My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 222

is spoiled?” She held the mask and stared at the man in disbelief. I stooped to your level and gave myself to you, you bumpkin! Yet, you now complain about me spoiling your mood? I will not stand for this insult!Her eyes went wide with anger, and she wanted to raise a hand against him.John ignored her anger, however. He sneered and moved far away from her. Then, he took the teapot and drank straight from the spout. After that, he spat and fiddled with some marbles. “I’m not a trash collector. I don’t sleep with… ugly things.”Elyse retracted her hand and touched her face.Without further ado, he waved away at the bodyguards. “Toss her out.”She never thought the day would come when an investor would toss her out. They used to beg her and even worship her. Damn it. They’re doing what they please just because of the breakup. Short-sighted *ssholes! Though, she had no one to rely on.With no one to turn to, she could only watch helplessly as the bodyguards pulled her up and dragged her away. “You can’t do this, Mr. Oates! You’ll regret it!”However, John ignored her. He was on the call with someone, and then he laughed raucously, his jowls trembling. Just when she was about to be tossed out, he said, “A minute, please.”Did he change his mind? Just from a phone call? Elyse had no idea who made the call, but they had to be so powerful that John was scared of them. Someone came to my aid. She thought it was her fan. She had a lot of fans, and some must have known about her predicament. My fan must have helped me out.Thinking she was saved, she flung the bodyguards’ arms away and gave each of them two tight slaps. “Unhand me, you curs.”Hey, we’re only following orders given by Mr. Oates. That slap wiped off what little sympathy they had for that woman, but she did not know. She only knew she felt better after slapping someone.Elyse would have hit John as well, but she had no idea if her helper was powerful enough to pin John down, so she spoke softly, “Can we negotiate now, Mr. Oates?”He nodded. “Yes.”She was delighted to hear his affirmation. Good. Just you wait, Rose. Once I rise to fame again, I will destroy you.“Thank you, Mr. Oates. I shall get prepared now.” She put on the best smile she had.“Oh, we’re not in a hurry.” He sat down. “I have two roles for you. Pick whichever you want.”“Two roles?” Oh my gosh. Who is my helper? I can’t believe he’s offering me two roles. Wow, my helper must be powerful. Elyse was excited, but she didn’t show it. Instead, she adjusted her sunglasses and wore her mask. Slowly, she asked, “What kind of roles are we talking about?”“One, a servant. She dies in the first episode. She has three scenes and dies with her body mangled and broken up,” said John slowly. What? A servant who dies after three scenes?! And dies with a mangled body, too? The acting industry was filled with all kinds of roles, but any veteran would be reluctant to take roles that had a horrible ending. They said it would bring misfortune. Naturally, someone who was used to taking the lead roles like Elyse wouldn’t take the job.“T-That is preposterous! Insulting, even!” She was shivering in fury.John explained nothing. He added, “You can have the lead role as well.”She didn’t like how he was looking at her, but she couldn’t refuse the allure of the lead role and quickly nodded. “I’ll take that!” Good.
