I’ve got to deliver these to others too, so I’ll go ahead.” says the assistant.
After the assistant finishes speaking, she goes towards others carrying the drinks in bags.
A bowl of chilled mung bean broth during sumr is incredibly refreshing.
Joanna sees everyone else with their own portion, realizing it wasn’t bought specifically for her, so she gladly opens the box and starts eating.
As she is enjoying her al, she didn’t notice a black Bentley stopped not far away, under a large tree.
The car window is rolled down halfway.
The man sitting inside the car is handso and noble-looking.
His sharp gaze falls on the man, who is walking toward Joanna.
The coldness in his eyes deepens, and an uncomfortable chill fills the air around him.
He takes out his cell phone and makes a call.

“Is it delicious?”
A voice drops from above as Joanna enjoys her al.
It’s a clear and pleasant young man’s voice.
She looks up, shaking the almost finished mung bean broth, smiles, and nods, “Hmm, it’s delicious.
Mr.
Allenson, thank you for the mung bean broth.”
“You’re welco.”
Maddox Allenson looks at the bright smile on her lips, and after a few seconds of trance, he returns to normal.
“How did your first day on the film crew go?”
“Not bad,” Joanna scoops a spoonful of mung beans into her mouth, seemingly in a good mood, “I learned a lot today; it’s excellent.”
“Hmm?” This answer surprises Maddox.
Anyone can tell that Lisha Alcock’s acting mistakes and NGs were deliberate.
“You weren’t angry?” Maddox lowers his gaze to her lips, red from eating mung bean soup, and his heart beats faster after a few seconds.
“Angry?
Why would I be angry?”
“Because…”
Just as Maddox begins to speak, a crew mber approaches them.
“Ms.
Joanna, Director White has sothing to discuss with you; please co with .”
“Director White has sothing for ?” Joanna looks around and notices Gary White is not at the shooting scene anymore.
“Yes,” the crew mber says, “Director White is waiting for you, Ms.
Joanna, let’s go.”
“Alright then.”
Joanna drinks the last spoon of mung bean soup, then stands up and says, “Mr.
Allenson, I have to go now.”
“I’ll treat you to mung bean soup another ti.”
After saying that, she leaves with the crew mber.
Maddox stands still, watching her and the crew mber walk further away.
A hint of hesitation and conflict flashes in his eyes; eventually, the step he had taken hesitates and stops.
If Gary White is indeed interested in her.
Can he…
compete?
What would be the result of competing with Gary White for a woman?
He doesn’t have as illustrious a family background as Gary White.
He has worked hard to get where he is today, each step taken with great difficulty.
His hard-earned achievents sotis make him feel like splurging, but he has to weigh the consequences.
He likes Joanna.
But if this liking requires him to exchange his career prospects for it, he…
cannot afford it.

Joanna follows the crew mber to an indoor rest area.
When they reach the door outside the lounge, the crew mber leaves.
She’s told Gary White is inside.
Joanna stands outside the door for a while, a trace of doubt in her eyes.
She has a strange feeling.
This place…seems a little too secluded, doesn’t it?
Would Gary White choose a place like this to discuss sothing with her?
She stands at the door for a mont.
After hesitating for almost a full minute, she extends her hand and knocks on the door.
With a “click,” the door is opened from inside.
