Actually, it was not totally impossible.
Cicely was with him now without any emotional attachment, let alone any expectations. To her, their relationship would just be a case of "using" each other.
Cicely couldn’t beat Seth in any aspect, so she was forced to settle, staying within a range that he could tolerate. She didn’t want to harbor any expectations towards Seth anymore. The only reason she could accept Seth's coercion willingly was the comfortable life he provided her, and... money.
Cicely was in dire need of money. Even though the word "money" sounded vulgar, without it, her son would be unable to see the vibrant colors in this world.
However, would Seth be satisfied with this kind of "use"?
The shooting was going smoothly, and Crysti was well-treated by the crew. She was the daughter of the Watson family from B City, this identity alone commanded respect.d2
Moreover, Crysti did not act haughty, she was very dedicated to acting, friendly towards the crew, open to advice, and nobody wanted to mess with her.
Everything was calm.
The workload and quality of other artists were gradually improving; of course, there were some who were still unable to find their direction and were stagnating, but it was all part of their journey, totally normal.
Recently, many capable agents had joined the company, and they had their own ideas about cultivating artists.
So, could she look for a manager to help her run the company, so she could focus on her pregnancy? She gently touched her belly and laughed. Yes, she should indeed spend more time on her children.
After making this decision, Chloe began collecting the preparatory materials. She was busy all morning, and before she knew it, it was noon.
When she stopped to rest and prepare for lunch, she picked up her phone to chat with Rose, asking her if she had time for lunch. She was looking forward to their days of raising children together as two pregnant women.
She thought about it, she was not exactly a responsible friend. With all the things happening recently, she'd been neglecting Rose.
Rose, “Chloe, you irresponsible person, do you still remember that you’re the father of my child? You abandoned us for someone else. I’m going to accuse you of being irresponsible and abandoning your wife and child!”
Chloe laughed. "Dear, as the father of the child, I have to work hard to earn money for his milk powder.”
Rose snorted, "Of course, the milk powder should be bought by the child's father, but it's also a fact that you're with someone else! You actually spend so much money to keep other people. Watch how I deal with you.”
Chloe was really speechless about this. After all, she had publicly declared that she was keeping Damon.
Chloe, "Okay, I was wrong. To apologize, I'll treat you to lunch today, how about it?”
Rose raised an eyebrow. "What's for lunch?"
Chloe chuckled softly, so the fact that she spent so much money on Damon was less important than this lunch? She asked, "What do you feel like eating?”
