin looked at Elijah, “If I remember correctly, New Morning was only established five years ago, three years ago for financing, when the A round Phantom invested more than two million, B round also added a lot of money. If your people have not offended New Morning, then you have to think hard if you have offended Phantom’s people.”
Austin hit the nail on the head, Elijah really did not expect that.
He still wasn’t convinced, “Phantom doesn’t have that much power, does it?”
“It’s just a veto thing.”
Elijah frowned, “Who owns Phantom?”
This involved Austin’s knowledge blind spot, “I don’t know, no one in the industry knows who the person behind Phantom really is.”
Elijah sighed, “Phantom’s big boss is really a talent! I’ll ask my secretary to talk to New Morning again.”
When had he, Elijah, ever suffered such an indignity!
Austin didn’t comment, and for some reason, he had a vague feeling that Elijah would regret it.
