Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 827: Chapter 830: Aidan Lucas Finally Responds

The young master didn’t like Mr. Lucas, and no one knew why; it just seemed strangely so.

In the past, he and Sebastian Lucas VII had even privately discussed it: the young master was so smart, could it be because he sensed that a different person was inside Mr. Lucas’s shell and that’s why he felt this way?

But later, during a chat with Ellie, they happened to talk about this matter.

Only then did he find out that even before the Young Lady had left, the young master was not very fond of Mr. Lucas.

Back then, the young master would only smile truly happily when he saw the Young Lady.

Mr. Lucas had to go to great lengths every time he tried to make the young master laugh.

Moreover, when the young master was little, he especially enjoyed competing with Mr. Lucas for the Young Lady’s attention.

Ah, thinking of the Young Lady, Samuel McKinley couldn’t help but sigh.

He realized he was letting his thoughts wander too far and quickly refocused.

When his gaze returned to the young master, Ben Lucas had already started to read a book on his own.

Seeing such a sensible and mature young master, Samuel McKinley finally let out a quiet sigh.

Indeed, it’s said that a child without a mother must grow up early!

It was after all the young master himself who had suggested to Mr. Lucas that he should go to study at the Royal Military Academy in B City.

The Royal Military Academy is Eastonia’s top institution, from the Preschool Division to the Primary School Division, the Middle School Division, right up to the University Division and Research Department—without exception, all were being trained to be generals for the military.

Because of Mr. Lucas’s relationship with Larry Scott, he was initially against the young master going there.

But Mr. Lucas couldn’t win against the young master and in the end, had to let Samuel McKinley, Sebastian Lucas VII, and Harrison Lucas accompany him there.

Meanwhile, Lily had waited for two days, but had not received a response from Sadie.

Unexpectedly, she received a call from Director Cooper.

“Miss Redington, congratulations. Your audition was very successful, and Mr. Cooper has personally chosen you to play our movie’s female lead. If it’s convenient for you, it would be best if you could come sign the contract soon.”

“You mean, Aidan Lucas personally picked me to play the female lead?” Lily was somewhat surprised.

Although that day, she could feel that Aidan Lucas still had residual feelings for her.

That’s why she had deliberately left her personal phone number afterwards, thinking he would ask to see her privately.

But then, after waiting for several days, that man made no move.

She even thought that her feelings that day were a misunderstanding.

Now it seems her feelings weren’t wrong.

That man, who says one thing but means another, truly couldn’t let go of her!

Lily pressed her lips together and giggled covertly. Since there was no lead with her son, it was also good to start with Aidan Lucas first.

If she could reconcile with Aidan Lucas, then perhaps with his help, it might be easier for Ben to accept her.

“Director Cooper, I have no problems, send me the address, and I’ll be right there.”

Following the address to the film set, Director Cooper stood at the entrance with a beaming smile, waiting for her.

Seeing her arrival, he warmly took her on a tour of the film set and introduced her to the director and the screenwriter. After receiving praise from both, he led her to a lounge to get ready to sign the contract.

“Arianna, here is your contract. Mr. Cooper has personally made the arrangements, and the pay offered to you by the production team is the highest for a newcomer in the industry. Take a look,” he said.

Lily took the contract and briefly looked through it.

The pay was indeed quite good — three million seven hundred fifty thousand.

For a newcomer filming their first movie, even as the female lead, three million seven hundred fifty thousand was the highest benchmark in the industry.

That’s Aidan Lucas for you, with his deep pockets and generosity!

Lily felt delighted inside, with a smile she couldn’t keep from curling at her lips.

Of course, she wouldn’t just be smiling because of the three million seven hundred fifty thousand salary.

She was smiling because of Aidan Lucas’s attitude.

Clearly, he was being good to her.

Even if he had pretended not to recognize her when they met, now he had not only personally chosen her for the heroine role but also offered her a record-breaking newcomer’s salary.

As for him having no interest in her, she didn’t believe it for a second!
