Chapter 707
Karl’s cold attitude caused Miana to break out completely.
Miana finally couldn’t help it, and said loudly, “Can’t you see that I’m not happy?”
Karl on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before asking aloud, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s not that Alyssa, who troubles me everywhere, and squeezes me with Mattie!” In Miana’s view, Mattie and Alyssa are people who wear the same pants. Mattie would say those things, it must have been instructed by Alyssa.
As everyone knows, Alyssa doesn’t want to care about her at all.
“Is that so?” Karl’s voice was still lukewarm, as if he didn’t care about her at all.
Just when Miana was about to question Karl, Karl finally said, “When I finish all these things, I will come to the crew to see you.”
Miana heard the words, the anger in her eyes disappeared, and said softly, “Okay.”
Karl said, “Then I will continue working.”
The unpleasantness in Miana’s heart dissipated a lot because Karl said he’ll meet her on the set.
The previous incident in the restaurant made Miana feel that Karl really had no feelings for Alyssa.
After all, after Karl was with her, how could she still worry about Alyssa’s kind of woman who couldn’t get on the stage.
But there was one thing that made her a little uneasy. She was already thirty years old. She was not an innocent girl anymore, so she naturally understood men and women.
But after Karl was with her, he never touched her.
Don’t say it’s going to b3d, they haven’t even k!ssed.
Many times, she wanted to take advantage of Karl not paying attention to k!ss him, but he seemed to be very resistant, and cleverly avoided.
Every time Karl would say, “I want to take my time.”
But they are not boys or girls anymore, what’s the point of taking it slow?
If it wasn’t for Karl to indulge her all the time, and she didn’t care about Alyssa, she would have a little doubt whether Karl really loved her.
Even this time, Karl’s investment in “Lost City 2” was brought up by Miana.
This investment was not good for Adams’ family, and he could not make much money. Karl originally refused, but finally agreed to her.
Anyway, as long as Karl loves her.
After a man is dazzled by love, he is no more sober than a woman.
Miana secretly made up her mind that when Karl came to watch her on the crew, she must take down Karl!
…
On the other side, when the door was pushed Smith entered Karl’s office, he happened to see him answering the phone with an impatient look.
You can tell from the content of the call that Karl is answering Miana’s call.
Smith remembered that Alyssa asked him before, whether Karl and Miana were having fun together.
Before, he hadn’t encountered Karl answering Miana’s phone call, let alone seeing how they were dating.
But at this moment, Karl, who was sitting in front of him, looked as cold as a cold night when he answered Miana’s call, giving people a feeling of coldness and no warmth from inside to outside.
In the past, when Karl answered Alyssa’s call, whether he was angry or expressionless, his eyes were warm.
Originally, after Smith put down the files, he could go out.
But he didn’t do that. Instead, he stood by and waited for Karl to finish the call before placing the file in front of him.
After Karl hung up the phone, he threw the phone aside, not even wanting to look at it.
This look fell in Smith’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but wonder if Karl and Miana were together because he liked Miana.
Karl reached out and flipped through the documents Smith had brought. Seeing Smith has not left, he raised his eyes and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“I have a question that I don’t know if I should ask.” Smith looked at Karl with hesitation.
Karl retracted his gaze and stopped looking at him, “If you think you shouldn’t ask, don’t ask.”
But Smith didn’t listen to him this time, but said aloud: “Sir, do you…really like Miss Palmer?”
Karl’s fingers for flipping through the file paused for a second, before continuing to flip through the file.
“This is what you want to ask?” Karl’s tone was cold and indifferent, and he couldn’t hear the joy or anger.
After Smith asked, he didn’t have so many scruples, and continued: “I think Sir, it seems that you don’t like Miss Palmer very much.”
“I heard that the older people are, the more wordy they are. I thought that you have been with me for so many years, and you are not the same as those who are wordy. Unexpectedly, you are the same.”
Karl didn’t seem to be angry, so he didn’t have any scruples: “Sir, do you have any difficulties with Miss Palmer when you are together?”
