Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 540 - 540: She’s The Woman Who Saved Him

"Hmm. Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Dylan looked doubtful at Curtis, wondering why he suddenly mentioned it.

"Actually, I saw that girl that night."

"You saw her?" Dylan's eyes glowed.

Curtis nodded. He thought carefully before replying, "when the backyard caught fire that night, I was so anxious to know you were in the pavilion. Flames and smoke billowed everywhere. When I rushed there, I saw a small figure pulling you towards a safer place. It was a girl, a few years younger than you. She wrapped her coat over you, probably to protect you from being hurt by the fire. Just then, I heard the voice of some servants. Maybe she didn't want to be seen, she picked up her coat and hurried left through the back door."

The pupils of Dylan's eyes contracted.

So, Curtis was the only person who saw the girl.

"Did you see her clearly?" He was so nervous that his palms were all cold and sweating.

"Yes," Curtis nodded with certainty, "I was standing in the bushes behind the girl, within a meter of her... Even though I could hardly open my eyes in the heavy smoke, I saw her clearly."

There was a pause before he continued, "I just happened to see a picture of Miss Schultz on Kaiden's phone. She looks very like that girl... I'm sure Miss Schultz is that girl!"

"That girl was only a teenager at that time. Are you sure they are the same person?" Dylan's face changed.

"I'm sure." Curtis nodded affirmatively. "I have a good memory. Although the girl was only in her teens at that time, her facial features were exactly the same as Miss Schultz's. She didn't change much. Even the little red mole near her ear was exactly the same."

Dylan's clenched fist slowly unclenched.

The little woman was not lying this time.

The girl he had been searching for was really her.

He was unable to speak for a long time.

Studio 3.

Savannah was holding a cup of coffee, facing Chris.

In this scene, Angelina, the role Savannah played, seduced the hero in the company's tea room but was rejected.

After a few days of acting in the play, Savannah had already got the hang of it.

It turned out that acting wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard as she had expected.

Nothing was impossible if you were willing to work hard at it.

It took her a few days to memorize her lines and understand Angelina's personality.

Angelina had been the chief designer in the company, strong-minded and aggressive, and always desired to excel over others in any way. But she lost the glory because of the arrival of the heroine.

Angelina came to despise the heroine and began to rob everything from her, including the hero who liked the heroine.

Instead of saying that Angelina liked the hero, maybe we'd better say she just liked the taste of victory.

In front of the camera, Savannah looked fascinating and charming in a hip-length tight dress, her long wavy wig falling around her shoulder. With a cup of cappuccino in her hand, she nestled up against Chris, looking at him with her beautiful eyes fervently.

Compared with a sexual invitation, Savannah thought that such a seemingly insignificant movement and gesture could better show Angelina's arrogant and undefeated character. She had acted in front of the mirror at home many times and knew well how to make herself dangerously seductive in every move and every act.

The coffee in her hand also smelled intoxicating.

Chris grabbed her by the waist and whispered, "trying to seduce me? You're sure to fail."

"Really? Well, we'll see." A charming smile played on Savannah's red lips.

"Cut!"The director shouted and laughed, "good! Very good! Chris, Savannah, you're well-coordinated now."

He was very worried when Chris recommended Savannah to replace Sandy to play the role of Angelina.

Now he could breathe with relief.

Although Savannah was only a fashion designer, she was said to be a still model before, and she had a good performance in front of the camera.

After a few scenes, he found that her acting was even better than some actresses who had good appearance only.

The director could even conclude that Angelina, played by Savannah, would be a hit after Fashion Queen aired.

Hearing the director's words, Savannah stepped back and smiled politely. "Thanks to Chris, he's good at acting and taught me a lot."

"You should also owe your good performance to your talent and hard work." Chris shrugged his shoulders with his usual charming smile. He took two bottles of water from his assistant and handed one to Savannah.

Savannah took the water and thanked him.

At the same time, a black SUV parked quietly not far from the studio. Many superstars would come and go in luxury cars, so the expensive black SUV didn't attract any attention.

The window of the car was half opened, shooting a cold luster.

In the driver's seat, Garwood also saw the scene in the studio. He swallowed quietly and took a glance at Dylan in the back seat, who had just returned from Chicago two days earlier.

"I've inquired. It's said that Sandy Winfrey, who played a supporting role in Fashion Queen, acted as a poster and annoyed Chris Pattinson. So Chris suggested the director replace her with Miss Schultz. Miss Schultz has been acting in the play with Chis in Fashion Queen for a few days. Um, they seem to have great chemistry now."

Dylan's eyes darkened.

It was 3 pm when Savannah finished her last scene of the day.

She had just stepped out of the studio when a bright yellow sports car creaked to a halt in front of her.

In the driver's seat, Chris, wearing a pair of dark green sunglasses, smiled brightly at her, eliciting low screaming from the nearby crew members, who had just finished work.

"Would you like me to give you a ride?" Chris asked gently.

"Thank you, Chris. But I don't want to make the entertainment headlines tomorrow and be cursed by your fans." Savannah shook her head with a laugh.

An a-list famous star like Chris was a prime target for all kinds of paparazzi.

If she was caught in his car, she might become his gossip girl—that was not funny.
