Chapter 30 – Grandpa wants to see you
For an actress who doesn’t have any fame, the closure is undoubtedly fatal, and with Centurion Entertainment being the premier agency, there is no way for her to turn around.
What can she do now?
Kelsey Long didn’t say another word, and drove intently.
Phoebe Barnes was at a loss for words when her cell phone vibrated.
She glanced at the note, subconsciously glanced up at Kelsey Long in front of her, hesitated for two seconds, pressed answer, and lowered her voice, “Hello.”
She was a little surprised that Kemp Ross had taken the initiative to call her. He hadn’t said a word to her since the last time he knew she had a miscarriage.
“Where is it now?” The man’s voice with little temperature came.
“On my way home.” Phoebe Barnes said and raised her hand to look at her wristwatch again.
He should still be working at the company now.
Kemp Ross, “Grandpa wants to see you, back over at the mansion tonight.”
Phoebe Barnes’ mind jolted, subconsciously thinking of her scandalous affair with Ann Shi.
Soon the show eyebrows and wrinkled together, grandfather grade, simply do not have the heart to go online, Bonnie Ning talkative, but the guts is very small, then only …
Genny Ross?
“Do you hear me?” The man’s voice became low.
“Huh? Oh, I see!” Phoebe Barnes snapped back to attention, pursed her lips, and asked again, “So you …”
Before the words could be finished, the other side hung up.
Her eyes dimmed, and her heart gripped a little pain.
Slowing down, she raised her eyes to Kelsey Long in front of her and said, ” Sister Long, stop right here, I’m going down for something.”
Kelsey Long froze and slowed down, “Huh? This is still a long way from where you live?”
Phoebe Barnes put her hat mask back on, “Well, I’m not going home for a while, I’m going to run some errands, you pull over to the side of the road.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t worry about you being alone, where are you going I’ll take you there.” Knowing that she was in a bad mood at the moment, how could she be assured that she was alone?
Phoebe Barnes turned her head and looked out the window, “No, Sister Long, don’t you have to go back to the office and ask for clarification for me? Go ahead and make sure you give me an answer tomorrow.”
Kelsey Long pulled the car over and looked back at her, “Sure you don’t need a ride?”
“No need!” Phoebe Barnes waved at her as soon as she got out of the car and turned to hail a cab.
Kelsey Long also stopped insisting that it was imperative to get down to business.
Phoebe Barnes was in a jittery mood the whole way, wondering if her grandfather had let her go back to the house because of her affair with Ann Shi.
“Young lady, you’re back?”
In the Ross family’s ancestral home, Phoebe Barnes is greeted by the maid as soon as she arrives.
“Where’s Grandpa?” She stroked her wind-blown hair, her expression returning to calm.
“Missy is accompanying the old gentleman for a walk in the back garden.”
Walk?
Phoebe Barnes’ heart sank slightly.
Isn’t Genny Ross supposed to be in school right now? What is she doing back here with so much time on her hands?
Without thinking much about it, she turned around and went upstairs to change into a house dress and rushed to the back garden.
As soon as Phoebe Barnes walked in, she saw Master Fu laughing with Genny Ross in the pavilion, both of them smiling.
The old man’s pale face is full of spirit and seems to see no gloom.
Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and walked in, calling out good-naturedly, “Grandpa.”
“So, Phoebe’s back?” The smile on Mr. Ross’s face deepened when he saw her, and he raised his hand to greet her as she sat down, “Come, come, sit down over here.”
Genny Ross saw this back and forth attitude change of old Mr. Ross, his heart was a bit tasty, secretly gritted his teeth, and then raised a sweet smile, “Hello sister-in-law, just talking to big brother, sister-in-law arrived, so fast.”
Phoebe Barnes twitched her eyebrows and looked at her with a light smile, “I just got home from work and came straight here when I got the call.”
The Genny Ross she knows, the happier she smiles, the deeper the calculations in her heart, although only eighteen years old, but in the middle of this mansion, she is more than twenty-eight years old will play.
But the reason she hates herself so much is because she thinks she’s too high up in the Ross family to be worthy of Kemp Ross, and because she’s stealing her grandfather’s affection for her.
Phoebe Barnes is very understanding, that’s why she doesn’t bother with her every time.
Genny Ross took a piece of dried fruit from the fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth, tilting his head and pretending to be curious: “I heard from the Internet that this drama by my sister-in-law has many big names in film and television? Is that right?”
Phoebe Barnes frowned, raised her hand to refill the tea cup in front of the old man, hiding her expression, and said lightly: “Yes, there are some, Genny, if you like it, you can take a good look at it when it is broadcast.”
“So does sister-in-law have a lot of scenes? If it’s a big hit when it airs, won’t sister-in-law become even more popular?” Genny Ross pretended to be ignorant and blinked his crystal eyes at her, his white and clean face was as innocent as it could be.
Phoebe Barnes’ fingers tightened slightly as she squeezed the cup.
Knowing full well her curiosity in the circle, and knowing full well that she is only playing a small supporting role, but still deliberately brought up the topic in front of grandpa, it seems that there are pits waiting for her below.
She took a small sip from her cup, her expression did not change, and smiled gently: “I am not the main actor in this drama, there will not be many parts.”
If she knew she was killing herself early today, she would probably laugh at her again in a different way.
Genny Ross blinked his eyes several times and seemed a bit dumbfounded, then suddenly hugged the old man’s arm and said softly, “Grandpa, look, sister-in-law is so hardworking and good-looking, why didn’t those directors let her be the main actress? It’s too unfair, right?”
Mr. Ross old man instantly laughed aloud and nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, grandpa all give forget, Kemp know this business will have a lot of people, grandpa turn around and talk to him, this time he does not listen again, I will break his legs.”
Phoebe Barnes blushed and hurriedly pulled the old man’s clothes and said with a stiff smile, “Grandpa, you mustn’t do that, Kemp is so busy, I don’t want to cause him any trouble, besides, I’m starring in the next few plays, I don’t need him to do that.”
Fear that he will really do so, she can only lie first perfunctory, she is now all the notices are removed, the back of what the situation is not yet known.
Genny Ross raised an eyebrow meaningful smile, “sister-in-law, grandfather is also for your own good, you said that with the help of brother, you in the entertainment industry will not be smooth sailing, which also use three days to speculate on scandal what?”
Phoebe Barnes looked tight, dark eyes fell on Fu tight face, heart some cold.
The reason for this is to bring up the scandal between her and Ann Shi, she really took the trouble to set the stage.
Genny Ross stared at her fearlessly, with a heavy dose of sarcasm in his eyes.
Mr. Ross sighed and looked at Phoebe Barnes and said warmly, “I can see that you like this business, but if you and Kemp are so busy, how will you have time to spend together? When are you going to give me a new grandchild? Wouldn’t it be less work for you to have him to look after?”
Phoebe Barnes stiffened for a few moments, with some mixed feelings in her heart.
