Bringing the Nation's Husband Home

V | Officially Entering the Crew

Producer Johnson smiled enthusiastically. "Mr. Smith, you're finally here! Come, come and sit down."

Just like everyone else, Isabelle had turned towards the door. Halfway through her turn, producer Johnson's words sunk in. Her heart shook and, before she could fully digest his words, Alexander had come into sight.

Isabelle could hear the crowd taking in deep breaths and speaking in low voices tinged with confusion.

"The king of movies is the second lead?"

"Oh my goodness, no wonder the news were kept hidden. This is definitely big news! I'm sure Instagram would be going crazy!"

Even though Alexander started off as an actor, he was the CEO of Global Entertainment right now.

About ninety percent of the artists in the banquet hall were signed under Global Entertainment and the main investor for 'Alluring Times' was also Alexander Smith.

The crowd stood up, following the producer's lead. It was no wonder the producer and director wanted to wait for him before ordering the food.

Unable to process the information, Isabelle remained seated even though everyone else was standing. Camila had to reach out and roughly pull her up for she was unaware of what was happening.

Alexander wore his usual emotionless expression, not acknowledging the standing crowd. Taking large strides, he walked towards the only empty seat, sitting down. Those who had worked with Alexander were accustomed to his lack of expression.

Only after seeing that he found his seat did the producer sit down.

He waved towards the waiter for the menu before personally passing it to Alex. "Mr. Smith, what would you like to eat?"

Alexander didn't bother looking at the menu, throwing a casual, "Anything."

The producer's enthusiasm didn't falter despite Alex's coldness. With a smile plastered to his face, he opened the menu and ordered the most expensive dishes listed before indicating for the rest of the table to order.

In the presence of Global Entertainment boss, no one was brave enough to order anything. Everyone courteously refused the menu when the waiter passed it to them.

Only Helen reached for the menu. Gracefully, she opened it, ordering two of her favorite dishes.

Isabelle only came back to her senses when the menu reached her, She gave the waiter a slight smile while waving her hands, indicating that she didn't want to order anything before returning the menu to him.

After the waiter left with the menu, Isabelle lifted her head to look at Alexander, who was directly in front of her.

The banquet hall was dimly lit with warm lights, a ray hitting Alexander's face, giving him a distant feeling. Beside him sat the director for 'Alluring Times'. Alexander shook his head slightly at something the director said, then continued listening.

He seemed to have sensed Isabelle's gaze as he suddenly turned, looking straight at her. She immediately turned in shock, pretending to be speaking to Camila.

She was almost caught. Isabelle dared not look in Alexander's direction again.

In a dinner like this, there would definitely be alcohol.

Maybe due to Alexander's presence, producer Johnson generously ordered two bottles of royal salute whiskey. The waiter poured a full cup for everyone, refilling at least 2-3 times before the atmosphere became warm and joyous.

Alexander remained quiet. Even if others came to give toast, he barely spoke, only rising his glass. When others came to greet him, he would nod slightly. His face remained cold and emotionless, giving the impression that he had come from another world.
