Nathan jumped at the mention of ‘Nicole Pileggi’. Frowning, he gave Finn a questioning look about this.Finn was surprised too. He shook his head, indicating that he had no idea what was going on.Nathan went over and asked Mr. Landers, “What’s going on? What has this got to do with Nicole?”Mr. Landers was taken aback to see Nathan there. He immediately recognized him.He was Nicole Pileggi’s fiancé!Mr. Landers did not dare offend him and quickly replied, “Miss Pileggi was supposed to have a bathtub scene last night, and she requested rose petals. I came here to order a bunch of flowers because of that. "Who knew that she would flare up into a temper and insist on not going through with the shoot? All the flowers were wasted, and I was told by the production team this morning that they weren’t willing to pay so much. My hands are tied…”The look in Nathan’s eyes darkened. He was not happy about this.Nicole Pileggi looked like a good woman on the surface, but she was capable
As they were conversing, Mr. Landers had returned from making the call.His attitude was quite respectful when he spoke to Mason. “Please wait for a bit, Mr. Young. Mr. Goldman says he'll be here soon.”Mason nodded coldly.Even though Eva was furious, she did not unleash her temper on Mr. Landers but waited patiently.She turned around, only to see Nathan and Finn still here.Eva was taken aback but realized she was the one who had forgotten about them. She felt embarrassed as she said, “Is there… anything else I can help you two with?”Finn was caught by surprise. He was about to say there was nothing else when Nathan spoke up. “I’d like to see if there are any other flowers I can use for medicinal purposes. If you have time, please recommend some flowers to me.”Eva agreed readily, “Of course, I have time. Follow me.”Nodding slightly, Nathan followed behind Eva.They walked around the shop, and Eva would stop at every flower that had beneficial medicinal purposes.Nathan
Mason’s eyes narrowed, and there was a dangerous look on his face. “Are you sure this is your final decision? If it is, I don’t mind settling this with the law.”“Oh, trying to intimidate by using the law, aren’t you? Do you think I scare easily? You should really do some homework on me. Do you really think your scare tactics would work on me? This is my final decision. As for you, go ahead if you want to take me to court. I’m not paying.”Stanley was extremely arrogant with his reply. The smile on his face was asking for a punch.Mr. Landers was silently anxious when he saw this.Did Stanley Goldman know who Mason Young was?!How could Stanley be so arrogant in front of him?Mason could bury him deep into the ground!Mr. Landers felt responsible for dropping Stanley a hint. “Mr. Goldman, it’s just a matter of a few thousand dollars, right? Why not pay them and we can leave?”He was trying to help Stanley out of goodwill.However, Stanley was not buying it. He immediately shou
Mason was yanked back violently by Eva, which surprised him slightly.However, his rage vanished completely after a while. He was filled with delight instead.She… She was worried for him!Eva did not notice the change in Mason’s expression. She was busy looking at Stanley with disgust.Stanley was used to being heaped with praises. He had never been scolded by anyone, much less be called disgusting.His face fell, and there was a violent look in his eye. He shouted, “How dare you say my production team is disgusting, you bitch?! Very well, then! Looks like your flower shop is asking for it! Four of you, thrash this place!”“Yes, Mr. Goldman!”The four bodyguards immediately began thrashing the place.However, right before they were about to take action, a commanding yet casual tone spoke up in the shop. “Who here is brave enough to thrash this place?”A man slowly emerged from the flowers surrounding them. He had a handsome face that was more attractive than any flower.His
Mason was a little unhappy when he saw this. He said coldly, “You don’t need to be too grateful to him, Eva. I could've settled this. That was an unnecessary move.”Eva looked at Mason in surprise, finding it a little strange.Why did Mason sound a little angry?Nathan could sense the animosity coming from Mason. He raised an eyebrow slightly and sniggered before looking away. He said to Eva, “I need to trouble you to deliver these flowers to the hotel later, Miss Lane.”“Sure. No problem,” Eva agreed readily.After that, she saw Nathan and Finn out.The shop was now left with Eva, Mason, Stanley, and Mr. Landers.Mason looked upset as he said sternly, “Aren’t you supposed to get out?”Stanley was slightly shocked to see the man in front of him suddenly acting so differently. Mason had the same commanding presence as Nathan did.It was then that Mr. Landers handed a name card to him and whispered, “Mr. Goldman, this gentleman is… Mason Young.”Stanley was genuinely shocked to
That very night, Stay with Me was officially shut down.The crew prepared to leave.Mr. Landers was also busy cleaning up.When Nicole arrived to see the chaotic scene in front of her, she asked sharply, “What’s going on?”Everyone ignored her.Many of the crew members had suffered her wrath during the shoot. Now that production was shut down, no one wanted to bother themselves with her.Nicole’s expression contorted with anger when she found herself being ignored.Mr. Landers happened to pass by, and she immediately grabbed his arm to ask, “What are all of you doing? Do you want to get fired?”He looked at her with contempt. “There's no work for us here even if we want to continue working. That includes you, my dear Miss Pileggi.”With that, he flung Nicole’s hand off him and went toward the front to queue. He would be taking his last pay.Nicole stood where she was, dumbfounded. She could not understand what was going on.Amy managed to obtain some news and came reporting
The shop’s employee immediately tried to market the dress with a smile, “Miss, 8,000 in this shopping mall isn't considered expensive. Besides, this design suits you very well. I think you should buy it.”Lucy began talking her into it as well. “That’s right, Eva. It’s not often you’re out shopping. You should buy this dress. I can buy it for you as a present if you can’t afford it.”Eva immediately shook her head when she heard this. “How can I allow you to pay for the dress? It’s fine. I won’t be buying it.”With that, she went into the changing room to change out of it.Lucy stood where she was with a slightly embarrassed look on her face. There was a look of contempt in her eyes.What a cheapskate!However, she quickly hid her thoughts and went to make payment for her purchase.A few minutes later, Lucy left with Eva with several shopping bags in her hands.They continued shopping along with the kids.This time, they stopped at a store that specialized in children’s shoes.
Mia blinked and nodded her little head. She replied in her baby-ish voice, “Max went to get a balloon from Mr. Clown, Mommy. He’s over there.”Her little fair, tender hand reached out to point at where Max had gone.Eva immediately went to take a look, but there was no sign of the clown Mia had mentioned.Lucy had a slight impression of him. “There was someone in a clown suit there giving out toys when we were walking past. But that clown has disappeared.”Eva was panicking and her eyes were almost red.Her kids were her life.If anything happened to them, she would never forgive herself.Lucy began to panic as well.After all, she was the one who lost Max. She looked around and noticed the passage by the stairs. She quickly said, “Could he have run this way? Look, a few balloons were dropped around here.”Eva glanced over and saw them as well.She said to Lucy, “Can you wait here for Max? There's a chance he might have gone somewhere and will be back later. I’ll take a look
