27 Chapter 27: Assurance

The next morning, Stuart did not go to work as usual. He and Edie had breakfast together. The two of them had been avoiding eye contact, and Edie immediately recalled the strange atmosphere of last night. She then thought about the message from Aaron. Stuart didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought it was a result of her shyness and was a little relieved.

The atmosphere in the morning was unexpectedly harmonious that even Stuart took the initiative to hand the strawberry jam to Edie, which made Mr. Sampson almost unable to hold back his tears. It was so different from a Mrs. Yates here! Mr. Yates was now much friendlier, and nothing like he was before. He was like a big iceberg and that no one dared to approach.

After breakfast, when Carol came over to clean up the tableware, Stuart asked Edie casually, "Where are you going today?" "I needed to go to the company because of the incident yesterday. My audition is totally ruined. I have to give an explanation to my agent and see if there is another film for me to audition for." After hearing that, Stuart frowned with his long eyebrows, and his eyes turned slightly more serious. "Do you still have to audition?" Edie didn't understand what he meant, "Of course, this is my job." "You say your job? Do you often enter this kind of atmosphere without basic protection measures?" The face of Stuart was even more unpleasant.

"The competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce, and it's already fortunate enough for me to have a chance for an audition, let alone what jobs to pick. The audition yesterday took a lot of effort for my agent to achieve." Edie thought that he must have known of the poor's suffering. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he felt that everyone had as many rights to choose from as he had. If a little star like her with no background was picky, she would have starved to death. "Don't go." Stuart rarely talked to her with such a cold voice.

Edie was stunned, "Why?" "These small filming groups can't even protect your personal safety. What if there is another accident just like yesterday?" Stuart frowned and showed a strange face of her unreasonableness.

"But if being an actress means you are going to face these risks. Besides, I have insurance." The face of Stuart was even darker, "So is it a problem of money?" "Well, money is somewhat one of the reasons. After all, I have to live..." "How much do you get from a movie? Three million? Or five million? I will pay you this money. Don't go to another audition."

The tone of Stuart was indifferent, as if this was not a big deal at all. "What do you mean?" "You need money to live, and I will give it to you, but you should not film again." Edie was irritated. "Stuart, how can you look at others so lowly? Yes, I am a small star without any big production, but this is my career! I am willing to do what I need to, even if it puts me at risk. I will take the risk! You were born with everything, and your life is smooth, which is why you are unable to understand my love for my career, but please give me some respect!"

Stuart didn't expect Edie to be so angry, and his eyes were amazed. Stuart, who had always been cold-hearted, actually tried to justify himself subconsciously, "I am not looking down on you…" Edie said very solemnly, "Stuart, our contract is only half a year, and we will both return to our lives after the contract is over, so I will not give up my career. If you cannot accept this, it's still not too late for us to terminate the agreement."

After that, she took her handbag, "I have to go." Then she left without looking back. Mr. Sampson, who witnessed the conversation between the two of them held his breath and did not dare to make any sound. How could Mrs. Yates dare to talk to Master Yates like that! He apparently felt that the pressure around the young master was a few degrees lower instantly as if there was a definite chill spreading over him. It was merely the calm before the storm!

Looking at the slender fingers of Stuart tightly seizing the handle of the coffee cup, Mr. Sampson could almost imagine the fate of the coffee cup falling apart into pieces. However, contrary to the expectation of Mr. Sampson, Stuart did not throw the cup on the ground but placed it firmly on the dining table. Stuart broke the tranquillity of the dining room. "Mr. Sampson." Mr. Sampson quickly came forward, "Yes, Master Yates." "What did I say wrong?" Mr. Sampson suspected that he had heard it wrong and was shocked that he unconsciously raised his head to have eye contact with Stuart. Then he thought that he had violated the British royal housekeeper's rule of, Not to look directly at the owner, and he quickly lowered his head. This was not his fault. He had been serving for the young master for almost twenty years and never heard Stuart say that he had done anything wrong. Who was his master? He was the heir to L.N.

An outstanding man who had the best education and had received the top education resources since childhood. He followed his father to attend the meetings of the company's board of directors since the age of six. He took over the company affairs at the age of fifteen, determinedly and straightforwardly, without any sympathy. But now, the perfect young master actually was sitting there and asked him what was wrong with his words. Mr. Sampson was feeling all kinds of different emotions."Master Yates, you are not wrong." The young master would never make a mistake in his heart. "She is furious," Stuart said. Mr. Simpson sighed slightly in his heart.

His young master was brilliant and superior, but unfortunately, it was the first time for him to have a feeling of love. "Mr. Yates, Mrs. Yates likes to act, but you don't want her to regardless of her preferences. Even if you have good intentions and want to protect her. It will make her feel uncomfortable and think that you limit her, so she doesn't understand your intentions." Stuart was starting to understand. Although his expression was still icy, it seemed that he was thinking about something. At this time, the doorbell rang, and Mr. Simpson was relieved, saying, "Mr. Yates, the secretary is here to pick you up." Stuart nodded indifferently. Carol opened the door, and the secretary walked in behind her and said respectfully, "Mr. Yates, we can leave now." "What do we need for investment in the film." The secretary, who had been with Stuart through great challenges for so many years, subconsciously approved.

Then he realized what Stuart said and screamed disrespectfully. "Okay…What are you talking about?" Mr. Yates went to Movie Entertainment just yesterday, and today he wanted to make an investment in the film. What did this mean? Why did Mr. Yates care so much about the entertainment industry? Was the company's direction really changing?

Stuart squinted and glanced at the secretary, and his cold eyes were full of hardship. "Do you have any questions?" The secretary immediately hid the expression on his face and stood up straight, and he replied with a loud voice, "No problem, Mr. Yates." Stuart thought of something and added, "Some safe filming." The secretary was in a daze. He had worked for him for more than 20 years, and this was the first time he heard him say, "safe," especially when it came to filming. Stuart ignored his reaction and had already stood up. "Let's go to the company."
