Chapter 215 Young But Mature And Steady
Seeing that he didn't mean to object, Chloe felt relieved and agreed with a smile. They began to eat happily.
But at this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open.
The clicking of the camera flash sounded, and then countless reporters came in with cameras and microphones.
"Mr. Duncan, I heard that your family and the Chapman family specially meet today to discuss your marriage with Lara. Is that right?"
"Have you decided your wedding date? When is it?"
"As the president of the Duncan Group and the famous actress in the entertainment circle, how will you hold your wedding?"
"I heard that you two are childhood sweethearts and have been together for many years. Can you tell us about your love story?"
"..."
Countless voices sounded. The reporters kept clicking and the camera flashes made them unable to open their eyes.
However, the faces of everyone sitting there were changed.
Conner's face darkened completely when the reporters rushed in.
Elliot was also shocked for a while, and then thought of something and looked at Lara in disbelief.
A guilty conscience flashed through Lara's eyes. She quickly returned to normal, looked at Elliot in panic and shook her head.
"Elliot, it's not me, I didn't inform them."
Chloe also pretended to be surprised, but she calmed down quickly and looked at the group of reporters with a smile.
"Thanks for your concern about Lara, but today is a private meeting. Could you please interview us the other day? Today... is really improper."
As she said, she looked at Conner in a dilemma with apology and helplessness in her eyes.
Conner's face was gloomy, and he deliberately pretended not to see her eyes.
Elliot reacted and knew that it was useless to escape in such a situation.
Since the reporters had come, they naturally wouldn't leave without getting the answers they wanted.
So he had to stand up and say in front of the cameras, "As you can see, today we meet here to discuss the wedding of me and Lara. Lara is an actress, and I can understand that you follow her and take pictures of her, but our parents are not people in the entertainment circle. The meeting today is too private, so I hope you can understand us."
"At the same time, if we negotiate a result, we will inform you as soon as possible, so please rest assured."
"Now it's time to eat, and you must be tired. You can go downstairs to rest and have a meal, and you can charge the money to my account."
His words were elegant, generous and decent. He neither felt dissatisfied because they interrupted his private meeting, nor did he go against his principles and expose more details in order to please the reporters.
He even said that he would invite the reporters to lunch, which invisibly won the hearts of many reporters.
His response was perfect and graceful.
Chloe kept praising Elliot in her heart.
Lara really had great discernment in her choice of boyfriend. Elliot would definitely be able to help the Chapman family in the future and make the Chapman family get rapid promotion!
Hearing Elliot's words, the reporters naturally couldn't say anything else.
Although they still wanted to ask a few more questions, Elliot refused to reply and bodyguards had come in, so they had to leave temporarily.
More than ten minutes later, the box finally returned to quiet.
The embarrassment was stiff and awkward.
Conner sat there and didn't speak.
Gianni wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he was poor in knowledge. When he spoke, he made the atmosphere more embarrassing.
Lena looked at Elliot and smiled gently, "I have always heard that you're young but mature and steady, and you're a promising talent. Today I finally see how outstanding you are. I feel relieved that Lara can marry you."
Elliot smiled reluctantly, "Thank you."
At this moment, Conner's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and answered it. The next second, he frowned.
"What? Okay, hold on first, and I'll be back soon!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up.
Seeing that his face was anxious, Chloe quickly asked, "Conner, what happened?"
Conner paused slightly.
Ha! She c hanged her address for him really quickly!
Conner frowned and said with a straight face, "Something happened in the company just now, and I have to rush back immediately. I'm really sorry. Elliot, stay here to accompany them to finish the meal. Don't forget to see them off personally later. I'm leaving first."
Elliot got up and nodded, "Okay, I see."
"Hey, but..."
Chloe wanted to say something, but Conner didn't give her this opportunity. He picked up his coat and left in a hurry like a gust of wind.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Gianni's awkward voice sounded.
"Ha-ha... Well, Mr. Duncan is really busy. Why does he suddenly have something urgent to deal with now?"
Elliot explained to him, "We're opening up overseas markets these days, and the situation there was not stable. My father has just come back from Flaucford a few days ago. According to his tone, there is probably something wrong there again."
Gianni's eyes lit up.
"Overseas market? Are you increasing your markets overseas?"
Elliot smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, but it's still in progress. It's hard to say if it will go smoothly."
"Since you and your father are both capable, you can definitely achieve what you want."
Gianni said happily, and Chloe's annoyed expression turned better when she heard that.
"Your uncle is right. Since your father has something to do, we can't bother him. We can discuss the marriage another day when he has free time."
"That is right. It's not in the hurry. Business is the most important thing."
Hearing what they said, Elliot smiled and said nothing.
Without Conner, they finished the meal quickly.
Chloe refused to let Elliot send her home and left with Gianni and Lena. She let Elliot go back to work.
Lara did not go back with them, but got on Elliot's car and went to Twilight Entertainment with him.
The Chapman family had invested in Twilight Entertainment, and Twilight was Elliot's own company, so they were not afraid of being photographed.
As soon as Elliot entered the office, his face darkened as he walked behind the desk and turned on the computer without saying a word.
There was a deluge of news about the marriage of Lara and Elliot online.
In addition to Facebook, the news was widespread on other websites.
It seemed that they were definitely about to get married.
Moreover, some reporters even said that they had got the marriage certificate. They gathered together that day and they would hold the wedding soon.
