Chapter 2219
The corridor on the second floor was covered with a red carpet, and when one walked on it, there was no sound. Under the LED light, the carpet appeared much more vivid in color.
Just as they were about to enter the private room, Henrick saw a familiar figure from behind.
He stood at the door and saw that it was Alma and a handsome man. The man's hand was intimately placed on her waist. She was smiling brightly in his arms, and she was very unrestrained, unlike in front of him where she always lowered her head and spoke cautiously.
Henrick narrowed his eyes slightly. It was an unprecedented danger.
At the same time, there seemed to be a kind of obsession quietly disappearing from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't like Alma, which made him involuntarily happy.
If he really liked her, he would have gone over to beat the man up or questioned her angrily, but he had no impulse to do so at all.
"Henrick, what are you doing?" Martin had already drunk a cup of tea. He could not help but ask when he saw that Henrick was still standing at the door.
Henrick came back to his senses, took off his cap and sunglasses, and said with a smile, "It's nothing."
The more he thought about it, the better his mood was. It was as if the heavy burden in his heart had disappeared, and his life could start over again.
Noticing the smile on Henrick's face, Martin was a little confused. When he first saw him, he thought that Henrick was not in a good mood, but that was not the case at all right then. What did he see outside? Henrick sat opposite him and asked, "Did you order some fried pork chops? In fact, I like them a lot, but I've eaten too much meat recently."
Martin replied, "Yes."
"Yes! I want to eat too." Henrick's lips curled into a happy smile, as if everything in his world was suddenly made clear.
"Martin, the world is so beautiful!"
Martin was speechless. It was as if he had seen two different Henricks.
Martin looked at him curiously. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so emotional all of a sudden?"
Henrick looked at him and smiled mysteriously. "Martin, I'm so happy that you're treating me to dinner!"
Martin also smiled. "I specially invited you to dinner for a reason. Do you think I'm so simple?"
Henrick was speechless. "Martin, you're so mean!"
"Why did you ruin my good mood?"
"Why did you show your scheming side to me and ruin my impression of you?"
It wasn't easy to praise him once, but he didn't fall for it. What an idiot.
"So, you asked me to come here tonight because you really have something to do?"
Martin nodded and watched the waiter serve the dishes. He said, "Let's discuss while we eat."
When the dishes were all served, Martin picked up a piece of pork for Henrick.
Henrick was speechless. He was full after eating. Could Martin still eat other dishes?
"Gia usually eats like this?" Why was it that he remembered his sister only eating small meals at home?
"We eat like this occasionally. This piece is from the front leg. It looks good, but there's not much meat." Martin picked one up without hesitation. After he finished eating, he would get up early the next morning to exercise.
Henrick was a little worried. He really couldn't eat too much these days, but when he looked at the crispy golden skin, he felt that if he bit it, it would taste very good.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help gulping.
Watching Martin eating with relish, he made up his mind and took a big bite. The fragrance of the food exploded in his mouth, and his mind was filled with choirs of angels singing.
He looked extremely happy and ate half of it silently. He was a little tired and said, "Martin, it's really delicious. Remember to bring it to Gia later. She loves it most."
Martin looked at his oily mouth, which made him look not as elegant as before. He smiled and said, "I will remember." He came here deliberately to eat, and he would take some food away later. Halfway through the meal, the two of them were half full. Martin spoke up, "Henrick, I recently talked to Aunt Church about some work, and I want to invite you to be the male lead in it." Henrick looked at him with a big piece of meat in his hand. He had already forgotten about keeping his body in good shape.
Looking at Martin, who ate elegantly, he seemed to be very patient with everything. After getting married, he became much calmer.
The more Henrick looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
"Candace's script is the most difficult to get, and it also has a lot of twists and turns. The plot is worth thinking about, but it's very hard to perform." He didn't even dare to challenge him. "There's one more thing. Mr. Church is capable of protecting his wife and daughter. If Aunt Candace was to go to the scene, he would definitely be there." Adonis had a tongue that was so sharp that it made people feel fear.
"No, I'm very curious. How did you convince Aunt Candace to give you the script? Even if Uncle Anson went, she might not be willing to give it to you." Henrick was very curious about this point. Although Candace was not very old and was a few years younger than his mother, Adonis didn't like her to work so hard. She only produced one script a year, and there were only two at most. The Church family was not short of money, not to mention that they had been backed by Alwynn Group these years, so their future development was better.
Adonis' greatest pleasure was to bring his wife, son, and daughter to travel.
Diane was as happy as a little princess everyday.
Martin smiled and said, "The credit goes to Gia. Adonis dotes on his daughter, and he also indirectly likes Gia. Naturally, this script would be given to me." Henrick replied with an "oh" and he understood instantly.
"Martin, you're the one who's scheming. If Uncle Anson is willing to let Jacqueline appear, I don't think it'll be so difficult for him."
"My father's good brothers are all controlled by their daughters. Their daughters are all as precious as gold to them and they want to hold them in their hands, not letting go for the rest of their lives." Martin replied, "I think it's a good thing."
Henrick's expression was one of utter disbelief.
"Martin, have you ever experienced that what your sister did wrong, you had to take responsibility for it? Do you know how I grew up with Gia? We grew up arguing with each other everyday." "Only you can stand Gia's sharp tongue. If she doesn't rebuke me for three days, she will feel uncomfortable. She will be happy if she gives me a call to yell at me."
"No, Gia won't do this to me." Martin smiled and took a sip of tea to water it.
Henrick instantly felt that the treatment was unfair. Why?
She treated her husband much better than her own brother!
His sister, whom he had doted on since he was a child, was taken away by the man in front of him. He still couldn't believe that his sister was married.
"Martin, do you know that I really want to beat you up?"
Martin looked at him with a faint smile and drank his tea gracefully.
"Henrick, I know, but I won't give you a chance."
Henrick retorted, "Well, you win. I'll rest for a month after I finish filming this drama."
Martin's eyes were full of gratitude. "Thank you, Henrick. There's no rush. As long as you're acting, we can wait for a long time." With his current status, there were not many directors who could invite him. Henricl asked, "Is eight or ten years okay?"
Martin was lost for words. This person was really shameless.
On the other side, in the other restaurant.
Alice also booked a private room.
Her favorite dish was fish. It was not spicy and tasted delicious. She had been eating it all night.
The two women talked endlessly from the moment they sat down.
Giada suddenly asked curiously, "Alice, I remember that you liked Henrick when you were young. Do you still like him?"
