Rick had been waiting for Anna at the gate. After all, she hadn’t been here before. Rick led the way in
person, afraid that she would feel embarrassed.
Gorgeous European palace-style decorations were displayed in the corridor. Surrounded by classical
music, Anna felt like she as in a palace.
Anna took a careful glance. The attendees tonight were not only pop stars but also movie superstars,
even Serena, the well-known Asian advertising queen who she met several times.
Anna sat at the bar, drinking champagne alone. The lavender long dress reinforced her elegance and
over-worldly beauty.
Rick introduced her to a movie superstar, “Hugo, this is our new actress, Anna.”
Though she wasn’t a professional movie actress, Anna knew his status in the film industry very well. A
decade ago, he had established a firm foothold in Hollywood, shooting in many action movies. The
achievement he made today was equal to that others struggled for all their life.
Anna smiled elegantly and addressed him politely, “Mr. Hugo…”
“Nice to meet you. I’m looking forward to our cooperation.”
“My pleasure.”
“Is Anna here?” The rest of them noticed their presence and walked over to greet them with
champagne. Rick was introducing with a smile and hoped Anna could fit in as soon as possible.
After the introduction, Anna chose to sit next to Serena.
They were once compared by the media. However, Serena was a child star and acted with international
superstars at a very young age. Her strength couldn’t be underestimated.
Serena looked around at Anna with a smile. “How is it? Do you get used to it?”
“Not bad…”
“You’ll feel better soon. The Dahlia is a unique place where all kinds of talents gather together.” Serena
took a sip. Cupping her chin, she asked, “Where is your agent? Didn’t he come with you?”
“I haven’t seen my agent yet,” Anna told the truth.
“I heard that you’re going to shoot an ad in France. It’s a famous brand in that local area. Many artists
even fought for it, even those from the Ole.” Serena paused and added, “I remember you didn’t work
well with them before you retired. You’ll meet them on various occasions in the future. Be careful.”
Anna looked at her face and nodded.
“You must be familiar with infighting for resources. But the Dahlia is different. You’ll know. Of course, it
also depends on the strength of your agent and your rapport.”
Anna knew it depended on the strength and sometimes on backgrounds. The higher level the resource
was, the more intense the competition was.
But she didn’t know who her agent was. She couldn’t draw any conclusions.
Anna had a free and comfortable talk with Serena. They reached the same view on many things. Rick
walked past them and said mysteriously, “Actually, our CEO will be here tonight.”
Everyone beamed with surprise, and some even applauded with excitement.
As the CEO of the Dahlia, Jack had an exclusive elevator. Besides, he rarely showed up. Therefore, for
all of them, Jack was like a mysterious emperor, more brilliant than any superstars.
Serena sensed Anna’s uniquely natural and sweet smile. Even Hugo, a movie superstar, was ecstatic
about Jack’s arrival. But Anna didn’t have any emotional fluctuation.
“Do you know Mr. Jack well?”
“Yeah, sort of.” Anna was frank.
“Mr. Jack seldom attends this kind of activity in the company. It’s better to say that he yearns for an
ordinary life, rather than a mysterious man. He doesn’t look like an insider.” Serena smiled meaningfully
and drank her champagne.
Anna studied Serena, feeling Serena was familiar, and their dispositions were quite close. Probably,
she didn’t have to be alert.
A few minutes later, there were discussions and cheers in the hall. Anna watched Jack entering the
door slowly. His handsome and tall figure made everyone’s heart thump.
Jack wore this woolen coat when he went for work in the morning. Probably because of the alcohol,
Anna was desperate to rush over and embrace him. She would recall what he looked like at home
unconsciously.
Jack greeted the artists one by one.
When he looked into her eyes, Jack’s eyes turned scorching hot. He understood her expression and
narrowed his eyes slightly, suggesting that she drink less. At the same time, he also tried hard not to
approach her.
Anna raised her glass and nodded.
“Anna, come here…” Rick noticed Anna was standing still not far away and called her.
“Toast to Mr. Jack.”
Anna didn’t shy away and greeted Jack directly, “It’s an honor to see Mr. Jack again…”
Jack lifted his glass and touched hers. They looked tacit, as if they had toasted a million times. If they
hadn’t been together for a long time, they wouldn’t know each other’s habits so well.
Serena seemed to understand. She looked away. Since they were so tacit, it wasn’t hard for everyone
to sense their relationship.
Being in the showbiz for many years, no one was stupid. On this occasion, they all kept alert.
If they couldn’t sense Anna and Jack’s relationship, they didn’t deserve to attend tonight’s party.
Rick immediately understood. He may have doubts about Jack’s being her agent. But now everything
was clear, since Jack showed up at the party after Anna joined the Dahlia.
Jack was also telling all the attendees that Anna’s position wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
They all reached an agreement to look after Anna, since they had become a family.
After chitchat, Jack discussed the following new advertisements with several movie superstars.
Because of his decisive manner and unique vision, the movies created by the Dahlia were all
blockbusters.
When opportunities came, a wise man wouldn’t miss it.
Anna went back to Serena. Her former anxiety lessened because of Jack’s attendance.
It was enough to soothe her, if she could see him in the crowd.
However, Serena changed her expression slightly. She whispered, “If you want to go further, don’t
publicize it.”
