Chapter 1001 Try to Be Nice
Triston sensed Audrey’s reluctance and sighed silently to himself. “Whose fault is it? Mine, of course. I’ve always been spoiling her, and there’s no turning back now,” he thought.
Approaching her with a pleasing smile, he said, “Ms. Swann, give me a chance to take you home, okay?”
Though reluctant, Audrey knew that Triston’s offer was the most practical in the current situation. If she didn’t take this opportunity, she’d regret it later. “Okay, let’s go,” she said.
Triston’s plan worked. He happily drove Audrey to her apartment. However, he didn’t continue to pester her. He was concerned that pushing too hard might backfire.
As Triston drove away, Audrey felt relieved. She didn’t know what she would have done if he had continued to pester her.
Exhausted, she lay on the sofa in her apartment. Before she could rest, her phone rang insistently. It was Kim’s special ringtone, designed to ensure she never missed his calls, even if her phone was on silent mode.
Sighing in resignation, she answered the call.
“Why did it take you so long? Dating a man in secret, perhaps?” Kim teased.
Rolling her eyes, Audrey retorted, “You can ask the assistant. How would you not know if I had a date? Spit it out, or I’ll hang up.”
She had barely arrived home when Kim called, which meant her assistant had informed him. Otherwise, Kim couldn’t have known this.
Kim, undeterred by the failed jest, teased, “I just wanted to know you better! As for Mr. Lambert…”
Audrey interrupted, “Don’t mention him, or I’ll hang up.”
“Alright, no talk about him. Let’s talk business. There’s a dinner tomorrow night. Will you accompany me?”
Given Audrey’s status in the industry, she rarely needed to socialize. Moreover, Kim would help her decline as many invitations as possible. Since he brought it up, it meant pressure from higher-ups, leaving him with no choice but to ask her for help.
Not wanting to put Kim in a difficult position, Audrey agreed, “Okay, come pick me up tomorrow.”
Upon her swift agreement, Kim promptly hung up, urging her to rest well.
The next evening, precisely at 8 o’clock, Kim arrived at Audrey’s apartment building in his car. Ten minutes later, Audrey emerged in a light green dress. Her makeup skills surpassed those of an average makeup artist, often doing her own makeup for such events.
Seeing her, Kim couldn’t help but compliment, “You look stunning.”
Audrey gave him a playful glance and joked, “You just realized that today?”
Having known Audrey for many years, Kim was well aware of her extraordinary beauty. While the entertainment industry had no shortage of beautiful women, few combined a striking appearance with exceptional grace. Audrey was one of them, exuding an innate air of elegance due to her aristocratic upbringing.
Assisting Audrey into the car, Kim reminded her, “Tonight’s attendees are all big shots. Try to be nice.”
Audrey nodded and replied, “I’ll do my best.”
