Chapter 360:.
Hearing what the assistant director said, Alice and Yanis exchanged a glance.
As Yanis was about to nod, Alice stopped her action with a smile and explained in a soft voice, “Sorry, I guess I don’t have much time to accept other assignments lately.”
“So… Can I have your card? That way I can contact you in case you have time.”
Being so considerate, Alice couldn’t say anything else and gave Yanis a glance.
Immediately, Yanis pulled out his card and handed it to the assistant manager, “I’m Yanis, Alice’s assistant.”
“Well, are you leaving already?”
“Yes.”
After saying goodbye to the assistant director, Alice and Yanis left the set.
To their surprise, the cab driver hadn’t left and waved at them as they got out.
Alice stopped and then walked over to the driver with Yanis.
“Sir, it looks like he hasn’t left, has he?”.
“No, I’m waiting here to see if any actresses are going to catch a cab. But I didn’t expect you to stay just a few minutes in it.”
Alice thought for a moment and said, “We’re going back, do you mind giving us a ride?”
“No problem.”
After they got into the cab, Yanis held Alice’s arm tightly and said, “It’s so unfortunate that this order is cancelled, I won’t be able to look forward to a bigger year-end bonus anymore. That woman is so arrogant and rude, although she looks gentle and polite on the screen, aren’t you afraid we will expose how she really is?”.
Alice glanced at him and said, “You can try it and see if the netizens believe you or their idol. The result is obvious.”
Hearing that, Yanis said in an indignant voice, “I’m desperate for that world that only judges pretty faces! But, as the assistant director said, why aren’t you an actress? Your pretty looks will undoubtedly lead you to success in show business. At that time, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant in front of you.”
“No, thank you. I’m not interested in being an actress. If you are interested, you can be an actress.”
“I would if I had your looks.”
Saying that, Yanis couldn’t help but complain with folded arms, “If I had your wisdom or your looks, I wouldn’t be your assistant now. ”
“So you’re reluctant to be my assistant, are you?” Alice shot him a look.
“Of course not.” Yanis replied with a guilty laugh.
“But he was so active in inviting you that he even asked for your card. Being an actress might be a good option for you if you don’t want to be a designer anymore.”
“No way.”
“Why?”
“All those actresses are young. I’m too old and I don’t want to be looked down upon.”
“You’re right. You’re past thirty. But you have a deceitful face. You can lie to others about your age as many actresses have done.”
“Stop thinking nonsense. You can recommend yourself to the assistant director if you want to be an actress.”
Yanis immediately grabbed Alice’s arm and shook his head.
“No! Show business is too complicated for me and I won’t compromise for any script. I will never be an actress.”
Hearing what Yanis said, Alice pulled her hand away and said, “So you don’t want to be an actress and you do want me to be one?”
“That’s different. You are very beautiful and you have been invited. And I can be your agent if you become an actress.”
“……”
Alice was too angry to say anything else with Yanis. So she didn’t answer. After a while, the cab arrived at Ruixin Community.
Alice had intended to return to the Nelson Family in B-town a few days later, considering that Kate was also going to B-town. But since the order was cancelled, Alice didn’t have to go to City B.
Therefore, she intended to consult with Zain to delay the time to return to the Nelson Family.
However, after hearing what she said, Zain scoffed and ordered her to return to Jack the next day.
“It’s too urgent. I haven’t even bought the tickets.” said Alice.
“I’ll come pick you up tonight.” Zain replied.
“Don’t.” Alice said.
“It doesn’t matter. It’ll only take a few hours.” Zain said, though he sounded tired.
Alice was worried about him, since he was her brother and he was very nice to her. So she finally gave in.
“That’s fine. Jack and I will get up early tomorrow and take a cab to B-town.”
Zain was silent for a moment and then replied with satisfaction, “I’ll ask Sebastian to pick you up.”
“Shouldn’t we get there by cab on our own?” asked Alice.
“You’ll get stuck in traffic. Come over tonight. I’ll ask Sebastian to pick you up later. Then you can get ready to leave after a short break after dinner.”
“Don’t push your luck, Zain.” Alice warned.
In this case, he wouldn’t even get a good night’s sleep.
Zain didn’t get angry at her warning and laughed, “Be a good girl. You can sleep well after coming here.”
After hanging up the phone, Alice scratched her hair with resignation, for Zain had a sister complex.
Or maybe she felt guilty for having the wrong person after searching for her for more than twenty years.
But according to Megan, Zain was indifferent to Diana in the past.
Maybe it was because of the kinship between her and Zain, who was so close to her.
In the evening, Yanis himself cooked the stewed fish that Jack craved. Jack touched his belly contentedly and threw himself into Alice’s arms.
“Mom, the stewed fish that Aunt Yanis cooked is delicious.”
Hearing what he said, Alice looked across the table at Yanis and joked, “What if you marry Aunt Yanis when you’re older?” Hearing that, Yanis almost choked.
“No.” Jack shook his head gravely.
“Why?”
“Are you silly, Mom? I’m only five years old. When I grow up, more than twenty years will have passed. At that time, Aunt Yanis will become Grandma Yanis and she won’t be beautiful anymore.”
