The Love Book

chapter 43 – Arrogance also has capital



Inside the restaurant, Phoebe Barnes looked at Kelsey Long across the table with an expressionless face and said, “I’m going to terminate my contract with Shengtian.”

Kelsey Long, having heard what happened when she went to see John Lu, probably guessed that this was the outcome and said warmly, “So have you thought about what to do next?”

“Not yet.” Phoebe Barnes holds her cup of tea and shakes her head matter-of-factly.

The termination of the contract means that she has to start all over again, maybe all her previous efforts are in vain and maybe the next company is even worse, but what other options does she have now?

Kelsey Long wrinkled her brow and hesitantly said, “Why don’t you wait a little longer, and if you find the next company, then hire a lawyer to terminate your contract with this side.”

But through last night, Lu Shao may already know her, and if she can’t wait to cancel her contract, she is clearly offending him?

The entire entertainment industry is unlikely to have a place for Rong after offending John Lu.

Phoebe Barnes sighed and said sullenly, ” Sister Long, do you think I … am being too capricious? It seems like there’s no use tossing it back and forth like this.”

But there’s no way she’s going to say yes to John Lu’s request.

Kelsey Long looked at her with some helplessness, “All your notices and advertising activities are now all cut off, the endorsement is also snatched by others, even if you do not fold, it seems that there is no chance to turn around.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes pulled her lips into a self-deprecating grin.

Knowing that they have chosen a swamp without a way out, but still thinking about getting out of the mud, not knowing that the struggle to struggle to the end will only get deeper and deeper.

Kelsey Long gave her a hesitant look and said, “I met Emily Bryrant at work yesterday.”

Phoebe Barnes looked up at her, slightly stunned.

Kelsey Long said with a slightly indignant tone: “That woman is arrogant, said to go to Lu Shao, I think it is just to show off, everyone knows that Lu Shao is not in the company.”

“She has capital for her arrogance.” Phoebe Barnes’ eyes fell on the restaurant’s minimalist décor and smiled softly, “John Lu gave her everything, and she naturally gave a lot.”

Kelsey Long sneered and smacked her lips with some disdain, “Then she didn’t have to put up that kind of a front, as if she was more noble than anyone else, but also a woman who relies on the flesh to get to the top, I feel disgusted.”

Phoebe Barnes pulled her lips unnecessarily and laughed lightly, “You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so many years, haven’t you already seen such things very lightly? What else is there to worry about?”

“Yeah, why?” Kelsey Long also snickered and asked herself, then replied, “I guess I’m just jealous, obviously you’re not worse than her, why are you still not on fire after a few years of mixing? I have a feeling that I’m not getting any talent.”

Phoebe Barnes snorted out a laugh, face Rong fresh and sweet, “I probably belong to the kind of million years not red.”

“…”

After a period of time, Phoebe Barnes is really very idle, and the relationship with Kemp Ross is also still a seemingly uncomfortable, not hot.

But, even if the man has always been not much over her work, also perceived an abnormal, as an artist, a month without going out to work, she is to quit the entertainment industry?

Finally, at the dinner table, Kemp Ross put down his dishes, his dark eyes looked at her calmly, and asked in a low voice, “You’ve failed to act, so you’re going to be a housewife instead?”

Phoebe Barnes swallowed, lowered her eyes stiffly, and whispered, “No, just taking a break …”

Kemp Ross looked at her somewhat vain expression, a pair of dark deep eyes can not see the bottom, the tone of voice is even light sparse, “directly say you can not get a scene, was not more accurate?”

He could think of two consequences for her when she said she had gone to see John Lu, to sleep with him and become popular, or the other way round.

But, even to this point, she has never begged him for a word. Does she think he won’t help her, or does she want to keep playing lustful with him?

Phoebe Barnes’ eyes flashed, and instead of denying it, she simply said, “I’ll take care of it.”

Kemp Ross did not continue to ask her what she intended to do with it, he even felt a little ridiculous why he should care about her business.

Even if she did get into John Lu’s bed, what would it matter to him?

Without a word, picking up the phone that was resting on the table, the man got up and went to the study.

Phoebe Barnes took a deep breath, her heart did not know whether it was lost or what, he knew her current dilemma, even if he did not help her just one more question, her heart will be glad some.

The phone in his pocket vibrated.

She was stunned for a second, came back to her senses and opened her phone, ” Sister Long, what is it?”

Kelsey Long’s voice came out, “In a week, Lu Shao is hosting a dinner party in the name of Shengtian, do you want to come?”

“A dinner party?” Phoebe Barnes frowned slightly; this wasn’t the time for an annual meeting either. “What’s the purpose of the banquet?”

Kelsey Long said, “What do you care what the purpose is? With the two names of Shengtian and Lu Shao, the banquet that night must be a time for stars and directors to gather, and you might be able to take your chances when you come.”

Phoebe Barnes thought about it and nodded, “Then you can help me prepare.”

Kelsey Long added at the end, with a teasing tone, “You can bring a male companion, do you want to find one too?”

“Then you go with me dressed as a man.”

“…”

After hanging up the phone, she went upstairs to take a short bath.

At ten o’clock in the evening, the door of the master bedroom was suddenly pushed open.

Phoebe Barnes stared at the man who appeared in the doorway, dumbfounded and startled.

The two of them have been separated for almost two months, the room has been broken for a month, she listened to Nancy MO words, recently has not actively provoked him, then he came over …

The pounding in her heart inexplicably intensified, and she said in a slightly muffled voice, “You, do you want something?”

“Take a bath!”

The man didn’t even look at her, and his tall figure walked directly towards the bathroom inside.

Phoebe Barnes blinked dumbly, taking a shower?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The second bedroom didn’t have a bathroom, but there was a separate bathroom outside and a separate pool, so why would he come to her room to shower?

Hearing the sound of water coming from inside soon, Phoebe Barnes’ heart felt more nervous and unconsciously gripped her pajamas.

Half an hour later, the bathroom door was opened, and hearing the sound, the woman on the bed’s heart clenched violently, but she continued to pretend to stare at the phone screen in a bashful manner.

With a damp vapor, Kemp Ross narrowed his eyes slightly at this different reaction from her usual, and lazily opened his mouth, “I’m not naked, is this ignoring reaction too deliberate?”

Ben is deliberate, Phoebe Barnes instantly embarrassed to raise his eyes to look at him, short black hair wet, lean waist at once surrounded by a white bath towel, there is a clean cold, but from the deep features, the brow between a rare comfortable, like washing away the fatigue of laziness.

She suddenly had the illusion that the man was somewhat … unusually confused tonight.
