Chapter 135 Daniel Knows Scarlett Is Pregnant
Jenny and Sarah chatted as they walked forward.
A motorhome pulled in behind them, and the back door swung open. A pair of long legs stepped out first.
It was a man wearing a mask and bucket hat, dressed in a long trench coat. He was covered up completely and even wore sunglasses.
"Mr. Bridges, Mr. Montes has already arrived. Everyone's just waiting for you."
Assistant Jack got out of the car, replying while looking at his phone.
Alton nodded and looked ahead, his gaze landing on a somewhat familiar figure.
He raised his hand and pulled down his sunglasses a bit.
He wasn't mistaken—it was that troublemaker Sarah.
"What's she doing here?" He raised an eyebrow.
Jack followed his gaze and looked over. Just then Sarah turned to talk to Jenny, giving Jack a clear view of her face.
Jack said excitedly, "You mean Sarah, Mr. Bridges? Yeah, that's her. Why isn't she on set today? Wait, does Sarah know Jenny? Could she be here to meet some director?"
Jack speculated, happy for Sarah, and continued.
"Sarah's such a good actress, and her action scenes are even better. She's just as pretty as those female stars. If she gets a chance, she'll definitely make it big."
As he kept talking, he felt the air pressure around him drop.
He looked up to see Alton looking down at him with an unfriendly stare. Jack gave an awkward smile.
"What? 'Sarah' this, 'Sarah' that—are you two that close?"
"No, no, but Sarah, I mean Ms. Johnson, she's nice and friendly to everyone. She gets along well with all of us."
"So you think she's too good to be my martial arts director and exclusive kissing double, is that it?" Alton sneered.
Jack shrank back and shut his mouth.
Alton quickened his pace, but didn't expect that Sarah and her group were heading to the same private room as them.
"Ms. Johnson and the others must be here to see Mr. Bridges too. Oh, I just remembered—Jenny is the second female lead in 'Fated Destiny.' She must be trying to introduce Ms. Johnson to Mr. Bridges, right?"
Alton narrowed his eyes, strode forward with his long legs, and grabbed Sarah's arm.
"Come with me."
"What? Alton, what's wrong with you? Let go!"
Jenny watched in confusion as Sarah was dragged away. She tried to follow but was stopped by Jack.
"Ms. Kate, Mr. Bridges just needs a word with Ms. Johnson. You don't need to go over there."
Alton had connections and was already a famous movie star.
Jenny was surprised. "Sarah knows Mr. Bridges too? That's great, I won't interrupt then."
Jenny had heard that the male lead in Fated Destiny was a big name, but didn't expect it to be someone at Alton's level.
Sarah knew him, and their relationship seemed pretty close.
Did she even need to fight for this fourth female role?
Sarah was pulled to the restroom entrance. Annoyed, she tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't. She bent her elbow and struck Alton's chest, pressing him against the wall.
"Mr. Bridges, if you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm busy."
Who knows what she ate growing up—Alton felt his back aching from the impact.
He said with a dark face, "Sarah, what are you doing here meeting Mr. Bridges?"
"What I do is none of your business."
Sarah turned to leave, but Alton grabbed her again. She said angrily.
"You're trying to get a role from Mr. Bridges, aren't you? Don't forget, you signed an agreement with me."
Sarah had been framed by that jerk Alton before and ended up at the police station. It was Scarlett who ran to ask Daniel for help to get Sarah out.
Later, Sarah ran into Alton again on set. He held grudges and gave her a hard time.
She was worried about causing more trouble for Scarlett, so she kept putting up with it and had no choice but to agree to be Alton's martial arts director.
And Alton was so difficult—he thought other actresses were unclean and refused to do intimate scenes with different actresses.
He made Sarah stand in for the female lead during his bed scenes and kissing scenes. Sarah agreed to that too.
Sarah and Alton had even signed an agreement.
But right now, Sarah thought Alton was being ridiculous. She said impatiently.
