Chapter 204 Have a Midnight Snack
"You cheated on me, and then we broke up and have resentment against each other. Shouldn't you hope that I would be cheated and hurt by others so that you could laugh at me?"
"Now you finally prick your conscience and want to do something good so you try to cast a bone between me and Anderson? Will you get any benefit from this? Could it be that... you still like me? So you don't want me and Anderson to be in a good relationship?"
After Clarissa finished speaking, she looked at him with a faint smile.
Elliot's throat tightened.
Seeing her sharp eyes, he felt that he had been seen through.
He immediately put on a cold face, pretended to be serious and said, "Clarissa! I'm really warning you. Don't think I'm joking."
Clarissa nodded in seeming earnest.
"Oh, I see. So you really still like me and hope that I can break up with Anderson and be with you again?"
Elliot was speechless.
"Tut..." Clarissa said and shook her head.
"What a pity! A good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture. Elliot, you cheated on me. Even if I break up with Anderson, I would never like you again, so you don't have to do all these."
Elliot didn't know why, but his heart became panicked for no reason after hearing her unconcerned words.
His heartbeats were quick and violent like dense raindrops.
He licked his dry lip and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to come back to me again. I... know you hate me, so naturally, I dare not expect anything. I just hope that you won't get hurt again and repay what I owe you."
Clarissa was suddenly amused but she fought the urge to laugh.
Her expression returned to normal as she said solemnly, "Okay, I see. If you have nothing else to say, you can go out now!"
Elliot looked at her, wanted to say something but stopped.
Finally, she didn't say anything and turned to leave.
After the door of the lounge was completely closed and Elliot walked away, Clarissa burst into laughter at ease.
Nora walked in and was a little puzzled when she saw Clarissa like this.
"Clarissa, what's wrong with you? Why are you laughing so crazily?"
Clarissa waved her hand. After a long while, she barely stopped laughing and said, "Nothing. I just... encountered something particularly funny."
Nora was very curious, "What is it?"
"Elliot came in just now. Guess what he said to me?"
Nora was startled and shook her head.
"I don't know."
So Clarissa laughed and told her what had happened just now.
Nora was speechless after hearing that.
"Is he insane? How could he say those words shamelessly? Did he still think that you would listen to him? He even wanted to drive a wedge between you and Mr. Jordan. Did he think that he was kind and you should thank him?"
Clarissa fell about laughing. After a long time, she patted her chest and said with a smile, "Perhaps! But he probably didn't expect that I had known about it, so he seemed to be pretty disappointed when he left."
Nora pursed her lips sarcastically.
"As the president of the Duncan Group, he is so vicious and narrow-minded. How could he be compared to Mr. Jordan? How ridiculous!"
Clarissa shook her head, "He has always been so ridiculous. Alright, I don't bother to care about him. By the way, Nora, did Anderson go back to Flaucford a few days ago?"
Nora was taken aback. She reacted and quickly replied, "Yes, you were filming at the time, and I answered the phone when he called you. I was too busy, so I forgot to tell you."
Clarissa nodded.
"It's doesn't matter. I just asked it casually. Well, it's getting late. Let's go over there."
"Okay."
The shoot at night went smoothly.
Although the shoot stopped several times because Lara made mistakes again, it was much better than before.
Alvin didn't even bother to scold her. He finally found that Lara could act well when she put on a rival show with others.
But as long as she acted with Clarissa, she would definitely make mistakes.
She always forgot her lines and couldn't express the proper emotions. Anyway, she made all kinds of mistakes.
How could Alvin not understand that Clarissa was deliberately obstructing Lara?
What surprised him was that this was Clarissa's first time to act, but she had such strength.
In the entertainment circle, there was indeed a saying that an actor could be overwhelmed by another actor's aura.
Some experienced actors could perfectly blend the temperament of the role with themselves and form their own aura.
When acting with others, they could inspire or suppress others.
If they inspired others, they could bring out the best in each other. But if they suppressed others, no matter how well others performed, they couldn't give full play of their acting skills.
Usually people who had this ability must have acted for ten or eight years.
But Clarissa was born to have this kind of ability, which surprised him.
But since he knew that it was Lara's fault, he was relieved.
Although he didn't like Lara, he had signed with her and the shoot had to go on. If time was wasted, the budget would grow. He had to think for the whole crew and couldn't let Clarissa continue like this.
So, after finishing the shoot at night, Alvin found Clarissa and wanted to talk to her.
Clarissa had been waiting for him after she finished acting, as if she had long expected that he would come to find her.
Seeing him coming, Clarissa smiled and asked, "Director Leslie, are you hungry? Would you like to have a midnight snack with me?"
Alvin touched his belly and nodded, "Okay! Then let's go to the restaurant across the street."
Clarissa agreed.
There was a barbecue restaurant across the street. The two learned from the previous incident and didn't sit outside. Instead, they went into a private box inside.
Nora knew that they were going to talk about something, so she didn't follow them but guarded outside.
As soon as they sat down and ordered the meal, Clarissa said straightforwardly, "Director Leslie, did you come to me for Lara?"
Seeing that she took the initiative to mention this, Alvin was surprised, but he did not deny it and nodded.
"I know that although you are sisters, you have resentment against each other. I don't know what happened between you, but those are your private matters. In the crew, I hope you can think for the whole crew and don't work with personal grievances. Otherwise, the progress of the shoot will be affected."
Clarissa nodded.
"I understand your thoughts. I also want to say sorry to you about this matter. But there is something that you may not know."
Alvin was taken aback slightly and asked blankly, "What is it?"
Clarissa unpacked the chopsticks as she said, "I caught the person who took pictures of me entering your room and posted them online to frame us."
