Chapter 217
Very soon, Producer Yoder locked his sight on Cece.
He took a glass of wine and passed it to Cece. Smiling, he said, âI like the designs youâve come up
with. Iâll be having another movie title after this one, so we can work together on that, too. Come, letâs
raise a toast to celebrate working together successfully this time!â
Cece, ever young and naive, gleefully extended her hand to accept the glass of wine Producer Yoder
passed to her.
However, Producer Yoder suddenly grabbed Ceceâs hand and rubbed it back and forth. â Miss Lynn, I
guarantee fame and fortune for you both if you work with me.â
Vicky and Cece were only dealing with women in the market. Thus, they rarely had to deal with a male
customer. She had met many annoying female customers, but she never met a male customer who
dared to do anything to her.
Panicking, Ceceâs instincts kicked in. She tried to break away from Producer Yoderâs hand, but he
grabbed her hand so tightly that she could not break away.
He even took the chance to pull her into his arms, and the stench of alcohol from his mouth fanned her
face.
âThereâs more to come if you follow me.â
Cece had never experienced this situation before. After nearly being assaulted by the rich kid when she
attended a party with Vicky weeks ago, she could not stand another rehash.
Producer Yoderâs disgusted face truly annoyed and disgusted her stomach. Her instinct kicked in as
she raised her hand and gave him a slap. Slap!
It was a crisp sound, but it was not too loud as the room was very noisy. Therefore, it did not attract too
many peopleâs attention.
Producer Yoder, who had too much to drink, was infuriated. He was a big shot in the entertainment
industry, and even when a few women denied him, they did not dare to slap him.
âB*tch! How dare you slap me? You must be out of your mind!â
With the influence of rage, he pulled Ceceâs hair and dragged her to where Director Lumber was.
Although he had drunk quite a lot, he had not lost his mind yet. He knew Tyler was here, and it was not
a wise move to make a scene to cause trouble and made Tyler unhappy.
Still, he was not about to easily let go of the woman that had crossed him.
He pulled Cece to where Director Lumber was and rambled, âLumber, the designer you recommend is
just so-so, but she definitely isnât afraid to show herself.â
Director Lumber was talking with the other director about the movie. He was stunned when he heard
what Producer Yoder said. âWhat happened?â
Producer Yoder said angrily, âI was a little drunk and accidentally touched her. Then this idiot girl
thought I was trying to take advantage of her and slapped me in the face!â
Director Lumber knew what kind of person Producer Yoder was. Although Producer Yoder was a lustful
person, he knew how to examine the situation. If the woman was not unwilling, he would not force her.
Normally, if Cece was unwilling, she could just try to break away and say something polite to reject the
man, and that would have been the end of that.
However, Cece lacked the experience. Her situation merely worsened after she slapped Producer
Yoder.
Although Director Lumber admired Vicky and Ceceâs work, he was still in the system. He could not
afford to offend Producer Yoder because of them.
Producer Yoder had been in the industry for many years. He had the connections and the resources.
Offending him was not a good choice.
While Director Lumber was thinking about what to do, Vicky finished her call. She noticed something
was happening and strode over.
âCece, did anything happen?â she asked.
Producer Yoder said coldly, âMiss Shaw, this little girl you brought with you slapped me in the face
without any reason. So â¦what are you going to do about that?â
