The Hero

Chapter 196 Humor My Curiosity

Javier is not offended. He knew Dana misunderstood. “Please, don't misunderstand my intentions, Mom. Mr. directing. Gander is famous for projecting the scale and depth of his story, which is why I hope he can be the one to lead Gurs.”

Javier's praise was as sincere as his tone, but Dana finished listening to the sweet words and empty praise. He already had a lot of falsehoods to last a lifetime.

He waved at his words. “How about something more concrete, hmm? You sincerely ask your film to Mr. Gander, right? Well, Old Gander's current salary is 2.3 million dollars, sir. Do you want to pay for all of that in full?” He pointed at the check. “You can pick it up when you do. Come back to me when you've got the amount.”

Well, it just makes everything .. a little harder now, right?

“Eh, Bu?” Javier starts, a little embarrassed. “I can only offer 3 million dollars. I can't give more than that.”

Dana felt her breath choking in her throat. He kept the cup away from the check and studied it, realizing that it had always been 3 million dollars. For some reason, he had mistaken the currency for another well-known international currency — which is why '3 million” on the latter looked less than it actually is.

He gawked at the check, stunned. “You... You're really going to pay Old Gander in full... so he says yes to directing your film?”

Javier nodded, “Ya. I say, I am sincere in my request and I will prove it.

Dana's heart is racing. Well, that's incredible sincerity! Who in the world would invest so much money on a prospective movie that doesn't even have a script yet?!

“With all due respect, Sir, you.. don't do this for money laundering purposes, right?” he asked carefully. "Gander and I have always avoided such things."

Javier laughing. “Of course not, Dan. Don'worry. Whenever Mr. Gander feels something is not up to the making of the film - be it fraudulent activities or anything that arouses suspicion like his funding is lower than I promised - he is free to stop immediately. We can even sign an agreement stating that if he stops halfway, he does not need to return the amount I have paid to him. In other words, whatever happens during production, 3 million dollars belongs to Mr. Gander is his.”

Dana surprised. "But what if we trick you?"

Javier. “I'm not worried, Mom. One thing is certain: Mr.'s reputation. Gander is worth more than this, while you, Dana, are a famous actress in your own right. I'm doubtful a small amount of money is even enough to lure honorable people like the two of you to upset your own conscience. ”

Dana finally understood. This young man was serious about his intentions. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to sign a deal that Old Gander liked so much. Still, something about the proposal still confused him. Why shoot for Osborn now, when the selection of candidates is still a few months away? He hadn't even prepared the script yet, so what was he trying to get?

He was just about to ask when his phone rang. He gave Javier a short nod and reached out to grab it. And that's when the hem of her skirt got stuck in the corner of the table.

It shouldn't have happened! The table had a smooth, round fringe that should not be entangled with her skirt. But he was unlucky for wearing a disheveled subordinate today, and somehow one of his folds got stuck on the table like ****...

His breadth was still tightly bound to the corner of the table as he extended his hand forward

Riiiiiip!

The two slender and supple legs were immediately visible to the eyes that were looking at their luck. What was more important was how high this new tear was on his thigh. One would look at it and declare it as an open-sided dress that is as bold as a cosplayer.

As her cheeks reddened, she grabbed her phone and quickly left the table, disappearing into her bedroom. He could not stop thinking about his embarrassing predicament. God, that's so embarrassing! A woman in her mid-forties, showing off her skin to such a young stranger?

Lordy! Humiliation level!

Unbeknownst to Dana, Javier is not thinking about indecent things about her. Sure, Dana is pretty and very sexy, but her mind is busier with how to persuade Mr. Gander to say yes

He had reason to worry. Until now, all Javier had to bring to the table was money. He has nothing else to offer for the project, which can easily be mistaken for a rich person who thinks that having the funds makes him a boss. “Bos demands entertainment from you!' it might have unfortunate implications.

That would be a deadly blow to Javier's success. Art type like Mr. Gander almost always has an uncompromising sense of pride in them—especially those who succeed in name, fame, and prestige. The more Javier thinks about it, the more he decides that he should talk directly to Mr. Gander: If he fails to do so, he may lose his success.

While Javier is still thinking about it, Dana emerges from her room in faded blue denim jeans. Javier has to admit - he has an incredible figure. The fact that he was over 40 years old did not deter his allure! This is especially true when skinny jeans hug the curves of her slender, slender legs, accentuating her charm.

Javier measured it several times before praising, "You're so beautiful, Mom."

It wasn't the most inappropriate compliment anyone could give under normal circumstances, but it came so quickly after the accident?

Javier regretted his words as soon as he heard those words coming out of his mouth. And as expected, Dana's cheeks flushed red, one might think she was bleeding. The woman had interpreted Javier's comments as comments on his previously exposed legs ...

Fortunately for both of them, the embarrassment of both sides lasted a long time. Dana quickly changed the topic, explaining, “Gander Tua called. He said his conversation with the Ministry of Culture is over, and he'll be home as we speak. I'm telling him about you and your proposal, and he thinks he should talk to you in person. You'll have to wait a little longer, sir. Thank you for your patience."

Javier smiled and nodded before turning to another topic for their chat. Meanwhile, Dana suddenly mentions marriage and relationships before asking Javier if he's been taken.

Javier told her not before adding, "Are you thinking of introducing someone to me, Mom?"

Danang laughs. “For a talented and talented lover like you? Please, that's pretty fun. ”

Javier chuckled and showed a humble attitude. “Well, marriage is not the most urgent thing for me right now. But just think about it—a peaceful and loving marriage like the one between you and Mr. Gander.I'm jealous!”

Javier meant to flatter the woman. To caress her ego and make her speak well with her husband later. Most to her surprise, the smile on Dana's face stiffened into something that almost resembled hatred. “It takes more than friendship and love to live a happy life, you know. Happiness also comes from. ah, it doesn't matter. I forgot myself and said nonsense! He waved, stopped wherever the topic was pointing, and started talking about other things altogether.

Javier can't help but wonder. From the sound of her voice, Dana and Gander's marriage is not as beautiful and beautiful as it seems. However, from the looks of it, the two have always been lovers, and Javier has never heard of any scandal on Mr.'s part. Ganders.

Half an hour later, the director Javier was waiting for came along. The conversation between him and Dana stopped.

Mr. Gander sat down, turned to Javier, and immediately chased after. “Law of curiosity, Son. Why are you so excited about getting that Osborn, huh? What's with urgency and passion without caring about these costs? Javier wasn't even sure how to answer.
