Chapter 445 The Second Son of the Reynolds Family
In the morning, after they got tired of wandering around, the two of them hit up the cinema to catch a flick.
Natalie was like, "How 'bout this one? Total blockbuster material."
Bella raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Natalie broke it down, "This movie, from the studio to the producer, director, and actors, is all about that commercial film life. It's got laughs, feels, and yeah, some parts might let you down. But it's from a company that makes blockbuster movies. Their films usually rake in billions at the box office. That's a win for me."
"Star Entertainment," Bella glanced at the distributor. "Okay, Natalie, I get it, but why does that name ring a bell?"
Natalie got serious. "It's the Reynolds family's entertainment company."
Bella's face fell. "I don't wanna watch it."
She was about to swap the tickets but realized this was the only decent showtime. The other options were two lame comedies and a kiddie animation starting in half an hour.
So, they were stuck with this one.
Halfway through, Bella admitted, "It's actually not bad."
The movie had been out for over ten days and already raked in $1.7 billion. There weren't many showings today, just this one they stumbled upon while shopping.
Natalie said, "I heard Star Entertainment is run by Nicholas Reynolds."
"Who's Nicholas?" Bella looked puzzled.
Natalie replied, "He's the second son of the Reynolds family."
Bella was shocked. "Second son?"
Natalie nodded. "Bella, with your temper, if you marry into the Reynolds family, you gotta learn patience. That family's chaotic. Heard the eldest son got sick from all the drama.""
Bella nodded seriously. "I know, don't worry about me, I'll be fine," she said, squeezing Natalie's fingers.
Natalie hoped Bella could live a happy, carefree life, but the Reynolds family was definitely not the place for that.
After leaving the cinema, Bella booked lunch at a food court on the sixth floor. They were about to take the elevator up when Natalie spotted a flower shop on the fifth floor. She dragged Bella inside and picked out a few flowers.
The shop assistant smiled and asked, "Miss, what kind of flowers are you looking for? For your room or someone else?"
Natalie replied, "For someone who's seriously ill, just visiting."
The assistant asked, "May I ask the person's age?"
Natalie replied, "In their twenties."
The assistant suggested, "We have tulip and rose bouquets, fresh this morning. Take a look."
Bella chimed in, "Why are you buying flowers? Who are they for? Who's sick?"
Natalie said, "Who else, Alice."
Bella smiled and pointed at a bouquet of white carnations. "These will do." She told the shop assistant, "Wrap up 19 stems, and hold them for us. We'll pick them up after we eat."
The assistant smiled, "Alright, ladies, enjoy your meal."
Natalie and Bella headed to the restaurant Bella had booked, a new spot with opening discounts, and it was almost packed.
The restaurant had a pretty artsy name.
Bella said, "This place is my college senior's investment. I'm here to support him."
"Who? Which senior do you have that I don't know?" Natalie asked, enjoying some tasty shrimp.
Bella looked around. The restaurant had only ten-person private rooms, with just four upstairs. The rest were open seating, with tables scattered around. The staff carried dishes around. Bella lowered her voice. "It's Harold Jones, the guy who once chased you and asked me to deliver cakes and fruits to you."
Natalie remembered. "Why didn't you tell me?"
