Chapter 1268 Finnian Actually Sold Penelope Out
At 10 PM, Penelope arrived at the restaurant.
Inside the private room.
A portly man saw Penelope and immediately said with a smile, "The big star is here, welcome."
Penelope walked in and realized that Finnian was not there.
Her expression changed instantly.
Goodness, Finnian actually sold Penelope out!
Penelope was already standing at the door, and several investors inside the private room were all looking at her.
She was in a dilemma and had no choice but to maintain a smile as she walked in. These investors were not people she could afford to offend.
What she didn't expect was that Finnian wasn't there. She thought Finnian would be there too.
An investor came over and grabbed Penelope's hand, "Penelope, I'm so glad you could come. Mr. Harrington gave us the honor of inviting you. Please sit down, let me introduce you to these investors."
Penelope smiled and greeted each of the big bosses.
Her journey had been incredibly tough.
She knew best how to use her beautiful appearance and smile to disguise herself.
Even at this moment, looking at the few portly investors in front of her made her feel nauseous, but she still maintained a graceful and elegant smile.
Penelope was wearing a light pink dress tonight, looking fresh and pure, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and delicate makeup.
Her eye makeup tonight was in a mermaid style, giving her a dreamy beauty.
She sat next to one of the bosses, whose hand lightly rested on her leg, making Penelope feel quite uncomfortable.
She was now a top-tier actress.
Yet, she was still forced to drink with a few investors.
Given her status and popularity, this was completely unnecessary.
Even without doing this, she had plenty of roles to play and various investments.
Her works sold very well. Many people in the entertainment industry supported her and treated her with great respect, but all of this was to help Finnian.
To help Finnian solidify his position in the entertainment industry and to help him build more connections.
Penelope sometimes asked herself.
'Is this worth it?'
She had mentioned marriage to Finnian, but Finnian only wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend, not to get married.
The warmth of the hand on her thigh made Penelope feel sick, even her gums were trembling.
These investors looked at her as if she were merchandise on a shelf.
A glass of wine was handed over, "Penelope, you're late, you should be punished with a drink."
Penelope had changed her clothes and put on makeup immediately after receiving Finnian's call, how could she be late? These people just wanted an excuse to make her drink.
Penelope accepted it; she couldn't just turn around and leave now.
Finnian should be here too, just in another private room. With him here, she wouldn't get into trouble.
She picked up the glass, took a deep breath, and downed it with a smile.
After so many years in the entertainment industry, drinking was something she had become used to and numb to.
Trading drinks for resources was the simplest thing.
One of the bosses clapped his hands, "Not bad, Finnian really knows how to enjoy life, having such a beautiful actress under his wing."
Then another glass of wine was handed over, she didn't know who gave it to her, but Penelope drank it.
One glass after another.
Fortunately, these bosses only made her drink and took advantage of her by touching her leg or arm, but didn't do anything too excessive.
