Chapter 199
Accidental love
Rick had been waiting for Anna at the gate. After all, she hadnât been here before. Rick led the way in person, afraid that she would feel embarrassed.
Gorgeous European palace-style decorations were displayed in the corridor. Surrounded by classical music, Anna felt like she as in a palace.
Anna took a careful glance. The attendees tonight were not only pop stars but also movie superstars, even Serena, the well-known Asian advertising queen who she met several times.
Anna sat at the bar, drinking champagne alone. The lavender long dress reinforced her elegance and over-worldly beauty.
Rick introduced her to a movie superstar, âHugo, this is our new actress, Anna.â
Though she wasnât a professional movie actress, Anna knew his status in the film industry very well. A decade ago, he had established a firm foothold in Hollywood, shooting in many action movies. The achievement he made today was equal to that others struggled for all their life.
Anna smiled elegantly and addressed him politely, âMr. Hugo...â
âNice to meet you. Iâm looking forward to our cooperation.â
âMy pleasure.â
âIs Anna here?â The rest of them noticed their presence and walked over to greet them with champagne. Rick was introducing with a smile and hoped Anna could fit in as soon as possible.
After the introduction, Anna chose to sit next to Serena.
They were once compared by the media. However, Serena was a child star and acted with international superstars at a very young age. Her strength couldnât be underestimated.
Serena looked around at Anna with a smile. âHow is it? Do you get used to it?â
âNot bad...â
âYouâll feel better soon. The Dahlia is a unique place where all kinds of talents gather together.â Serena took a sip. Cupping her chin, she asked, âWhere is your agent? Didnât he come with you?â
âI havenât seen my agent yet,â Anna told the truth.
âI heard that youâre going to shoot an ad in France. Itâs a famous brand in that local area. Many artists even fought for it, even those from the Ole.â
Serena paused and added, âI remember you didnât work well with them before you retired. Youâll meet them on various occasions in the future. Be careful.â
Anna looked at her face and nodded.
âYou must be familiar with infighting for resources. But the Dahlia is different. Youâll know. Of course, it also depends on the strength of your agent and your rapport.â
Anna knew it depended on the strength and sometimes on backgrounds. The higher level the resource was, the more intense the competition was.
But she didnât know who her agent was. She couldnât draw any conclusions.
Anna had a free and comfortable talk with Serena. They reached the same view on many things. Rick walked past them and said mysteriously, âActually, our CEO will be here tonight.â
Everyone beamed with surprise, and some even applauded with excitement.
As the CEO of the Dahlia, Jack had an exclusive elevator. Besides, he rarely showed up. Therefore, for all of them, Jack was like a mysterious emperor, more brilliant than any superstars.
Serena sensed Annaâs uniquely natural and sweet smile. Even Hugo, a movie superstar, was ecstatic about Jackâs arrival. But Anna didnât have any emotional fluctuation.
âDo you know Mr. Jack well?â
âYeah, sort of.â Anna was frank.
âMr. Jack seldom attends this kind of activity in the company. Itâs better to say that he yearns for an ordinary life, rather than a mysterious man. He doesnât look like an insider.â Serena smiled meaningfully and drank her champagne.
Anna studied Serena, feeling Serena was familiar, and their dispositions were quite close. Probably, she didnât have to be alert.
A few minutes later, there were discussions and cheers in the hall. Anna watched Jack entering the door slowly. His handsome and tall figure made everyoneâs heart thump.
Jack wore this woolen coat when he went for work in the morning. Probably because of the alcohol, Anna was desperate to rush over and embrace him. She would recall what he looked like at home unconsciously.
Jack greeted the artists one by one.
When he looked into her eyes, Jackâs eyes turned scorching hot. He understood her expression and narrowed his eyes slightly, suggesting that she drink less. At the same time, he also tried hard not to approach her.
Anna raised her glass and nodded.
âAnna, come here...â Rick noticed Anna was standing still not far away and called her.
âToast to Mr. Jack.â
Anna didnât shy away and greeted Jack directly, âItâs an honor to see Mr. Jack again...â
Jack lifted his glass and touched hers. They looked tacit, as if they had toasted a million times. If they hadnât been together for a long time, they wouldnât know each otherâs habits so well.
Serena seemed to understand. She looked away. Since they were so tacit, it wasnât hard for everyone to sense their relationship.
Being in the showbiz for many years, no one was stupid. On this occasion, they all kept alert.
If they couldnât sense Anna and Jackâs relationship, they didnât deserve to attend tonightâs party.
Rick immediately understood. He may have doubts about Jackâs being her agent. But now everything was clear, since Jack showed up at the party after Anna joined the Dahlia.
Jack was also telling all the attendees that Annaâs position wasnât as simple as it seemed.
They all reached an agreement to look after Anna, since they had become a family.
After chitchat, Jack discussed the following new advertisements with several movie superstars. Because of his decisive manner and unique vision, the movies created by the Dahlia were all blockbusters.
When opportunities came, a wise man wouldnât miss it.
Anna went back to Serena. Her former anxiety lessened because of Jackâs attendance.
It was enough to soothe her, if she could see him in the crowd.
However, Serena changed her expression slightly. She whispered, âIf you want to go further, donât publicize it.â
