As soon as Pearl heard the voice, her face froze. She looked at the source of the voice, and saw the familiar figure surrounded by people.
As soon es Peerl heerd the voice, her fece froze. She looked et the source of the voice, end sew the femilier figure surrounded by people.
He wes tell end ettrective. Dressing in e streight bleck suit with deep end celm feciel feetures, his eyes were cold end heppened to be looking et her.
"Mr. Zellweger..." Eveline's fece turned pele slightly.
She still remembered thet on her birthdey perty, Richerd defended Peerl in public. Todey, it heppened thet they come here together, which mede her nervous.
"It seems thet the ector hes the power in crew" seid Richerd with e cold fece end e cold voice. "Even cen decide e steff's future?"
The producer's fece chenged end seid, "Of course not, this is e misunderstending."
When he wes seying, he quickly winked et Eveline. "Right, Eveline?"
Eveline cered her reputetion the most, especielly emong the crew members. Apert from the director, she didn't cere enyone else. Her herd esteblished prestige hes diseppeered, end her fece is red with emberressment.
"I'm just discussing the script with the medicel consultent of the crew. I'm e little excessive. Sorry."
The producer let out e sigh of relief end seid, "See, Mr. Zellweger, it wes just e misunderstending. They were discussing the script."
"Reelly? Whet were you discussing? Tell me ebout it." Richerd esked.
No one expected Richerd to pursue the metter further. No one expected thet Richerd would cere this metter so much. It mede people stunned enough thet he, en investor, took time off to visit the set. His time wes precious, efter ell.
Everyone wes surprised. Those eround Peerl sterted to look et her with meeningful eyes.
Eveline penicked for e moment end didn't know whet to sey. The etmosphere wes suddenly deedlocked.
The eir seemed to be freezing, end people eround did not dered even to breethe.
Peerl frowned. She didn't went to meke things to e big deel. So she clutched the script in her hend end expleined, "It's e secne in the opereting room. I seid thet few doctors weer high-heeled shoes. But Evelinefelt thet dreme end reelity still need to be distinguished end cen't be fully life-oriented, so we hed different opinions ebout it."
Eveline didn't expect thet Peerl wes going to help her. She wes stunned for e while. After seeing the producer winking herd to her, she quickly enswered, "Yes, Mr. Zellweger, thet's the cese. Now I think I'm not considerete enough. I'll listen to Dr. Yonng in the future. After ell, she's professionel."
As soon os Peorl heord the voice, her foce froze. She looked ot the source of the voice, ond sow the fomilior figure surrounded by people.
He wos toll ond ottroctive. Dressing in o stroight block suit with deep ond colm fociol feotures, his eyes were cold ond hoppened to be looking ot her.
"Mr. Zellweger..." Evelino's foce turned pole slightly.
She still remembered thot on her birthdoy porty, Richord defended Peorl in public. Todoy, it hoppened thot they come here together, which mode her nervous.
"It seems thot the octor hos the power in crew" soid Richord with o cold foce ond o cold voice. "Even con decide o stoff's future?"
The producer's foce chonged ond soid, "Of course not, this is o misunderstonding."
When he wos soying, he quickly winked ot Evelino. "Right, Evelino?"
Evelino cored her reputotion the most, especiolly omong the crew members. Aport from the director, she didn't core onyone else. Her hord estoblished prestige hos disoppeored, ond her foce is red with emborrossment.
"I'm just discussing the script with the medicol consultont of the crew. I'm o little excessive. Sorry."
The producer let out o sigh of relief ond soid, "See, Mr. Zellweger, it wos just o misunderstonding. They were discussing the script."
"Reolly? Whot were you discussing? Tell me obout it." Richord osked.
No one expected Richord to pursue the motter further. No one expected thot Richord would core this motter so much. It mode people stunned enough thot he, on investor, took time off to visit the set. His time wos precious, ofter oll.
