Chapter 100 Chapter 100 No matter how busy he was, he would reply to her messages even with a short reply like. âTalk about it later, or Iâm in a meeting.â
But this time, she didnât get a word!
Her face twisted with anger.
At the same time, Kelvin was talking to Elizabeth in the lounge.
âMr. Miller,â Elizabeth greeted him politely.
âYou were early today.â
âIâm sorry for being late in the past.â
After the call with Benson, Elizabeth suddenly recalled that Samuel had not been transferred the money yet. It was already nine oâclock. âIs he so shameless as to not give me the reward?â she thought. So, she made a phone call to Samuel.
Samuel was listening to work reports by two senior executives when his phone rang.
The two executives ignored the ringtone and continued reporting for they knew Samuel never picked up calls during working hours.
To their surprise, Samuel got up from his chair and made a pause gesture, and then walked to the window to answer the phone.
He could overlook the entire city from the window as if he were in the clouds.
The phone had been ringing in his hand for a while. Just as he was about to answer it, the way how Elizabeth acted last night popped into his mind.
He knew she must have called to urge him for transferring money.
Squeezing his eyes, he dropped the idea of answering the phone.
âDo you want money?
âI wonât give it to you so easily!â he thought.
The two executives looked at him from behind and then at each other in disbelief.
Samuel had never picked up any calls during working hours even though it was from Celia, the publiclyârecognized wife of Samuel, They wondered who it was on the other side of the phone making Samuel hesitate over answering it.
As they were guessing, Samuel turned around and sat back. âContinue,â he said coldly.
They quickly brought themselves back to the present and continued to report, as if what had just happened was just their imagination.
Elizabeth kept calling Samuel, but he didnât answer.
In fact, Samuel had put his phone on silent mode since he had expected it.
âSamuel, letâs wait and see!â Elizabeth thought.
The first thing she would do after filming was to get even with him.
By the time Elizabeth left the lounge, the production team was in a mess, Kelvin and Duke were nowhere to be seen. All the staff was My Soul Craves You Against All Odds 67.7%
Chapter 100 searching for something.
Elizabethâs eyebrows furrowed. She realized that something was wrong.
She heard a woman crying. As she looked sideways, Elizabeth saw Celia crying her eyes out in her costume.
âCelia, donât cry. Weâve been looking for it for you.â
âRight. Weâll find it.â
âYou know what?â Nancy looked sad. âThe bracelet is the birthday gift Celia got from her boyfriend last year. Itâs specially customized by Mr. York, so it means a lot to her. If we canât get it back...â
âNo way! Iâll find it!â Celia was crying her eyes out. âI... I saw it before I got changed.â
âIt must be somewhere here. Look, all of the crew, including makeup artists and the director, are looking for it. We all know how much it means to you.â
âYes, weâll definitely find it. Celia, drink some water.â
Celia raised her hand to wipe her swollen eyes, saying in a choked voice, âThank you. Iâm. sorry for the trouble. The bracelet means the world to me.
Sam said that itâs my lucky star that can bring me good luck. I canât lose it.â
Her heartbroken look made people feel sorry for her as if she had lost her everything.
Elizabeth watched coldly from several feet away, disgusted by Celiaâs affected look.
âWhatâs the big deal? Isnât it just a bracelet?
âHow pretentious she is!
âAre we going to put off filming just because of her bracelet? Iâm going to see Samuel for money after it,â Elizabeth thought.
âCelia, where have you been since you arrived?â
âRight. Where have you been?â Nancy echoed.
Celia sobbed. âI... Iâve just been to the dressing room. Oh, Iâve been to the restroom. Oh my god! Didnât I drop it into the toilet?â
âAny other places have you been to?â
Celia shook her head, her redârimmed eyes looking pitiful.
âNancy, look for it in the restroom now. Iâll take it off every time I wash my hands or get changed. I should have worn it all the time if I wasnât afraid of breaking the bracelet.â
âOkay, Iâll go there right away. Donât worry.â
Elizabeth felt speechless.

Elizabeth suddenly had a bad feeling. She happened to have been to the bathroom just after Celia.
âIs she trying to frame me?â Elizabeth thought.
Nancy came back soon and said that she didnât find the bracelet.

âThereâre surveillance cameras at the entrance and exit of the bathroom. Weâll know who has been there during this time.â
Kelvin had installed a surveillance camera at the entrance and exit of the bathroom for fear that something indecent happened.
