Chapter 860: Chapter 858: She Finally Smiled at Him

The private room was filled with people from the film crew.

At this moment, Joanna Lawrence was no longer worried about being secretly photographed.

So she held up her cup confidently and smiled at him, "I hope our future collaborations will continue to be smooth. Mr. Allenson, thank you for taking such good care of me today. It was a pleasure to practice acting with you."

Maddox Allenson looked at the smile on her face and was stunned for two seconds. He felt that all the unhappiness and unpleasantness of the day had disappeared at this moment.

She looked so beautiful when she smiled.

She finally smiled at him.

Not like before, distant and cold, avoiding him as much as possible except when they were working.

He really hated that feeling.

She could keep her distance from him,

Even being ordinary friends would be enough,

That way, they could at least have some contact in private.

But she was unwilling to be even an ordinary friend. Such alienation and coldness truly made him feel uncomfortable.

He never knew that the feeling of liking someone could be like this.

It wasn’t sweet, nor was it happy, and there was no happiness...

Instead, it was heartache.

All emotions, happiness and sadness, were being led by this person.

Even if she had been cold and distant to him before...

But when she smiled, he felt that the world was beautiful again.

In the world of love,

The side that isn’t loved is so humble.

After toasting, Maddox Allenson turned and returned to his seat.

As soon as he left, several female actresses from the crew approached him with their glasses of wine.

He was Male Lead 1 in the TV series.

Moreover, he was the most popular male artist at the moment, so naturally, there were many people who wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

It wasn’t long before the waiter brought in several boxes of strawberry-flavored yogurt.

Joanna hugged the yogurt and took small sips in a corner.

As she finished one box of yogurt and was about to grab another, Gary White handed a microphone to her, "Do you want to sing a song? What do you want to sing? I’ll have someone order it for you."

He was asking Joanna, but before she could reply, he asked with raised eyebrows and a smile, "Do you know how to sing ’Three Inches of Lovesickness?’"

Joanna paused and nodded, "A little..."

This song was a recent hit, and Joanna liked it after listening to it just once. So she had learned it.

Basically, she could sing it.

"Then sing this one."

Without asking for her opinion, Gary White called someone to order the song and handed the microphone to Joanna, "Just relax and have fun. It’s no fun to stay in the corner by yourself."

Joanna took the microphone, only to find that everyone in the private room was looking at her.

She pursed her lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "I don’t sing very well, so if it’s not pleasant to hear, please don’t mind."

People immediately began to flatter her, "Ms. Joanna is being too modest. Your singing must be heavenly."

"Indeed, with Ms. Joanna’s voice, her singing must be amazing."

"We are all waiting for Ms. Joanna to cleanse our ears with her singing."

They all complimented Joanna, one after another, in the most sycophantic and obsequious way possible.

Joanna felt awkward listening to them.

However, she truly experienced the preferential treatment she received as Gary White’s "cousin."

Everyone was flattering her.

It seemed that they really believed her to be in a close family relationship with Gary White.

Joanna thought about it, and decided that this was a good thing.