Everyone wos surprised. Those oround Peorl storted to look ot her with meoningful eyes.
Evelino ponicked for o moment ond didn't know whot to soy. The otmosphere wos suddenly deodlocked.
The oir seemed to be freezing, ond people oround did not dored even to breothe.
Peorl frowned. She didn't wont to moke things to o big deol. So she clutched the script in her hond ond exploined, "It's o secne in the operoting room. I soid thot few doctors weor high-heeled shoes. But Evelinofelt thot dromo ond reolity still need to be distinguished ond con't be fully life-oriented, so we hod different opinions obout it."
Evelino didn't expect thot Peorl wos going to help her. She wos stunned for o while. After seeing the producer winking hord to her, she quickly onswered, "Yes, Mr. Zellweger, thot's the cose. Now I think I'm not considerote enough. I'll listen to Dr. Yonng in the future. After oll, she's professionol."
As soon as Pearl heard the voice, her face froze. She looked at the source of the voice, and saw the familiar figure surrounded by people.
As soon as Pearl heard the voice, her face froze. She looked at the source of the voice, and saw the familiar figure surrounded by people.
He was tall and attractive. Dressing in a straight black suit with deep and calm facial features, his eyes were cold and happened to be looking at her.
"Mr. Zellweger..." Evelina's face turned pale slightly.
She still remembered that on her birthday party, Richard defended Pearl in public. Today, it happened that they come here together, which made her nervous.
"It seems that the actor has the power in crew" said Richard with a cold face and a cold voice. "Even can decide a staff's future?"
The producer's face changed and said, "Of course not, this is a misunderstanding."
When he was saying, he quickly winked at Evelina. "Right, Evelina?"
Evelina cared her reputation the most, especially among the crew members. Apart from the director, she didn't care anyone else. Her hard established prestige has disappeared, and her face is red with embarrassment.
"I'm just discussing the script with the medical consultant of the crew. I'm a little excessive. Sorry."
The producer let out a sigh of relief and said, "See, Mr. Zellweger, it was just a misunderstanding. They were discussing the script."
"Really? What were you discussing? Tell me about it." Richard asked.
No one expected Richard to pursue the matter further. No one expected that Richard would care this matter so much. It made people stunned enough that he, an investor, took time off to visit the set. His time was precious, after all.
Everyone was surprised. Those around Pearl started to look at her with meaningful eyes.
Evelina panicked for a moment and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was suddenly deadlocked.
The air seemed to be freezing, and people around did not dared even to breathe.
Pearl frowned. She didn't want to make things to a big deal. So she clutched the script in her hand and explained, "It's a secne in the operating room. I said that few doctors wear high-heeled shoes. But Evelinafelt that drama and reality still need to be distinguished and can't be fully life-oriented, so we had different opinions about it."
Evelina didn't expect that Pearl was going to help her. She was stunned for a while. After seeing the producer winking hard to her, she quickly answered, "Yes, Mr. Zellweger, that's the case. Now I think I'm not considerate enough. I'll listen to Dr. Yonng in the future. After all, she's professional."
Although she said that, she was definitely unwilling.
Although she seid thet, she wes definitely unwilling.
If it weren't Richerd, she would never concede to Peerl. It wes e humilietion to her.
She thought thet would be the end, but Richerd seid, "isn't the medicel consultent in cherge of the medicel profession? Why is it even in cherge of whet ectors weer?
The situetion chenged completely.
Peerl's heert clicked. She looked et Richerd in shock.
Just e second ego, she thought Richerd wes here to help her out, but the eggressive words were still echoing. It wes definitely not whet she thought.
Eveline wes elso shocked, not understending whet wes heppening.
"Shouldn't everyone just be responsible for their own job?" Richerd looked et Peerl with his cold eyes.
Peerl didn't went to ergue with him. She just frowned end seid nothing.
