“I’m off, guys. Keep up the good work and keep making that dough!” Norah waved with a smile, “See ya!” Damian and Zachary along with others saw her off, they didn’t head back until they saw her get in the cab. Once back, Damian went upstairs, poured a cup of water for Xavier, and cheerfully announced, “Norah’s gone!”
“I know.” Xavier responded blandly, his eyes glued to his phone.
“Norah is such a sweetheart, she even made a special trip to see us!”
Xavier furrowed his brows, “Special trip? Wasn’t she hanging out with her friends around here?”
“No way!” Damian looked puzzled. “I just saw her hail a cab all by herself. She must’ve come here specifically; no one else was with her.”
Xavier’s eyes turned cold, he replied flatly, “Next time Norah comes, don’t let her come up alone.”
Damian laughed it off, “Boss, you’re being overly cautious, aren’t you? You’re a big guy, afraid of a little girl taking advantage of you?”
Before he could finish, Xavier shot him a cold glance. Damian quickly shut up and changed the subject, “Alright, got it!”
Later that night, Yvonne got home from shooting at around ten. After dismissing her assistant, she went to the window and dialed Josiah, “Josiah, did you find the person I asked you to look for?”
Josiah chuckled, “Yvonne, you should know by now that I’m reliable. I’ve found the person, they’ll be in J City by tomorrow.”
“Great, thanks a lot, Josiah!”
Josiah replied with a laugh, “I’ll give you a call once they arrive.”
“Alright, thanks for your hard work!”
After hanging up, Yvonne looked out the window into the pitch–dark night and couldn’t help but smirk.
Before the wrap–up of the movie, Mr. Mayfield again hosted a dinner for the cast and crew at the 9th Mansion. This time Yvonne also attended; she was seated at a table with Mr. Mayfield and a few producers.
During dinner, Gwen casually asked Estelle, “Estelle, how come President Lamont hasn’t been picking you up these days?
Estelle smiled and replied, “He’s been busy.”
“Really?” Gwen leaned in closer, probing, “You guys didn’t have a fight, did you?”
Estelle glanced at her, “Why do you ask?“.”
Gwen was startled by Estelle’s question, she stuttered a laugh and replied, “I was just worried. President Lamont used to pick you up every day, but he hasn’t for the past few days. I thought you guys might’ve had a fight!”
Estelle looked down and said, “No!”
They hadn’t really fought, had they? The man had been a bit off for two days after that incident, but he came home early last night and even went out for dinner with her. They were as affectionate as ever when they got back. So, she felt that unpleasant incident was now in the past.
“That’s a relief!” Gwen said with a smile.
Halfway through dinner, Gwen went to the restroom and ran into Yvonne, who was touching up her makeup.
After exchanging greetings, Gwen washed her hands.
Yvonne gave a warm smile and said, “Mr. Powell said your audition was really good, you’ll probably be confirmed for the role in the next few days.
“Really?” Gwen looked surprised, “Thanks, Yvonne!”
“No need to thank me.” Yvonne replied with a practiced smile.
She took out her lipstick and started applying it casually asking, “So, how are things between Estelle and Mr. Lamont?”