As soon as he said this, Karl’s hand that was still flipping through the file suddenly stopped, and closed the file with a “pop”, raising his eyes to Smith.
Karl’s eyes were as deep as a pool, and he couldn’t see the end at a glance, and it was terribly deep.
Smith knew that Karl was angry. He nodded slightly, but did not shut up as before, but continued to say: “If Boss has any troubles and is afraid that the young lady is worried, you can tell me not to hold it. I have been with you for almost ten years. I know you can trust me.”
Karl was a restrained person, and would never take the initiative to talk to others when he was holding back everything in his heart. From another perspective, even if someone like Karl is helpless, no one can help him solve it.
But no matter how strong he is, he is only a mortal of flesh and blood, and there will always be times when he cannot bear it.
“Do you think I can have any difficulties? Who can force me to do what I don’t want to do?” Karl’s tone was as confident as ever, as if no one could defeat him.
Smith was a little confused, he could feel that Karl really didn’t like Miana much.
At least he had never seen Karl take the initiative to call Miana. When he was with Alyssa before, he occasionally lost consciousness and then called Alyssa.
After thinking about it, Karl’s words were not a problem.
If Karl hadn’t volunteered, who could force him to be with Miana? He has never been a man at the mercy of others.
Smith stopped questioning, lowered his head slightly, and said, “I am the one who talks too much.”
“Go out.” Karl looked at him in a casual tone.
Before Smith went out, he couldn’t help but looked back at Karl.
Karl sat there and looked at the documents. He didn’t have any special expression, but he was imposing.
Such a person, indeed no one can force him to do something.
However, because he is willing and proactively to be with Miana, it does not mean that he likes Miana.
With the acumen that Smith has cultivated by following Karl for many years, he feels that things are not that simple.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Karl raised his head.
Chapter 708
Karl glanced in the direction of the door, and then leaned back on the chair behind him slightly loosely.
Are you struggling?
“Heh.” Karl laughed self-deprecatingly, lowered his eyebrows, and opened the drawer.
There is only one photo frame in the drawer. That photo frame was placed on the desk before. In the photo frame is Alyssa’s photo.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed it lightly on the photo, muttering to himself: “I have no problems.”
…
Alyssa and her party arrived at the hotel, and after putting their luggage, they held a meeting and made detailed arrangements for the affairs of the past few days.
The boot date is three days later.
Mattie is a little bit superstitious about this matter, and every time she turns on her, she deliberately finds a certain Master to watch the day.
Alyssa is not superstitious, but she also respects Mattie’s ideas.
When the meeting ended, it was already six o’clock in the evening and it was time for dinner.
The logistics ordered a seafood buffet, and everyone went to eat together.
Coming to a seaside city, they naturally want to eat seafood.
The restaurant is relatively high-end, although it is a buffet, but the price is not cheap.
After Miana was thrown into the dining room by Mattie before, she did not see Miana coming to the meeting room during the entire meeting.
After all, Miana’s position is just a dispensable idle position, and she is reluctant to attend such a business meeting.
When they were about to set off, they specifically called Miana.
“I’m not going anymore, I made an appointment with a friend for dinner.” Miana replied.
Mattie was anxious that Miana would not go.
“Do you still consider yourself to be an ignorant girl at this age? What do you do! It’s disgusting to look at.” Mattie and Alyssa walked side by side outside the hotel, constantly mocking Miana.
Alyssa did not secretly talk about people’s hobbies, and knew that Mattie had such a personality, and she was not disgusted.
The restaurant is not far from the hotel, and the crew walked past.
Alyssa was holding the bag in one hand and hanging down on her side, walking slowly, listening to Mattie talking all the way.
When crossing the road, Alyssa turned to look at Mattie, and said: “Do you dare to talk to Miana about this in person?”
Mattie fell silent all at once, and said sadly, “Don’t dare.”