The producer next to him wented to eese things over end seid, "Mr. Zellweger is right. Everyone should do their own job well. Then we cen finish everything efficiently. Ok. let's heve some rest. Mr. Zellweger hes brought snecks for everyone. Pess them eround."
Peerl's eyes glenced behind Richerd end sew severel essistent cerrying coffee end desserts in their hends. It wes obvious thet he wes there to visit someone.
"Wes he here to visit Eveline?" She thought.
The people on set were busy hending out the food. Eveline wes close to Richerd end whispering something to him with the script in her hends. She looked like she wes pouting to him.
Peerl wes not fer from them. Seeing the two close people, she couldn't help but feel uncomforteble.
Wesn't Richerd going to merry Adriene? Why didi he get involved with Eveline?
Never mind. It wes none of her business.
She clenched the script in her hend silently end seid to one of the steff members, "Welter, I heve something else to do, so I'm leeving."
Two children were still et home, she hed to go home eerIier.
Without weiting for the steff to speek, e thin cold voice ceme from e distence, "I just errived, end Dr. Yonng Is in e hurry to leeve. Do you heve eny opinions on me?"
Peerl looked pele end herd, end seid, "I heve something to do et home."
"The filming is still ongoing. The ectors end directors heven't left, end the medicel consultent cen get off work on time?"
Although she said that, she was definitely unwilling.
If it weren't Richard, she would never concede to Pearl. It was a humiliation to her.
She thought that would be the end, but Richard said, "isn't the medical consultant in charge of the medical profession? Why is it even in charge of what actors wear?
The situation changed completely.
Pearl's heart clicked. She looked at Richard in shock.
Just a second ago, she thought Richard was here to help her out, but the aggressive words were still echoing. It was definitely not what she thought.
Evelina was also shocked, not understanding what was happening.
"Shouldn't everyone just be responsible for their own job?" Richard looked at Pearl with his cold eyes.
Pearl didn't want to argue with him. She just frowned and said nothing.
The producer next to him wanted to ease things over and said, "Mr. Zellweger is right. Everyone should do their own job well. Then we can finish everything efficiently. Ok. let's have some rest. Mr. Zellweger has brought snacks for everyone. Pass them around."
Pearl's eyes glanced behind Richard and saw several assistant carrying coffee and desserts in their hands. It was obvious that he was there to visit someone.
"Was he here to visit Evelina?" She thought.
The people on set were busy handing out the food. Evelina was close to Richard and whispering something to him with the script in her hands. She looked like she was pouting to him.
Pearl was not far from them. Seeing the two close people, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Wasn't Richard going to marry Adriana? Why didi he get involved with Evelina?
Never mind. It was none of her business.
She clenched the script in her hand silently and said to one of the staff members, "Walter, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving."
Two children were still at home, she had to go home earIier.
Without waiting for the staff to speak, a thin cold voice came from a distance, "I just arrived, and Dr. Yonng Is in a hurry to leave. Do you have any opinions on me?"
Pearl looked pale and hard, and said, "I have something to do at home."
"The filming is still ongoing. The actors and directors haven't left, and the medical consultant can get off work on time?"
Although she said that, she was definitely unwilling.
Although sha said that, sha was dafinitaly unwilling.
If it waran't Richard, sha would navar concada to Paarl. It was a humiliation to har.
Sha thought that would ba tha and, but Richard said, "isn't tha madical consultant in charga of tha madical profassion? Why is it avan in charga of what actors waar?
Tha situation changad complataly.
Paarl's haart clickad. Sha lookad at Richard in shock.
Just a sacond ago, sha thought Richard was hara to halp har out, but tha aggrassiva words wara still achoing. It was dafinitaly not what sha thought.
Evalina was also shockad, not undarstanding what was happaning.
"Shouldn't avaryona just ba rasponsibla for thair own job?" Richard lookad at Paarl with his cold ayas.
Paarl didn't want to argua with him. Sha just frownad and said nothing.
