Chapter 1228
Estelle suddenly clicked that Jonathan was a big-shot investor, the one who’d bought the rights to Mr. Tucker’s TV series. So, his showing up here wasnt weird at all.
It’s just that they hadn’t seen each other in a couple of weeks, and this sudden encounter caught her off guard.
“This is the Director Sun I was telling you about, Mr. Tucker introduced to Estelle.
Estelle snapped out of it and greeted Director Sun.
I’ve heard a lot about you, Ms. McClain. I hope we can work together sometime!” Director Sun, a skinny guy in his forties, looked at Estelle with a smile
Estelle smiled back, “Sure thing!”
“Everyone, please take a seat?”
Estelle and Mr. Tucker took the empty seats. The table could accommodate around thirty people, with Jonathan in the prime spot and Estelle sitting opposite him.
Looking around, Estelle noted around twenty people in the private dining room. Apart from Mr. Tucker and Director Sun, all were TV investors, dressed to the nines, looking sharp, and accompanied by beautiful women.
It seemed to be a business gathering. Although Estelle and Mr. Tucker were seated in unobtrusive spots, they still felt a bit out of place
After sitting down, Estelle found herself next to Mr. Tucker. She had assumed Director Sun would be on her other side to discuss movie stuff, but instead, a stranger was sitting there.
And Director Sun was two seats away.
Estelle figured Director Sun was supposed to sit there, so she didn’t think much of it.
The guy next to her, in his thirties, was wearing a light blue shirt and a million-dollar watch. He had chubby cheeks, faint eyebrows, and droopy eyes, and he smiled at Estelle. “Ms. McClain, what would you like to drink?”
Estelle was taken aback by his familiarity and realized she didn’t know him.
I just have some juice; I can get it myself; she reached for the juice bottle.
“Let me,” he snatched up the juice bottle, filled her glass, and looked at her warmly. Tm David, the CEO of Azure Silk. My dad’s on the board, so we’re kind of a family business.”
Estelle didn’t care what kind of business he was in, so she just gave him a glance and didn’t respond.
Across the table, Jonathan was being toasted constantly, his face as indifferent as ever. But every now and then, his gaze fell on Estelle, colder than usual.
David poured himself a drink and smiled at Estelle. T invested in this movie and specifically invited you to be the costume designer. I hope you’ll consider it. As for compensation, I promise you’ll be satisfied.”
Estelle smelled a rat and replied with a serious face, “Sorry, I don’t know you, so there’s no question of doing you any favors.”
David wasn’t offended; on the contrary, he smiled even more kindly, saying, T’ve seen Mr. Mayfield’s movies, and I admire your work. Don’t get me wrong, i just want the movie to be perfect.”
Estelle’s expression softened a bit. “Thank you”
“Let me toast to you first, bottoms up!” David said this and downed his drink.
Estelle looked at the juice in her glass and didn’t touch it.
Mr. Tucker had been watching the situation. After all, Estelle was his guest and quite a looker. He was used to these rich kids’ antics.
Seeing Estelle’s discomfort, Mr. Tucker handed her a cocktail and said, “David’s having a drink, you can’t just have juice, Estelle. But since you’re not much of a drinker, have this”
He placed the cocktail in front of her.
Estelle gave Mr. Tucker a grateful look, picked up the cocktail, and took a sip in response to David
Unfazed by Estelle’s wariness, David used the discussion about the movie to get close to her, showing off his expensive watch, Ferrari keys, and gold cufflinks every now and then.
