CHAPTER 174: CHAPTER 174: WANTING TO GET CLOSE TO HER

What the heck!

What are all these things?!!

The list is full of fresh flowers, jewelry, designer clothes, bags, shoes...

All sorts of luxury items.

How is this a punishment? It’s clearly a shopping spree!

Sam Clarke took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. William Foster, are you trying to impress the Young Madam with this?"

His heart was filled with confusion and surprise.

William Foster gave him a glance, showing a hint of displeasure, "What are you talking about? You better see a doctor for your nonsense."

He said this and then ignored Sam Clarke.

Sam Clarke was stunned: "!"

He thought to himself, I must have overthought it.

Originally, I thought it was a real punishment, but it turns out it’s for buying luxury goods for the Young Madam.

Feeling complicated, Sam Clarke walked away and met Arthur Davis. He complained, "Little Ying, if I didn’t have breakfast, what do you think would happen to me?"

His tone was filled with helplessness and confusion.

Arthur Davis thought for a moment, "Long-term skipping breakfast could lead to gallstones. You have to take care of your health."

She looked at Sam Clarke with concern, worried that he might neglect his health due to work.

Sam Clarke tentatively asked, "And if I also skipped dinner last night?"

He wanted to know how Arthur Davis would react.

Arthur Davis replied, "Missing a meal occasionally is no big deal, maybe you could lose some weight."

Her words were light, showing that she wasn’t overly concerned.

Sam Clarke patted her shoulder, chuckling bitterly, "Our lives are really so humble."

He sighed at the hardships of their work life.

Arthur Davis was puzzled, "So what exactly are you worried about? What does Mr. William Foster want you to do?"

She was curious, not knowing why Sam Clarke suddenly seemed so dejected.

"Sigh," Sam Clarke sighed, his voice filled with helplessness, "His Majesty gave me a list, asking me to prepare these things to make the Queen happy."

There was a hint of irony in his words.

Arthur Davis stared at him intently, with a flash of warning in her eyes, "Be careful what you say, if you’re ordered to have your tongue cut off one day, it will be difficult for me."

His tone was gentle, but every word seemed to strike Sam Clarke’s nerves.

Sam Clarke retorted unwillingly, "But you would still obediently follow orders."

Arthur Davis nodded gently, responding calmly, "That’s right."

Hearing this, Sam Clarke’s face turned red with anger as he turned to leave, feeling wronged.

At that moment, he felt he couldn’t bear to stay a second longer!

Humph, he couldn’t stand another second in this place!

...

Meanwhile, while Sam Clarke was feeling troubled, Clara Bennett was sneezing repeatedly on the other side, feeling like someone was badmouthing her behind her back, probably Nell Sue.

Because Clara Bennett and George Taylor’s performances were outstanding, the filming progress was much faster than expected.

What was originally expected to take three and a half to five days was completed in just three days.

On the evening the filming ended, the crew was in an exceptionally cheerful mood, everyone immersed in joy.

Everything went smoothly, like a good omen, filling everyone with confidence for the future filming.

Clara Bennett and George Taylor stood side by side on the stage, bowing deeply to the staff below, sincerely thanking them for their hard work.

Director Ethan Smith, with a beaming smile, praised, "I’m so delighted to meet such talented actors. With their participation, filming has been twice the success with half the effort!"

George Taylor quickly praised Clara Bennett, "Clara is a natural-born actress, every performance so natural, handling emotions and actions just right. Many times I have to follow your rhythm in scenes. Your grasp of every detail is truly admirable."

Clara Bennett waved humbly, "Taylor, you flatter me. There are still many areas in my acting that need improvement. Please give me more guidance. With a mentor like you, I can progress faster."

George Taylor’s eyes were full of warmth, "Your acting is truly amazing, absolutely flawless. Every scene leaves a deep impression, and I believe you’ll shine brightly in the future."

Within just a few days, George Taylor felt deeply attracted to her.

He found himself constantly wanting to be near her, to learn more about her.

Whenever he had time, he wanted to be with Clara Bennett, going over lines and discussing plots, sometimes doing nothing, just sitting quietly watching her made him feel content.

Whenever he saw her focused expression, an indescribable happiness would well up in his heart.

However, completely absorbed in this wonderful feeling, George Taylor didn’t realize that Clara Bennett wished she could find an excuse to avoid spending time together.

After all, the person at home often got jealous, and every time George’s name came up, the atmosphere turned awkward.

Therefore, Clara truly didn’t want to have any entanglements with George Taylor.

But being in the same crew, it was hard to avoid one another, causing Clara quite a headache.

Ethan Smith checked the time and suggested, "It’s getting late, and we haven’t decided on dinner yet. How about we all go for a bite to eat?"

Of course, George Taylor was happy to have the opportunity to dine with Clara Bennett, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "Sure, let’s go have something nice."

However, Clara Bennett politely declined the invitation, "Thank you for the offer, but I have something urgent tonight and must go back, so I can’t join."

Hearing this, George Taylor looked at her puzzled, "So urgent? What could be so important that you can’t enjoy a nice meal?"

Clara Bennett quickly explained, "Well... Director, Taylor, it’s something quite important and can’t be delayed. You all enjoy your meal, I’m heading back to the hotel to pack my things."

Her words were half true.

She did need to leave quickly, but it wasn’t because someone at home was waiting for her return, rather there was an urgent company matter to handle.

Previously, she found Samuel Grant’s former friend, who had now turned into an enemy, Kai Smith, to seek help, promising to cure his mother’s illness in return.

The aunt was now settled and her condition stabilized. Clara was going back to assign some company matters for him to handle.

It was indeed for this reason she was in a hurry to return, not to meet William Foster.

But because she promised to look for him as soon as she returned, she planned to appease her newlywed husband a bit to prevent him from getting suspicious.

When Clara returned to the hotel and finished packing, her phone rang just in time.

Every night, William Foster would make a video call to her, although she couldn’t see him, he was always very eager.

Clara didn’t mind, guessing he wanted her to live like a normal person.

After finishing packing, Clara’s eyes twinkled as she walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and then accepted the video call.
