Chapter 338
And he seemed in high spirits, no longer the anxious and helpless soul he’d been
Seeing Jared, he also stood up and said, “You’re back.”
Everyone sat down to eat
Agnes noticed that everyone was acting so strangely. Beatrice was even peeling shrimps for her.
If Beatrice was doing this to butter up Jared, Agnes would get it.
But now, with Beatrice’s attention shifted to her, Agnes felt particularly uncomfortable.
Midway through the meal, Preston handed over a bank card saying, “Agnes, take your money back.”
Agnes was baffled, “Dad, I’m not strapped for cash. You keep it for a rainy day.”
Preston said, “Starlight International Group’s crisis is over. The Japanese bank agreed to loan us funds. We’ve finally weathered the storm.”
Hearing Preston’s words, Agnes finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder Preston seemed so cheery today.
Without making a fuss, Agnes accepted the bank card.
After dinner, Preston and Jared were having a coffee chat in the living room, while Agnes retreated to her room.
Soon, Beatrice was at the door..
She was holding a fruit plate, filled with sliced fruits.
Beatrice used to barge in without knocking.
But today, she knocked a few times.
Agnes, can I come in?”
Agnes was confused, but didn’t rush to find out why. She believed the truth would come out sooner or later
“Sure, come in.”
Beatrice walked in, handed the sliced fruits to Agnes, “Agnes, I prepare these fruits myself. Give them a try.”
Agnes tried one and said, “Thanks.”
Beatrice put down the fruit plate, but didn’t leave.
She hesitated for a while, as if she had something to say.
Agnes said straight up. “Spit it out. I might not have time for you later.”
Finally, Beatrice said, “Agnes, I hope you can put in a word for me with Director Hamish, see if I can get a small part in Nebula Dreams. I heard there are still many”
minor roles uncast.”
So that was it.
Actually, Agnes had guessed it all along.
Agnes said, “I can’t do that. I haven’t even met the director. And he’s known for being strict, hates industry’s under-the-table dealings, and has high standards for every role. I can’t help you.”
“Agnes, I know this is a bit troubling for you, but I have no other way. Even a small role, I’d take it. I want to shine like you in the entertainment industry. Most importantly, I hope to be able to take responsibility for my career like you when faced with difficulties. Agnes, can you help me?”
Agnes responded formally, “I really can’t help you. It’s beyond my reach.”
Beatrice hesitated for a while before saying, “I know you’re not familiar with Director Hamish or even know him, but I heard he’s tight with the Whitfields, he and Tim are good friends, and I think Jared is familiar him. If Jared could put in a few good words for me…”
“Beatrice, it’s absolutely impossible. Don’t be under any illusions” Agnes cut her off sternly.
Beatrice seemed taken aback.
