Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 33

The crowd was shocked.

As soon as Pearl heard the voice, her face froze. She looked at the source of the voice, and saw the familiar figure surrounded by people.

He was tall and attractive. Dressing in a straight black suit with deep and calm facial features, his eyes were cold and happened to be looking at her.

"Mr. Zellweger..." Evelina's face turned pale slightly.

She still remembered that on her birthday party, Richard defended Pearl in public. Today, it happened that they come here together, which made her nervous.

"It seems that the actor has the power in crew" said Richard with a cold face and a cold voice. "Even can decide a staff's future?"

The producer's face changed and said, "Of course not, this is a misunderstanding."

When he was saying, he quickly winked at Evelina. "Right, Evelina?"

Evelina cared her reputation the most, especially among the crew members. Apart from the director, she didn't care anyone else. Her hard established prestige has disappeared, and her face is red with embarrassment.

"I'm just discussing the script with the medical consultant of the crew. I'm a little excessive. Sorry."

The producer let out a sigh of relief and said, "See, Mr. Zellweger, it was just a misunderstanding. They were discussing the script."

"Really? What were you discussing? Tell me about it." Richard asked.

No one expected Richard to pursue the matter further.   No one expected that Richard would care this matter so much. It made people stunned enough that he, an investor, took time off to visit the set. His time was precious, after all.

Everyone was surprised. Those around Pearl started to look at her with meaningful eyes.

Evelina panicked for a moment and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was suddenly deadlocked.

The air seemed to be freezing, and people around did not dared even to breathe.

Pearl frowned. She didn't want to make things to a big deal. So she clutched the script in her hand and explained, "It's a secne in the operating room. I said that few doctors wear high-heeled shoes. But Evelinafelt that drama and reality still need to be distinguished and can't be fully life-oriented, so we had different opinions about it."

Evelina didn't expect that Pearl was going to help her. She was stunned for a while. After seeing the producer winking hard to her, she quickly answered, "Yes, Mr. Zellweger, that's the case. Now I think I'm not considerate enough. I'll listen to Dr. Yonng in the future. After all, she's professional."

Although she said that, she was definitely unwilling.

If it weren't Richard, she would never concede to Pearl. It was a humiliation to her. 

She thought that would be the end, but Richard said, "isn't the medical consultant in charge of the medical profession? Why is it even in charge of what actors wear?

The situation changed completely.

Pearl's heart clicked. She looked at Richard in shock.

Just a second ago, she thought Richard was here to help her out, but the aggressive words were still echoing. It was definitely not what she thought.

Evelina was also shocked, not understanding what was happening.

"Shouldn't everyone just be responsible for their own job?" Richard looked at Pearl with his cold eyes.

Pearl didn't want to argue with him. She just frowned and said nothing.

The producer next to him wanted to ease things over and said, "Mr. Zellweger is right. Everyone should do their own job well. Then we can finish everything efficiently. Ok. let's have some rest. Mr. Zellweger has brought snacks for everyone. Pass them around."

Pearl's eyes glanced behind Richard and saw several assistant carrying coffee and desserts in their hands. It was obvious that he was there to visit someone.

"Was he here to visit Evelina?" She thought.

The people on set were busy handing out the food. Evelina was close to Richard and whispering something to him with the script in her hands. She looked like she was pouting to him.    

Pearl was not far from them. Seeing the two close people, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Wasn't Richard going to marry Adriana? Why didi he get involved with Evelina?

Never mind. It was none of her business.

She clenched the script in her hand silently and said to one of the staff members, "Walter, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving."  

Two children were still at home, she had to go home earIier.

Without waiting for the staff to speak, a thin cold voice came from a distance, "I just arrived, and Dr. Yonng Is in a hurry to leave. Do you have any opinions on me?"

Pearl looked pale and hard, and said, "I have something to do at home."

"The filming is still ongoing. The actors and directors haven't left, and the medical consultant can get off work on time?"

"But..."

I don't want to know the reason." Richard glanced at her coldly. "It looks like the filming crew has to consider hiring a new medical consultant. Someone who can't follow the schedule isn't fit for the filming crew."   

After these words, Pearl's face turned pale instantly.

This job was her first job since she stopped working. She might be able to go back soon if she could do it well. However, Richard had brashly declared that they would find somebody else to replace her. If Mr. Watson knew this, he would probably think that she did something wrong. 

"No. I am ok with the time." She hurriedly put down the script, pulled out a chair, and sat down, taking a sip of the coffee. 

Hearing them call each other like strangers, Evelina felt like there was something wrong between them.

At least, she was sure that Richard and Pearl were definitely not engaged, nor couple. After all, Pearl had just returned back. How was it possible for her to date with Richard?   

Thinking of this, she was relieved and came closer to Richard with the script. "Mr. Zellweger, there is a line that I think can be changed. How do you think?"

 Her arm was almost completely attached to Richard's. They were so close that people would think they were a couple.

Richard frowned slightly, and his eyes swept the figure on the chair in the distance. Instead of pushing away Evelina, he agreed with her, "You've changed it well."

"There's another line here. Maybe you can take a look." Evelina's eyes lit up, and she got more and more insatiable. 

Lowering her head, Pearl tried to push herself avoid looking at them. However, she felt like the dessert in her mouth was too bitter and that she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Dr. Yonng, are you ok? Why do you look so terrible?" A staff member asked her out of concern.

Pearl smiled. "I'm fine. I'm just going to the bathroom."

The water in the bathroom was splashing. Pearl wiped her hands. The face in the mirror was a little pale. She took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, trying to adjust her mood back to normal.

"You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Otherwise, you always think too highly of yourself! Stop daydreaming that Richard would fall for you."    

A sneering voice came from behind, and every word was poking her heart.
