Chapter 88
The lengthened black Lincoln stopped at the gate of the club, attracting the attention of many men and women on the roadside.
Nicola Bery had already been used to such a scene. She pretended not to see it, opened the door and sat on the passenger seat. Then she turned her head back.
“President Andrew, are we really leaving like this?”
Leaning against the back seat, Philip Andrew closed his eyes and took a nap. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked into Nicola Bery’s eyes. “Do you have anything else to say?”
Nicola Bery shook his head.
What could he do?
“I’m just worried about… Miss Stuat. She doesn’t seem to be good at drinking.” As Nicola Bery spoke, she quietly looked at Philip Andrew’s face and said, “if Mr. Andrew and others continue to drink her wine after we leave, I’m afraid Miss Stuat’s body won’t be able to stand it.”
He had made up his mind that he would shut up as soon as there was any impatient expression on Philip Andrew’s face.
“No.” Philip Andrew said indifferently.
Nicola Bery asked in confusion.
But Philip Andrew didn’t explain anything more. He beckoned the driver to drive the car to the other side of the road under a tall pine tree. The tree shadows almost covered the whole car in the night.
Nicola Bery was even more confused. “President Andrew, what are we doing?”
“Wait.” Said Philip Andrew.
Nicola Bery stopped talking.
Confused as he was, he still followed Philip Andrew’s gaze and looked out, just in the direction of the club.
Less than ten minutes after they left the club, several figures appeared at the gate.
Although they were far away from each other, they could clearly see that the middle-aged man in the front was frowning with displeasure on his face. Beside him, two men in suits, one on the left and the other on the right, were all flattering.
“Is that Mr. Andrew?” Nicola Bery asked in surprise, “he came out too?”
He had been confused before, but now he figured out what had happened as he thought deeper.
Anglo Andrew didn’t aim at Anna Stuat for no reason. He really wanted to see Anna Stuat get angry with her. He didn’t even need to do it himself. As long as Anna Stuat gave him a hint, many people were willing to work for him.
Obviously, he did this for Philip Andrew.
If Philip Andrew couldn’t control her emotions just now and showed any reluctance to Anna Stuat, then Anglo Andrew would probably really aim at Anna Stuat and take her as the weakness of Andrew.
But now, it was so obvious that Philip Andrew didn’t care about it at all. Anglo Andrew didn’t want to hold on to Anna Stuat any more. What’s more, just now, Stuat was mentioned by Philip Andrew. If the Andrew knew about it, it would be more difficult for her to get along well with Stuat.
Anglo Andrew got in the car and left soon.
Nicola Bery then looked away and asked, “President Andrew, shall we go to the old house or the Lushan mansion next?”
At this moment, Philip Andrew slowly looked away and said, “no hurry.”
Seeing Nicola Bery’s inquiring expression, he continued, “arrange two people to go to the club to keep an eye on Anna Stuat. Report to me immediately if there is anything wrong.”
“Yes, sir.” Nicola Bery quickly nodded in agreement.
“Anna Stuat, how do you feel now?” Mike Berly helped Anna Stuat back to the apartment.
Not long after Anglo Andrew and the others left, the dinner was over. She helped Anna Stuat to the bathroom of the club and vomited. When Anna Stuat felt uncomfortable, she sent him back.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
With the help of her hand, Anna Stuat leaned against the sofa. She picked up a glass of water on the table and took two gulps. The discomfort all over her body finally eased down a little.
“I’m fine.” She shook her head. “I just drank too much and didn’t recover.”
Mike Berly nodded hesitantly. After thinking for a while, he asked, “do you have any ingredients in your fridge? I’ll make you a bowl of hangover soup.”
Then she stood up and wanted to check the fridge, but Anna Stuat pulled her hand out at once.
“Don’t bother.” “There are not many things in the fridge, and I’m not drunk.”
Seeing her calm face and clear logic, Mike Berly finally gave up the idea of cooking soup.
She stared at the face of Anna Stuat for a while, and couldn’t help but think of what had happened in the club before.
After the while, she couldn’t help but ask, “what happened in the club just now? Do you have any connections with the people from the Andrew family?”
The Berly family could be called a rich family in the capital, but it was nothing compared to the Andrew family.
She had heard about the condition of Anna Stuat from her grandfather. It seemed to be a single parent family with ordinary family conditions. She didn’t know how it had something to do with the people of the Andrew family.
In fact, Anna Stuat didn’t want to talk about the Andrew family or anything related to Philip Andrew.
But today, she had to give Mike Berly an explanation.
“Sort of.” Anna Stuat said, “I had a deal with Philip Andrew before. Maybe his uncle knew it and misunderstood our relationship, so…”
Then she shook her head and said, “it’s all in the past. But I think I should tell you because of what happened today. I’m afraid I can’t shoot your script.”
Mike Berly could understand.
Obviously, both the investor and the director had ulterior motives towards Anna Stuat. Of course, she couldn’t force Anna Stuat to shoot this movie just because of her future.
“It doesn’t matter.” Mike Berly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “if I had known what they did, I wouldn’t have let you take the role.”
Mike Berly stayed here for a while. Seeing that Anna Stuat looked tired, he didn’t want to disturb her anymore and said goodbye.
After sending her away, Anna Stuat sat on the sofa and looked up at the white ceiling. She couldn’t help but think of what had happened in the private room before. The words “none of my business” from Philip Andrew echoed in her mind, making her extremely irritable for a moment.
After a long while, Anna Stuat closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about it anymore.
She told herself not to be bothered by these things, and she didn’t have so much time to be bothered by these unworthy things.
Then she had to find her mother, the Stuat family and other things. She still had a lot to do.
On the second morning, Mike Berly called and told Anna Stuat that the matter of the movie had been solved and she didn’t need to worry about it anymore.
Anna Stuat breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“I’m sorry to bother you.” Mike Berly said, “by the way, you said you didn’t have a job. Do you have any new plan now?
