Ryan Campbell’s POV
In the evening, I sat at my desk, looked through the calendar and sorted out my schedule.
Seeing that it was time to get off work, I called Philip in and said, “all of you work overtime tonight. Cancel the arrangement on Saturday. I have something to do.”
Philip was just stunned. After all, such temporary overtime was a little abrupt.
It was painful for the employees to announce that they would work overtime after work.
After that, I went back to my work.
I stopped typing and took out several comic books from the drawer.
This is a gift from Jeffrey Scott a few days ago. At that time, I was wondering why Jeffrey Scott sent it to me. I have never seen such a thing.
But when I saw the person on the cover, although it was a comic, I felt familiar.
So I read the comic book slowly. It was very familiar. When I saw the pen name, I knew it more clearly.
In order to confirm my thoughts, I also checked the true identity of this pen name. There is no doubt that it is her.
I spent some time reading the comics. A lot of things happened between me and her, which made my dead heart seem to be alive again.
She remembered our past so clearly. What does it mean that she can draw it? Haven’t you forgotten me?
I can’t turn a blind eye to her as before after I found out these things. In fact, I’ve been very curious about her all these years, but I forced myself not to know.
The reason why I invested in this movie is that I want to get close to her again and see what she is thinking now. It can be regarded as a souvenir of her previous relationship.
When I thought that I would meet her again on Saturday, I began to get nervous.
In order to recuperate i had been sleeping on time these days, but I couldn’t fall asleep on Friday night.
No matter she got married or not, I decided to appear in her sight again this time, just for the clear plots in her comics. That is our past.
Irene Nadine’s POV
I was still drawing at five o’clock in the evening, and I had an appointment with Arthur Mitchell at half past five. The opening ceremony would be held at seven o’clock. Sally White was almost driven crazy, but I was not in a hurry to make up and change my clothes. I still had to go out for dinner.
Sally White couldn’t do anything to her, so she had to go with her. She didn’t mean to destroy the happiness of the three of them. She didn’t want to be the third wheel, but she was afraid that if she didn’t urge her, she would be more hesitant.
Although it was seven o’clock, most people would arrive half an hour earlier. She was one of the protagonists today, so she couldn’t be late to make a fool of herself.
Under the supervision of Sally White, the dinner was finished. Arthur Mitchell drove us there.
Since Theresa was discharged from the hospital, she seldom went out for fun. The opening ceremony was not far away, so I decided to take her out for fun. With the help of Arthur Mitchell, I don’t need to worry about her.
I’m wearing a White dress. It’s white and simple. I’m glad that I’ve dressed up according to Sally white. Otherwise, it’s definitely out of line with everything here.
I thought the opening ceremony would be held at a small press conference and everyone could make a simple announcement. So I planned to come here in casual clothes, but I thought it would end soon.
Now it was just like a banquet of the upper class. The hall was very wide, with the European style of the court. Just from the decoration, it was very magnificent.
I’m going to make a speech on the stage, and I don’t know anyone here. So I went to the lounge and read the lines again. Although I can read them later, I’m afraid that something will go wrong.
Theresa couldn’t stay in her room any longer, so Arthur Mitchell took her out and I stayed in the lounge with Sally White.
It was rare for her to be so serious, so Sally White didn’t disturb her. She observed the situation in the hall through the wide and clean window.
As more and more people gathered, the time was getting closer and closer. Sally White couldn’t help but say, “just a booting ceremony is so grand. Irene, I’m afraid you’re going to be popular.”
I raised my head, stood up and walked to Sally White. Looking out of the window, I asked, “why am I so popular? The TV series are popular, and others remember the actors and actresses in it. How many people care about who is the scriptwriter? So far, many people haven’t known my name when they read my comics.”
“It’s none of your business. It’s good that you have money. I don’t know who the sponsor is. It seems that he has spent a lot of money.”
I couldn’t help saying, “he must be rich to make so much money. Who will do a losing business?”
“That’s not necessarily true. We don’t know the effect of the TV series if they are not broadcast. Who knows if they will lose money?”
“Why are you hiding here?” before I could say anything, a man’s voice came from behind. He turned around and saw Philip Matthews coming in.
“Are you ready?”
Instead of answering her question, I asked her directly, “is that sponsor you?”
