Joanna, you were really... ruthless.
After half a year, your heart was even crueler than before. Didn't you even want our son?
Cedric really wanted to lose his temper and got angry, but he suppressed his unhappiness.
After a long time, he finally calmed down and continued to work.
"Did you go to the Xi's Group today?" When having lunch at noon, Earl looked at Joanna with malice and asked.
Lynn nodded faintly and said, "Because the Xi's Group is the biggest investor of the new TV series. About the selection of leading players, I have to go there personally."
"How was it? Did he hurt you?" Earl looked at Joanna and said worriedly.
Looking at Earl's worried face, Joanna was in a trance. She thought of Arvin.
When Arvin was alive, he cared about her like Earl. Thinking of Arvin, Joanna felt sad in her heart for no reason.
She took a breath and shook her head, "No, he seems to be different."
"Different?" Earl held his chin and looked at Joanna in confusion. When Joanna saw Cedric that day, she found that Cedric was no longer as obstinate and arrogant as before, but more like a calm and gentle scholar. She opened her mouth, just as she was about to explain, she heard Cedric's faint and elegant voice from behind.
"What a coincidence, Director Su. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Joanna and Earl turned around at the same time, only to see Cheryl walking towards them while holding Cedric's arm.
When Joanna saw Cheryl, she was a little stunned. Cheryl's expression was a little strange when she saw Joanna. But she was an actress, so she controlled her emotions well.
"Joanna, long time no see." Cheryl was more beautiful than before, and her temperament was more remarkable.
She sat next to Joanna and said to Joanna with a smile.
"Long time no see." Joanna nodded faintly.
Joanna was happy to see Cheryl, because they were old friends. However, because Cedric was there, Joanna did not show too much joy.
"Would you mind eating together, Joanna?" Looking at Joanna, Cedric raised his handsome chin and asked.
Joanna shook her head and said, "Of course not."
Then they begun to eat speechlessly. No one said a word throughout the whole meal, and the atmosphere was awkward. Cheryl's words broke the stiff and strange atmosphere.
"Joanna, I heard that you're the director of the new TV series. Hope to get well along with you."
Could it be that Cheryl was an actress of the TV series?
Joanna raised her head and glanced at Cedric.
Cheryl's name wasn't on the list that she had discussed with Cedric Xi.
"Cheryl thinks that she is very suitable for the supporting actress, so I replaced the original actress with her."
Hearing Cedric's words, Joanna had a complicated feeling.
She felt that the relationship between Cheryl and Cedric had become very subtle after she came back to Beijing.
In the restroom.
Joanna gently washed her hands. Looking at herself in the mirror, she lost in thought. It was not until Cheryl came over that Joanna came to sense and turned off the tap.
Cheryl looked at Joanna with a smile on her face, "Joanna, why didn't you tell me when you come back? You left alone half a year ago without saying anything, and you even didn't tell me when you come back. Don't you regard me as your friend anymore?"
"How come? I just came back a few days ago. I'm in charge of directing the new TV series and I plan to find you when I'm done with my work. Your have become more famous in the past half a year. I know that you are very busy and I don't want to disturb you."
"Joanna, is it possible for Cedric and you to be together again?" Cheryl looked at Joanna and asked in a low voice.
Joanna's fingers paused slightly. She glanced at Cheryl and shrugged, "Impossible! Cheryl, Cedric and I broke up a long time ago."
About Arvin's death, Joanna didn't hate Cedric anymore. But it was impossible for Cedric and her to be with each other. Joanna had never thought about being with Cedric again.
"Is that so? Then if I become Cedric's girlfriend, you won't be angry, will you?" Cheryl smiled even sweeter when she heard Joanna's words.
What did Cheryl mean?
Joanna looked at Cheryl in a daze, as if she couldn't come back to sense from Cheryl's words.
"Joanna, since Cedric and you have already broken up, you won't mind if I am with him, right?" Cheryl looked at Joanna's eyes. Maybe it was Joanna's illusion, she always felt that Cheryl was smug while she was talking.