"Yeah, we signed an agreement, but it's not like I sold myself to you. As long as I do my regular acting work without interfering with your stuff, it's fine."
Sarah turned to leave, but Alton grabbed her shoulder again.
Sarah had waited so long for this opportunity, and Jenny was still waiting. She was worried that being late would make a bad impression on Orval.
Sarah completely lost it. She turned around, grabbed Alton by the collar, stood on her toes, leaned in close with a smile and threatened.
"Alton, if you waste any more of my time, I'm going to force a kiss on you!"
For someone like Alton, Sarah thought this threat would work best.
Sure enough, Alton tensed up instantly and shut his mouth.
"Scared now? Good boy, I won't touch you."
Sarah figured he either had some issues with his orientation or just didn't like contact with women.
Seeing how scared he looked made her laugh. She ran her thumb across her own lips, then quickly brushed it against the corner of Alton's lips.
Alton's whole body went stiff. Before he could react, Sarah turned and ran off.
When Alton came to his senses, he raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips. His thumb was stained with bright lipstick.
Sweet and sticky, strawberry flavored.
She really had no self-awareness—that lipstick color was a terrible choice.
"Are you in heat or did you just get assaulted?"
Daniel came out of the private room wanting to smoke and saw Alton standing against the wall.
Alton's clothes were disheveled, there was a lipstick mark on his face, and he had a strange expression. Daniel said flatly.
Alton looked up, adjusting his clothes awkwardly.
"How could I possibly be in heat over a woman like Sarah? Don't talk nonsense!"
Daniel's slender fingers played with a cigarette. He seemed a bit surprised and asked.
"What's Sarah doing here?"
Given Sarah and Scarlett's relationship, Sarah didn't go to see her off at the airport?
"What else would that woman be doing? She actually came here with Jenny to entertain clients! She thinks the entertainment industry is so easy to break into—she's asking for trouble! Daniel, I can't talk now, I need to..."
Alton was rushing to the private room to see if that stupid woman Sarah was already drunk and being taken advantage of, when he saw Daniel's expression suddenly change, his whole body radiating a cold, oppressive aura.
"Who did you just say?"
Daniel moved closer to Alton, asking in a low voice.
Alton was a bit startled.
Because Daniel in front of him had a face like dark water, and the cigarette in his fingers had been crushed into pieces that fell to the ground.
"Did that stupid woman Sarah offend Daniel?"
"Not her. The other one you just mentioned." Daniel said in a low voice.
"Jenny? She's just a small-time actress, Daniel probably doesn't know her..."
"Take me there!"
Before Alton could finish, Daniel cut him off in a stern voice.
When Sarah got to the private room, Jenny was already drinking with Orval. Jenny gave Sarah a look.
"Sarah, perfect timing. We're lucky today—Orval brought some of his prized wine. You're late, so you need to drink three cups as punishment."
Sarah smiled and walked over, taking the wine glass.
"Then I'm getting a great deal. Mr. Bridges, here's to you."
She tipped her head back and downed three cups. "Sweet aftertaste, good wine!"
Orval was very pleased and said to Jenny, "Straightforward! Jenny, this fourth female role you recommended is good."
Jenny quickly said, "Then Sarah and I will toast Mr. Bridges together again. Come on, come on."
When the private room door opened, Jenny and Sarah were boldly downing another glass. Sarah turned her head and saw Daniel walking in.
Daniel's gaze was like a hawk's, fixed intently on Jenny.
The smile on Sarah's face froze instantly. Daniel was already walking toward Jenny.
His presence was overwhelming. In an instant, the entire room fell silent.
Jenny hadn't quite processed what was happening when Daniel, with intense pressure, asked in a low voice.
"Isn't Ms. Kate pregnant? Since when can pregnant women drink? Is Ms. Kate playing a pregnant woman in this production?"
Sarah felt very uneasy.
This is bad!
Daniel was such a sharp person—he must have figured out that Scarlett was pregnant. They couldn't hide it anymore!
She wondered if Scarlett had boarded the plane yet.
