Chapter 72 The Man In The Dark

The man standing in the dark glanced at him coldly.
He immediately shut up. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and stared at Jameson in disbelief.
His finger, which had been pointing at Jameson, trembled slightly. Then he withdrew his hand quickly.
"Jameson, nice to meet you."
In a corner that no one was paying attention to, he actually bowed to Jameson obediently.
Jameson said in a cold tone with indifferent eyes.
He opened his thin lips and said in a grim voice, "Get out!"
When the man was about to leave, he suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute!"
The man turned around with a bitter face and was scared.
"Jameson, I really didn't bump into you on purpose. If I knew you were here, I would definitely make a detour..."
Jameson interrupted him impatiently. He looked at the stage direction and his eyes darkened.
"Alright, this is not what I want to say. You are not allowed to tell anyone that you see me here tonight. Do you understand?"
The person was startled. He didn't seem to understand why Jameson would say this, but he agreed obediently.
Jameson waved his hand and let him leave.
Jameson had graduated from Wildridge High School for five years, but his story circulated in the school.
The reason was that when Jameson was in this school, his reputation was too bad, and he was too cruel.
It could be said that he was a super bully that could only be seen once in ten years.
He had fought so many times, and he was fierce and ruthless when fighting. At that time, he was like a nightmare for all the students and teachers.
Even if it had been five years, everyone was still afraid of him.
When they saw him, they made a detour. In the past few years, no one dared come close to him except Lauren.
Unfortunately.
Lauren liked him but he didn't seem to like Lauren.
Some people who had a crush on Lauren didn't understand why Lauren liked Jameson, because Lauren was beautiful and her family was rich, but Jameson had no advantages except that he was handsome.
Lauren even chased after Jameson, but Jameson refused her every time.
As for this matter, those people who loved Lauren were angry in their hearts.
Unfortunately, Lauren didn't like them at all. Naturally, they had no right to say anything.
On the stage, Lauren had finished her performance.
She got up and bowed to everyone, and then walked to the back stage.
A stormy applause broke out. Jameson, who was standing in the dark, looked in the direction Lauren left. His dark eyes darkened, and then he also turned to leave.
The next was Lara's performance.
Lara was adored as a goddess by many indoors men. Although she was not as beautiful as Lauren, she was very popular because of her pure and beautiful appearance.
Her piano concerto won prolonged applause and a good impression of everyone.
Crazy male fans even presented flowers to her on the stage, looking extremely excited.
Lara still looked shy and timid. Standing on the stage, she said lots of compliments and praised all the teachers and students.
Everyone liked to listen to nice words, so did the principal and teachers.
Everyone was smiling with approval.
Clarissa, however, was not interested in watching her performance. She sent a text message to Lauren and asked where she was. Knowing that she was at the backstage, she got up and left.
At the backstage, Lauren was changing her clothes.
Just now, when she was performing on the stage, she was dressed in a traditional Chinese suit. She had to change back into the evening gown for attending the party.
Clarissa waited for her at the door. After Lauren changed clothes, they went to the hotel together hand in hand.
The school anniversary was divided into two sections, the performance and the red carpet were just one of them, and it only lasted for an hour and a half.
After that, everyone would go to a five-star hotel next to the school. The hotel had been booked. As the venue for the party, most of those who were not interested in watching the performance had gone there first. So, although it was still early, the hotel had hotted up.
Clarissa and Lauren took their room cards at the reception. They went back to their rooms before going to the banquet hall.
Inside the luxurious banquet hall, there were many people who dressed up well and it was lively.
Most of the rich and powerful people, who did not graduate from Wildridge High School, came here very early. Under the magnificent crystal lamp, they toasted each other. It was a lively scene.
The arrival of Lauren and Clarissa caught many people's attention.
It was not only because of Lauren, but they were also amazed by Clarissa's beauty.
They said, "Who is that woman? She is so beautiful!"
"Even if she stands next to Lauren, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the entertainment circle, she is not inferior to Lauren at all."
Lauren was a classical beauty, and she was elegant. Unlike Lauren, Clarissa was dressed in a blue gown and looked noble and emotional. She didn't look easy to get along with.
A few people knew her, but they were all surprised.
They said, "Clarissa? How could it be her?"
In the past, Clarissa was always dressed in professional clothes, looking capable and vigorous.
Although she was beautiful, due to her forceful methods of handling matters, her appearance was ignored by many people.
When they thought of her, most of them admired her ability, but gradually ignored her beautiful appearance.
When they saw her that day, they had a feeling that they knew her again.
Clarissa looked around the banquet hall, and her eyes fell on a man with gray hair not far away.
Lauren said in a low voice, "He is the famous director, Teddy Hussain. He has a weird temper. Sometimes he doesn't show respect to anyone. You should be careful when dealing with him."
Clarissa nodded.
"I see."
Lauren looked around and said in a low voice, "I have acquaintances there. I have to say hello to them and I won't accompany you there."
"Alright."
After Lauren left, Clarissa took a deep breath and walked towards Teddy with the wine glass in her hand.
"Hi, Director Hussain."
Teddy was the most famous comedy director in the circle. Although his works were funny, he was a very serious person in private with a strange temper. He kept a low profile and rarely participated in social activities.
He came to attend the party because he used to study in Wildridge High School and he was the friend of the current principal.
Hearing the voice, he turned around.
When he saw Clarissa, he was surprised.
"Hello, Director Hussain. My name is Clarissa, the current president of Starlight."
Clarissa respectfully handed her name card to Teddy. Teddy took it and have a look. His attitude was indifferent.
"Starlight? I heard that someone has bought it. It turned out to be you. What's the matter?"
This kind of occasion was used to know more noble people, and few men would talk about business here.
Obviously, Teddy asked this question because he didn't want to know anyone.
If the principal didn't ask him to come, he might not came here.
Clarissa didn't get angry and said with a smile, "I know that you don't like social activities, so I came here for something."
Her straightforwardness surprised Teddy a little.
He looked her up and down and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that you're choosing a female lead for your new movie. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
