My Wife Is So Sweet novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 Touring the Set

Last night had gone wrong, but the money should have been given to Maria in the first place, so it should be fine on that end.

As for that Mr. Jude, he deserved what he'd got!

She actually didn't know what Max had done to the man. She hadn't lost consciousness completely at that night that night, but she'd been getting confused.

So she didn't really hear what everyone had said clearly.

That's why she also didn't know that Max was purging all of Aspen Enterprises from Eqitin.

Dialing Maria's number, she hurriedly beamed, "Maria, I... the attendance fee I was supposed to get paid yesterday night, could you wire it to me now?"

On the other end, Maria's tone was helpless.

"Sorry, Laura, we might... not be able to get the money now."

Laura blinked.

"What?"

"Did something go wrong last night? They called today to say that you offended a very important customer, who took back all their previous investment, so..."

Laura was speechless.

"How about this! If you really need money, I've got some spare change on hand I can lend to you. You can return it any time you want, no rush."

Laura hurriedly said, "No need. Thanks, Maria."

After hanging up, Laura's mood plummeted.

She hadn't thought she wouldn't even get that sum of money from last night.

She clutched her head dejectedly, sighing.

At that moment, her phone rang again.

It was Diego.

Laura frowned and picked it up impatiently. "What is it this time?"

"The money you promised me, sweet daughter. When am I getting it? It's the twenty-fifth. It'll only be a few days before the month is over. They're putting a lot of pressure on me now.

Laura wanted to reach through the phone and strangle him.

She said through clenched teeth, "I told you I'm going to give it to you when the cast is done, and the show isn't done shooting yet, right? What's the rush?"

Diego snickered twice.

"Fine. At any rate, it's this month at the latest. If you can't produce the money by then or try to lie to me, don't blame me for what happens next!"

With that, Diego hung up.

Today, just as Laura arrived on set, she heard that there was a huge investor coming to tour the set.

After asking about it, she learned it was actually Max.

Even though the primary investor in the show was Annie International, there were other investors and companies.

Max was one of them.

Hearing the news, everyone was riled up.

Who was Max? He was the second son of the Nixon family, one of the four great families. He was famous for being one of the city's most eligible bachelors.

He was a regular in the tabloids and on everyone's lips all the time, but speaking of, not a lot of people had met him up close.

And all these years, Max had invested along with Archie in quite a few shows, but he'd never shown up to tour the set in person.

So, everyone who heard the news grew excited.

A few of the assistant girls on scene were mostly attracted by the sheer beauty that Max displayed on magazines, and wanted to see their god in person.

But she'd never thought that Max would come on the scene today. This was the first time she'd seen him in person from such a close distance. She didn't think the man would be this handsome.

Well-defined features, an elegant aura, the noble atmosphere that he just emanated, it was intoxicating like a good vintage.

Goodness! How could such a perfect man exist!

Handsome, with a powerful presence, and most importantly, rich!

Even though he sounded a bit like a playboy in the tabloids and rumors.

But he was a rich man, so of course he'd fool around!

And the way she saw it, Max didn't have a girlfriend, so it was natural to be a playboy. If a woman could claim his heart and fix it in place, he wouldn't be fooling around out there.

Thinking of that, Sally's gaze towards Max began to grow hot.

Max was here, so he was naturally the top dog at the scene.

Even the director was polite and respectful to him, discussing something with him quietly in person.

The filming got halfway when the assistant director at the side, handling the camera, suddenly shouted, "Cut!"

Then he ran over to yell at the actor playing Laura's serving man.

The serving man had been supposed to carry a stool for Laura to get on the carriage, but he'd taken up a pillow instead.

Obviously, Max's arrival wasn't just making the actresses nervous, but the actors too.

Seeing that, Sally sneered to the side, "That actor really can't be blamed for that. If the lead actress in the scene wasn't carrying the rhythm, of course he'd get nervous and make a mistake."

Max and the director both looked up at her, surprised.

Seeing that she'd been noticed, a hint of pleasure flashed through Sally's eyes as she continued, "Of course, if the lead was an experienced actress, she should have known to use her own aura to bring her companions around her into the scene and follow her beat. If she'd done that, they wouldn't have been so easily distracted by things outside of the scene."
