Chapter 77 Jealous?
Looking at Aliceâs proud face, Mary smiled helplessly. âItâs a good thing to be confident.â
âBut.â
âYou havenât won the award yet. Isnât it a little too early to start planning your future?â
âIs it?â
âIn less than an hour, I will get the award that I deserve.â Raymond sneered.
âAre you sure that nothing will happen within this hour?â
âMary, after saying so much, you still canât stand the blow of me and Raymond getting the award, right?â
Alice rolled her eyes.
There was no suspense at all for tonightâs award. Not only did Director Lee spend money for her, but Elena also helped her. Before coming here, Alice even opened the envelope and saw the winnerâs name already. Tonight, the best actor was Raymond, and the best newcomer actress was her. There was no doubt at all!
âWhatever.â
Mary yawned, âHowever, since you are sure that you can get the award, why donât you come back and show off to me after you get it?â âYou two only make me want to laugh right now.â
âYou!â
âMary, just you wait.â Alice glared at her fiercely before smiling. âDonât leave after tonightâs ceremony ends!â âDonât worry, I wonât leave,â the woman said with a faint smile. After saying that, Mary didnât bother to look at them anymore and closed her eyes to rest. In fact, she did not know who the best actor was tonight. Maybe it was Raymond, or maybe it was someone else. But what she knew was that the best newcomer actress for tonight would definitely not be Alice.
It was not because she knew some insider news, but becauseâ¦
Among the judges for the best newcomer actress, there was Director Lee, and his
decision hod a higher influence than others. Soon, the people in the venue came one after another.
Because Mary was a little newcomer in the entertainment circle, she was not part of the red carpet or the small talk. She was also happy to have nothing to do. She watched the show while taking videos and sending them to Anne. Until Leo appeared on her camera, âWhy are you here?â Mary was startled. If she remembered correctly, Leo had publicly announced that he would not participate in this yearâs ceremony.
After all, he had won almost all the awards in the past few years. In order to give the others a chance to win the award, he took the initiative to quit. âI changed my mind.â Leo sat down next to Mary. He looked ahead and said calmly, âI saw the actors this
year.â
âNone of them are really qualified.â âThe only one who is Ok is the actor called Raymond.â He turned to look at Mary. âBut his performance is not very stable.â âAlthough he did not make any mistakes in his acting before, in the past month, he has been doing very well.â âItâs not that he doesnât work as hard. I think he must have changed his acting instructor.â
âAfter all, Iâve already won Golden Ox Award several times. I donât want the credibility of this award to drop. So, I told the judges that I would participate.â
âAre you surprised?â he asked as he glanced at Mary. âVery surprised.â Mary nodded. She was pretty sure now Raymond would not get the award! âWe had a little misunderstanding before.â Leo changed to a comfortable position and sat on the chair next to Mary. âAfter returning that day, Stella also explained everything to me in detail.â âI apologize to you and your husband for my attitude that day.â âIn the future, you and I have to work together. I donât want there to be too much of a gap between you and me.â
Chapter 17 lalu She did not expect that someone of Leoâs status would come to her side to apologize to her in public.
âActually, I have long forgotten.â The woman smiled awkwardly. âYou forgot, but I didnât forget.â âThe fact that Iâm sitting next to you is enough for you to make the headlines tonight.â Leo smiled as he looked at the reporters who were shooting at them from afar. âTake it as an apology from me.â
ââ¦â Mary.
She didnât realize that there were so many reporters taking photos of her and Leo! No wonder she felt a chill behind her back.
She took a deep breath and continued to chat with Leo.
In a private room on the second floor of the venue, a man in black was holding a red wine goblet in his hand. He looked coldly at the woman in a blue dress. âWilliam, what are you doing?â Seeing that he had been leaning there without moving, Mark frowned and walked over. At a glance, he saw that Mary was chatting and laughing with Leo downstairs. âNo wonder youâre frozen.â Mark patted William on the shoulder and teased, âIt seems that they are just talking about work. Are they going to act together in a movie?â âIt was you who helped Mary get the opportunity.â âThereâs no need to be jealous.â âWho said I was jealous?â William narrowed his eyes and looked up at him. âThen why are you standing here and not moving?â âDonât forget, we are not here to watch the show tonight.â Mark pouted.
The man turned to look at him. âThen what are we here for?â
ââ¦â Mark.
The reason they came to this awards ceremony tonight was obviously to investigate a commercial spy.
Previously, they had received news that the commercial spy would be exchanging information with someone at this awards ceremony, so they had come. Unexpectedly, after coming here, William had no intention of investigating the spy at all.
Chapter 77 Jealous?
In his eyes, there was only Mary! âDonât look anymore.â âShe is your wife. Havenât you looked enough at home?â Mark raised his hand to block his line of sight.
William narrowed his eyes and slapped his hand away. He continued to look in the direction of Mary and Leo with a burning gaze.
Wellâ¦
Mark rolled his eyes. âThen do you still want to investigate your spy?â
âYouâre here.â
William glanced at him indifferently. âYou can do it.â
Was the Notman Group Williamâs company or his? Why did he have to investigate?
Howeverâ¦
Mark sighed. In fact, losing millions was not worth mentioning to William. Mark was actually quite surprised that he took the initiative to bring up the matter. He did not expect that Mr. Notman, who was usually very busy, would actually take the initiative to investigate an insignificant spy. Perhaps, from the beginning, Williamâs goal was just to see Mary⦠Thinking of this, Mark raised his leg and was about to leave when he heard Williamâs low voice. âTell me, how about I enter the entertainment industry?â Mark almost fell to the ground. âWhy?â he asked weakly. âI feel uncomfortable watching her chat with him.â The man looked at Mary seriously. ââ¦â Mark. But you say youâre not jealous?