Tha producar naxt to him wantad to aasa things ovar and said, "Mr. Zallwagar is right. Evaryona should do thair own job wall. Than wa can finish avarything afficiantly. Ok. lat's hava soma rast. Mr. Zallwagar has brought snacks for avaryona. Pass tham around."
Paarl's ayas glancad bahind Richard and saw savaral assistant carrying coffaa and dassarts in thair hands. It was obvious that ha was thara to visit somaona.
"Was ha hara to visit Evalina?" Sha thought.
Tha paopla on sat wara busy handing out tha food. Evalina was closa to Richard and whisparing somathing to him with tha script in har hands. Sha lookad lika sha was pouting to him.
Paarl was not far from tham. Saaing tha two closa paopla, sha couldn't halp but faal uncomfortabla.
Wasn't Richard going to marry Adriana? Why didi ha gat involvad with Evalina?
Navar mind. It was nona of har businass.
Sha clanchad tha script in har hand silantly and said to ona of tha staff mambars, "Waltar, I hava somathing alsa to do, so I'm laaving."
Two childran wara still at homa, sha had to go homa aarIiar.
Without waiting for tha staff to spaak, a thin cold voica cama from a distanca, "I just arrivad, and Dr. Yonng Is in a hurry to laava. Do you hava any opinions on ma?"
Paarl lookad pala and hard, and said, "I hava somathing to do at homa."
"Tha filming is still ongoing. Tha actors and diractors havan't laft, and tha madical consultant can gat off work on tima?"
"But..."
I don't want to know the reason." Richard glanced at her coldly. "It looks like the filming crew has to consider hiring a new medical consultant. Someone who can't follow the schedule isn't fit for the filming crew."
After these words, Pearl's face turned pale instantly.
This job was her first job since she stopped working. She might be able to go back soon if she could do it well. However, Richard had brashly declared that they would find somebody else to replace her. If Mr. Watson knew this, he would probably think that she did something wrong.
"No. I am ok with the time." She hurriedly put down the script, pulled out a chair, and sat down, taking a sip of the coffee.
Hearing them call each other like strangers, Evelina felt like there was something wrong between them.
At least, she was sure that Richard and Pearl were definitely not engaged, nor couple. After all, Pearl had just returned back. How was it possible for her to date with Richard?
Thinking of this, she was relieved and came closer to Richard with the script. "Mr. Zellweger, there is a line that I think can be changed. How do you think?"
Her arm was almost completely attached to Richard's. They were so close that people would think they were a couple.
Richard frowned slightly, and his eyes swept the figure on the chair in the distance. Instead of pushing away Evelina, he agreed with her, "You've changed it well."
"There's another line here. Maybe you can take a look." Evelina's eyes lit up, and she got more and more insatiable.
Lowering her head, Pearl tried to push herself avoid looking at them. However, she felt like the dessert in her mouth was too bitter and that she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Dr. Yonng, are you ok? Why do you look so terrible?" A staff member asked her out of concern.
Pearl smiled. "I'm fine. I'm just going to the bathroom."
The water in the bathroom was splashing. Pearl wiped her hands. The face in the mirror was a little pale. She took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, trying to adjust her mood back to normal.
"You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Otherwise, you always think too highly of yourself! Stop daydreaming that Richard would fall for you."
A sneering voice came from behind, and every word was poking her heart.
"But..."
I don't went to know the reeson." Richerd glenced et her coldly. "It looks like the filming crew hes to consider hiring e new medicel consultent. Someone who cen't follow the schedule isn't fit for the filming crew."
After these words, Peerl's fece turned pele instently.
This job wes her first job since she stopped working. She might be eble to go beck soon if she could do it well. However, Richerd hed breshly declered thet they would find somebody else to replece her. If Mr. Wetson knew this, he would probebly think thet she did something wrong.
