After having to bottle of intravenous drips, Edie’s fever had abated. She barely stayed in the hospital for one night and wanted to leave the next morning. She had not yet figured out the details of the changing of actresses, and it was not proper to ask Stuart directly. She had to go back to the group to ask about it.
"Stuart, I don’t have to stay here, and I need to go back to the group."
"You can’t." Stuart directly refused.
Edie was a little agonizing over his attitude, "Stuart, please let go! I have to go to work. There are many filming parts for . If I am here all the ti, I will delay the progress of the group. I am already cured. Really, I am in good health."
"I forgot to tell you that filming is in a break for half a month to rectify. In this half month, you don’t have to go to the group. You can take a well-needed rest."
Edie widened her eyes and thought about what he had just said. Then she sounded surprised, "On a break? Why so suddenly? The whole filming ti is only three months in total. If you stop filming for half a month now, it will seriously affect the progress."
"You are sick, and they need a new secondary supporting actress, so the group can’t focus on filming either."
The tone of Stuart’s voice had changed, and it was as if he had been talking about sothing small, and a half-month break would not have caused a loss of millions of dollars. Edie imdiately said, "Then they can film the other actor’s parts first. There is no need to stop the entire filming."
This was the first big production she received, which was very important for her acting career. She really didn’t want to make any more trouble after the problem with Zoe. Stuart patted her head gently, "Don’t worry. I will deal with it. You need to have a good rest."
Edie was a little reluctant, "I am already cured. It’s just a mild cold, and I can go back to work now." Seeing her persistence, Stuart finally had no choice. He got up to take out a thick book like a painting album from the briefcase and handed it to Edie.
"Have a look."
"What is this?"
"Just have a look, and you will know. I intended to give it to you after you recovered."
Edie took it and read for a while, and it was actually a book of items for an auction. Large sales would organize and compile information about the auction items in the book and send them to the wealthy local celebrities. If there were things that could make the people interested and attract them to participate in the auction, it could significantly improve the level of the auction and the price of the items.
Almost all auctions in the city would send an album to Stuart, but most of the ti, Stuart would not even give it a look. Edie browsed the collection casually, but suddenly saw a diamond necklace in a page. The finely cut diamonds were perfect, sparkling, like an ocean of pearls. You could even feel the rare beauty of this necklace just by the photo.
From the mont Edie saw the necklace, her eyes began to turn red. This was the necklace her mother left for her! Her fingers touched the photo of the necklace. In the lower-left corner of the picture, there were three small inconspicuous characters, Sea of Stars.
Edie’s eyes instantly beca cold. Few people knew the na of the necklace. If soone could get this necklace and know its na accurately, it absolutely had sothing to do with Greg’s.
"My mother left it to before she died. I ran away from Greg’s house and didn’t have ti to take it with . Many tis I wanted to go back and get it, but I didn’t have a chance. I don’t know how Joanna got her hands on it, but now it was sent to the auction by her."
Edie stopped, raised her big deer-like eyes, and looked at Stuart, "Stuart, this necklace is very important to , please help to get it back." Seeing the emotions in Edie’s eyes, Stuart nodded seriously, "I promised you that I would definitely help you to get it back."
Thinking of her deceased mother, Edie started to cry. She made a smile with a pair of red eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you." Stuart was always helping her, and Edie thought that the things he did for her could not simply be repaid with a "thank you." She really didn’t know how to express her gratitude.
Stuart stared at her with a hidden tenderness in his eyes, "For , you don’t need to say thank you." Inexplicably, Edie actually did not dare to look directly at such a gaze, avoiding his eyes, and said with pretended ease, "Yes, we are making deals. I know it. But when will your family co here? You have helped a lot, and I, as your fake Mrs. Yates, haven’t done my job yet."
Edie deliberately ntioned his family to change the topic as well as remind herself that it was a transaction and did not be attracted by him.
Stuart’s eyes flashed slightly. He was about to speak, but Edie’s phone suddenly started to ring.
Edie was stunned for a second and quickly took out her phone. It was Danny’s na flashed on the screen.
Stuart imdiately got up and said, "I am going out for a while." Then he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Edie alone. Edie certainly knew that he was going to let her talk privately, and she was very grateful for it.
It was the cultivation of the nobility, revealed in the little details of daily life. After Stuart went out, Edie imdiately answered.
"Hello? Danny..."
Before Edie had finished her words, Danny had already thrown out his complaints, "Edie Lara! Where have you been! You were not in the group and you weren’t answering your phone. I tried to look for you all day yesterday, and even Rhoda couldn’t find you. What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Danny always spoke in a chirping voice, and now he had raised his tone and sounded very sharp.
"Yesterday?"
Edie recalled that she had been in the hospital. She didn’t even know where her phone was. Not until Stuart brought her bag in this morning. Where did he get the phone? Edie hesitated for a while and told him the truth, "I... am in the hospital."
Unexpectedly, Danny imdiately burst out, "What happened?! What’s wrong, Edie? Why did you suddenly have to go to the hospital?"
She didn’t want people to know about it, but it was Danny, and he was her agent. He was in charge of her various affairs, so it was impossible to cover it up. Edie told Danny the things that Zoe tried to do to her and how she made her take a pill and sent her to the room of Ross.
But in order not to involve Stuart, she only said it was one person passing by that saved her.
Fortunately, Danny was too surprised after hearing the news to notice the details. The phone was silent for a whole ten seconds, and Danny clenched his teeth and scread, "Zoe, that old bitch! How dare she treat my girl like that? I definitely will not let her get away with it!"
