Chapter 217
Very soon, Producer Yoder locked his sight on Cece.
He took a glass of wine and passed it to Cece. Smiling, he said, “I like the designs you’ve come up with. I’ll be having another movie title after this one, so we can work together on that, too. Come, let’s raise a toast to celebrate working together successfully this time!” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Cece, ever young and naive, gleefully extended her hand to accept the glass of wine Producer Yoder passed to her.
However, Producer Yoder suddenly grabbed Cece’s hand and rubbed it back and forth. ‘ Miss Lynn, I guarantee fame and fortune for you both if you work with me.”
Vicky and Cece were only dealing with women in the market. Thus, they rarely had to deal with a male customer. She had met many annoying female customers, but she never met a male customer who dared to do anything to her.
Panicking, Cece’s instincts kicked in. She tried to break away from Producer Yoder’s hand, but he grabbed her hand so tightly that she could not break away.
He even took the chance to pull her into his arms, and the stench of alcohol from his mouth fanned her face.
“There’s more to come if you follow me.”
Cece had never experienced this situation before. After nearly being assaulted by the rich kid when she attended a party with Vicky weeks ago, she could not stand another rehash.
Producer Yoder’s disgusted face truly annoyed and disgusted her stomach. Her instinct kicked in as she raised her hand and gave him a slap. Slap!
It was a crisp sound, but it was not too loud as the room was very noisy. Therefore, it did not attract too many people’s attention.
Producer Yoder, who had too much to drink, was infuriated. He was a big shot in the entertainment industry, and even when a few women denied him, they did not dare to slap him.
“B*tch! How dare you slap me? You must be out of your mind!”
With the influence of rage, he pulled Cece’s hair and dragged her to where Director Lumber was. Although he had drunk quite a lot, he had not lost his mind yet. He knew Tyler was here, and it was not a wise move to make a scene to cause trouble and made Tyler unhappy.
Still, he was not about to easily let go of the woman that had crossed him.
He pulled Cece to where Director Lumber was and rambled, “Lumber, the designer you recommend is just so-so, but she definitely isn’t afraid to show herself.”
Director Lumber was talking with the other director about the movie. He was stunned when he heard what Producer Yoder said. “What happened?”
Producer Yoder said angrily, “I was a little drunk and accidentally touched her. Then this idiot girl thought I was trying to take advantage of her and slapped me in the face!”
Director Lumber knew what kind of person Producer Yoder was. Although Producer Yoder was a lustful person, he knew how to examine the situation. If the woman was not unwilling, he would not force her.
Normally, if Cece was unwilling, she could just try to break away and say something polite to reject the man, and that would have been the end of that.
However, Cece lacked the experience. Her situation merely worsened after she slapped Producer Yoder.
Although Director Lumber admired Vicky and Cece’s work, he was still in the system. He could not afford to offend Producer Yoder because of them.
Producer Yoder had been in the industry for many years. He had the connections and the resources. Offending him was not a good choice.
While Director Lumber was thinking about what to do, Vicky finished her call. She noticed something was happening and strode over.
“Cece, did anything happen?” she asked.
Producer Yoder said coldly, “Miss Shaw, this little girl you brought with you slapped me in the face without any reason. So …what are you going to do about that?”
