Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 453 - 453 Mother and daughter

Chapter 453: Mother and daughter Chapter 453: Mother and daughter Mia Garcia never expected that three days after her last conversation with her mom, Clara Brown would excitedly tell her on the fourth day, “Mia, Mia… my precious baby girl, Uncle Lee wants to invite us out for dinner.”

“It’s fine if he invites you, why invite me?” Mia instinctively felt wary.

Clara casually said, “Last time when I left Uncle Lee, I talked to him about your desire to return to the Entertainment Circle. He just called and said that he’s preparing to invest in a movie, and they haven’t settled on the female lead yet. So he wanted to ask me if you’re interested and if he should invite you to join us for dinner to discuss it.”

Mia blinked her big eyes, triple-checking, “Mom, are you sure it’s true?”

“I’m your mom – I wouldn’t lie to you,” Clara replied, feigning calmness.

Mia still didn’t feel secure, saying, “The last time you came back, you clearly said Uncle Lee wasn’t interested in you, let alone figuring out how to let me re-enter the entertainment industry. It’s only been a few days, and he’s changed his mind already?”

No one who has been in the Entertainment Circle would be so foolish as to be unaware, particularly when Clara had previously mentioned trying to get her daughter to latch onto Uncle Lee.

Mia couldn’t 100% believe in the sudden surprise.

“I don’t know! He just called and told me, if you don’t trust me, call him and confirm it yourself,” Clara said irritably.

Of course, Mia knew there would be no point in calling, even if it were a trap.

But deep down, she held a glimmer of hope. What if it was true? If she missed this opportunity, she would never get another chance.

These days, major online media were reporting on Amelia Wilson’s movie – her acting skills and good looks have made her a powerful new idol…

All sorts of praise, they just didn’t give her the title of leading actress or queen yet.

Clara didn’t know what Mia was thinking at this moment, but seeing her silent, she continued to persuade, “Whether you want to seize this opportunity is up to you – you don’t have to go tonight if you don’t want to. But if you do want this role, you won’t get it.”

“What if it’s a trap set by Uncle Lee?” Mia blurted out.

When she asked that question, she hadn’t even considered if Clara was involved, too. In her heart, she still trusted her mother.

“If there really is a female lead role for you to act in, if someone else sets the trap, would you go?” Clara tested Mia from another angle.

Of course, Mia had thought about it. She knew very well how many leading actresses in the Entertainment Circle had slept their way to the top. Those who didn’t need to achieve a role this way either had already reached a high level in the industry, or they had a strong family background.

Right now, she was neither of these.

“Mom, can you not force me to answer this kind of question?” Mia’s tone was not pleasant.

Seeing her like this, Clara said, “Then just wait at home for your Mr. Right to save you from your plight.”

“Mom, can’t you help me?” Mia still just wanted to get what she wanted through her mother’s efforts.

Clara’s mentality had changed long ago. If this were years earlier, she would not have made this decision; if any man had designs like this on her daughter, she would be the first to fight them to the death.
