A Film Queen

Chapter 108 The Evil Capitalist Listening to the flattery on the video conference, which was completely out of context, made Milly's nerves completely collapse. Her face turned bright red as she buried herself in her bed like an ostrich, hiding her head under the pillow.

This is too embarrassing! It's more embarrassing than forgetting to zip up my pants at a concert! George chuckled as he watched her bury her head in the pillow. He worried she might suffocate and quickly ended the video conference. George said, “Alright, that's all for the meeting. Report the details to my assistant, Mr. Jarvis," After he closed the tablet, he walked over to the bed, saying, "The meeting's over. You can get up now." Milly peeked out in grievance. After she confirmed the tablet was indeed closed, she looked at him with a mix of frustration and embarrassment, "Why didn't you you were in a meeting? I made a fool of myself because of you." This was the first tMilly showed such a vulnerable side in front of him, and George found it adorable. He liked this side of her-playful and sweet.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so early. It won't happen again," George explained earnestly.

"There won't be a next time!" Milly huffed angrily. She glared at him and commanded, "Now get out of my room. I need to change!" George didn't move. He kindly reminded her, "Are you sure this is your room?" Milly glanced around. She was about to say something when she froze..

This... really isn't my room.

Although Jordan had bookeda nice hotel suite but it wasn't this luxurious. There aren't any large floor-to- ceiling windows or a lavish outdoor pool on the balcony.

"You got drunk last night and wouldn't letleave, so I had to bring you back to my place, George explained, seeing her shock.

Upon hearing this, Milly scowled, attempting to recall the details.

Drunk? It seemed plausible.

But clinging to him and not letting him go? I don't believe it.

"Are you lying? I have a reputation for handling my liquor well." y's confidence wavered as she said this, because she had never actually been drunk before and had no idea what she was like when intoxicated.

Chapter 108 The Evil Capitalist Even without knowing it, she was sure it couldn't be as tic as he described. Clinging to his sleeve and not letting go Impossible! She felt physically ill around men and nearly threw up just being near them. Milly had shown him a lot of respect by not throwing up directly in his face.

George saw her sceptical look and raised an eyebrow, as if anticipating this reaction. He pulled our his phone, opened the gallery, and said, "I knew you'd deny it when you woke up, so I purposely recorded a video to prove my innocence." He emphasised the word 'purposely.

The phone screen showed a clear video.

Her face was red. She was sitting upright on the bed and tightly gripping George's sleeve. She looked at him tearfully and pleaded, "You can't leave. I don't want you to leave." In the video, George's wrist moved slightly as he tried to pull away. However, she widened her grew more agitated. She stood up, clutching his sleeve even tighter as tears streamed down her face. "You eyes and can't leave. Don't abandon me. You can't abandon me!" Her gaze was like someone looking at a heartless scoundrel.

Milly was utterly stunned. Was that really me, the one that crying so pathetically! Was I the shameless person who clung to George's arm? George put away his phone and looked at her meaningfully. He asked, "You have anything else to say?" The video evidence was irrefutable. She had no choice but to believe it.

Milly rubbed her nose, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide.

"Hehe. I always knew Mr. Tate was a gentleman. You see, I guessed it right.

"Mr. Tate, you're so magnanimous. Don't hold it against a drunkard like me. Could you delete the video? After all, I'm a public figure. If this gets out, how will I survive?" This is so humiliating! I couldn't think of any way to resolve the embarrassment.

And this video could fall in anybody's hands; why did this video have to be in George's hands? After she had been so mean to him, this man finally had leverage against her. He definitely wouldn't delete it.

Sure enough, George didn't directly respond. Instead, he stood up and headed for the door. His tone was vague. "Let's eat first. We'll talk about it after breakfast." Milly grumbled silently, "You're petty!" She swore she would never touch alcohol again! Never allow these evil capitalists another onnortunity to use it against her.

Die 108 The Evil Capitalist The hotel delivered them a light breakfast. After a hangover, her stomach felt like it was burning. The cereal was just what she needed.

After eating, Milly felt completely rejuvenated and full of energy.

She placed her spoon in the bowl. Her bright eyes eagerly watched George and said, "Mr. Tate, I've finished cating." George responded coolly with a grunt. Then he stood up and urged, "Get ready: I'll take you to the set." "Wait!" Milly quickly stopped him.

"Didn't you say we'd talk about the video after breakfast? I've eaten. Can you delete it now?" Milly looked at George with hopeful, pleading eyes.

George glanced down at her hopeful eyes, then sat back down on the couch. "Alright."

Milly was surprised he would agree so easily. A wave of happiness m surged through her, and her eyes lit ub reducing her usual resentment towards him.

"Mr. Tate, I never expected you to be so considerate. Earlier, I failed to acknowledge your stature and made mistakes, but instead of holding it against me, you generously forgave my errors. My gratitude for you is immense, like an unending river. You truly embody the qualities of a modern leader." She buttered him up with compliments, her voice bright and clear.

George's expression didn't change. He handed her a glass of warm water to soothe her throat after her speech.

I'm a businessman." Milly blinked, not understanding what being a businessman had to do with the video. She said, “I know,” George smiled slightly and asked, "So, what will you givein exchange for deleting the video?" Milly was taken aback.

Wow, he was really playing her.

Milly was furning- She thought he'd changed for the better and was kind. But no, he was still just as cunning and merciless.

Capitalists will always be capitalists. Even if they evolved, they'd becmore evil capitalists, not philanthropists!
