Chapter 1332
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âAlright!â Lillianâs voice interrupted Rosalieâs thought. âYou always think too much. Stop thinking about Calvin and his girlfriend. The best thing you should do now is to keep your baby and yourself healthy and safe.â
Rosalie smiled and thought, âYeah. My priority now is to keep my baby healthy rather than think about other things.â
On the day of the opening ceremony, Hanna arrived at the film studio with noticeable dark circles under her eyes.
Seeing Hanna like this, Shelly immediately said, âWhatâs wrong? Didnât you sleep well last night?â
âYou can see that?â said Hanna. She even covered her dark circles with foundation, but it seemed to have little effect.
âOf course.â Shelly rolled her eyes at Hanna. âI know this is your first comic adaptation and you can see Rowan today, you donât have to be too excited to sleep!â
Hanna smiled awkwardly and was too embarrassed to tell Shelly that it wasnât the reason why she didnât sleep well. As soon as she closed her eyes, Calvinâs cold and depressed eyes would appear in her mind.
Hanna thought, âThe woman named Rosalie whoâs pregnant and has a gentle smile is Calvinâs taboo, and the coldness and depression in his ey are all because of that woman.â
A vague answer appeared in Hannaâs mind. She thought, âMaybe it was because of Rosalie that Calvin wanted to pretend to be dating me. When he introduced me to Rosalie as his girlfriend, he clenched my hand so tightly that his fingers even stiffened after that. Only when he was nervous would his body react like this.â
âDo you want a cup of coffee to refresh yourself?â Shelly asked.
âNo, Iâm fine, I had coffee at home in the morning before I came here,â said Hanna.
âLetâs greet the producer and the director first, then. I think we can meet Rowan there as well,â said Shelly. Then she took Hanna inside.
There were already many reporters around the scene of the opening ceremony. After all, Rowan only chose big-budget television dramas before. People were really curious about why he suddenly picked a comic adaptation.
Many reporters even speculated the reason from various aspects such as the director, the female lead, the producer, and so on.
When Hanna followed Shelly through the crowds of reporters and fans and into the scene of the opening ceremony, she was already sweaty.
âThe producer is over there. Hanna, letâs go.â Shelly saw the producer at a glance, and then she took Hanna to walk over.
At this moment, the producer was chatting with several people. Suddenly, Shelly seemed to have seen something that surprised her. She came to an abrupt halt and uttered a soft âohâ.
Hanna looked at Shelly who stopped confusedly, âWhatâs wrong?â
âWell⦠âShelly looked embarrassed.
Hanna followed Shellyâs gaze and saw a person that she didnât expect.
It was Lorin!
Lorin was chatting with the producer not far away.
âWhatâs Lorin doing here?â Shelly said in surprise.
That was exactly what Hanna wanted to ask.
At this moment, the producer saw Shelly and Hanna, so he waved to them.
âCome on. Letâs go and greet them, âHanna said first, and then she took Shellyâs hand and walked towards the producer.
Looking at Hanna who came over, Lorin was in a trance. Hanna was dressed in a long mint dress with her hair tied into a ponytail today, looking like what she looked like when she was a student.
The faint dark circles under Hannaâs eyes reminded Lorin that when he first saw her, she often had dark circles under her eyes. When Lorin asked if she didnât sleep well, she would yawn and say it was because she was rushing to finish her comics.
âIs it necessary to work so hard on comics?â At that time, Lorin asked Hanna.
âItâs not hard for me if itâs what I like,â Hanna smiled carelessly. Although there were dark circles under her eyes, her eyes would light up when she talked about comics and the stories she wrote.
She looked so dazzling and beautiful.
âLet me make an introduction. This is Mr. Lorin Esther who added the investment in our drama this time. The production of our drama will be better by then.â The producer introduced Lorin with a smile.
Hanna and Shelly were both surprised. Although they had already known that someone had added investment in this drama, they didnât expect it to be Lorin.
They thought, âIs it a coincidence? Or did Lorin do it on purpose?â
Hanna looked at Lorin with vigilance in her eyes.
âThey are⦠âThe producer was about to introduce Hanna and Shelly, but Lorin interrupted him, âItâs fine. I know Hanna and Shelly. We are all alumni of the same school.â
The producer smiled. âWhat a coincidence. Then today is also a gathering for your alumni.â
âYeah, itâs really a rare gathering,â Lorin smiled softly.
Hanna also kept a fake smile on her face.
After chatting for a while, the producer and others left, leaving only Lorin, Hanna, and Shelly there.
The fake smile on Shellyâs face quickly disappeared. âLorin, what do want to do?â
âWhat do you mean?â Lorin asked without answering.
âWhy did you invest in this drama?â Shelly asked directly.
âYou should thank me for the investment, or you wonât be able to afford to pay Rowan,â said Lorin.
Shelly didnât know how to retort.
âThank you for investing in this drama, Mr. Esther,â Hanna said calmly, and then she pulled Shelly and was about to leave.
Lorin raised his hand to stop them. âI have no bad intention investigating in this drama. I just hope the drama you made can succeed. Iâm really sorry about what happened back then.â
Hanna said, âAs I said last time, I accept your apology, but it doesnât mean that I will forgive you. Mr.
Esther, investing in the drama is your business. Itâs also your business to make or lose money by it. I donât need you to investigate it because of me. I donât think weâre that close.â
Shelly snorted, âDonât you think itâs too late to apologize now? Why didnât you explain the reason why you framed Hanna in front of all the teachers and students back then? How dare you say you wanna apologize now?â
Lorinâs face stiffened.
