Come With Me novel Chapter 52

Mike's eyes twinkled and even I could tell he wanted to accept her suggestion.

"How much is the sponsorship?"

Michelle raised her chin slightly and said confidently, "all of them!"

Pleasantly surprised, Mike asked flatly, "What about other plays of you? I'm afraid it won't adjust at all."

Michelle gave a thoughtful smile. "I need a substitute whose figure is similar to mine to act in the movie for several days. It's the best if the actress can be shot. If not, I can terminate the contract. Anyway, the shooting environment of that script is very ordinary and hard. If it is not for the still movie to be displayed every year, I really don't want to accept it. Now I get the limelight, and it's easier to make a good TV play to be popular."

Michelle raised her head and noticed that I was in the room.

When she looked at me, I felt somewhat uneasy, just like a thief who had stolen something from her and felt guilty when I saw the person who owned the thing.

Michelle stood up and circled around me with a look of interest.

"Who is she? I haven't seen her before, a new girl? "

"She is indeed a new employee. She signed the contract when you came in just now."

Michelle looked at me with a smile. "What did you take before?"

I avoided her eyes uncomfortably. "I think I haven't taken any pictures."

"Graduate from the acting major?"

"No, I've never learned it."

"Good at singing and dancing?"

I shook my head awkwardly. "I don't know either."

Michelle looked back at Mr. Xia and sneered, "The company is really getting bolder and bolder and dares to use any person. Does it only depend on the face now?"

Mr. Xia looked at me and then turned to Michelle. "Don't you know her?"

"Why should I know her?"

"I thought you knew her, so I didn't ask her to leave. She was introduced by Rosie. I thought you would have seen her."

Michelle frowned and looked back at me. "You know Rosie?"

"Yes, I know her."

"What's your relationship?"

"A friend."

Michelle pouted, "Since when has Rosie become so nosy? She's making a false countercharge against me."

Michelle stood beside me and said, "Never mind. After all, I will be Rosie's sister-in-law. I have to show respect for her. Since she is one of Rosie's good friends, please take care of her, Mr. Xia."

Mr. Xia smiled. "Of course."

"Look at us! Are we similar in height and figure?"

"That makes sense," Mr. Xia remarked, nodding approvingly.

Then, I can give a chance to Rosie's friend. It just happens that my previous stand in for her has resigned. As for my bad script, after kicking on, let her take the place of me to shoot a few scenes, as a compensation for her training. After all, she has no experience after all."

Michelle looked sideways at me and asked "And you? Are you willing to do that?"

"I will follow the company's arrangement."

Before Mr. Xia could say anything, Michelle said, "It's settled then."

Michelle went to the door of the office and asked Mr. Xia with her hand on the doorknob, "About what I just said, do you need time to consider?"

"If you can really get all the sponsorship, of course it's no problem, I don't need to think about it."

"Okay, it's settled."

With that, Michelle opened the door and left.

Looking at the closed door, I was in a daze for quite a while.

"What are you thinking about?"

I wouldn't have come to my senses if Mr. Xia hadn't asked me.

"Nothing. I just met Amy for the first time. I didn't expect her to be more beautiful."

Mr. Xia smiled. "Your flattery should have been said when she was still here. It's useless to say it to me."

"Well, Mr. Xia, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll take my leave."

"Well, go ahead. But you are also a friend of the Luo family. Don't tell others what happened just now. Besides, don't think it's a bad script. It's just a TV play of the time when people know the younger generation, which is a good play. But nowadays, this kind of play is rarely seen in the cinema. It even needs to wear the large flowery jacket and cotton pants before the movie was on. Amy didn't know when she watched the TV play later, and she thought the script was not good for her image, so she began to get angry at that time."

"I know, Mr. Xia. Don't worry."

Mr. Xia nodded. "Go ahead. Ask Lucy to go with you. She will know."

After I left Mr. Xia's office, Lucy took me to the human resources department and helped me complete all kinds of procedures. I got my first work permit.

"If there is no work, you should come to the company according to the rules. If there is anything, you need to ask for leave in advance."

"I see. Thank you, Lucy."

"All the procedures are done. You can go back today to adjust your state of mind. You can come here tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

I said goodbye to Lucy and walked out of the company.

It never occurred to me that I would meet Michelle there.

My happiness was messed up by the sudden meeting.

When I was about to call Rosie, a strange girl came to me. "Someone is looking for you over there. Please go for a moment," she said.

I saw a nanny van but didn't see anyone.

"Who wants to see me?"

"You'll know when you get there."

I glanced at the girl. She didn't look bad, and she didn't mean to leave. Out of curiosity, I followed her.

When the girl opened the door, I looked inside and saw Michelle sitting inside.

To be exact, I'm nervous because I'm afraid that Michelle would know the matter between me and Rogelio.

There was always a skeptical look in her eyes, but Michelle was still polite in her tone. "Get in the car and tell me."

I hesitated for a while before getting into the car.

"Where are you going? I'll drive you home. "

"Thank you. But I can go back by myself. What do you want?"

Michelle laughed. "Are you afraid of me? Why don't you look at me? It seems that you are avoiding me on purpose."

"It's the first time I see a star myself. I'm a little nervous."

Michelle didn't seem to doubt my lie. She said with a proud smile. "In fact, we are just ordinary people. Since you entered this field, you may be more famous than me in the future."

"How can it be? How can I compete with you?"

"Don't underestimate yourself. I was about to leave, but when I saw you coming out, I wanted to give you a ride. Moreover, you are Rosie's friend, so of course you are my friend."

I'm not sure if Michelle just saw me by accident, but as far as I know, the time when she left Mr. Xia's office she has already gone. Why is she still downstairs of the company after more than an hour?
