Joseph was a cold man. When he was faced with her, he treated her as a stranger. And it was not until now that she knew that, in Joseph's eyes, she was no different from other women. And there was no attachment to the prior relationship.
Becky seemed to have grasped the last ray of hope, and she just nodded. But she soon hesitated, "I have had no cooperation with Megan. Will she help me?"
"It depends on whether you are good at dealing with it." Britney smiled lightly and turned around. As she walked, she turned to look at Becky and asked, "Is it really an accident between you and Mr. Kim?"
Becky was puzzled at first, and then she nodded immediately, "It is really an accident, not planned deliberately."
Britney took a meaningful glance at her and walked to Megan.
Megan would always be present on such occasions since she was famous for communicating with different kinds of people. Moreover, she was often on such social occasions to attract investment.
Britney walked in front of her. After simple chatting, Britney said beside her ears, while Megan looked over there, seeming to observe her. Becky was so stressed about it.
She didn't know what Britney said to Megan, and finally, Megan nodded. Britney waved her hands to her, and Becky walked forward happily.

At the dinner, Joseph didn't drink much, and he just dipped a little when everyone toasted him. At last, when an enthusiastic friend stood up and poured down a glass of wine for him, he covered the cup's mouth and smiled lightly, "Okay. It's enough,"
Others dared not to say that since this action would arouse others' hatred, but Joseph just smiled and said it sincerely, which made it embarrassing for others to persuade him.
And just at this time, Megan took Becky forward with glasses in their hands.
"Mr. Dover..." Megan's voice was pleasant, and there was even a smile in her eyes.
Joseph raised his eyes to glance at her.
"You must be very busy today. I want to have a drink with you, but there are so many people surrounding you. It is not easy to get access to you." Megan said smilingly.
Most of these people knew Megan, and one of them even gave a seat to her. Megan thanked him and sat down, preparing to chat with Joseph.
Joseph smiled lightly, "Nice to meet you."
"Okay, Cheers." Megan raised her glass to him, "The movie has had a hot box office, and it all thanks to your investment. You didn't attend the celebration activities, which was a big pity for Britney and me. So today, it is really nice to meet you here, and cheers!"
"We all benefit from it. So I should also thank you. And it may not be necessary to have a drink again." However, Joseph still refused her and covered the mouth of his glass, holding on not to drink.
Megan was smart since she cooperated with Joseph and knew something about his temper. Under this circumstance, it would not be interesting for her to stick to having a drink with him. She smiled lightly and signed Becky to walk forward. She introduced Becky to Joseph, "Mr. Dover, there was an accident when the movie started shooting. You may not know it. At that time, a supporting role was planned to be replaced by this girl, but she dared not accept it since she had had a contract with others. And as a result, the movie's process was affected, so today she wants to apologize to you."
Joseph took a glance at Becky without any obvious changes in her facial expressions.
Becky felt stressed as she was watched by Joseph, and she didn't know what to say for the time being.
"Becky, make an apology to Joseph quickly. You know what? You nearly destroyed the movie." Megan figured out Becky's feelings and touched her arms.
Becky recovered herself and spoke immediately. However, she was so stressed that she stammered, "Hello! Mr. Dover. I'm Becky…"
Joseph nodded lightly.
"Mr. Dover, you know what? She is quiet, simple, and timid. Now there is no such a simple girl as her. Others would have broken the promise if they had been given this opportunity to act in this movie. But Becky dares not to do it. She is promising, and she is good at acting." Megan tried her best to compliment Becky.
Joseph just smiled and didn't say anything.
Megan just signed Becky with an expression.
Becky lifted up her glass and said shyly, "I hope that...you can have bigger businesses."
And as she finished it, all the businessmen laughed out loud. One even couldn't help saying, "It must be the first time for you to come to this occasion!"
Becky blushed.
"Okay, Okay. I warn you not to be impolite to Becky. She is actually the actress I plan to choose for the next movie." Megan played jokes with them.
Joseph didn't say much and just said lightly, "Thank you."
Becky asked the waiter forward and gave him some orders. After a while, he served a glass of drinking water to her. Becky took it over and put it in front of Joseph, saying lightly, "Mr. Dover. It is unhealthy to drink too much. You can just have this glass of water, and thank you for helping me just now."
And she finished the spirits in her glass.
Some people cheered for them.
Looking at the water, Joseph thought of Irish. She would be angry at him whenever he came back late and roared beside his ears, "Joseph. You'd better wish for your longevity."
At that time, she was so stubborn and so cute.
Thinking of that, Joseph raised his lips and smiled.
Becky didn't know what he was thinking. But when he smiled lightly, she was totally attached to him. She never knew that a man would be so attractive while smiling as if there were only him in the world.
"Mr. Dover..." She called him lightly. Joseph recovered himself and took up the glass. He just thanked her and sipped a little.
"Look. This girl is considerate." Megan praised Becky again deliberately, "Mr. Dover. I hope that we can improve our cooperation later. Please remember Becky. As you know, it is not easy for a girl like her to take root in this field."
Becky looked at Joseph, stressed.
Joseph didn't change his face and kept distant from her, "I also hope so."
It just sounded like a phatic communion.
