Chapter 1145
Zuri was finally relieved when she heard the engine of the car started. This troubled night was finally over. Tomorrow, she would fly to the crew after attending the press conference, and she could avoid Colin for another time.
However, it turned out that she was too naive in thinking this way. Before the press conference the next morning, Zuri was getting ready for the make-up in the dressing room, and Chelsea was there too. Chelsea was the screenwriter of “The Crown’, and she would also be in the meet-up today. She was wearing very light makeup today because she didn’t want to steal the spot light from the leading characters. She wanted to be as low-key as possible this time.
After Zuri’s makeup and hair were done, the event had not yet started. Zuri and Chelsea were chatting in the lounge.
Edmund was also there, making company of Chelsea. He wanted to take care of her for today, although Chelsea felt that he was a little bit on the way. However, she implied that, he just refused to Leave.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, Sylvie stood up to open the door.
After recognizing the person standing outside, Sylvie couldn’t help but giving out an exclaim. Hearing that, Zuri and Chelsea turned back. Zuri was startled. She stood up from the chair, feeling herself falling apart.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Chelsea just put a strawberry in her mouth and almost choked on it. The strawberry was careful handed to her by her husband Edmund, and having seen the person outside the door, she was so shocked that she almost swallowed the strawberry as a whole.
Ignoring her almost being choked, she stared at the man outside the door in astonishment, “Colin?” Sylvie grasped the door frame as she got dizzy by hearing the name, Colin.
Did she hear it right?
The man outside the door, Apollo on earth, was actually the sweetheart of her boss?
Sylvie used to be quite confused about Zuri’s obsession with this man. She was so gorgeous and beyond compare yet she just couldn’t forget a man that she had not seen for years. She had so many other choices, all styles of men working in the entertainment industry or wealthy businessmen, you name it. She ignored them all.
Now she understood why. No one could compete with this man, she thought to herself. Once you were in love with him, you were never able to love another.
As people in the Lounge had all kinds of reactions, Colin outside the door was quite at ease.
He gently helped a silver-haired old lady get inside the door, and politely greeted everyone, “Excuse me Ladies, | would like you to meet my grandma. She is such a big fan of your TV shows, so | used my connections in the crew to help bring her here to meet with you. | hope you would not mind.”
It was very clever of him not to come to Zuri directly. Using “grandma” as an excuse was such an unexpected move.
Chelsea was stunned, and she had not recovered yet from the shock that Colin had returned. Edmund put his arms around her, and gently padded her shoulder to calm her down.
As a famous actress at her prime, Zuri had experience in dealing with various situations. So at this moment, after the initial panic, she immediately showed her superb professionalism. She smiled and walked over to say hello to Colin’s grandma, “How are you Madam? Please come in! You have a good taste for fashion. | don't know you actually know about the show that we are making.”
She thought he was here for her, which startled her a great lot. But it turned out that he was here for his grandma, which kind of eased her down. What a lovely old lady! She found it very intriguing when older people managed to keep up with the trend of today.
Although Zuri greeted the old lady kindly, she still kept a certain social distance. She didn't expect the old lady to be such enthusiastic. She grabbed Zuri by the hands and said, “Zuri? What a pretty girl you are. You look so much more beautiful in real person.”
Zuri glanced at Colin next to her, then looked at her hands that were being held. She could not even manage a smile.
Zuri could not help feeling that the old lady’s attitude towards her was with too much enthusiasm. She seriously suspected that the old lady knew something about the relationship between her and Colin.
