Chapter 1736 So Bernice is Lucas's woman.
Lucas lowered his eyes, turning the bottle in his hand, and gave a faint smile. "You do spoil Cassie."
"Lucas, I don't believe you love Bernice. At most, you were just unwilling to accept not getting her at first. Now, haven't you already gotten Bernice?"
Joseph clinked his glass with his.
Lucas looked down and chuckled.
Yes, he had already gotten Bernice.
At eleven o'clock at night, Lucas returned to his place, reeking of alcohol.
When he pushed the door open and saw the empty room, his heart, scorched by the alcohol, felt like it was being clawed at by countless ants.
He took out his phone and dialed Bernice's number, issuing a lazy command, "Come over."
"Mr. Nelson," Bernice's assistant answered the phone, trembling, "I'm sorry, Bernice drank too much at a dinner with the crew tonight and fell asleep."
"Make sure she's awake by tomorrow morning."
After coldly venting his anger, Lucas threw the phone aside.
On the other end, Gabriella put down the phone and timidly glanced at Bernice, who was slowly removing her makeup at the dressing table.
Oh no, she had recklessly lied to Lucas.
The instigator who ordered her to lie still looked calm and unbothered. Gabriella really couldn't understand how Bernice could be so bold. All the other women in the company usually tried their hardest to please Lucas, even Sarah in the past was no exception.
"Bernice, Mr. Nelson wants you to go over tomorrow morning."
"Got it, you can go rest now." Bernice stood up, nonchalantly taking her bathrobe to the bathroom.
Gabriella blinked and finally obediently left.
After her bath, Bernice took a bottle of wine from the cabinet, opened it, and sat on a high stool, slowly drinking glass after glass.
She didn't know when it started, but if she didn't numb herself with alcohol, she would have had insomnia when sleeping alone.
Even though drinking often made her stomach worse day by day, she found it hard to change.
No one except those close to her knew that Bernice, the hottest rising star in the film industry, was just Lucas's plaything.
The next day.
Bernice slept until nine in the morning. She had two missed calls from Lucas, but she simply ignored them and turned off her phone. It wasn't until one in the afternoon that she drove to the set for filming.
Ever since she got involved with Lucas, all the roles she took were modern dramas, and every filming location was in Whisperlyn City. The farthest was just an hour's drive from Whisperlyn City.
She felt very annoyed by this and wondered when Lucas would finally get tired of her.
After finishing the first scene, Bernice turned around to take a break and saw that Lucas had somehow appeared on set.
The director was fawning over him, lighting his cigarette.
Not just the director, but the male lead, Marlon Rojas, and the second female lead, Cecilia Thorne, were also trying to curry favor with Lucas.
"Mr. Nelson, what brings you to our set today?" Cecilia's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lucas. Both she and Bernice were from Dreamscape Entertainment Group, and this time, Dreamscape was one of the investors in the film, which was why she had the chance to act alongside Bernice. But she wasn't as popular as Bernice. If she could sleep with Lucas, her resources would improve.
"Just came to see someone."
Lucas held a cigarette, his charming eyes looking indulgent at Bernice standing not far away.
The crew was instantly shocked.
So Bernice was Mr. Nelson's woman all along.
Marlon, who had a bit of a crush on Bernice, immediately gave up any thoughts. He felt a bit of disdain in his heart.
The director wondered if he had ever scolded Bernice.
Cecilia was jealous. She always thought Bernice was so aloof, but it turned out she was no different from her.
Bernice said nothing, just stopped at a distance, a faint coldness flashing in her eyes.
When they first got together, he promised not to make their relationship public. Now he had come to the set, was he afraid others wouldn't know about their relationship?
"Come here." Lucas crooked his finger, his hoarse voice seductive.
Bernice walked over with a faint smile, "Mr. Nelson."
"I called you this morning, and you didn't answer." Lucas flirtatiously brushed her hair behind her ear, "Why didn't you come to my place last night? Was filming too tiring?"
Director Emery McPherson quickly said, "Definitely not. We finished filming by seven last night. Don't worry, Mr. Nelson, we wouldn't dare tire Bernice out."
"Emery, I'm not that delicate. Since I decided to be an actress, I'm not afraid of hard work." Bernice explained with a light smile, "Besides, with this little bit of hardship, I earn much more than the average person. What right do I have to complain?"
Emery nodded awkwardly, "Bernice, you have such high awareness. No wonder Mr. Nelson values you."
"Of course, I have good taste."
Lucas gently wrapped his arm around Bernice's waist. Though he was smiling, his deep eyes held a hint of coldness. "Come, accompany me to the lounge for a bit."
"I—"
"Go on, go on. We'll shoot Cecilia's scene first. You can come back in an hour." Emery was very tactful.
An hour should be enough to finish whatever they needed to do.
Bernice's face stiffened, but Lucas seemed in a good mood, "Thank you, Emery."
"It's our honor to have Mr. Nelson visit our set."
Lucas forcefully pulled Bernice into the lounge, slamming the door shut. She leaned against the door, and Lucas's hand was on either side of her.
"Bernice, you're quite something, daring not to answer my calls." Lucas freed one hand to grip her chin.
Bernice's cold eyes met his. "Mr. Nelson, have you forgotten why I slept with you? Because you threatened me. Now, Michael is a fool, Megan has been sentenced, and I've gotten my revenge. I don't need to deal with you anymore."
Lucas narrowed his eyes, "You don't care about the lives of your subordinates? Or are you not afraid of ruining your reputation with kidnapping?"
"I can always quit being a star." Bernice spoke indifferently, "Mr. Nelson, haven't you had enough of sleeping with me? The entertainment industry is full of beautiful women. Don't you always mock me in bed, saying I'm like a dead fish?"
Lucas looked down at her cold eyes.
His mind flashed back to Nina's gaze from long ago, combined with what Megan said yesterday.
His heart tightened a bit.
