042 Another Uninvited

Scarlett's POV

| think Granny heard me. In fact, | think half of the party heard me. But Granny is not the kind of person that

would embarrass you in public, and | dare not to bring it up. myself - | just yelled at her beloved grandson, and

now my ears are burning. | don't even know what | could say IF she asked. We have never fought in front of

Granny before.

"How are you doing recently?" Granny chats withcasually, leading the way among the crowd, nodding and

returning smiles from tto time, "Sebastian mentioned something about a new job?"

| sneak a glance at Sebastian, and he rolls his eyes all the way to the ceiling.

So he "complained" something about a new job. No doubt it's because of Adrian.

"It's because my...hmmm, Mom, mentioned Richard Hanson the other day," | try to find my words to skip the

crazy mess that happened recently without lying...too much, "and I thought maybe | could give my script a try."

"Ohh, you wrote a script?! How wonderful!" Granny exclaims with a supportive smile, her eyes with genuine

happy sparkles, "How cyou have never mentioned something like that?!"

| finished college and got a Fine Art degree, but that was it for my art career. Building a family is not easy, and |

wanted to put more energy on my "marriage". Effort in vain.

"It's...a story that | have been grinding on for a long tnow," | shrug, "it just wasn't ready."

"And you didn't want to make it with your husband as the ladder, huh?" Granny nudgeslightly. | can't tell if

she is mad atfor going to Adrian. | mean, Adrian IS their business enemy.

"Adrian is a good boy," Granny nods and continues as if she wasn't expecting an answer fromanyway, "He

always had high ambitions, longing to exceed his father's achievement. Ohhh, | heard that he somehow got

James Deep under his command! Very impressive! It takes your script, remember to ask for him from your new

boss!"

James Deep! The brightest rising star of directors in town, fastest, might | add. He

dropped out of college because "they have nothing to teach me", and

his father was the sole sponsor for his first movie directed. At that time, everyone thought him a joke burning

daddy's money for fun, but that movie got a 10000% profit rate and got three award nominations, winning two of

those. "Of course | will put Deep on her story...Granny."

| wheel around, only to see Adrian's grin right behind me. Given Sebastian's look, it seems that he has

been following us for a moment. But why is he here?! Isn't he the " nemesis" of Sebastian?! Not to mention |

never even invited him! Exactly how many unwelcomed got in today's party?!

Seeing my apparently shocked face, Adrian laughs out loud.

"Granny, | can't believe you didn't tell Scar about me!" Adrian complains with a faux frown, "Am | not your best

friend anymore?"

Best...friend?! | have never heard of such a thing!

| dart my eyes between Adrian and Granny in shock. Pretty sure my mouth can fit an egg, easy.

"Hmph!" Granny pouts, shooting Adrian a condescending snort, "Aren't you the one who abandonedfirst?! |

shouldn't have reserved your nas 'no invitation needed’ for all these years to make you beg to cback

here!"

My jaw is on the ground now. Sebastian is rolling his eyes with grumpy huffs but the pair of "best friends" both

ignore him.

"He kicked his father off the throne very young, and | kept mine for too long," Granny turns toand

immediately puts on a warm smile, explaining, "We sort of

exchanged a few moves on the business table, and he was very impressive, for a kid that young."

Wow.

"But the Iron Lady kicked my ass after all," Adrian makes a face at me, "and the worst of her is, she retired right

after! I'm pretty sure she did that just so | won't have a chance to take her down."

"You know that's not true!" Granny protests with a mischieving smirk, "Sebastian's hands were itchy to take the

wheel, that's the truth and the whole truth!"

I'd have believed her if she didn't add the "whole truth".

"Sure, sure, sure" Adrain nods indulgingly, grinning harmlessly at Granny, "and that's why I'm kicking his ass now

instead!"

Sebastian rolls his eyes again, keeping his distance from the conversation with obvious frustration.

| almost envy the genuine friendship between them. It's something so rare yet valuable in the business world,

especially from two people that are least likely to have. | want to pull this pair of precious to a table for more fun

stories, but this is the moment when a loud uproar "Who allowed a knockoff to enter!?"

| look over, and | see Lilith surrounded by judging eyes in the center of the crowd, awkwardly rubbing her dress.
