Chapter 199 - The Investor

Lily raised her head to see three men taking their seats in front of them. She instantly recognizes two of them. One is Director Chen, a 56 years old man, with brown thin hair and a slightly protruding chin. The other one is Mr. Ray, an investor. He had invested in a couple of movies and series that she starred recently and as well as in her albums. Mr. Ray and his wife has been a close friend of Lily.

Lily turned to look at the other one who was then looking at her. She studied him from head to toe. He has messy curly hair, deep-set eyes, pointed nose, and a strong jaw. His well-trimmed 3-day stubble beard making him look sexy. Thou he is not a hunky type of man, his body is lean well proportioned making him look hot in the eyes of Lily.

Lily felt Sarah stood up from her seat so she did the same. Then after greeting the newcomers they all seated. The waiter approached them and take their orders before Director Chen started introducing them.

"Of course, you guys already know Mr. Ray, so I won't take the trouble of introducing him to you. Anyways, as usual, he will be one of the major investors of this film."

"Haha. Of course, and we are very thankful to you Mr. Ray." Sarah started complimenting Mr. Ray.

"No need to thank me. Lily is a great artist, any projects of her, I will be much willing to invest. By the way, I would like you to meet a friend of mine who will also invest in this film. This is Lance Kho. He is a lawyer and a Board Member of AM Entertainments. This is his first time to invest in a film." Mr. Ray introduced Lance with a proud smile.

"Hi, I'm Lance Kho, but please just call me Lance. I don't want to be addressed as Mr. Kho or I'll sound as old as Mr. Ray." Everyone laughed at his statement.

"Ha-ha. You don't look old at all Mr. Lance. In fact, you look so handsome. If you want, I can make you an artist. With your looks, you can definitely surpass even the youngest and most popular male artist of AM Entertainment." As a talent manager, Sarah immediately noticed how good-looking Lance is, she even tried to scout him.

"Oh no! Please, I don't have any talent. I'll just put you in shame." Lance said with a fluttering eye as he waves both his hands in front of her.

"By the way, this is Lily. She will be playing a lead role in this film." Sarah introduced Lily to Lance with a broad smile showing how proud she is of Lily. "She is also a famous pop-rock singer."

Lily who was silently drinking her espresso raised her hand to shake with Lance. She felt her heartbeat erratically upon feeling his hands over her. Earlier upon seeing him, she felt strange, thou she tried to ignore it by continuously drinking her coffee and averting her gaze from him, this time she can't help biting her lower lip and giving him a forced smile.

This is not me. Lily thought to herself. This is definitely not me. She used to be highly sociable, friendly and talkative but this time, she can't find words to say. She is speechless. For the first time in her life, she met someone who didn't have to do anything to make her mouth shut. Normally, her brother Jacob would have to shot her an icy glare before she would realize that she has to shut her mouth.
