Semua Bab Doting on the Greenhorn: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Ivy elaborated, "Bob is one of the film's backers. He wasn't entirely lying last night when he told me there was a movie in the making, but he tends to offer these roles to actresses only if they agree to sleep with him."When the director heard about Tyrone coming to our defense and saw me with Seth, he immediately sent the script over. That was when I got offered the lead role."Ivy's gaze was dark as a bitter smile curled on her lips. "This is the first time a director and producer have begged me to star in a movie. Funny how money and power can take someone this far, huh?"There had been countless occasions where she vowed to prove herself through her acting skills and make directors take notice of her. She had been determined to do her best, even if she landed minor roles.And yet, the one time she had been offered the lead role had nothing to do with her acting skills whatsoever.For some reason, Heather sensed that something was bothering Ivy. "Will you accept the role, I

Tyrone was a rascal, through and through.Heather considered the curious stares of the small team behind Tyrone and forced out the words, "Thank you, Mr. Elkin. If you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work now."Without waiting for his response, she quickly picked up the scattered paperwork on the ground and bolted from the scene.Tyrone was amused as he watched her take off like a startled bunny.As Heather walked, she cursed Tyrone for being such a rogue. He could have spared her the embarrassment, but he had chosen to put her in an awkward position instead.She finally stopped walking when she got to the stairwell entrance. She patted her flushed cheeks and straightened out the documents she was holding, all the while cursing Tyrone inwardly.Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from none other than Tyrone, which read, "Bring me the advertising department's interim budget in half an hour."Heather read the message again and frowned. She had a feeling Tyrone was up to

A chill ran down Anna's spine when she registered Tyrone's annoyance. The hair on the back of her neck stood. She could live if she failed to seduce Tyrone, but the same couldn't be said if she angered him. "I'll take my leave now, Mr. Elkin," she said. Without another word, she set the document down on his desk and dashed out of the office.Tyrone ignored her and merely glanced at Heather's seat through the one-way glass. Storm clouds gathered in his eyes as he thought of her insolence.…After Heather was done with her shift at the Red Rose that night, she stood by the curb to try and flag down a passing cab.At that moment, her phone buzzed. She took it out and saw that it was yet another message from Tyrone. He had sent her the address of a nightclub without any context.Baffled, she hesitated before texting back. "Is something the matter, Mr. Elkin?""Come over," was all he said.She blinked at the message and wondered why he would want her to meet him at a nightclub at

Although Heather wasn't looking at Tyrone, she could still feel his piercing gaze on her. For some reason, his staring emboldened her.A blush crept over her cheeks as she said in a clipped tone, "No.""Really?" Seth pressed. He looked at Tyrone and said jestfully, "Then, it must be your face that's the problem, Ty. Would it kill you to smile? You're scaring Hattie so much, she won't even sit with you."Tyrone glanced at Heather as he picked up his glass of wine and snorted. "Oh, I doubt I could scare her. It takes nerves of steel to disregard my instructions, and that's exactly what she did."There was no warmth in his tone.Heather's gaze flickered. She knew he was talking about the incident this afternoon when she had asked Anna to deliver the document in her place. She caught a glimpse of Tyrone's sullen expression. It was safe to say that he was furious with her."What were the instructions you disregarded, cutie pie?" Seth probed curiously, apparently having assumed the r

Under the dim lights, Tyrone's gaze was cold and depthless, not to mention piercing.He lounged on the couch with one leg stretched out atop the other while he swirled his wine. The burnished gold ring he wore on his index finger dazzled under the lights.He was usually distant, but tonight he was nonchalant.Tyrone didn't have to say anything. All he had to do was look at Heather, and she could already feel the air around her go still. She swallowed as the tension between them rose and lowered her gaze before muttering, "I don't walk all over Mr. Elkin."With that said, she couldn't very well insist on leaving. As such, the game began."Okay, let's start! I'll spin!" Siena declared happily as she flicked the needle on the spinner. After several spins, the needle finally stopped on the green section. It was Seth's turn to pick truth or dare.Heather gave out a breath of relief that it wasn't her turn.Seth hadn't gone easy on Siena in the last round, and she planned on punis