“Her boyfriend is our financial father, and it seems that Karl treats Miana well, so I don’t dare to face Miana!” This is also Mattie’s most embarrassing point.
Had it not been for Karl, she would not be afraid of Miana.
Even if Miana’s father is a high-ranking official, there are people on her father’s side as well. The relationship here is too complicated, and it affects the whole person. It is not so simple that the grudge between the two women can be explained clearly.
Without Miana, everything went smoothly, except that Robin was almost recognized in the middle, nothing went wrong.
…
In the next few days, the entire crew began to get busy.
Until the day before the boot, everyone had another meeting together.
It was almost midnight before returning to the room.
When Alyssa was about to take a bath and sleep, she received a call from Mattie: “Alyssa, let’s go out for supper.”
“At twelve o’clock, you want to eat supper? Didn’t you say you want to lose weight?” Alyssa felt that Mattie asked her to go out for supper at this time.
“You know, it will be very busy after shooting begins. It has been three days here, and I haven’t said a few words to my boyfriend…” Mattie’s boyfriend naturally refers to Robin.
“You want to date Robin, just use me as a guide, right?” Mattie was afraid of being photographed by the media, so she specifically called her. Even if it is photographed then, there is one more explanation.
“We are friends, please~” Mattie acted like a baby with her deliberately.
Mattie is not bad for Alyssa, and Robin is also a good person. Alyssa naturally has no reason to refuse Mattie’s request.
“Okay, wait for me to change clothes.”
Seeing Alyssa agreed, Mattie was also very happy: “I’ll come and find you!”
As soon as Alyssa changed her clothes, the doorbell rang.
Alyssa straightened her hair, opened the door with her bag, and saw Mattie already guarding the door.
“Let’s go!” Mattie put on makeup and changed her dress specifically.
Alyssa looked down at her long dress and trousers and thought to herself, women in love are different.
Mattie took her arm and walked out: “What do you want to eat?”
Alyssa is not used to being so close to Mattie, trying to pull her arm out: “Anything is fine.”
Mattie didn’t let go, but tightened her hand tightly. She smiled and suggested, “How about eating Hot Pot?”
“Aren’t you supposed to ask Robin what he wants to eat?” Alyssa couldn’t, so she could only ask Mattie to hold her like this.
A sweet smile appeared on Mattie’s face: “He is not picky about eating everything, it depends on what you want to eat.”
Alyssa couldn’t help but glance at Mattie. After all, the appearance of a little woman like Mattie is very rare.
When the two took the elevator down, they met the crew in the lobby who had returned from shopping outside.
“Boss, go out so late.”
Mattie smiled and said, “I have supper with our screenwriter, do you want to be together?”
It’s a lie with your eyes open.
When the man saw that Mattie and Alyssa were so close, they had a good relationship with friends and went to have supper together. Mattie just asked, and the employee said consciously, “No, we are not hungry yet.”
After leaving the hotel, Alyssa asked Mattie, “Where can I meet?”
“Go by car, in a food city over there.” Mattie stopped the taxi directly and signaled Alyssa to get on.
When Alyssa and Mattie arrived at the food court square, they saw Robin.
Robin is tall and has a different temperament from those people, which is quite eye-catching.
The two walked up to Robin. Robin first glanced at Mattie, then at Alyssa, and asked her opinion: “Is it right to eat Hot Pot?”
Robin is so polite, Alyssa is also very simple: “Okay.”
The two found a Hot Pot restaurant nearby.
Although Alyssa is also a celebrity who is often on the trending search, not everyone has so much free time to frequently search the trending search. When they went in, no one recognized them.
However, the temperament of the three of them is different from ordinary people, which is particularly eye-catching.
Alyssa also noticed this: “Find a box.”
A few people entered the box. Mattie sat next to Robin. The two spoke in a low voice. Although they did not act too intimately, they looked very kind and natural.
Alyssa sat across from the two of them alone, stirring the dipping sauce silently, and began to regret agreeing to Mattie to come out for supper. She thinks she is a light bulb now.
