The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2564 Act as an Acquaintance

Selena nodded.

She did not laugh. After all, it was better to be restrained in this situation.

Ivan stretched out his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ms. Nelson, you're indeed beautiful. You're even prettier in person. I have seen the movie that you made an appearance in and thought that you were the most outstanding person in it. Ms. Nelson, you're a natural-born actress! I want to start my own film company, so why don't you join my company? I'll let you be the female lead in every movie."

Selena laughed. The smile on her face deepened and reached her eyes.

She shook Ivan's hand politely and immediately let go.

If she joined his company, she was afraid that she would be exploited.

Selena smiled and declined. "No, thanks. I'm not interested in acting."

Ivan did not conceal his admiration for her. His eyes were bright and he stood by her side, unwilling to give up. He continued to speak.

"Acting is a good career. You'll make a lot of money! Don't you like this kind of lifestyle? After you have acted in a few films, you can win awards and be a qualified actress!"

Selena's eyes were bright and she could not help but chuckle with her head lowered.

"No, thanks. I'm really not interested."

It turned out that the reason Ivan bought the Best Actor Award was that he wanted to be a qualified actor.

Selena was a little dumbfounded.

Just as they were talking, the sound of high heels gradually approached.

"Ivan."

Ivan turned around, smiled, and patted Selena's shoulder as if they were close to each other.

"Ms. Nelson, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Lara."

Selena turned her head lazily, took a glance, and looked away again.

She did not greet Lara.

It was a bit strange to see Ivan and Lara on this cruise ship.

Selena thought that this was a business party, but perhaps Lara and Ivan tagged along with another bigwig.

After all, she also came here with Eric.

It was probably not that difficult to attend this party.

Ivan paused, then smiled and said, "I know you girls have a bit of a misunderstanding. Lara specially came here to replace a chance to reconcile with you. It's better to settle your grudge than to hold on to it. It's not a big deal, anyway. Why don't you two take this opportunity to talk about it?"

Selena could not help but yawn. She covered her mouth with her slender fingers and looked languid yet beautiful.

Her rejection was evident.

Ivan also pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

He said so much, and his patience was wearing out.

Selena was so stubborn that she did not listen to what he said.

Lara took a step forward, smiled gently, and tried to make this matter seem insignificant.

"Ms. Nelson, it was my fault. My sister left the set on the same day. Mr. Griffin was furious and thought that I implicated the entire cast. It's understandable that you're mad at me. But please don't implicate the others. They are all innocent and just want to make a living."

Selena brushed her hair and turned around. The corners of her lips curled up, and her tone was dull.

"Lara, I don't understand what you're talking about. What happened to the cast? You kicked me out of the set, so why are you looking for me when something goes wrong?"

Selena stood there innocently and tilted her head.

The bright moonlight shone on her body and coated her skin like a layer of silver dust. Her skin was fair and lustrous, very much like the moonlight reflected on the sea. She looked at Lara blankly and deliberately pretended not to understand what Lara was saying.

Lara thought that she could get a third-rate actor to strike up a conversation with Selena, get to know her first, and then act as a mediator between them.

Could this matter be brushed off so easily?

What a low-level and naive move.

Selena was not a clueless girl who would get flustered in the face of a handsome man when he complimented her.

Lara's face froze slightly.

She quickly lowered her eyes to hide her impatience and forbearance.

No matter how difficult Selena tried to be, Lara had to hold back.

Otherwise, her career would really be ruined.

"I know that you're still mad at me, Ms. Nelson. I didn't mean to take that cameo role from you. I wanted to make it up to you later, but it's a pity you didn't give me this chance."

Selena sneered, turned around to face the sea, and said nothing.

The sea was also pitch black at night.

The lights on the cruise ship were bright and shimmered on the sea like little floating diamonds.

Selena flashed a pure and beautiful smile. Her facial features were exquisite, and her outlines were smooth. Her eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were clear and natural. Her skin was supple, and her smile was beautiful and sweet.

Talking to Lara was the worst thing that happened tonight.

It really affected her mood.

The atmosphere became awkwardly silent again.

Ivan could not bear to see his friend being wronged, so he could not help but say, "Well, why don't you tell us what you want in order to let Lara go?"

Lara glanced at Ivan gratefully.

Selena tilted her head slightly. She did not have a good impression of Ivan, who suddenly forced himself into the situation.

"What did I do? What do you mean by letting her go?"

Ivan was anxious for Lara and said without hesitation, "Didn't you persuade Eric to take away all of Lara's resources? You held back her upcoming show and want her role as the female lead? It's not easy for Lara to be in the entertainment industry at this age, so why can't you be a little sympathetic? Don't think you can bully her just because you have a backer! Eric blacklisted Lara just to make you happy. If you break up one day, Eric won't care about you anymore. Aren't you afraid that someone will retaliate against you? Ms. Nelson, I advise you to leave some room for maneuver so that you'll have a better future!" Ivan's words sounded plausible.

Selena almost felt that it made sense.

However, she quickly regained her senses and could not help but laugh.

"Why don't you just say the tables will turn? I can't understand what you say. Who was the one at fault here?"

Lara paused. "Don't get me wrong. Ivan is just worried for me. I'll apologize on his behalf if what he said made you upset."

Ivan was displeased when he heard this.

"What's there to apologize for? Did I say anything wrong? Isn't she Eric's side piece? He'll just coax her when he's in a good mood and throw her aside when he's not. Eric will just play around with a woman like her. How could someone like Eric marry her? Ms. Nelson, we are giving you a chance this time. As long as you tell Eric that this matter is resolved, we won't settle accounts with you later if you break up with him one day. Or else..."

Selena tilted her head with an innocent expression.

"Or else, what? Are you going to kill me?"

Ivan was stunned and furious.

"Don't be ignorant! Do you really think that you're a big shot? When Eric gets married, he won't want you anymore, and you'll be vulnerable to us then..."

Ivan was impatient and frustrated with the stubborn Selena, so he threatened her in hopes that she would behave.

"Don't be ignorant..."
