Chapter 1008 The Lunch
At the moment when Miguel and Michelle stood up excitedly, Besse looked up. With just one glance, she saw their eyes red with tears while they were looking at her. In that instant, the disappointment in their eyes was evident. She wasn't Hannah whom they were expecting.
How could there be so many miracles in this world?
Miguel and Michelle exchanged a glance and seemed to comfort each other.
"Miguel, Michelle!" Susan was more lively and easily able to lift the mood. She ran towards them enthusiastically and greeted them warmly, quickly soothing them.
Manuel wanted to stop Susan again when she was bouncing around, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Did you see Sal's performance just now? It was amazing!" Susan was very excited.
"Yeah, Sal is great." Miguel and Michelle quickly agreed.
Miguel couldn't help but cry during Salem's recitation, not to mention Michelle, who was more emotional.
"Sal you're so amazing!" Susan didn't forget to turn around and praise Salem.
Salem felt a little embarrassed by her direct praise. Una suddenly asked next to him, "Auntie Susan, am I not great enough?"
"You're so great too." Susan said and patted Una's head saying, "You look like a beautiful princess."
"Everyone says that," Una said happily as she blushed with compliments on her pretty face.
The atmosphere in the luxurious private room was very good. At that moment Salem couldn't help but glance at Besse. He had heard his father say that she would come to watch his recitation today. He wanted to get closer but since he felt shy, he hesitated for some time before taking action.
"Aren't we going to eat?" After chatting for a while, Susan asked Oscar.
Everyone had already sat down on the sofa in the private room without any food served yet.
"Just wait a bit, Theodore is on the way," Oscar replied calmly.
Susan thought about it for a moment then suggested, "Since everyone is gathered here today, why don't we call Little Bunny too?"
Everyone looked at her curiously, wondering what she meant by calling Little Bunny over.
"I messaged her yesterday. She's been filming in the Capital recently. Why don't we ask if she wants to come over?" Susan continued excitedly because she wanted to see Theodore's reaction when he saw Little Bunny.
Oscar nodded slightly without any objections or comments, while Manuel listened obediently as usual since he always followed whatever instructions were given by Susan anyway.
Besse couldn't help asking, "Who's Little Bunny?"
She directed this question towards Oscar, who remained silent until now. Oscar didn't expect Besse to initiate a conversation with him. He suppressed his excitement and explained in a low voice, "She's Theodore's wife."
"What?" Besse widened her eyes.
"No one else knows," Oscar replied, "just us few."
"They're good at pretending," Besse exclaimed.
"It's not pretending." Oscar said, "They're not getting along well. They only see each other once every year or so. They live their own lives."
"I see."
"Susan doesn't mind stirring up trouble," Oscar commented.
Besse couldn't help but laugh. But he was the one who had just nodded in agreement.
After making a call, Susan said cheerfully, "She said she's filming somewhere nearby and she can finish work early today, so she'll get here in 20 minutes." With that said Susan smiled slyly.
After finishing filming a scene, Little Bunny received Susan's call. She turned to her agent and assistant and said, "I'm going out for lunch with a friend." "Which friend?" the agent asked.
"Susan Johnson."
"Oh, Mrs Johnson." The agent quickly changed his expression. "It's good to socialize more outside of work too. You're always so focused on filming that you miss out on opportunities..." "Okay, I got it." Little Bunny was getting impatient.
Things hadn't been going smoothly for her lately. Some opportunities had been taken away by others even though they were originally hers. Although it was common in the entertainment industry for these things to happen, she still felt uneasy about it.
Her agent was even more unhappy about it and would occasionally complain about other artists attending certain events or making certain moves that boosted their popularity.
Little Bunny just wanted to focus on acting. She had worked hard like the others when she first returned to showbiz but realized that this wasn't the life she wanted.
Seeing that Little Bunny was getting impatient with him talking about other things, her agent changed the subject and said, "Last time when you were rumoured with Addison, both of your names trended together online, but Karami got attention quickly since she was accused of plagiarism. I just contacted Addison's agency again today, we are planning another couple rumour between you two."
"I refused."
"That's the only way. It's not like you're actually with him, it's just a show for the media. Aren't you usually in a movie? The same."
"I told you, I'm married. I'm not good at gossiping. If I get caught, I'll lose my career."
"Who are you married to?" asked the agent.
From the beginning, she thought Little Bunny was lying to him since she had never seen her husband. It seemed that that was an excuse to put her off.
Little Bunny couldn't tell anyone that her husband was Theodore Wold.
"Don't lie to me. I wasn't born yesterday." The agent said bluntly, "That's the decision of both agencies, not your own decision. Don't hold me back when the job is done."
She was unwilling to compromise but she couldn't resist the agent. She then turned to look out the window and said nothing.
She indeed admired Little Bunny after all these years; it was hard to replace another one in the entertainment industry as practical as she was. She liked Little Bunny and wanted to help her be more popular.
The agent sighed and said, "Little Bunny, to be honest, if you follow the rules in the circle, you are already at the top of them. How could you be defeated by those having no class?"
Little Bunny did not give any comments.
The agent said no more either, thinking that all she did was for Little Bunny's sake.
Soon, Little Bunny arrived at the hotel. She was completely covered up.
As she got out of the car, the agent reminded her, "Be careful. If you get caught, call me."
Little Bunny answered and left. She walked straight into the restaurant and got on an elevator. As she was about to press the button, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. "Hold on."
