Chapter 114 Which Ms Burnett?
Milly paid no attention and simply thanked her as she accepted the gift.
Inside the gift box were a delicate bottle of perfume and a necklace, both looking quite valuable. It had to be said that Jonathan had a good taste.
“It looks pretty cool. I like it. Thank you, Milly said.
Stephanie was stunned by her indifferent expression. She didn’t want her thanks, she wanted to see her upset and freaking out.
Then, she angrily gritted her teeth. She just couldn’t believe it. Can she really stay so cool?
This is a gift from Jonathan to the whole crew, all for my sake. Did she have no clue about it at all?
Right then, an irritated voice rang out. “Who’s the dumbass who called for the big truck? It’s blocking my limited edition 2020 Ferrari 6.5lgts!”
They saw Oliver, twirling his car keys, muttering as he walked, “Is this filming set switched to a market now?”
His pink hair flew in the wind, adding to his already stunning appearance. Even when he seemed annoyed. his delicate face still gave off a breathtaking vibe. Plus, with his perfect proportion, everyone couldn’t help but think he was just born lucky.
As he approached, a few crew members greeted him, but he just lifted his head arrogantly, not bothering to acknowledge anyone. It was like he thought he was above everyone else.
Luckily for him, he had many fans. If it were anyone else, they’d be torn to shreds for this kind of behaviour!
His proud gaze swept around, skipping over the director, the assistant director, and even the director’s
assistant.
But when his eyes landed on Milly, they lit up instantly. He happily dashed over to her and began to show his loyalty.
“Ms. Milly, I’m here! Did you miss me, Ms. Milly? Do you want some water, Ms. Milly? Are you hungry, Ms. Milly? Are you tired, Ms. Milly? Do you need help with your lines, Ms. Milly?”
If he had a tail, it’d be wagging like crazy by now.
Milly was getting a headache from his constant babbling, feeling the urge to shut him up with a cloth!
“Mr. Oliver, you don’t have to shout. I can still hear you.”
Oliver looked at her with a sad expression, playing with his fingers. “But I’m just too excited! Oh, and my assistant knows this awesome bubble tea spot. I asked him to grab two cups. He’ll bring them over later.”
“No, thanks, Gonna get fat.”
“How come? I told them to take out the sugar, ice, milk, and tea. It won’t make you fat,” Oliver replied earnestly.
Take out sugar, ice, milk, and tea…
Isn’t that just a bowl of water?
Milly smirked, looking at Oliver’s serious expression. Suddenly, she remembered the bowl of ice he bought at the school gate. You wouldn’t believe it, but this guy really could do something as ridiculous as
that.
Stephanic stood beside them, feeling like an outsider.
Yet, between the two of them, there was a familiarity that made her feel excluded, like they were old friends catching up after years apart. It was impossible to join in their conversation.
She gritted her teeth in jealousy.
Even though Milly was just an ordinary person now, why was Oliver still treating her so nicely? Shouldn’t he be trying to cosy up to Stephanie like everyone else did?
After all, she was the Burnett family’s young lady!
Taking a deep breath, Stephanie forcefully suppressed the jealousy in her heart, plastering on a sweet smile. She handed him a gift box, saying, “Mr. Oliver, this gift is for you.”
Η
Oliver glanced at the gift box in front of him and raised an eyebrow. “For me? No need for gifts without merit. I don’t want it.”
Stephanie choked on his words.
He didn’t seem so unapproachable when he was talking to Milly just now. Why was he suddenly so cold to her?
Could it be that Milly spoke ill of me?!
That b*tch!
Stephanie hurriedly said, “Mr. Oliver, everyone has one. They’re all very popular, famous luxury items. You can take a look. I believe you’ll like it too.”
She refused to believe that there was someone in the world who didn’t like luxury items.
Once Oliver saw such an expensive gift, he would surely realise she came from a wealthy family, and surely he would immediately come over to flatter her like everyone else.
By then, Milly would be the one kneeling down to hold her shoes.
Oliver opened the gift box, somewhat sceptical.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
No reaction.
Finally, Stephanie, feeling a bit impatient, thought maybe he was just stunned. Tentatively, she asked. “Mr. Oliver, do you like the gift?”
She was already picturing Oliver gratefully accepting the gift and expressing his thanks to her.
But to everyone’s surprise, he frowned, turned the box upside down, examined it, and then earnestly asked, “Where’s this luxury item you mentioned?”
Stephanie was stunned. “Huh?
“This perfume and diamond necklace are the gifts.”
Oliver furrowed his brow, seeming genuinely puzzled. “Do you have some misunderstanding about luxury items? Can you really call these low–grade things luxury items? I thought it’d be at least a yacht key or something. Lame.
He spoke sincerely, with no hint of joking.
His tone was calm, but his words pierced straight to the heart, especially for proud Stephanie. Her expression changed upon hearing him speak like that.
While the perfume and necklace might not be top–tier luxury items, they were high–end enough to be impressive. Ordinary families couldn’t afford them, so how could he possibly still be dissatisfied?
Oh, I got it note.
Oliver must be siding with that b*tch Milly. She must have said something bad about me to him, which is why he’s got a problem with me.
“Mr. Oliver, do you have something against me? That’s why you’re saying all this, right? Actually, I’ve been a fan of your TV series for a while now, and I really admire you. It’s such a privilege and joy for me to be acting alongside you. I hope you won’t let rumours or misunderstandings cloud your judgment about me. Let’s be friends. I think we’ll get along great.”
When those sincere words were said, even Milly, sitting on the sidelines, felt like giving her a round of applause.
but
Truly, she was like a character from a story loved by everyone that shining brightly. Her way of handling people was top–notch. Not to mention Oliver, even Milly, who had seen her true colours, couldn’t help feel inclined to get closer to her after hearing this speech.
Rumours…
Is she subtly referring to me?
Oliver didn’t catch the hints, but he figured it wasn’t nice to say no outright. So, he reluctantly nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll take it.”
Stephanie’s eyes sparkled when she saw him accept it.
To her, this was the beginning of a good friendship with Oliver.
With a big smile, she was ready to butter him up even more. “Mr. Oliver, I’m thrilled you like the gift. It was picked out by my fifth brother, Jonathan.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
