Chapter 559: Chapter 501 Declan’s Apology
"Really?" Nina seemed upset.
Nina couldn’t take her mind off the photo of Harley and Sylvia.
"Of course. Mom said you didn’t eat much today." Harley looked down at Nina with his eyes full of concern.
Nina sat upright and shook her head. "I don’t have much appetite."
"No, you need to eat something." Harley stood up and continued, "Wait a second. I’ll have them cook something you like to eat."
Harley walked out of the room before Nina could say anything.
Watching Harley walk away, Nina was in a daze.
Nina was lost in thought, perhaps Melissa was right. I’m too sensitive.
Sylvia is just a woman Harley works with. Harley had eyes only for me. Why am I jealous?
Ten minutes later, Harley returned with a bowl of soup. "Get it while it’s hot. It tastes really good."
"Thank you." With a smile on her face, Nina reached out to take the bowl from Harley.
However, Harley didn’t hand Nina the soup. Harley raised his eyebrows and whispered in Nina’s ear in his deep voice, "Let me feed you."
Harley’s husky voice made Nina’s ears turn red.
"It’s so sweet of you, but I can do it my..."
Before Nina could finish her sentence, Harley scooped up the soup with a spoon and blew on it. "Come on, Nina." Harley carefully put the spoon near Nina’s mouth.
"Thank you." Moved, Nina nodded slightly.
Harley fed Nina soup slowly and patiently.
Nina almost forgot how to breathe when she looked into Harley’s handsome face.
To Nina, Harley was an eligible man.
Harley was not only a charming man with a good family background, but also a famous actor. Most importantly, Harley treated Nina like a princess with love and patience.
Harley was the type of guy that any girl would kill for.
However...
Tom’s face popped into Nina’s mind.
Nina wanted to know how Tom was doing and whether his leg was healed or not.
Nina still couldn’t believe that Tom would fall in love with someone else.
And Nina didn’t know why Tom would be so heartless to break her heart.
Harley put down the soup and pulled Nina into his arms as Nina was lost in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Harley whispered.
Nina collected her thoughts and smiled faintly. "Nothing," Nina replied.
"Don’t let your imagination get the best of you. Sylvia and I are just friends." Harley lowered his head and kissed Nina’s forehead.
...
Star Entertainment.
Melissa greeted everyone in the company warmly. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Melissa’s colleagues heard about her engagement, and they gossiped about it. In the afternoon, Melissa sat in the office to check the views on different streaming platforms on the Internet. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Melissa uttered.
Jaylin walked in with a tablet in his hand.
"What’s the matter?" Melissa looked up at Jaylin.
The screenwriter already got the script of a new drama from Melissa. The final draft was expected to come out in a few days.
"The post-production of ’The King Saying Farewell to His Queen’ is basically completed. This is a sample clip of the movie that the post-production team just sent over. Since you’re in the company today, check this out."
Jaylin swiped his finger across the screen. He then clicked a video and then passed the tablet to Melissa.
Melissa took the tablet from Jaylin and started watching the video.
The scenes and the close-ups were surprisingly amazing. Some of the parts that were required to be post-edited were well-made. Even if the clip was played on a giant screen, it wouldn’t affect viewers’ viewing experience.
Melissa went over some of the parts which were all the main parts of "The King Saying Farewell to His Queen". She needed them to be perfect. After making sure that the lighting of these parts was edited as she required, Melissa nodded in satisfaction and handed the tablet back to Jaylin.
"You know what? I would say it’s super nice. Next, we’re going to send the movie clip to the Committee of the International Film Festival. If the movie wins Best Film, this will be a good opportunity for you as well as Star Entertainment."
Jaylin nodded. "Oh, right!" Suddenly, Jaylin slightly tapped the table with his finger and looked at Melissa. Jaylin went on, "By the way, I heard that Global Filming is going to release a movie about a story that happened in ancient times. Looks like they are determined to win the trophy at the International Film Festival.
"Although the theme of our movie is different from Global Filming’s new one’s, Global Filming is more influential in Aldness. Moreover, some movies from Global Filming have already been added to all kinds of streaming platforms. They already got enough views on the Internet. High ratings might win them an award at the International Film Festival.
"However, since ’The King Saying Farewell to His Queen’ has already got a lot of buzz, and its post-production is almost done, maybe we should release this movie as soon as possible. What do you say?
"At least we can compete with Global Filming at the International Film Festival. Otherwise, I’m afraid that we will never stand a chance."
Melissa shook her head. In fact, Melissa had already made up her mind. "Don’t worry. I have faith in you and this movie. When everything is settled, the movie will make its debut at the International Film Festival."
Jaylin fell silent. A moment later, Jaylin nodded and left.
Before long, Melissa got another call from the receptionist. "Ms. Eugen, the president of the Yale Group wants to see you," the receptionist said.
Melissa thought, Declan?
Melissa didn’t really want to see Declan right now. However, considering that Star Entertainment and the Yale Group were business partners, Melissa couldn’t refuse to see Declan. "Alright. Let him in," Melissa answered.
Declan fixed his tie before walking into Melissa’s office. "Hi, Ms. Eugen," Declan greeted warmly with a smile on his face.
Melissa had already had her assistant make coffee before Declan came in. Melissa put the cup of coffee in front of Declan as she looked up at him. "What can I do for you, Mr. Yale? Is it about the script? Anything wrong?"
Declan waved his hand and replied, "No, no." Declan looked into Melissa’s eyes with sincerity and guilt. After a long time, Declan stammered, "Actually, I... I came to apologize to you."
"Well?" Melissa raised her eyebrows in confusion. Melissa and Declan had barely spoken to each other in the past few days. Melissa had no idea why Declan apologized to her.
"For what?" Melissa continued.
Declan was lost for words.
Remained silent, Declan didn’t know how to explain.
Declan knew that Adela was way out of line this time. Besides, Murray came to talk to Declan about it before. As the president of the Yale Group or as a mature man, Declan owed Melissa an apology.
