CHATER 1018

The following week went smoothly, with work going on like clockwork and life repeating itself day after

day.

Except for the day when they both lost control on their way to the Lamont family, Jonathan never

looked for her again.

Every time she saw Gwen, she would involuntarily think of Jonathan, wondering if he said those

outrageous words because he had some sort of possessive desire for her.

Gwen and Clarice were still getting along well. Clarice would always mention Jonathan in front of

Estelle, and Gwen looked happy, like a woman immersed in love.

Life went on as usual. The only surprise for Estelle was that Mr. Kress suddenly changed his attitude

towards her for the better.

After Estelle refused his help in becoming an actress, Mr. Kress intentionally made things difficult for

her. But starting this week, Mr. Kress’s attitude changed dramatically, and he became as attentive as

before, gifting her lipstick and flowers, and even having someone buy her afternoon tea. Even when

Estelle rejected him, he persisted.

Eventually, the whole crew knew that Mr. Kress was pursuing designer Estelle.

One day, Mr. Kress’ assistant once again delivered a bouquet of roses to her. Estelle tossed them

aside and coldly said, “Tell him, if he sends flowers again, I’ll call the police and accuse him of

harassment!”

The assistant quickly took the flowers and left.

Within half an hour, Mr. Kress personally came over with flowers, a big smile on his face, “Estelle, if you

don’t like roses, I’ll switch to lilies tomorrow!”

Estelle looked at him coldly, “What are you trying to do, spit it out!”

Mr. Kress immediately said, “I like you, I want to pursue you, can’t you see that? Estelle, I was wrong

before and used the wrong way to express my feelings for you, I apologize. But my feelings for you are

real, I’ve liked you since the first time you joined the crew.”

“I accept your apology, but nothing more. I don’t like you, please don’t send flowers again!” Estelle said

indifferently.

Mr. Kress didn’t expect such a straightforward rejection after his heartfelt confession.

He stared at Estelle, laughing, “Estelle, don’t rush to reject me, think about it! Although I’m a few years

older than you, I look young and I’m worthy of you. Plus, I’ve been in the entertainment industry for

over a decade, with resources and connections. I’ve rejected all the college students and minor

celebrities who pursued me!”

He continued, “I heard you’re from out of town. I have two houses in J City. If you agree to marry me, I

can put your name on one of them.” Estelle’s eyes flashed with sarcasm, her expression unchanged,

“Sorry, I really have no plans for a relationship, I just want to work hard.”

“Estelle, you just graduated from college, right? Don’t you know how hard it is to make a living

nowadays? What’s wrong with being with me? You’ll have money to spend and someone to help you. If Content held by .

you want to be a star, I can totally help you, guaranteeing that you’ll be even more popular than Gwen!”

Mr. Kress was persistent Estelle’s eyes were cold, “I’ve made myself clear, please don’t interrupt my

work, Mr. Kress.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t pay any more attention to Mr. Kress and turned around to get

back to work.

Mr. Kress watched Estelle’s departing figure, a cold smile on his face.

Two days later, the crew held a dinner party.

The director chose a high-end restaurant with good privacy. The leading actors Gwen and Steven were

present.

As usual, they were divided into three tables. But this time, Gwen sat at the director’s table, surrounded

by friends like Clarice and Steven.

Craig and Estelle sat together. He poured Estelle a glass of wine and said with a smile, “Even after

seeing through human nature, it still feels ironic.”

Estelle clinked glasses with him and said with a faint smile, “Chill out, youngster.”

Craig knocked back a large mouthful of wine and said, “At least we’re still together.” After drinking

some wine, Estelle went to the restroom.
