Chapter 68
Nora subconsciously tucked her wavy hair behind her left ear, cleared her throat, and said, “Ms. Morgan, I know that you’ve misunderstood the relationship between Mr. Holmes and me. You think what the newspapers wrote is true, but it isn’t. Mr. Holmes… always keeps his distance,”
This was new. This was the first time a woman who was rumored to be with Gordon had specifically approached me to clarify.
“Is that so?”
I raised my eyebrows and put down the poached pears.
“Aren’t you always going around with my husband, Ms. Flores? How are the two of you keeping your
distance from each other?”
Nora looked awkward, and her eyes flicked away involuntarily.
“Ms. Morgan, Mr. Holmes… does treat me differently from other women, and he’s never refused to accompany me at public events, but in private, he’s very principled. Please believe me when I say this.”
Gordon? Principled?
That was even more startling to me.
Before Sabrina came into the picture, Gordon had already been in scandals with more than 20 women.
Nora was one of the women who had lasted comparatively longer than the rest.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Moreover, Gordon never touched me. If he wasn’t doing anything
outside with other women, was he a saint then?
I felt like I was listening to a joke. I couldn’t believe it.
“Did you come to see me today because Gordon told you to explain things to me?” I asked, looking
straight at Nora.
Unexpectedly, Nora shook her head.
“No. I really do want to be the female lead of ‘Desperate Love, so I wanted to have an honest
conversation with you. To tell you the truth, the reason I was with Mr. Holmes was because I wanted him
to invest in this drama for me.
“But I didn’t expect that Radglo Corporation would buy the copyright for this drama. I’m a loyal fan of ” Desperate Love‘, and I really wanted to get the part of the female lead character. I’ve even read the book more than ten times. I really hope that you can give me a chance. If you do, I guarantee that I’ll cut off contact with Mr. Holmes, Please believe me.”
So Nora really was a loyal fan of ‘Desperate Love“.
It’s no wonder she performed so well in this drama despite not having much acting skill in my previous life. She had portrayed the entire life of the female lead character very realistically.
Chapter 6
In the past life, she had gained new heights of popularity thanks to this drama and had even gone from being a C–list celebrity to an A–list celebrity. She had received several endorsements as a result, and had gotten several influential awards.
She didn’t have a good character, but she had excellent instincts when choosing her projects.
It was a mere pity that there were
mors about her and Gordon. No matter how much she humbled
herself to me, I would never give her the role of the female lead for this drama.
“Oh, I see. I wondered why my husband would personally come to negotiate for this drama. You have a great influence on him, Ms. Flores,” I said sarcastically.
I thought of that night at Almond Bay Restaurant when Gordon had personally gone to negotiate with the copyright holder of this drama. I couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
Nora looked even more awkward. She smiled in embarrassment.
“Mr. Holmes is a kind, generous man who isn’t afraid to stand up for others. However, there really is nothing between us. After you kicked me out the other day, Mr. Holmes instructed his assistant to tell me
not to contact him again.
“Ms. Morgan, I’m sure that you bought this drama because you wanted to execute it well. If you allow me to be the female lead, I will take a salary cut, and I will also do my best during the promotion period.”
Nora really was fixated on this drama. She was even willing to disclose inside information in order to
secure the role.
I had just discovered that Gordon had cut things off with her instead of blaming me after I kicked Nora
out that day.
Had he really done that for me?
