Chapter 883: Chapter 882: Her Methods Are Much More Sophisticated

"Uncle Ford, Mr. Lawson, I’ll treat you to a meal next time," Bella Acker said, clutching her phone.

"No problem, we’ll set it up next time," Director Ford nodded.

The few of them left the teahouse together and took the elevator down to the underground garage; Director Ford and Screenwriter Lawson left first.

The call had already been cut off, so Bella had no choice but to call back.

Cynthia Young said, "I have to swing by the studio too."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Ms. Young." Bella said, "Piggy, I’ll go over to President Sinclair’s place in a bit to pick up Talia. There’s nothing else going on, so you can get off work too."

"You don’t need me to drive you over?" Judy Zimmerman asked.

"Nope, I’ll just grab a cab."

Hearing this, Cynthia handed her car keys to Bella and said, "Tell you what, you drive my car over. Judy, drop me back at the studio first, then head home."

"Okay." Judy nodded.

The call connected, and Damian Sinclair’s voice came through on the other end. "All done talking?"

"Mm, we just finished." Bella, holding Cynthia’s car keys, waved goodbye to the two of them, then got into Cynthia’s car and said, "You wrapped things up so fast today?"

"Not done yet, but Talia was hungry, so I took her to eat first."

"All right, I’ll head over now to pick her up. I’m hanging up."

After ending the call, Bella fastened her seatbelt and slowly drove the car out of the underground garage.

She was heading to Kingston Group, and the route happened to go along the street in front of the teahouse.

As she drove past, she happened to see Rhonda getting out of a car; reporters and fans immediately swarmed her, surrounding her in a tight circle. Bella could even hear, from inside the car, the reporters asking if she was going to star in Director Ford’s new drama, but Rhonda only smiled and walked into the teahouse, flanked by her assistant and manager, without answering any questions.

By saying nothing like that, even if she ultimately didn’t act in Director Ford’s new drama, she could still milk the attention, and later claim that she was only here today to meet friends and that it was all just a misunderstanding by the reporters and fans.

In some ways, Rhonda’s tactics were indeed much more sophisticated than Vivian Norris’s.

Bella let out a cold laugh, turned the steering wheel, and slowly drove past the front of the teahouse.

When she arrived at Kingston Group, Damian Sinclair was already down in the plaza holding their little girl’s hand, waiting.

Bella found a temporary parking spot and parked before walking over.

"Mommy, you’re finally here!" The little girl threw herself forward and wrapped her arms around Bella’s legs.

Bella was wearing a hat and mask. Hearing this, she smiled, picked the little girl up, and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Daddy said there’s a food street next door. Mommy, let’s go eat there." The little girl had inherited Bella’s love for all kinds of street snacks, but since Bella felt she was still young and too much of that stuff wasn’t good, she usually kept it under control.

"Okay, I’ll let you have it today." Bella tapped the little girl’s nose, her smile doting.

"Yay, Mommy is the best!" The little girl threw her hands up in cheer.

Damian said, "So the new drama is confirmed?"

"Yeah. But Director Ford is only just getting things ready. The cast isn’t complete yet, so it’ll be at least a month or two before shooting starts." Bella said, "In a little while it’ll be New Year’s again, so it’ll definitely be pushed to after the holiday."

"When are you planning to move after the New Year?" Damian said. "I’ve already had someone contact a renovation company. They can start redoing the house tomorrow, all with formaldehyde-free materials. Once it’s done and aired out until New Year, we can move in."
