Agnes' survival instinct told her that if she really sat next to Justin, she would be in for a hot mess.
So, she chose a spot as far away from Justin as possible.
Justin grumbled from the side, "Agnes, my girl, you've got some sass, but I kinda dig that about you."
Agnes rolled her eyes at Justin.
What does he mean by "my girl"? He needed to watch his mouth in such situations.
But everyone in the entertainment industry knew Justin's character, he loved to flirt with the female actresses. In the industry, people even used Justi’s flirting as a bragging point.
They got pretty used to it. After all, Agnes was indeed Justin's girl in the drama.
Agnes sneaked a peek at Jared, who had already turned around to chat with Ivan. He didn’t seem to react much.
Agnes let out a sigh of relief.
Soon, everyone arrived, and the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Director Zoe said a few words of thanks to Jared, basically appreciating his timely help.
He then raised his glass and said, "Let's toast to Mr. Whitfield; we will surely do our best to make great work in return."
Everyone raised their glasses. The dinner then officially started.
Agnes noticed that almost no one was really eating. Most of them were busy toasting and drinking.
The director, Ivan, Justin, and of course, the one who got the most toasts was Jared. There was a constant flow of women by his side, as one left another came.
This had been going on for several rounds already. And Agnes noticed Jared had already downed 12 glasses.
