Chapter 840

“It’s best not to wear such high heels in the future, Ms. Isabella. You don’t want to trip and fall again, do you?” Ashlyn uttered before letting go of her suavely and turning to Greg. “Director Maxwell, are you okay?”

Upon hearing that, Greg was jolted out of his daze and glanced at the two women in front of him. “I’m okay. Please be more careful, Ms. Isabella.”

Isabella, on the other hand, couldn’t fathom why her heart wouldn’t stop racing.

Oh, gosh, what is this sensation? I must admit Ashlyn looked incredibly cool earlier! Compared to the pretty boys she usually acts alongside, she oozes a lot more charm. She’s the perfect boyfriend material, no doubt about it!

At that moment, Cindy walked toward Ashlyn, smiling as she opened her arms to offer a hug. “Ms.

Berry! What an absolute pleasure to see you here!”

Since she hadn’t seen Ashlyn for a long time, Cindy was both happy and excited at the unexpected reunion.

Naomi, however, was gritting her teeth.

What’s wrong with these two women? One fell into Ashlyn’s embrace while the other’s about to hug her! D*mn it. If this goes on, I might fall out of favor with her.

With that, Naomi hurriedly stepped in front of Ashlyn like a mother hen protecting her chicks. “Please mind yourself, Ms. Wynn!”

“Don’t be like that, Ms. Nolan. Ms. Berry and I are old friends!” Cindy grumbled, stamping her feet in disappointment.

Before long, the smile was back on her face as she walked past Naomi and held Ashlyn’s arm passionately.

“Ms. Berry, I’ve been getting lessons from acting coaches and even got nominated for Best Actress in a television series! I may not have won, but it’s still an affirmation of my acting craft, isn’t it?” Cindy said with much enthusiasm. “Ms. Berry, will you consider investing in a television series? Can you hire me for a small supporting role if you do? Whenever I think about working with you, I get so excited that my heart melts into a puddle!”

The next second, she cast a disdainful glance at Isabella. “I’m not like some actresses who have zero respect for others and even bullies Ms. Nolan. Don’t worry, Ms. Nolan, I’ll protect you in the future! As Nolan Entertainment artists, we must work together to bring the company to greater heights! If anyone attacks Ms. Nolan despite working for the company, don’t blame me for playing hardball!”

Upon hearing those pointed remarks, Isabella blanched with anger. She was Nolan Group’s A-list actress and had always been worried about Naomi stealing the limelight from her.

Moreover, Nolan Group had stopped promoting her, so her hatred toward Naomi became even more apparent.

Oh, dear, I’m not even as open-minded as Cindy, a B-list actress. But I’ve already told my manager to leak the news about Naomi being on good terms with the judges. What should I do now? Is it too late to take it back? Argh, I feel so dreadful! That said, Greg’s on a meteoric rise now, and he’s also the one who made Naomi famous. Maybe, just maybe, things might change if I get to act in one of his shows.

By then, Nessy had seen enough and knew she had to stand up for Isabella.

“Cindy, Isabella didn’t mean that. She’s actually very fond of Ms. Nolan and Mrs. Nolan. She may have caused some misunderstandings in the past, but that was because she didn’t know better then. In any case, we know we were wrong and do hope Ms. Nolan will forgive us.”

Although Nessy had apologized, her expression had nary an ounce of sincerity or repentance.

Terrified, Isabella quickly took a deep bow.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Nolan. I apologize for the mistakes I’ve made in the past. Director Maxwell, it was my fault for almost spilling wine on you. From now on, I’ll continue working hard to bring fame and glory to the Nolan Group. M-My only hope is that Mrs. Nolan won’t…”

Nessy froze.

What’s wrong with Isabella? Hasn’t she always been determined to destroy Naomi? Why has she become so meek and desperate?
