The Billionaire's Kept Woman Chapter 36 - Disappointment

Chapter 36 - Disappointnt

Director Channing was getting frustrated as he received a call from the main investor. She watched the first shows and she said that it'll be the waste of ti to have Louise as the main character.

"Director, you think I invested 2 million for it to go to waste? The fantasy movie that you are creating is a dream. I had read the script and even watched how the crew would handle the animation. It's close to Hollywood but, I am quite disappointed, Mr. Channing."

"I understand, I will work this out. This is just the first shot. We'll take more shots and I promise you~~"

She sighed from the other line.

"I don't see good progress on the following days. Your female lead should attend more acting classes. Then, she'll know she is lacking."

"Yes, I understand. But, who do you suggest?"

"Hmm, I won't suggest anyone. I just want a suitable actress for the character. I know you had it in mind."

"Got it."

"Goodbye, then."

Director Channing faced the crew. The scriptwriter and the producers.

"I told you, it's not about who she is dating." The scriptwriter, Miss Pierce said. "Sarah is more suitable. And I can see my first character in her." She told him.

"Let's change characters then, put Louise in a lesser show."

"Got it." They agreed to him.

"By the way, are the rumors true?" Miss Pierce asked. "That she could date Alessandro De Alegre? I an, they didn't even have a photo together and I heard that he's engaged to Tracey De Novo."

"Sohow, it ca out to be untrue." Mr. Jace said.

"Then, who is he dating?" They started asking.

Director Channing had another incoming call. It's Mr. De Alegre's secretary. He told them to be quiet as he answered it.

"Hello, sir Em?"

"Director! I was in the set a while ago. And I am not satisfied with the outco. I think you already distributed the script, a month ago and had a eting with all of them. President De Alegre heard about it and it'll be a waste of investnt."

"B~But I thought that you want Louise Madison to be the lead."

"Who said who?" Erald asked from the other line. He was more puzzled.

"Well, the rumors said that he's dating Louise Madison."

"Uh~Louise Madison?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, that can't be." The man chuckled. "President De Alegre didn't know such a na."

Director Channing's face darkened. Rumors will always stay rumors. Louise had a thick face that she even ntioned to them that she dated Alessandro and she even showed a down-to-earth attitude which is fake.

"I understand. It's just a misunderstanding."

"Madam, wouldn't be happy if an actress is using her husband's na. I don't think that the President would be happy too."

"M-Madam?"

"Fix this, Director. We'll rise to another ten percent investnt if I see progress."

"Yes, of course."

"Well, then." Erald hung up as he faced the crew with an ash face.

"So? You ntion Madam?"

"Yes," He nodded. "This will not co out from our team. Do you understand?"

They were puzzled for a while as they asked questions. But Miss Pierce understood correctly who they are dealing with.

"Goodbye, then."

She hung up and tucked her phone into her purse as she rolled her eyes. It's already six in the afternoon and her assistant was waiting outside the company building to give the things that she needs to review tonight. She took the papers as she went to the restaurant that her husband reserved. She doesn't have ti to change her outfit. When she arrived at the restaurant and spotted Alessandro in the foyer, their bodyguards left them as Alessandro signed them.

She approached him as he held her hand.

"You looked pissed." He noticed as he smiled at her. She rolled her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Are you that tired?"

"Yes,"

He wrapped his arms around her as they went upstairs to their reserved table. He pulled a chair for her and she asked for his coat. He removed it and put it on her shoulder. He knew well that she easily got cold and that's why he always made sure that she had her jacket. But it seed like she forgot about it since it's hot outside.

"So, what do you want to eat?" He asked as she scanned the nu.

"I'm going to eat salad and diet coke as a beverage." She winked.

"Love, diet coke is bad at night."

She pouted at him.

"Let's just have champagne or red wine? Then, I can stock diet coke in the penthouse."

"You will?"

"Yes," He smiled at her as he took out his phone and contacted the maids in the penthouse.

"Well, okay. I will also have a steak." She told him. "Oh, I like that pink champagne!"

"A bottle then?" He grinned. "You have to finish it."

"Sure." She smirked at him.

He called out the waiter and told them what they wanted.

"It'll be in fifteen minutes," The waiter said. They nodded and asked for the champagne first.

They served the icy cold champagne and the appetizer.

"So, have we ever had a romantic date like this before?" She asked.

"We did." He grinned. "I set up our picnic date on your treehouse or the patio near the pool with string lights."

"Wow, that's dreamy."

"Love, I always make your dream co true." He reached her hand and kissed it.

"Oh, you are so, so amazing. That's why every girl is head over heels on you."

He chuckled and kissed her ring.

"So, what else?"

"One ti, we had a beach getaway with our parents. Then, I asked the crew to set up a dinner date for us by the beach. Then, we watch fireworks after it. It's a feast in that area that they provided fireworks."

"I want to rember it all."

"You will." He promised her. "Even though you forgot, we could still make new mories, right?"

She nodded at him. However, she still felt empty. She wanted to rember how happy their family is with Alessandro and Alexander in the picture. She always rembers her father being a workaholic and having less ti with them. She didn't rember asking her father to give them ti and from his words that they had a date on the beach with their family was sothing more than dreamy.

"So, there are tis that my dad agreed to give us ti?"

"Yes, you fought with your dad that you even cried."

She propped her right elbow over the table as she leaned her chin over her hand.

"Really? I did that?"

He chuckled like he's rembering it.

"Yes, you were dramatic."

She giggled and squeezed his hand.

"So, did you have fun on the set?"

"I am quite disappointed." She said. "Artists from the Golden Age shouldn't get bashed easily, but seeing one made pissed." She mumbled.

He caressed her left hand and there's a trace of callus on her fingers from playing the cello.

"So, where do you want to go this weekend?"

"Sothing normal. You should lead and surprise ."

"Sure…" he grinned. They stared more at each other than she even rubbed her foot on his calves to seduce him. The waiters ca, and they didn't realize that it's more than fifteen minutes. They moved back as they let them serve the food.

"It's fresh and hot." She mumbled.

"This is one of the best restaurants too."

"Well, it's nice and romantic here." He took her steak as he started slicing it. She smiled at his romantic attitude.

"I have to check things first before sleeping since I have to attend to a few things tomorrow." She mumbled.

"Oh, poor wife." He mumbled and put her plate in front of her.

"Thank you." She mumbled and started eating happily.

A smile always draws on his lips every ti she eats happily. Even back in high school, whenever she got hungry for an hour, she would look at him with those adorable sad eyes then, he would buy her a burger, soda, or any food that would make her happy.

He should feed her more, but she needed to watch over her weight and sugar level. They should prepare to have a baby and both of them need a healthy body.

"Love," He called as he chewed his steak.

"Hmm?" She chewed on her at carefully.

"Let's watch out for our health so we can have babies." He told her.

She creased her brows.

"I haven't enjoyed you fully. Let's plan for that after I am tired of you."

He laughed and shook his head.

"When? When we turn fifty? Or perhaps, sixty?"

"Well, maybe after two years I'll be tired of you and I will have to ask for a baby." She shrugged.

"You can't get tired of . I'll make sure of that." He smirked.

"Let eat all of these first and let's asure your stamina." She winked.

He laughed again. She suddenly stopped and watched him laugh. The ti that she was with him as a kept woman after he bought her from the auction was like months ago, he wasn't laughing that much. Now, he doesn't look scary at all. He was so attractive that she never thought that he would have this very attractive playboy part of him.
