章 8: Long Time No See

Lucy noticed two men standing outside the room. One had a mask over his face and the other had a smile plastered on his face.

"Sorry, my boss is a little tired and can't meet with anyone right now. Please make an appointment to meet with her." Lucy said with a straight face.

"Hey, we're not going to take that long. We simply need to speak with your boss about something. At the very least, ask your boss whether she wishes to meet with us." said the man.

Lucy said, feeling a throbbing pain in her head. "Boss, there are two men who want to meet you. And they're old friends of ours." She made the decision to inform her boss.

Angelina raised an eyebrow and said, "Let them in."

After getting permission, the two men enter the rest area.

The other man removed his mask, revealing his face.He had coal-black hair, piercing blue eyes, and Hades-black brows make him look more attractive. He was dressed casually in a hoodie and joggers pair with white shoes.

Angelina was taken aback when she saw that handsome man because she hadn't expected to see a familiar face.

"What do you want to discuss with me?" she asked, turning to face the other person.

"Miss Hunt, this is my artist Andrew Anderson." The man introduced his artist.

"Good day, Miss Hunt. It's good to see you again." Andrew said with a smile on his handsome face.

"Get to the point," Angelina stated calmly.

"I'd like you to invest in one of my upcoming films, Miss Hunt," Andrew stated.

After hearing their proposal, Angelina raised an eyebrow.

"May I inquire as to why you have chosen me as an investor in your films? Given your popularity, you can find anyone. You don't even need an investor for the movies. You can make your own film. Because you're a well-paid actor in the entertainment industry."

"Yes, but the budget for this film will be very high, and if we ask for additional investors, they will interfere with the work. We know that profit is important to you and you are not gonna interfere with whom we cast in movie."

Angelina could tell they genuinely wanted her to invest in the film.

"I'll give it some thought."

"By the way, long time no see Grayson Smith," she said, tilting her head and looking at the other man.

"I assumed you'd forget about your old classmates once you became a wealthy woman." Grayson scoffed.

"How could I forget you when you have left such an indelible mark on my mind?"

"Really," Grayson flatly stated.

"How could I forget that young boy who announced in front of the entire class that his future plan is to marry a beautiful girl? So, have you found a beautiful wife?" she asked.

Grayson's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. How could he claim that he couldn't even find a girlfriend? Lucy snickers at him because of his miserable state.

"What are you laughing at? You've also become a capitalist CEO's slave." Grayson said.

"First and foremost, I am not her slave, and secondly, I get what I want in my life. A peaceful life in which I don't have to worry about anything. Not like you, who couldn't even find a girlfriend." Grayson felt as if he had been brutally attacked by Lucy.

"Why are you sitting there silently?" he asked, turning to face his dear friend. "I can't find a girlfriend because I'm devoted to your work with all of my heart and soul."

"I apologize for my manager's rude behavior," Andrew coughed to hide his embarrassment. " It's just that this is a delicate subject for him. So please spare him."

Grayson felt abandoned by everyone in this world and left to fend for himself. In this critical situation, his friend has betrayed him today.

"I can assist you in finding a lovely girlfriend," Angelina said with a devious grin on her lips.

Grayson found his ray of hope. He smiled at her and said, "Really, you can help me find a beautiful girlfriend. Is she one of your business partner's daughter?"

"No, but she is more beautiful, wealthier, and talented than you. If you manage to make her your girlfriend, you will be the luckiest person on the planet." Angelina described.

Andrew was amused by their antics, and he could tell she was up to no good. She's probably digging a hole for his friend.

"Miss Hunt, you are the most intelligent person on the planet. Please tell me who that lovely, talented, and wealthy lady is who could brighten my life." Grayson said with a pleasant smile.

"You've already known her, and you've known each other for a long time." And..." she paused to create suspense. "That person is none other than my assistant Lucy."

After hearing her name, Lucy choked on saliva. She assumed her boss was teasing this idiot, but she had no idea she would be dragged into the fun.

"Why are you digging a pit for me, boss?" Lucy stated.

"Do you not want to date someone? I understand he is not as wealthy as you. But that's a good thing because you can keep him on a leash and he'll definitely fall for you with your beauty. If he attempts to cheat on you, then..." She smiled evilly at Grayson and said, "He'll be dead."

Grayson was also taken aback when he heard Lucy's name and turned to face her. He thought she was beautiful, and if she was this close to Angelina, she must be very talented.

"I've decided that I'm going to woo you. Prepare to fall for me." Grayson made his confession in full view of everyone.

Lucy slumped in her seat. Her soul appeared to have left her body.Her boss dug a grave for her. She felt a throbbing pain in her head when she looked at Grayson's silly smile and felt like give him a punch. Lucy turned to look at Andrew, who was sitting quietly. Then an idea occurred to her.

"Boss, why don't you think about dating Andrew? He is very attractive, well-known, and not richer than you. He's exactly your type." Lucy decided to exact some retaliation on her boss.

When his name was mentioned, Andrew was taken aback and looked at Angelina.

"Hmm, not bad," Angelina said as she examined him from head to toe. " I know you have good looks at school time.But at that you are not fully grown. You've really developed some muscles in the right places now."

Andrew sat up straighter. When he noticed her inspecting him.

"However, I am not interested." Angelina dismissed the idea without hesitation.

For some reason, Andrew's eyes dimmed and he felt disappointed.

"Hey, do you know how many girls are swooning over his good looks? And now you're dismissing him. You have no sense of taste." Grayson attempted to defend his pal.

"You are correct; I don't have good taste, so I don't think I need to invest in this film," Angelina said, a small smile on her face.

After hearing her threatening words, Grayson shut his mouth.

Angelina gave Andrew a serious look and said, "I need some time to think about whether to invest in your movie or not."
