Chapter 2182
That was what Alma wanted.
She wanted everyone here to know about her relationship with Hendrick. These years, because of her relationship with him, no matter where she went, others would give her face. Moreover, she also knew how he felt about her.
Over the years, she had been very close to him, but as long as she had something to do, as long as she called him, he would immediately come back to the country to accompany her. Previously, she accidentally broke her hand during filming. The next day, he came back from abroad to accompany her.
He was very gentle to her, and she also enjoyed all the benefits he brought to her.
Thinking of what had happened to Alice, Hendrick did not answer for a moment.
"Hendrick, why aren't you saying anything? What do you want to eat?" Alma smiled and poked his arm gently.
He came back to her senses and looked at her with a faint smile. "It's okay. Let's go downstairs and eat something. There's no work these days, so I don't want to go anywhere else." "Okay, let's go eat some fish."
He smiled. Looking at her sweet smile, he cheered up. "Okay!"
He didn't know why he was so distracted that day. Anyway, he was in a very bad mood. Usually, he would be in a good mood when he saw Alma, but that day he didn't even bother to be perfunctory. "Alma, you go ahead first. We'll get together when we have dinner later." He really didn't have any thoughts. He just didn't know what to feel in his heart.
What was the loss? Anyway, he was very uncomfortable.
"Okay, Hendrick, I'll call you later. You don't look well. Did you not have a good rest last night?" She looked at him with concern.
Moreover, it felt like he was absent-minded that day. When he was with her, he had always been very careful.
He nodded with a smile and replied, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night. I'll go to the office to rest for a while, and I'll go to see the director later." There was something that he needed to clarify. Why did the Clarke family participate in this investment?
"Okay!" Alma nodded gently and walked to her lounge.
She had signed a contract with Mirth Company now, and she was the main character this time. As such, she had her own private lounge.
After working hard for so many years, she finally succeeded. In the near future, she would get the position of Second Young Madam of the Alwynn family.
She raised the corner of her mouth, and her sweet smile was replaced by an ambitious look.
Hendrick watched her walk away and then turned to look for the director.
The director was Dwayne Kline, the top director who had been ranked first in the box office in the past two years.
He was in his early forties, and he was handsome and upright. He never had any hidden rules, and it was also because Mirth Company had a good working environment that he was willing to stay here. Hendrick arrived at Dwayne's office. Dwayne was on the phone when he saw Hendrick. After exchanging a few polite words with the person on the other end of the call, he hung up the phone. "Hendrick, why are you here?" Dwayne smiled politely.
Hendrick's lips curled into a smile. "I wanted to ask you about something. Do you have time?"
"Yes, take a seat!"
They sat down on the sofa not far away.
Dwayne asked, "Do you want coffee?"
Hendrick replied, "No need. I'll be fine in a while."
Alice, who was looking for the director with the script, suddenly stopped when she heard Hendrick's voice.
"Dwayne, I just want to know one thing. Why did Mr. Klein of Lemmon City suddenly invest in this play? And why did his daughter come here to be a screenwriter?"
Hearing this, Alice seemed to know what Hendrick was worried about.
Dwayne smiled and said, "Hendrick, we're quite lucky this time. Mr. Skye has been preparing for this movie and is also willing to cooperate with them to invest. As for me, I know Mr. Klein personally. When I called him a few days ago, I casually mentioned the investment and he agreed."
"Regarding Alice, she has been quite famous in recent years. The TV series that she cooperated on before was also very popular. I asked her in person, and the company also voted for her."
"Later, I learned that she was Mr. Klein's daughter."
"Hendrick, do you have any other matters?" Dwayne asked with a smile.
Hendrick pursed her lips and said with a smile, "No more."
Knock, Knock, Knock...
"Come in." Dwayne looked at the door.
Alice pushed the door open and walked in.
She was tall and wore a beige suit. Her long hair was draped gently over her shoulders, making her look elegant. She smiled, and the corners of her eyes were raised, which made her smile even more sweet. "Mr. Kline"
"Oh, Alice, you're here." Dwayne smiled. He was surprised that Bert's daughter could do such a good job.
"Yes, Mr. Kline. Take a look first. This is the first script. If it doesn't work, let's discuss it." Alice handed the script to him and then looked at Hendrick. "Mr. Kline, you have a guest, so I'll come over later." "Okay!"
Alice left with a smile and kept her smile up from beginning to end.
She had once dared to love him, but now, she could give up bravely.
Alice, this is the real you. Shouldn't love be like this? When you love someone, you will be filled with happiness.
However, if he decided not to love her, she would let go of him happily. This was the real Alice.
Hendrick looked at Alice's back with a piercing pain in his eyes. Seven years ago, she had pestered him and suddenly stopped at the age of eighteen, which was the night seven years later.
At that time, he was secretly glad that he finally did not have to reply to her messages everyday.
However, he was not used to it. Only then did he realize that it was because of a lack of concern from her.
That night, he didn't know that the woman had been Alice, so he said those words.
Thinking of this, he was stunned. How could he have such an idea?
He didn't know how he got back to his office. Alice pretended not to know her. Shouldn't he be happy?
Why was he in a mood of worrying about gains and losses?
He liked Alma, the lovely and gentle girl.
The blue sky was like a sea, with no clouds for thousands of miles, and the weather was very good.
Hendrick and Alma walked to the elevator together and went downstairs to have a meal.
It was lunchtime. The people in the company also went out for lunch one after another.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Alice and Brenden were also inside.
"Haha... Brenden, you're so funny. Why didn't I notice before that you're so funny?" Alice's joyful voice reached Hendrick's ears.
He frowned slightly and didn't want to take the elevator, but Alma had already walked in.
He could only follow her in.
Alice took a few steps back as if she didn't see him. She stood very close to Brenden.
