Chapter 258: How Are You Going To Thank Me ?
Wendy was speechless.It turned out that Jeffrey just wanted to have free dinner.She rolled her eyes at
him.
"I don''t have money!"
She had only been in the country for a short time, and the only acting job she was able to do was a role
in the Story of Concubine Ivanka.
Moreover, she was only paid thirty percent of what she was supposed to earn Before Raymond had his
operation, he had to take a kind of drug to maintain his health.
This cost Wendy all of her money since the drug was worth tens of thousands of dors per bottle.
One time, she had to borrow two hundred thousand dors from Reese in order to pay back Ryan for
the money she owed.
However, he refused to ept it.
Now, that money remained in her bank ount.
Aside from this money, she only had a few thousand dors in her name.
Knowing what kind of person Jeffrey was certainly didn''t help ay her concerns.
He was a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
If she decided to have dinner with him, it would certainly cost her at least a few thousand dors.
"I have no money!" Wendy shook her head.
"Wendy..."
"I don''t have money!"
She spread out her hands with her palms facing up to further hammer down her point.
Seeing this, Jeffrey gritted his teeth.
"Shit! You ungrateful woman! I gave up a well-paying acting opportunity just for you! And you''re not
even willing to invite me to a meal? How stingy!’ He was seething in anger.
"Then I''ll treat you.Does that work?"
"Okay!"
Wendy nodded without a second thought.
Jeffrey clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his palms.
"Give me the address.I''ll be there once work is over."
"Call me when you''re done with your work.I''ll pick you up!" Jeffrey offered.
"Okay!"
Wendy put on her hat, mask, and sunsses before leaving.
Jeffrey exhaled a giant sigh of relief.
"Shit! The whole process might''ve been torturous, but at least I was able to ask her out for dinner
tonight!’
"Ransom!" he called.
"What?"
"Have you prepared everything I asked you to?"
"Yes."
A look of silent determination crossed Jeffrey''s face.
He was no longer going to wait! Tonight would be the night he would confess his love to Wendy! Wendy
hadn''t been to the set for ten days, but being there felt as though she had never left at all.
Outside the set, there were all kinds of media reporters waiting.
Fortunately, Wendy was familiar with the different routes that she managed to bypass all the reporters
and entered the set using a different entrance.
In the set, the staff were busy working.
No one noticed Wendy''s arrival.
The actors were gathered in groups, busy talking about the most recent trending topic.
"Have you heard that Brian and Eris have broken off their engagement?"
"Really? I thought they were very much in love? Why did they suddenly cancel their engagement?"
"In love? Ha! It''s just another lie.I don''t think they cancelled their engagement out of a whim.I heard that
for rich families, the most important factor they''re considering is reputation.Since Eris is involved in
scandals, she must no longer be eligible to be married into a rich family!"
"I heard that Brian had an interview with reporters this morning.He made it clear that he has broken up
with Eris."
"What a heartless man! Eris’ scandals were only brought to light during Wendy''s press conference
yesterday.It didn''t take long after that for Brian to announce their breakup.That was quick!"

"Exactly! Eris is a bitch and Brian is a heartless man.They''re a perfect match!"
Hearing what they were talking about, Wendy couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows.
She was surprised by how decisive Brian''s actions appeared to be.
After all, he loved Eris so much that three years ago, he kicked Wendy in the belly even though she
was eight months pregnant.
Wendy never expected Brian would dump Eris so soon.
‘Wow! I can only imagine Eris'' expression right now"
Wendy went straight to Carter.
With a speaker in one hand, Carter and the props assistant were busy decorating the scene.
"Hello, Carter!"
He squinted his eyes and looked more closely at this person before him.
"Wendy?"
She took off her hat, sunsses, and mask and smiled.
"Yes, it''s me!"
After a short pause, Carter handed the speaker to his assistant.
"Why didn''t you call me in advance? I could''ve asked the security guards to pick you up.The set was
surrounded by reporters this morning.Did you see them?"
Wendy winked at him.
"I used a different entrance."
"Ha-ha! You''re smart!"
Carter grabbed her wrist and pulled her to an open space.Then, he observed her from head to toe.
"Are you alright?"
"Everything is fine."
Carterid his hand on her shoulder and sighed.
Ever since the day of the audition, he had a good impression of Wendy.
After their recent coboration, he found himself liking her even more.
After all, she was punctual, dedicated, and a certified professional.
Moreover, she was also gentle and kind.No one could ever dislike such a girl.
‘Wendy, congrattions! You''ve gone through all the hard times."
"Thank you for not recing me!" Wendy joked.
"You should thank someone else for that."
"What?"
Wendy narrowed her eyes at him.
‘You should thank Glory Media!"
Carter didn''t want to hide it from Wendy.
"Ever since I first saw you, I felt that the role of Lady Faye belongs to you.When you got involved in
these malicious scandals, people suggested that I rece you with another actress.Deep in my heart, I
really didn''t want to.I know very well that the only person suits to take the role of Lady Faye is you!"
Wendy listened intently, clutching her chest as though she was holding her softening heart.
"At first, your scandals did bring us bad publicity.The investors pressured me to rece you.Some even
brought their preferred actress to the set! I almost gave in to the pressure! Fortunately, our biggest
investor is Glory Media.The other day, Kane called in person and told me that if you were reced,
Glory Media would withdraw all of their capital!"
Wendy couldn''t believe what she was hearing.She had no idea of all that was happening behind the
scenes.
"Carter..."
"So if you want to thank someone, thank yourpany.I can see that Glory Media views you with
utmost importance.You must work very hard in order to not let thepany down."
Wendy nodded in a daze.
"Well, get your makeup ready and change your clothes! We''ll start shooting as soon as possible.We
have to get this done quickly!"
"Okay!"
Wendy went to the dressing room with a dazed expression still etched on her face.She greeted the
dresser and they began to chat casually.
However, her thoughts were preupied with something else.
‘Kane called Carter in person.That means Ryan ordered him to do so"
A bittersweet feeling took hold of her heart.
Without intending to, she took out her phone and searched for Ryan''s number.
After staring at his profile picture for a long time, she finally typed a message.It was just a few words.
"Thank you, Ryan!" the message read.
It didn''t take long for him to send a message back.
"277" Wendy lowered her head and beganposing her reply.
"Thank you for stopping Carter from recing me with another actress!"
This time, he didn''t reply immediately.Wendy waited for her phone to light up, hoping for Ryan''s reply to
come in.
After a while, she gave up.
But before she could put her phone away, her phone buzzed.She saw a texting from Ryan.
"How are you going to thank me?" it read.
