Chapter 276

Kieran looked up and saw them.

“It’s Kieran,” Elizabeth said, raising an eyebrow.

Kieran waved and smiled, “Hey.”

Lila gave a slight nod in greeting.

Kieran glanced at Lila, scrutinized her for a moment, then looked away.

“Mr. Getty, are you attending this kind of event?” Elizabeth asked, tilting her head.

“I usually don’t, but I have something to do today,” Kieran replied with a lively smile.

Elizabeth didn’t ask what it was, but Kieran volunteered, “I’m here to discuss something with a celebrity.”

“I see,” Elizabeth nodded and smiled. “The celebrity is lucky enough to work with you.”

Lila smiled faintly. “Good luck with your negotiations.”

Kieran raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening. “Thanks.”

With that, Kieran went back to his business. Elizabeth and Lila watched him walk away.

“A celebrity who gets Mr. Getty’s attention must be special,” Elizabeth remarked.

Lila nodded. “I’ve heard it’s tough to collaborate with the Getty Group. Kieran may seem playful, but he’s got a sharp eye. He doesn’t go for just any actress.”

“Really?” Elizabeth asked.

Lila replied, “He doesn’t like those who are too popular. I’ve been in the industry for years and never landed a deal with the Getty Group. I had always scoffed at Getty Group endorsements. Plus, Kieran was friends with Alexander, whom she didn’t like much.”

“Is there an endorsement you couldn’t get?” Elizabeth was surprised.

“Kieran has no taste!” Elizabeth snorted. “What if he wants to sign you now?”

“If he kneels and begs, I’ll consider it,” Lila said, striking a queenly pose.

Elizabeth burst out laughing.

Lila added, “Just kidding. It’s not that serious, but I wouldn’t work with him.” Anyway, Kieran didn’t fancy her either.

In short, they didn’t fancy each other.

“If Mr. Getty realizes your worth one day, he might come to you,” Elizabeth teased.

“I hope not. I’d have to refuse,” Lila replied.

They exchanged a glance and laughed.

“Lila, we should go in.” Lila’s agent called out.

Lila nodded, then bid farewell to Elizabeth, saying they’d meet inside later.

Elizabeth watched Lila go, about to ask where Charles was, when she saw a familiar figure coming in.

Alexander walked in with seven people in black suits, everyone showing him respect. Alexander was listening to a woman, looking serious. Two bodyguards with earpieces followed behind.

Elizabeth sighed, thinking, “Why is Alexander here? He hates these events.” She was about to avoid him when Alexander looked up.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere got awkward. The people with Alexander fell silent, following his gaze.

Should we call her Ms. Percy or Mrs. Tudor? It’s rumored Alexander and Elizabeth are divorced, but he hasn’t confirmed it. Everyone felt awkward.

Alexander pressed his lips together, glanced at Elizabeth, and nodded slightly. He didn’t want it to be too awkward and hoped Elizabeth wouldn’t either.

Elizabeth got the hint and nodded back, then walked away. Alexander’s gaze followed her.
