  Double-Faced?

  

      If the director was referring to her time in the Barron family, then what he meant was that she was shameless and unscrupulous.

  

      She accepted the compliment but before she could reply, the man beside her suddenly placed his chubby hand on her shoulder.

  

      Bonnie instinctively dodged, and the man ended up embracing air. He awkwardly chuckled and said, "Oh, Ms. Collins, are you too shy to remember me?"

  

      As he spoke, she finally got a good look at him.

  

      Of course, she remembered him. He was famous in the industry for sexual harassment, and he was the general manager of Barron Group's subsidiary, and one of Ambrose's subordinates.

  

      "I don't remember you," she replied coldly, without the smile from earlier.

  

      He had been well-liked in the industry for so many years, and this was the first time someone had so d

  Ambrose stood up before Elaina finished speaking, looking like he was about to leave.

  

      "What are you doing, Ambrose? It's my birthday today, and you're leaving without eating anything?" Mrs. Barron frowned.

  

      "I have something to do," Ambrose said in a deep voice.

  

      With just that one sentence, he left in a hurry without even grabbing his coat. Elaina sighed and looked at the suit jacket, her heart beating faster. "Mrs. Barron, I...I'll go give him his coat."

  

      As soon as Ambrose arrived, everyone was looking at him.

  

      "Mr. Barron...Mr. Barron, you're finally here. Can you believe Bonnie had the nerve to treat me this way!" Mr. Greer had lost the arrogance he had earlier and was making a hash of things in the private room.

  

      Bonnie found him annoying and rolled her eyes helplessly.

  

      "Bonnie," Ambrose called her name indif

  Elaina bit her lip as everyone's eyes fell on her. She knew that if she didn't do something today, she would not be able to get away with it.

  

      She forced a smile and said, "Of course."

  

      She then pulled out a stack of scripts from the pile of files and stared at the lines with a sense of urgency, clearly wanting to memorize more.

  

      "What's taking you so long?" Danielle asked, trying to mock her.

  

      Faye was annoyed and interrupted, "Why are you rushing her!"

  

      "Okay, okay." Elaina handed the script to Faye and took a deep breath. She began to recite, stumbling over her words, "How can I not remember saying these words? Finley, if you... if you truly love me, you should know what happened last summer...last summer..."

  

      She stuttered and couldn't even finish the sentence.

  

      "I can tell that you don't remember saying these words," Bonnie sneered, breaking the silence.

  

      Everyone couldn't help but snicker.

  

      Elaina's face turned red and she couldn't take it anymore, "Ms. Collins, you don't have to target me like this."

  

      'Target you?' Bonnie raised her eyebrows in surprise and thought, 'Didn't you try to steal my role? Now you're turning the tables on me?'

  

      "I know you're not happy about Ambrose divorcing you, but... but it wasn't me who instigated it. You really don't have to treat me like this. We're both from the same company..."

  

      As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's memories were brought back to reality.

  

      Yes, even if her acting was bad, she was still under Ambrose's protection. On the other hand, Bonnie had just been divorced and could be blacklisted in the future. How could she be so tough to target Ambrose's sweetheart?

  

      "I'm sorry, let me interrupt," Bonnie raised her hand to signal a pause, "Didn't his assistant tell you? I'm the one who dumped Ambrose."

  

      Elaina was stunned. If she shook her head, she would seem less close to Ambrose, but she really hadn't heard about the news.

  

      Seeing her expression, Bonnie smiled, "And last night, your dear Ambrose kept me from leaving for a long time. I'm so annoyed by his clinginess. Can you tell him to stay away from me if you see him?"

  

      Last night...

  

      Elaina suddenly remembered why Ambrose had left and then came back so angry...

  

      Everyone was initially skeptical, but seeing Elaina's expression, they were all stunned.

  

      No wonder Bonnie still had such a strong attitude. She had obviously dumped Ambrose! This girl was so brave!

  

      Faye also realized this and was so angry that she couldn't even utter a curse.

  

      --

  

      At night, at the Marriott Hotel.

  

      This was Bonnie's first contract negotiation after her comeback, and it was recommended by a director whom she had a good relationship with before. Although her role was not significant, it was still considered a good resource.

  

      As they approached the entrance in the car, Danielle couldn't help but recall their conversation earlier in the day and asked, "Bonnie, what you said earlier couldn't be true, could it?"

  

      "What?" Bonnie asked.

  

      "That Ambrose was clinging to you like a leech," Danielle said.

  

      Bonnie thought for a moment, rolled up her sleeve, and revealed a bright red bruise, "You don't believe me? Look at this," she said.

  

      Danielle was shocked. She could hardly believe that Ambrose, who was was few words, could act like this.

  

      Ignoring Danielle's stunned expression, Bonnie walked into the hotel. As the people at the table saw her, several men were stunned by her beauty.

  

      Bonnie was indeed too beautiful. Her flamboyant style was like a red rose that made it impossible for people to look away.

  

      Bonnie laughed lightly, found a seat, and raised a glass of wine, "I'm sorry, I'm late. I'll punish myself," she said.

  

      Her confident manner even made the investors laugh.

  

      "We heard before that Ms. Collins not only has great talent but is also very sophisticated. Today, seeing you in person, we can tell that it's true," one of them said.
