Kingsley picked up the ivory white chopsticks on the table and said in a flat tone: “You can spend the money in this card as much as you like!”
He sounded so bossy.
Kingsley didn’t treat her badly in the material aspect. At least he gave her money every month. But she had used all her money to pay the medical bills of her mother at the hospital.
Nora lowered her eyes, thinking cautiously about what to say.
“You went to the movie base just for money, didn’t you? You don’t have a job anyway. We are couples after all, and you have helped me a lot with my mother. Just take it, don’t go out and make me embarrassed.”
It turned out that he felt embarrassed by his wife going outside to work part-time!
Fortunately, Nora was used to Kingsley’s cynicism. She tilted her head, looked at the card in front of her, and smiled awkwardly, “I will find a job soon, and I still have some deposit.”
She didn’t spend all the money Kingsley gave her last time, and she still wanted to keep her dignity. Although she was well aware that dignity wouldn’t bring her wealth after so many years. Kingsley sneered, “If you have money, why did you be an extra and show your skin?”
Nora suddenly stopped breathing.
That was why they said Kingsley was horrifying. His mind was so deep and mysterious, and she couldn’t hide anything from him.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Nora would recall the insults that Vivienne had made to her. And Vivienne didn’t insult her out of no reason. There were tears in her eyes when she thought of that, “Is it wrong to earn my own money?”
The contempt and mockery on Kingsley’s face became even more obvious, “So what if they pay you to shoot for a nude scene? Will you accept it?”
Did he even know what he was saying?
Were these two things even related?
Nora squeezed her fingers: “I didn’t say that!”
“Come to me if you are short of money.” Kingsley calmed down a bit: “Anyway, you owe me a million, and I don’t mind to raise the number.”
Nora’s face went hot, “Don’t worry. I will pay it back bit by bit.”
Kingsley suddenly put down his chopsticks heavily, walked in front of her, squeezed her chin, and leaned down: “Nora, if you are so competent, just pay off the money now. If you don’t, just listen to me, understand?”
Those eyes were deep, with heavy ridicule and irony in them.
Nora couldn’t answer a word. Her eyes turned red, and she suddenly regretted that she considered him to be the life-saving driftwood and seized him when she was desperate. As a result, she trapped herself into an endless game.
Kingsley ignored her, adjusted his collar and prepared to go out.
Rachel looked at Kingsley carefully: “Sir, don’t you want to finish your lunch?”
“Yes, I’m full.”
Rachel looked at Nora with sympathy and shook her head.
The relationship the couple was really complicated. He was actually very concerned about his wife, but he just refused to express it. His temper was so bad. Which woman could feel his love?
She walked over and said to Nora, “Mrs. Baxter, Mr. Baxter is very nice. He just doesn’t know how to express himself!”
Nora smiled, “Rachel, let’s just eat!”
When Kingsley arrived at the company, his assistant Louis was already waiting for him in the office: “Boss, there is no surveillance at the movie base. It will take me more time to find out who locked the door.”
“Which crew was she on yesterday?”
“The one of Director Trevor Waterhouse.” After a pause, the assistant said, “Miss Hall is the heroine and you sponsored the film.”
Kingsley flexed his fingers, tapped the table lightly, and said, “Tell Trevor to stop shooting!”
Louis wanted to say something, but Kingsley raised his eyebrows: “Didn’t you hear my words?”
“Yes, boss!”
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Kingsley’s cell phone rang, and he picked it up. It was Vivienne Hall speaking in a confused and aggrieved tone, “Mr. Baxter, did you tell Director Waterhouse to stop shooting?”