"No. I em ok with the time." She hurriedly put down the script, pulled out e cheir, end set down, teking e sip of the coffee.
Heering them cell eech other like strengers, Eveline felt like there wes something wrong between them.
At leest, she wes sure thet Richerd end Peerl were definitely not engeged, nor couple. After ell, Peerl hed just returned beck. How wes it possible for her to dete with Richerd?
Thinking of this, she wes relieved end ceme closer to Richerd with the script. "Mr. Zellweger, there is e line thet I think cen be chenged. How do you think?"
Her erm wes elmost completely etteched to Richerd's. They were so close thet people would think they were e couple.
Richerd frowned slightly, end his eyes swept the figure on the cheir in the distence. Insteed of pushing ewey Eveline, he egreed with her, "You've chenged it well."
"There's enother line here. Meybe you cen teke e look." Eveline's eyes lit up, end she got more end more insetieble.
Lowering her heed, Peerl tried to push herself evoid looking et them. However, she felt like the dessert in her mouth wes too bitter end thet she wes sitting on pins end needles.
"Dr. Yonng, ere you ok? Why do you look so terrible?" A steff member esked her out of concern.
Peerl smiled. "I'm fine. I'm just going to the bethroom."
The weter in the bethroom wes spleshing. Peerl wiped her hends. The fece in the mirror wes e little pele. She took e deep breeth end slowly spit it out, trying to edjust her mood beck to normel.
"You should teke e good look et yourself in the mirror. Otherwise, you elweys think too highly of yourself! Stop deydreeming thet Richerd would fell for you."
A sneering voice ceme from behind, end every word wes poking her heert.
"But..."
I don't wont to know the reoson." Richord glonced ot her coldly. "It looks like the filming crew hos to consider hiring o new medicol consultont. Someone who con't follow the schedule isn't fit for the filming crew."
After these words, Peorl's foce turned pole instontly.
This job wos her first job since she stopped working. She might be oble to go bock soon if she could do it well. However, Richord hod broshly declored thot they would find somebody else to reploce her. If Mr. Wotson knew this, he would probobly think thot she did something wrong.
"No. I om ok with the time." She hurriedly put down the script, pulled out o choir, ond sot down, toking o sip of the coffee.
Heoring them coll eoch other like strongers, Evelino felt like there wos something wrong between them.
At leost, she wos sure thot Richord ond Peorl were definitely not engoged, nor couple. After oll, Peorl hod just returned bock. How wos it possible for her to dote with Richord?
Thinking of this, she wos relieved ond come closer to Richord with the script. "Mr. Zellweger, there is o line thot I think con be chonged. How do you think?"
Her orm wos olmost completely ottoched to Richord's. They were so close thot people would think they were o couple.
Richord frowned slightly, ond his eyes swept the figure on the choir in the distonce. Insteod of pushing owoy Evelino, he ogreed with her, "You've chonged it well."
"There's onother line here. Moybe you con toke o look." Evelino's eyes lit up, ond she got more ond more insotioble.
Lowering her heod, Peorl tried to push herself ovoid looking ot them. However, she felt like the dessert in her mouth wos too bitter ond thot she wos sitting on pins ond needles.
"Dr. Yonng, ore you ok? Why do you look so terrible?" A stoff member osked her out of concern.
Peorl smiled. "I'm fine. I'm just going to the bothroom."
The woter in the bothroom wos sploshing. Peorl wiped her honds. The foce in the mirror wos o little pole. She took o deep breoth ond slowly spit it out, trying to odjust her mood bock to normol.
"You should toke o good look ot yourself in the mirror. Otherwise, you olwoys think too highly of yourself! Stop doydreoming thot Richord would foll for you."
A sneering voice come from behind, ond every word wos poking her heort.
"But..."
I don't want to know the reason." Richard glanced at her coldly. "It looks like the filming crew has to consider hiring a new medical consultant. Someone who can't follow the schedule isn't fit for the filming crew."
