Chapter 330
Cedric sighed. “I haven’t received the script yet. It should be here in about two weeks. I’ll get it to you as soon as possible.”
“Alright. Thank you on behalf of Jamie and Teddy. Of course, I’m also really grateful to you,” Lila said with a light smile, her eyes curving up like a blooming peach blossom, radiating the warmth of spring. She waved her hand and turned to leave.
After a busy afternoon, she exited the office and saw Amelia waiting outside Magi Pictures in her colorful sports car. As soon as Amelia saw her from afar, she got out of the car and waved happily.
Teddy popped his head out from the back window. “Ms. Hart.”
She walked over quickly. “Why are you both here together?”
Teddy was usually always with Jamie, wasn’t he?
“Vince and Jamie are waiting for us at Azure. We’re here to pick you up,” he said, looking like an excited puppy, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
Amelia kindly opened the passenger door for Lila. “Get in.”
As the car engine started, Lila suddenly remembered to ask, “Azure? Isn’t that a bar? Are we celebrating something?”
“It’s not a celebration. It’s a farewell.”
“Huh? Who’s leaving?” Lila was momentarily confused.
“Hehe… It’s your singles farewell party.”
Lila’s mind went blank. What? What was going on?
Seeing her stunned expression, Teddy couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Our group is having this party because you’re the one getting married…” he started but was interrupted by Amelia’s amused laugh.
She laughed and explained, “Don’t listen to him. It’s just that everyone has some free time, so we decided to have some fun. However…”
She paused dramatically. “We’re also trying to help you relax before the wedding. We know you’re probably feeling anxious Mr Morgan may seemcold outside, but that’s just how he is with others. With you, though, we all know it’s different.
“He definitely won’t restrict you, and whether you’re married or not, it probably won’t affect you much.”
She thought momentarily and added, “If there is an effect, it’s probably on your mindset. You used to call him Uncle Kieran, and now… you’ll be sharing a bed with him.
“Ugh… That’s a tricky one! But speaking of that, when you’re married where are you going for your honeymoon? Are you having kids? Can I play with them after they’re born?”
Lila had been listening to the conversation, thinking it was normal until the last part made her choke.
Wait, what? Why was Amelia bluntly talking about sharing a bed? And what was all this about kids? Didn’t that mean…
Lila coughed awkwardly and quickly tried to change the subject. “Um… The drinks are on me tonight.”
“What are you treating? With Mr. Lane around, you think you’ll get your turn?” Amelia, who was easily swayed, clicked her tongue in mock annoyance.
That allowed Lila to steer the conversation elsewhere. “By the way, what’s going on with you and Vince? Is it a marriage alliance or something?”
“Marriage alliance, my foot!” Amelia fumed as she recalled Benjamin, so much so that a curse slipped out.
“You should know better than anyone what Vince is thinking…” She stopped mid- sentence, realizing something wasn’t right.
Although everyone could tell Vince had feelings for Lila, she was about to get married. They couldn’t discuss his intentions now.
Realizing her mistake, she quickly
corrected herself. “Do you think l would need a marriage alliance? Are we really
We
supposed to be scrambling
to curry favor with the Lane Group? I’d rather choose Teddy over Vince.”
Teddy, who had been happily sitting in the fancy car, was suddenly called out. He immediately leaned over.
“Amelia, I’m not good enough!”