“Me?” Philip Matthews sneered, “do you really think I’ll spend money on you? You’re going to be someone else’s wife, and I’ll spend my money on you?”
I knew he was joking, so I rolled my eyes and said, “are you serious?”
“I’m not a fool. If I want to give you money, I can give it to you directly. Why do I have to make so much trouble? Do you really think I have nothing to do?”
His words made sense, but I couldn’t figure out who else would it be if it weren’t Philip Matthews.
People gradually sat down in order. From seven o’clock to one, the lights in the hall were all dark, and the music that had been playing stopped. The next second, a beam of light fell on the stage, and the host’s voice came from the horns from all directions.
She spoke fluently, generally introducing today’s content, celebrating the filming of the crew, and then introducing today’s main guests.
The first one to take part in the speech was the chief director, who was well-known, and the audience applauded warmly. After giving a speech, he stood beside the stage, and the host began to introduce the next one.
After the director and assistant director went on stage, they introduced the main characters and supporting roles.
Then it was me. I was very nervous at the backstage, and the speech draft was deformed in my hand.
Under the applause and gaze of the crowd, I stepped onto the stage in high heels. After I settled my position, I picked up the microphone and began to make a speech, roughly introducing some of the background of my creation of this comic book, “There are many stories in the comics that come from life. Some happened to myself, and some happened to my friends. I have recorded all of them. I hope I can bring the happy and sweet side of the world to you. Thank you for loving my works.”
The audience applauded warmly. Probably they didn’t expect the author of the comics to be so beautiful. Standing among a group of actresses, she was not inferior at all, and even more eye-catching.
The host took over the speech. I thought it was over, because I was the last person to make a speech on the stage on the list.
Unexpectedly, the host said, “next, there will be a mysterious guest. He is the core figure of our plan and the biggest investor…”
The host seemed to have the habit of pretending to be mysterious. Looking at the curious eyes of everyone, he deliberately paused for a few seconds before he opened his mouth again and solemnly introduced, “Ryan CampbellMr. Campbell! Welcome!”
Accompanied by thunderous applause off the stage, I was completely stunned. My eyes subconsciously looked at the focus of the crowd, but my mind was noisy.
It’s not because of the discussions and screams off the stage, but because I didn’t expect to meet Ryan Campbell in such an occasion.
And there was no sign at all, and there was no news about him on the invitation list.
I didn’t expect that Ryan Campbell would read this comic book, nor did I expect that he, who had always paid attention to business, would appear in such an occasion. The host just introduced him as the biggest investor this time
Is he the one I have been curious about?
As soon as Ryan Campbell walked towards the center of the stage, his eyes fell on me. The moment our eyes met, I quickly looked away as if i got an electric shock.
I don’t know how to face him. What’s around me now is inexplicable emotions.
On the one hand, the main character of the comic book was him. I didn’t know if he had discovered it, and Theresa was also here. i was afraid that Ryan Campbell would see Theresa
Ryan Campbell withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “I just want to say a few words. Just now, Ms. Nadine said that most of the content of this comic book came from her life. Coincidentally, I saw my past in this comic book, which is also the reason why I invested in this TV series.”
I’m afraid only I can understand what he said, but even if others can’t figure out what it means, they can feel a little different.
Before everyone could react, he gave the microphone back to the host. Before the host could react, he paused for two seconds and continued, “everyone, welcome Mr. Campbell again!”
The audience, who had just been quiet, became active again. The applause was even more enthusiastic than the appearance of the hero and heroine just now.
Although Ryan Campbell was not a member of the entertainment circle, his existence was obviously more high-end than that of the A-list stars He was famous, but he was too mysterious. Many things were unknown to others. The more people didn’t know, the more curious they would be.
Besides, it was rare for Ryan Campbell to appear in public like this. Even if he did, he must be at a business seminar. Therefore, his sudden appearance here was enough to make everyone excited.
It made me even more confused. I didn’t come to my senses until I stepped down the stage.
When I went backstage, I saw Sally White. I looked around but didn’t see Ryan Campbell. I didn’t know where she was going. I asked anxiously, “where is Theresa?”
“What’s wrong? It’s just a statement. Why are you so scared?”
“Where is he? He must leave here in trouble.”
