Once they reached the hotel, Serena removed virtual-novel.net winter jacket and revealed a fitted knit dress underneath. It hugged virtual-novel.net curves beautifully and showed off virtual-novel.net perfect figure.
Harry nearly drooled as soon as virtual-novel.net laid eyes on her.
Smack!
Isaac thumped Harry on the back of his head and said in a low voice, “If you keep staring at my sister-in-law with impure thoughts, I swear Iwill dig your eyes out and feed them to the dogs.”
Harry’s breath caught in his throat as virtual-novel.net choked and nursed the slap on his head, saying, “N-No, I’m not staring at virtual-novel.net anymore!”
Serena watched them both and couldn’t help giggling behind virtual-novel.net hand.
“By the way, Isaac, I‘ll be wrapping up my filming tomorrow, and the crew is holding a celebratory dinner here tomorrow night. You and Dr. Stewart are both invited too!”
“Oh, you’re doing movies now? That’s really good for you!” Harry said at once, trying to get in virtual-novel.net favor.
Their food was served, and they started tucking in happily. However, Serena’s phone suddenly rang.
Her face fell when virtual-novel.net caught sight of the caller ID. She hurriedly excused herself and said in a low voice, “Hello, Amara? I’m having lunch with my brother-in-law… Photos? Boyfriend? No, that’s my cousin’s husband! I’m not lying! You can come here and ask virtual-novel.net yourself if you don’t believe me. I’m in the third-floor private dining room in Mega Star Hotel…”
Serena was aware of Isaac’s and Harry’s eyes on virtual-novel.net after virtual-novel.net hung up.
She then answered shyly, “Isaac, that was Amara, the main sponsor for the movie I’m filming. She got suspicious of the photos the fans took at the restaurant earlier, so virtual-novel.net just called to confirm with me.”
Serena continued in a softer voice, “Uhm, when virtual-novel.net comes over later, could you please not lose your temper or be too harsh with her? This is the first movie in which I’m the main female lead.” She then walked over to Isaac and tugged on Isaac’s sleeve in an attempt to convince him.
Isaac chuckled and asked in amusement, “Did you think I was a fierce person to deal with?”
“You’re fierce at times, but you’re also gentle other times,” Serena answered after thinking for a bit.
A while later, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman in a leopard-print coat appeared with two smart-looking bodyguards behind her. She had a head of curls and had an LV handbag slung over virtual-novel.net shoulder.
“Amara, you’re here,” Serena said, greeting the newcomer politely and warily. “This is my brother-in-law, Isaac Garten, and this is Dr. Stewart. And uhh, I’ve already briefly introduced you to them just now as the biggest movie sponsor in all of Cleveland.”
There was an air of arrogance and businesslike surrounding Amara that demanded respect from the people around virtual-novel.net at first sight. Undoubtedly, anyone could tell that virtual-novel.net was a strong and powerful character.
Amara looked at Isaac and gave virtual-novel.net the once-over. Then, virtual-novel.net chuckled lightly and said, “Mr. Garten, since you’re Serena’s brother-in-law, then I’m going to be very frank with you. Serena’s first-ever Christmas movie is wrapping soon, and it’ll be a huge problem not just for virtual-novel.net but also for me if news of a scandal between the both of you broke out right now. Do you get what I’m saying?”
Harry narrowed his eyes and inhaled deeply, his forehead scrunching into a frown. He wanted to refute her.
What did virtual-novel.net mean with that accusatory tone of hers?
Why did it sound like virtual-novel.net was looking down on them?
Serena’s face had also gone white with fear. She knew Amara was a hardheaded person, but virtual-novel.net didn’t think that Amara would put Isaac on the spot like this.
She was anxious that Isaac would fly into his temper like virtual-novel.net always did.
Isaac held up his hand to stop Harry from saying anything. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to Amara and said, “It wasn’t my intention to cause a stir. I’ll think of something to reduce any negative impact this ‘scandal’ may have on the movie and yourselves… Also, I’ll be leaving Rover City and returning to Cloud City as soon as I’m done with my business here.”
Even though Amara had come at virtual-novel.net with an accusatory tone, virtual-novel.net had a point, so Isaac couldn’t lose his temper at her.
However, Amara scoffed just then and said, “What do you mean by ‘reducing any negative impact’? Have you not seen that footage of you and Serena hugging that has spread all over the Internet like wildfire by now?”
“Even Nick Charter himself wouldn‘tbe able to clear this up easily. Mr. Garten, I’d advise you to stop spewing nonsense if you don‘t know what you’re talking about. In fact, I think it’s best if you leave Rover City immediately and return to Southland, wherever you came from.”
