They went to the coffee shop downstairs.
The waiter delivered two steaming cups of coffee, and Cecilia expressed her gratitude before nudging one toward Simon.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Simon took a hearty sip.
He felt considerably refreshed. After some hesitation, he began, “Cecilia, I didn't intend to oppose you.” Cecilia regarded him in silence.
She paused for a bit and then said softly, “I've already informed you that I can cover the studio rent myself, as well as any other losses incurred. I've completed two-thirds of this film, and all I asked was a few days off to take care of someone very important to me in the hospital, but you've never given me a chance.” Simon was taken aback.
Cecilia offered a serene smile and remarked, “Regarding Mr. Evans’ withdrawal and the I believe it's his as an backlash, right investor. It doesn't directly concern me. If you wish to discuss it, you should approach him.” Simon grasped the situation.
It appeared that Cecilia was no pushover at all! Being a member of the Fowler family, Cecilia shared the challenging disposition characteristic of the Fowler clan.
Simon wiped his brow with a tissue and finally divulged, “Another investor enlisted an art school student to act in the play. Otherwise, they wouldn't invest the forty million dollars the promised.” Cecilia's grin widened.
“Ah, I understand now.” Simon resorted to playing the sympathy card.
“I'm left with no choice. Consider it, Cecilia. I can’t afford to upset that investor, nor do I want to antagonize Mr. Evans.” “So, you seized the chance to remove me from the project and assign the role I secured to some rich man's paramour?” Simon hesitated.
After a while, he finally managed to say, “That's Mr. Kent we're talking about!” Cecilia requested Chandler Kent's phone number from Simon.
After some contemplation, Simon eventually yielded and provided it.
Cecilia paused and found the name familiar. She promptly dialed Peter's number.
Peter listened to Cecilia's inquiry.
