Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 How Much Did He Pay You?

Edison put down the magazine and seriously looked at her.

Her hair was thick and black, and the store manager had helped her to let it down. The long hair hung over her shoulders, making her look more fair-skinned and elegant.

Edison was satisfied with everything except for her washed-out blue sneakers.

He stood up with a frown, went to the shoe shelf, and picked a pair of high heels for her.

She took the shoes over and found the size was exactly right.

"How do you know my size?"

Edison sat back on the sofa without replying and motioned for her to change her shoes.

She sat down, took off her sneakers and socks, and put on the stiletto heels.

"Please help me pack my old clothes and shoes."

The store manager nodded with a smile and asked the salesperson to pack up the new clothes they had chosen for her as well as her old clothes and shoes.

Coming out of the store, Edison drove the car to Grande Building.

It was an elegantly decorated two-story Chinese restaurant. The waiters were wearing blue robes, and the waitresses were in bright red cheongsams. And they all looked young.

As soon as entering the antique store, Gwenyth had the illusion of traveling through time and space.

There was a round pool with gurgling water at the entrance. Inside was a fish-shaped stone sculpture. Green algae plants were floating in the pool, and many ornamental fishes were swimming.

Seeing her looking around as if she had never seen the world, Edison stepped forward to hold her hand, put it on his arm, and said, "Hold my arm."

She nodded and followed him inside.

It was not the first time he had come here, so he refused the waiter who offered to lead the way. He passed the lobby with ease, turned into a long and quiet corridor, and led her into a private room.

There were two men and two women sitting around the mahogany round table. And Gwenyth saw a familiar face.

Nancy was here. Edison's "business entertainment" seemed to be related to Nancy every time.

Nancy was stunned to see Gwenyth. After sizing her up with her eyes, she instantly showed a cold look.

"Mr. Yates, good evening."

The two men hurriedly got up to greet Edison. After they pulled out two chairs, Edison took Gwenyth over and sat down.

Hearing their polite small talk, Gwenyth had a general idea of who they were.

The woman sitting next to Nancy was her assistant Estella Anderson. And the two men were the director and producer of her new drama.

And Edison was the investor.

When Edison introduced her to them, he directly said she was his girlfriend.

The director and producer were quite surprised to hear this and quickly exchanged glances with each other. Nancy was the heroin of their new drama, but she had just broken up with Edison. And Edison had brought his new girlfriend to this dinner. So, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became a little embarrassing.

Edison indifferently said to the producer, "Since it is a business dinner, why did you bring an actress here?"

Nancy's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little flustered.

She was afraid Edison would deliberately make things difficult for her and kick her out of the drama. She knew him well and would not feel surprised if he did such a thing for real.

The producer said with a flattering smile, "Mr. Yates, I can let them go if you want."

Edison expressionless replied, "No need."

When the producer breathed a sigh of relief, Edison asked, "Have you decided on the actress of the heroin?"
