NOVPUBChapter 1052: 489 Hooked_1 Chapter 1052: 489 Hooked_1 The woman walked out of the TV station and made a phone call, “I’m sorry, I screwed up.”
From the mobile phone, a somewhat weird voice was heard, which had obviously been processed, “It’s okay, I was just testing the waters.
You’ve already done well.”
“Then, the thing you promised me…
.”
“Don’t worry, your son’s film contract won’t be lost.
I’ve already arranged it from my side.
With just one of my words, your son can get the role.”
“Thank you, thank you…” the woman excitedly said.
“However… 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
you still need to do one last thing for me.
...
If it succeeds, a few film contracts mean nothing.
I’ll recommend him to sign with the Star Glow, and in less than a year, he’ll become the most popular child star in Jimenez.”
The woman gasped in a breath, suppressing her excitement, “You say, what else do I need to do?”
“Ms.
Rinto, do you have time?
Let’s take a coffee.” Ellington Bartholomew asked with a smile.
Aubree Groove nodded, “Will you allow me to bring Jaime?”
“Of course.”
There was a coffee shop on the first floor of the TV station, which usually only provided coffee to internal staff and required a work badge for free access.
Noon was the most exhausting moment when a cup of coffee was much needed to refresh, so there were many people in the coffee shop.
Ellington Bartholomew pushed open the coffee shop door.
“Hello, Director Bartholomew.”
“Director Bartholomew is also here for the coffee.
Today’s new product is good.”
…
Along the way, everyone was greeting her, their eyes on Ellington Bartholomew were extremely passionate and admiring.
Ellington Bartholomew smilingly waiving at everyone, she could accurately call out everyone’s names, handling it with room to spare.
Ordering two coffees, fruit juice for Jordan Robinson, Ellington Bartholomew led the two to a secluded booth.
“Ms.
Rinto, I’m sorry about today’s incident.
I hope it didn’t harm the child’s psyche.”
A slight smile flashed across Jordan Robinson’s pale little face, like the sun in winter, very cold, but warm enough to touch hearts.
“Director sister, I’m okay.
Thank you for your concern.”
Ellington Bartholomew couldn’t help but gently rub Jordan Robinson’s head, “So good.”
She knew about this child’s experience.
He had suffered so much at such a young age, but still grew up so well.
It was really lovable and pitiable.
Ellington Bartholomew glanced at Aubree Groove, who was texting someone on her mobile phone.
Ellington Bartholomew couldn’t help staring at her face.
Why would there be such a look-alike person in this world?
Ellington Bartholomew raised her right hand, covering Aubree Groove’s eyes, only showing her nose and mouth.
Looking this way, they looked even more alike.
Ellington Bartholomew for a moment was in a trance.
Aubree Groove finished texting, put down her cell phone and looked up at Ellington Bartholomew.
Those clear and deep eyes instantly shattered the atmosphere of the lower half of her face.
That familiar feeling vanished.
The person in front of her became a stranger.
Aubree Groove smiled slightly, “Who is Director Bartholomew staring at through me?”
Her eyes were tranquil, deep, restrained, and wise.
They were like a beam of sunlight shooting out from the abyss, warm and full of power.
Ellington Bartholomew felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
It was as if the rain and dew had finally arrived in that parched desert.
She unconsciously blurted out: “An old acquaintance.”
“This old acquaintance must be very important to Director Bartholomew, right?”
Ellington Bartholomew, as a strong and capable woman, had never shown her vulnerable side.
At this moment, facing a girl much younger than herself, she couldn’t help wanting to share.
“Yes, very, very important.”
Ellington Bartholomew looked outside the window, where people were hurrying back and forth in the square.
“We met on a train, an old man’s wallet was stolen.
Everyone just stood by and watched, but she was the only one who bravely stepped forward.
I’ll always remember that scene.
She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.”
“We came to Lostswa together.
We worked during the day and went to night school in the evening.
When we didn’t have money, we lived under a bridge.
A loaf of bread would last us for two days.
We were really poor then, but we were also really happy.”
“Later on…
she was admitted to the Performing Arts Department of the Film Academy, and I was admitted to the Directing Department.
We agreed to save our first big break in the film industry for each other…”
In her eyes, the shimmer of tears flickers, she was caught in the nostalgia and couldn’t pull herself out.
“But…
she broke our promise.”
Aubree Groove listened quietly, her fingertips rolling over the prayer beads.
She said: “Everything is impermanent, there is reincarnation.
Someday in the future, you two will meet again.”
Ellington Bartholomew smiled bitterly and shook her head: “There is hope.
That’s always good.
Thank you for comforting me.
I don’t know why, but I feel close to you at first sight.”
