Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Shedrick glimpsed at Chester in surprise.
However, all he saw was Chester taking out a cigarette from the cigarette packet and lighting it. From his
cold, exquisite brows, it was hard to tell what was on his mind.
“Okay.” Shedrick nodded.
Shortly after, a tall and slender figure walked in. She was wearing a pair of light blue wide -leg pants,
black canvas shoes, and a black T-shirt, which was so short that a large part of her slim and fair waist
was exposed. The curves from her waist to her hips could give any man the desire to take control of her.
On her head, she had milky brown hair and a white baseball cap over it. Beneath the cap was her pretty,
delicate bare face. She looked like she was born to live under the spotlight. She also had very fair skin
and a tall nose.
Her eyes, in particular, were dark, clear, and sharp. Upon a closer look, they exuded a hazy feeling that
made it hard for others to see through.
Her eyes first settled on Shedrick before they swept across to Chester. A calm look flashed across the
depths of her eyes.
However, just as Chester wanted to take a good look at her, he felt that it could be an illusion.
He took a lazy drag on his cigarette as he leaned on the couch. His gaze flashed with a hint of interest.
What an interesting woman!
It was very rare for a woman to remain calm upon seeing him.
If this was not her basic character, she must be putting on a front to attract his attention.
“Eliza, let me introduce you to him. This is Young Master Jewell…”
Shedrick raised his finger and pointed to Chester while speaking in a gentle tone.
He considered Eliza to be a promising artist.
Eliza stared intently at Chester with her dark eyes. There was barely any expression visible on her pretty
face. “Hi, Young Master Jewell.”
Chester raised his brows without uttering a word, as if he was absent-minded.
Upon noticing his silence, Eliza promptly averted her eyes and looked directly at Shedrick. “I heard Cindy
has been confirmed as the female lead of The Belle.”
Shedrick knew that she came here with a purpose, but he did not expect her to have the audacity to ask
about it in front of Chester. Hence, he nodded in astonishment. “Yes, it was Director Cheever’s decision.”
Eliza’s clear eyes were grim. “Really? I thought Miss Turner got the role because Chester pulled some
strings for her again. After all, Director
Cheever was more fond of me before. I also think my acting skills are much better than Cindy’s.”
Feeling awkward, Shedrick glanced nervously at Chester.
Although the man’s expression remained unchanged, the atmosphere seemed a little colder.
“Eliza, are you aware of what you just said in front of Young Master Jewell?” Shedrick reminded her.
Eliza simply glanced at Chester before asking with a hint of confusion in her dark eyes, “I was referring to
Chester, not Young Master Jewell. There are many other people with the last name Jewell anyway.”
Shedrick was speechless.
He was certain that Eliza did that on purpose.
