Marriage And Love Again

Absent from work for three days, Suny had a lot of catch-ups to do, for example, a meeting.

Everyone in the community knew that Austin had rented all the LED screens in J City just to broadcast his wish for her birthday. It became a paradigm for those who wanted to show affection in public, and people on the Internet even made some jokes about it.

Suny, being the center of the event, felt happy but nothing more.

Earning money mattered more to human beings, in her opinion.

Such an arresting event brought the rumor that Austin and Suny would soon get remarried.

The rumor spread and became absurd, saying that the two had already been remarried and were preparing a banquet for celebration.

Mr. Brooks almost believed the rumor. He even called Austin to ensure the authenticity of the news, despite the risk of getting beaten by the latter one. Anyway, he didn’t have to prepare a whip-round for Austin’s remarriage, for now.

After finding it was a rumor, Mr. Brooks would scold those who came to ask him about it. And the rumor started to get ended.

Anyhow, Suny heard of the ridiculous news at last.

As for Alicia, a veteran in the entertainment industry for over ten years, she definitely had access to the news.

She knew it was merely a rumor once she was told. But driven by curiosity, she still couldn’t resist asking Suny about it when her friend came to attend the meeting in Phantom, “Hey, are you and Austin ready to get remarried?”

A faint smile appeared on Suny’s face. She sat on the sofa, shooting back, “You and Mr. Lloyd, are you ready to get married?”

Alicia laughed with embarrassment, “The gossip doesn’t come from me. It has spread everywhere these days.”

“So, you believe in it?” Suny raised her eyebrow slightly.

“No, but I’m too curious.”

Suny got amused, “Heard of ‘Curiosity killed the cat’, have you?”

Alicia tilted her head to the side, watching her friend’s gorgeous face. But she also sensed some kind of danger from the looking as her friend pronounced the word “killed”.

“It’s better not to provoke her,” Alicia thought.

“Fine. I’ll shut my mouth.”

Suny threw the script in her hand onto the table, groaning, “This script won’t do.”

She looked at a manager seated next to her, asking, “Who recommend the script to you?”

Under her gaze, the manager felt somehow guilty, answering, “A screenwriter, one of my friends.”

Suny smiled a little, mocking “I see. Your friend may need a bit more talent.”

The manager nodded repeatedly. He was not sure whether Suny knew the tricks he played in secret. Cold sweat emerged on his forehead as he was stared at by a pair of beautiful but threatening eyes.

“Go ahead with your own business now,” Suny sensed his guilt but didn’t say anything more.

It was a great relief for him to be able to leave. The manager quickly got out of the office.

Alicia had witnessed the whole scene and kept in total amazement. “Impressive! Wayne kept recommending that script. He didn’t listen to my suggestions at all!”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Suny glanced at her, laughing, “That script is probably bought by him.”

Alicia instantly got enlightened, “No wonder! That script didn’t get voted last week, but he insisted that it should be chosen. He even requested Joan to bring it to me. But I must say its quality sucks.”

Working in the film industry for so many years, Alicia was even better than Suny at identifying quality scripts that would go popular. The characters in that script didn’t appeal at all. The plot was decent but out of fashion.

Alicia had acted some similar characters in some similar dramas at the beginning of her career. She hadn’t expected to come across a similar script after ten years.

Unlike serious dramas, romance dramas without much innovation and inviting plots were unlikely to go viral in today’s market.

Wayne told her that the script was written by a talented screenwriter. She was nearly suspicious of her own taste owing to his insisting persuasion. Luckily, Suny came back to work today and she was able to show the script to her friend.

She hadn’t expected that he was such a coward under Suny’s gaze.

Alicia got angrier and angrier as she continued to complain about the script. She even tried to call Wayne to account. At that moment, Joan knocked and came in, reminding them that it was time for the meeting.

Suny took a sip of her tea, teasing, “Maybe you can go find and scold him, and then we shall have the meeting?”

“Better have the meeting first.”

Alicia feared that she could not contain her temper, resulting in Wayne’s resignation.

It was time for lunch when the meeting was over. It had been a long time since Suny had a meal with Alicia. So, Alicia was recommending a new seafood restaurant to her friend.

Suny didn’t choose to drive to work this morning, so they had to borrow Joan’s car.

The restaurant was not far, located in a position that was easy to find.

The surroundings were particularly pleasant, which was worth the cost.

They walked in and found quite a few customers in the restaurant. Fortunately, each table was separated and formed a semi-closed section, which was convenient for celebrities like Alicia to have meals as it was inappropriate for them to stay in the spotlight publicly.

Alicia had asked Joan to book a table. So, they were immediately led to a quiet and private booth.

“It’s been a while since I had seafood.”

Alicia flipped through the menu, coveting everything she saw.

Suny sipped at her lemonade, saying, “Order whatever you like. It’s on me.”

“Really?”

Suny squinted at her, “Or you would like to treat me?”

“No, thank you. I’ll let a rich lady do her thing. You can have the bill to your credit. I won’t make you feel dishonored.”

As she spoke, she looked down at the tablet and ordered an Australia Lobster, and then an Alaska King Crab. She was quite used to helping herself to do whatever she wanted.

Suny was totally fine about it. A meal costing a few hundred dollars was affordable.

In case not to be wasted, Alicia ordered a meal suitable by only adding two French Oysters. She grinned at Suny, asking, “Take a look. Anything else you want?”

Suny rolled her eyes, “Can you finish more?”

She guaranteed that the main course with side dishes was enough for Alicia’s huge appetite.

“I can’t.”

Well, Alicia asked merely out of politeness.

As they chatted, the waiter led a couple to the nearby booth.

Alicia was about to ask the waiter to bring some juice, only to find that the girl in the nearby booth was an “acquaintance”.

It turned out that the “acquaintance” was Ginger, who she and Suny had discussed last night.

The finding brought fun to Alicia, “Suny, look at the booth next to you.”

Suny glanced at her grinning face and tilted her head towards the nearby table.

She kept still in surprise for a moment at the couple next to her.

Ginger seemed to notice Suny’s sight and looked in her direction. Finding that the girls next to her were Suny and Alicia, her face stiffened for a second.

By contrast, Suny looked away unhurriedly, speaking to Alicia, “That guy, you know him?”

Alicia shook her head, but went on to mock Ginger, “Only handsome men are her cup of tea. That’s what she revealed on a talk show last month. Look at her boyfriend now. Well, just on average.”

Suny smiled, “Agree.”

She cast a glance at that man again. After confirming her thought, she said to Alicia in a casual way, “I know that guy. He is the second child of Wayne Estate’s boss, named Justin Daniel.”

Suny paused and then continued, “He got married last year.”

Hearing the information, Alicia gasped in surprise, “God, is she his mistress?”

“Don’t know.”

Suny was not familiar with Ginger. They only met a few times when they filmed the show last month.

As an insider, Alicia quickly figured out what was going on. “Damn, how dare she tweet to satirize you?”

Alicia felt disgusted at once. Suny smiled, “Whatever.”

Whatever tricks Ginger intended to play, she wouldn’t escape from the Central Company.
