Chapter 343 Ivan chuckled like a mischievous kid, âHaha, I was just kidding to see how good your English is. In fact, you speak English very well.â
Hamish jumped in to explain, âActually, Mr. Bartley here is hinting that you should win the girlâs heart ASAPâ
Farrell was thrilled to hear this.
He walked over to Ivan, gave him a light pat on the shoulder, âIâll do my best to win Mamieâs heart soon.â
Ivanâs face darkened immediately, and Agnes finally got the meaning of you reap what you sow.
The dinner went smoothly, with everyone in high spirits.
Even though Hamish was rumored to be a strict person, he was actually quite fun and humorous in private.
He often cracked jokes, keeping everyone in stitches.
When it came to movies, he could talk on and on, without a pause.
Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open, revealing two familiar figures.
Agnes looked surprised seeing Laura and Beatrice walking in.
Laura, holding a glass of wine, strode in, Theard youâre here, Hamish. I had to come and toast you, after all, you directed my first film.â
Hamish was equally pleased to see Laura, âLong time no see, Laura! Your departure from the acting scene was a big loss for us.
Come on, letâs drink up.â Agnes was surprised to find that Laura and Hamish were close After finishing her drink, Laura said, âI overheard in the hallway that you are here. My daughter, Agnes, is going to star in your new movie. Hamish, you must take good care of herâ
Laura was active in the industry and had connections with all the directors and producers Over the years, she had been handling most of the affairs of the Starlight International Group. Everyone respected her and knew about the Pritchard familyâs situation.
Laura was Agnesâs stepmother.
Hamish responded, âI like Agnes. Iâve watched her TV dramas. Sheâs a promising newcomer. Leave her to me, and you can rest easyâ
Laura poured another drink and toasted Hamish.
At this point, she gave Beatrice a signal.
Beatrice stepped forward promptly, âHamish, Iâm Beatrice, and youâre my idol, Im so happy to meet you today. Let me toast you too.â
Beatrice had just graduated from high school and was studying at an acting school.
She was not famous in the industry, and Hamish didnât know who she was Laura introduced her, âThis is my daughter Beatrice. Sheâs studying acting at a film school. Youâve always been her idol. She was thrilled to know youâre here today. She admires you so much.â
Hamish, already a bit tipsy, was flattered by Lauraâs praise and was in high spirits.
He turned to look at Beatrice, âFuture star, eh? The entertainment industry will be yours, the Pritchards, soon,â
âYouâre giving her too much credit,â Laura chuckled, âHamish, thereâs something Iâm a bit embarrassed to say. My little girl loves acting, especially seeing her sister Agnes in your drama, sheâs green with envy. She also wants to play a small role in your drama. Could you consider giving her a chance to hone her acting skills?â Hamish frowned slightly.
Everyone present understood that Lauraâs real purpose today was not to drink.
She was here to get a role for her biological daughter.
