Chapter 359

An old man’s kind face popped up in her head as he uttered his dying wish, “Ashlyn, please take care of both of them.”

She agreed and had been doing her best to fulfil her promise back then.

Ashlyn wasn’t someone who was ungrateful.

“Read the script and contact me if you’re interested in shooting it.” Ashlyn whipped out a name card and placed it on his table.

Then, she turned to leave.

After walking out of the slum, Ashlyn was surprised when she saw Lucas waiting for her.

It was rare for a luxurious car to appear in the slum, so the occupants who walked in and out stared at his Bentley strangely.

Ashlyn asked, “Why are you still here?”

“I wanted to wait for you as I was worried.” Lucas replied. The car door clicked open as he pulled Ashlyn in.

As Ashlyn fell onto his lap, she felt her heart skipped a beat.

Her cheeks burned in embarrassment.

“Did you find the person you came here for?”

“Mm,” Ashlyn nodded.

“Who is that person? Does he or she live here?” Lucas wanted to know everything about Ashlyn.

Ashlyn looked at him strangely. He wasn’t usually this busybody.

However, she wasn’t about to lie to him as he’d find out about this sooner or later.

“I’m going to make a movie with Jonathan Quickton as the male lead.”

“Jonathan Quickton?” Lucas clenched his teeth abruptly.

His expression gradually turned icy as a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes. A smirk played on his lips as he uttered in his low voice, “Is he good at acting? I don’t think so.”

Spencer was speechless when he heard his boss’ words while driving.

Mr. Nolan, how can you criticize your artiste that way?

Actually, Jonathan was a qualified idol who could dance and sing well.

However, he was a new actor in the film industry.

It would be an honor for him to be the main lead for a movie, but Lucas seemed disgusted by her offer.

Spencer felt sorry for Jonathan.

“He can improve eventually. Besides, my script is about an idol’s life. He is one, right? No one can play the role better than him.” Ashlyn couldn’t stop talking about work.

Her strikingly beautiful face lit up as she rambled on.

Nevertheless, Lucas flew into a fit of rage upon hearing how much she wanted Jonathan to take this role.

“I’m his boss, so I’ll reject the role on his behalf.”

“Your rejection is useless. I’ve already discussed this with his manager. We’re signing the contract this afternoon.”

Ashlyn was upset by how the man wanted to stop her from developing her career.

Her face darkened as she glared at Lucas sharply. “Lucas Nolan, don’t test my patience. Do you still want dinner?”

Lucas fell silent at her words.

Did she just threaten me with dinner just for that Jonathan?

His heart sank in jealousy and despair as his gaze turned menacing. “He has nothing but looks. Yes, he’s quite good-looking. Is that why you’re attracted to him?”

Ashlyn couldn’t be bothered to explain. She was better off speaking to a wall!

Good-looking? Attracted to him? What the heck is he talking about?

“Yes, he’s hot and young. He is adored by many female fans.”

“So you adore him too?” Lucas was overwhelmed with jealousy.

“Who would say no to a hot young man? Don’t you like looking at pretty girls?” Ashlyn thought their conversation was going nowhere.

What has this got to do with Jonathan taking the lead role? She thought angrily.

Suddenly, Lucas reached out and held her chin. He leaned closer and whispered sexily in her ear, “I don’t like pretty girls. I only like you.”

Ashlyn’s hand went to her heart the moment her eyes widened in disbelief.

Did he just…flirt with me?

Did Lucas Nolan just flirt with me?

The man gazed at her affectionately and brushed his finger across her perky nose. “What’s wrong?

Say something?”
