Chapter 1150
Compared to other women who reveled in their animosity because of lan, Coral’s attitude wasimpressively patient.
For Maja, this made Coral all the more endearing.
“You’re fight not to be with him, Coral You two just aren’t a good match.”
Coral chuckled and finished her cup of coffee just as the school bell rang from outside.
“I’m sorry, but my little brother just got out of class. He’s in twelfth grade this year and I promised tohave lunch with him. With his studies taking up so much time, I asked him to come here. I hope youdon’t mind, Ms Pennyfeather”
Before coming. Maja had done her research and knew that Coral had a younger brother, though not byblood. Coral had adopted him, but the details of the adoption were not known.
A moment later, Maja saw a tall young man crossing the street. He was around nighteen, handsome,exuding a youthful charm. Quite a few students surrounded him, but his demeanor was strikinglysimilar to Coral’s–somewhat aloof.
Noticing Coral, he waved to his friends and quickly walked over
“Sis”
He called out, not even glancing at Maja.
Coral nodded at him and pulled out a lunch box from her bag.
brought this for you. Eat up.
Barton Albright nodded, sat down quietly, and started to eat his lunch.
Seeing how he looked like, Maja couldn’t help but ask, “Coral, have you ever thought of getting yourbrother into the entertainment circle“”
Coral shook her head “This kid is made for academia.”
Upon hearing this. Barton looked at Maja, politely nodded, and then continued to eat his lunch.
Unlike most cheerful high students, this kid was somewhat reserved
Maja’s gaze lingered on him. She had a feeling that the way he looked at Coral was a bit off.
She wisely chose not to bring it up now, but waited until Barton had finished his meal and left for classto ask Coral.
“Why did you suddenly decide to have lunch with Barton today? As far as I know you don’t spend a lotof time in Greenfield.”
The icy demeanor on Coral’s face vanished in an instant
“In high school, Barton’s grades have consistently been at the top of his class. Recently, though, he’sslipped to being ranked over two hundred. His head/ teacher called me about it, so I came back fromoverseas. With standardized tests around the corner, I’m worried something’s been bothering him.”
Maja stirred her coffee, deep in thought. She knew that Barton, with his good looks and academicprowess, must be popular at school. But his demeanor was so similar to Coral’s, it was as if he wastrying to mimic her. Coral was somewhat aloof, and as a writer, she tended to get lost in her own world,rarely connecting with others
Loving a woman like that could leave one feeling helpless.novelbin
And in that helplessness, one might resort to desperate measures to bring het back
Maja had an idea “Coral, your script won’t be lacking investors. The chances of you picking me areslim, but I really love your script. I can try to befriend Barton You’re not the type to open up to people,Coral, but my company has many young people who might be able to get through to him. PerhapsBarton would be willing to confide in me?”
Coral looked at her skeptically “If you’re trying to get Barton into show business. Ms. Pennyfeather,forget it. I know how dirty this circle can
“No, I just want to help Barton open up”
Coral was skeptical Since she came back, she had been trying to talk to Barton, but he had beenevasive On the surface, he seemed as as before, but something was off She just couldn’t put her fingeron what it was
“Alright if you can truly help Barton, then I’ll choose your investment for my script. But be prepared,without some hundreds of millions, we the effect I want”
“Don’t worry, Coral”
Maja breathed a sigh of relief, a smile creeping onto her face.
Once she got back to her car, she checked her phone to find new messages from lan
[Still feeling dizzy, but I have an international meeting tonight
[Are you planning to ignore me forever?
[You haven’t visited since Grandpa Holden passed. Want to go together tomorrow?
Maja found herself unable to refute the last message
