I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 79

She met a gaze full of appreciation.

It was from Anderson. Catherine thought that it must be her illusion. She blinked and looked at him again, only to find the coldness. Sure enough, it was an illusion.

Catherine turned around, looked at the monitor, and continued talking about the shooting with the director.

Johanna also saw Catherine, and neither did she missed Anderson’s appreciating gaze. Her smile froze, and her expression returned to normal in an instant.

“Anderson, when did you arrive?” Johanna held Anderson’s arm. “Why didn’t you tell me before coming over?”

Anderson looked at Catherine. After their eyes met for a second, she turned around in silence and stared back at the monitor.

Her beautiful eyes had no hatred or love. She looked at him so peacefully as if she was looking at an unknown man.

Anderson frowned.

Since the man next to her kept looking at Catherine, Johanna hated her to the core while staring at her back.

She dared not to show it on her face. With a trembling voice, she said gently, “Anderson, let’s go to the lounge. It’s so cold here.”

Anderson took a down jacket from Arthur’s hands and put it on her shoulder. “Find a warm place to read the script. Practice your acting skills more. I’ve heard what the director said.”

The man she beloved pointed out that she was lousy in acting. Johanna’s face kept switching between livid and pale. After a while, she said in a grievance, “I don’t deserve Mr. Clark’s sponsorship and Miss Johnson’s script.”

After finishing her words, Johanna walked to Catherine. “Catherine, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken this role. Please don’t be angry, OK?”

Seeing that Johanna was acting so pitifully to her, Catherine was amused.

After she came over, she didn’t talk to Johanna at all. Now, Johanna said she was angry.

Others who didn’t know what had happened may misunderstand that she had given Johanna a hard time.

Catherine didn’t speak, looking at Johanna indifferently, waiting for her acting.

“Catherine, please don’t be angry. Say something, OK?” As Johanna spoke, tears almost fell.

Wyatt Liam, the director who was holding his vacuum cup while sitting aside, couldn’t bear it any longer. “Miss Scott, I don’t think you need to adjust your mood. How about we continue with the shooting? Mr. Clark is here. Let Mr. Clark show your wonderful acting skill.”

Johanna shut up immediately.

She knew well how her acting skill was.

“Director, I believe I should adjust my mood more.”

Wyatt nodded. “Go ahead and practice your acting skill then.”

He was a famous director in the entertainment business. Even Anderson was here, he had the guts to give her such a warning. After that, he greeted Anderson with a smile.

Then he continued talking about the plot with Catherine.

One was the director, and the other was the original author. They had a lot of topics to discuss.

The more he chatted with Catherine, the more Wyatt thought highly of her. “If you have any other good books, please let me know first. I’ll shoot the programs or films for them.”

“Sure, Director. I’m relieved with your promise. You represent the reputation in this circle.” Catherine smiled, looking quite easy-going.

Anderson, standing behind them, was completely ignored. Seeing that his boss look more and more annoyed, Arthur was frightened. “Excuse me, Miss Johnson. It’s almost noon. Shall we have lunch together?”

“No, thank you, Arthur. I can have the box lunch with the crew,” Catherine refused politely.

Wyatt wasn’t silly. Although he was in the entertainment business as a director, and he knew limited things about Anderson and Catherine, he could roughly guess what was going on when seeing Johanna’s attitude while she was speaking to Catherine.

He asked Catherine in a low voice, “Is he here for you?”

Catherine shook her head.

Wyatt said jokingly, “I don’t think Mr. Clark came here for being in a daze.”

“You have someone in the crew with the sponsorship. Now you know who he’s here for.” Catherine’s tone was flat. She still stared at the monitor while speaking.

“Catherine, come over.”

When Wyatt was about to say something else, they heard a cold voice behind them.

“I knew he’s here for you,” Wyatt said complacently with the vacuum cup in his hands.

Catherine turned around with a faint smile. “Yes, Mr. Clark? What can I do for you?”

She smiled quite beautifully without any irony. The smile was the same as that when she saw a stranger. It was pleasant to the eyes but without any emotion.

“Do you really have to be like this to me?” Anderson asked while being annoyed, “Mind your attitude!”

His temperament was too powerful. He had a perfectly handsome face. Even the male leading role of the crew couldn’t compare to him. Such a man was always the focus no matter where he was.

People who didn’t know Anderson couldn’t stop looking at him curiously from time to time.

Catherine stood up. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my attitude.”

‘Anderson Clark, do you think I should still like you humbly?

‘You will only feel comfortable when seeing me so humble like a dust,’ her inner voice said.

“Catherine,” he called her name deeply and hoarsely, even emanating slight tenderness.

For an instant, Catherine suddenly felt as if she had returned to their school days. He used to call her in such a way, more than once.

If she hadn’t received his response or got his tenderness, how would she have loved him for so many years?

How would she have made herself so miserable?

Rage surged in her heart. Although she kept reminding herself to be calm, whenever face Anderson, she could always hardly control her heart.

Catherine lowered her head, suppressing her emotion in depression.

She looked at him with her crystal clear full of toughness. “Mr. Clark, if you want to tell me anything, please go ahead.”

What would he want to tell her?

Anderson didn’t know at all. He just couldn’t bear to see that she was chatting and laughing with another man, sharing their common interest.

He was left alone.

Wyatt pretended to not sense anything wrong at all. He laughed delightfully, “Mr. Clark and Miss Johnson, it turns out that you know each other. Mr. Clark’s sponsorship with Miss Johnson’s original book is just a strong alliance.

“It’s noon now. How about I invite you both for lunch together?”

Catherine was about to refuse, but she didn’t think that she had done anything wrong, and why she would hide away from Anderson. She had her own pride and dignity. She had decided not to hide from Anderson anymore.

Johanna also joined the lunch following Anderson. This time, she became smarter. She just played at being cute to Anderson instead of making trouble for Catherine.

The restaurants next to the filing set were not good. They found one and sat in a private box.

Except for Elijah and Wyatt who tried to break the ice, nobody spoke. The atmosphere wasn’t that bad, but Catherine always found it difficult to breathe.

After taking a few bites, she was full. Raising her head, seeing that Johanna was picking up food for Anderson with a sweet smile. For a moment, Catherine thought that she had seen Isabella.

Something was turning in her stomach.

Catherine stood up all of a sudden. “Excuse me, Director. I suddenly recalled that I have an appointment with my boyfriend. I have to go home now. Let’s talk some other day.”

Before Wyatt answered her, Catherine picked up her coat and put it on. Straightened, she strode away from the box.

An appointment with her boyfriend?

Anderson’s face was darkened. He knew that she was going to see Ethan.
