Anna wanted to blow her top when she saw Jose staring at Laurie, but she smiled again when she thought of Laurie’s “job” later.

“Are you ready too? Then let’s go to the banquet together?”

Anna and Jose sat in the back of the car, while Laurie tactfully sat in the front passenger seat.

As soon as Laurie appeared, she exuded an alluring aura. Even the driver, who was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, took a few more glances at her.

Along the way, Anna snuggled up to Jose, and the two of them kissed intimately from time to time. Laurie felt her skin breaking out in goosebumps when she noticed their actions.

The driver occasionally gave her a sympathetic look. It seemed that he was used to such situations.

When they finally arrived at the venue, Laurie immediately got out of the car the moment it stopped.

Anna, on the other hand, was the last to get off the car after much dilly-dallying.

When the three of them arrived at the banquet venue, many eyes turned in their direction. Anna’s expression became more and more unpleasant.

Although Anna’s family was somewhat well-known in Ping City, it could not be compared to the other aristocratic families at all.

It was impossible for her to attract so many eyeballs when she appeared at such banquets in the past. It was obvious who these people were looking at.

However, Laurie was completely unaware of all of this. She knew nothing about the life of the upper class in Ping City and only thought that these people were business partners of Anna’s family.

It wasn’t until someone walked up to Laurie and started toasting her and asking about her background that she looked at Anna somewhat awkwardly.

Although Anna was not completely ignored, she was not the main character of the banquet. There were far fewer people looking for her than those looking for Laurie.

However, the moment Bob appeared, almost everyone crowded around him.

Anna, on the other hand, pulled Laurie along and rushed to the front of the group.

“Bob, long time no see.” Anna seemed to be very familiar with Bob, but Bob’s eyes never fell on her. Instead, he stared at Laurie until his eyes sparkled.

“This is the scriptwriter of our company’s film division, Laurie.”

Anna naturally knew what Bob liked, so she quickly pushed Laurie forward. “Laurie, this is the vice president of Wansen Group, Bob. Quick, say hello.”

“Hello, I’m Laurie.” Laurie extended a hand very gracefully.

The moment Bob held her hand, he felt his nerves becoming aroused.

Her skin was delicate and fair, and the feeling was completely different from the women he had slept with before. He knew at a glance that she was still a virgin.

Bob licked his lips and looked at Laurie with a burning gaze.

“You’re a scriptwriter? Your future is boundless. It just so happens that our company is also investing in movies and television dramas. Why don’t we have a good talk? There might be a possibility of collaboration.”

Bob grabbed onto Laurie’s hand and refused to let go. The people around him who were perceptive had already left.

These were all smart people, and they could tell that Anna was giving Bob a “gift.”

However, Laurie felt embarrassed. She struggled with all her might to free herself from Bob’s grip.

“I’m just a scriptwriter’s assistant,” she said somewhat awkwardly. “If you have any collaborations you want to discuss, Miss Anna will definitely be able to help.”

When he saw that Bob was interested in Laurie, the last bit of humanity in Jose vanished.

He quickly blocked Laurie’s way and pushed her forward. “Since Vice President Bob thinks so highly of her, then let her have a few drinks with you first.”

Laurie glared at Jose in fury, but Jose didn’t dare to look her in the eyes.

“And you are?” Bob didn’t take this kid in front of him seriously at all, but seeing that he was quite good at reading people’s moods, he said a few more words to him.

“Hello, I’m the manager of Mingshang Film and Television, Jose. I’m also Laurie’s immediate superior.”

Jose respectfully handed over his business card with both hands. Bob didn’t even look at it and slipped the business card under the wine glass.

Although Jose felt slighted, he still did not dare to show any disrespect.

He secretly glared at Laurie. “I asked you to accompany the vice president, yet you feel aggrieved? Don’t tell me you want to become an official scriptwriter without doing anything?”

Laurie glared at him with hatred. At this juncture, she finally understood the intention of these two people when they asked her to attend this banquet.

Laurie felt downright disgusted.

“Move aside!” Laurie’s tone was filled with anger. She pushed Jose away forcefully.

However, Anna did not let her off. “Then have a drink with the vice president as an apology.”

Anna handed the glass over and whispered in her ear, “If you don’t drink this glass of wine and Bob gets angry, you can forget about being a scriptwriter.”

Laurie gritted her teeth and asked, “Can I leave after drinking a glass of wine?”

“Of course.”

Anna handed the glass to her, but she did not expect it to be intercepted by another hand.
