Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love-Chapter 2358 - 64: She Relies on Herself Alone
When Leslie Howard emerged from the bathroom, David Redington was already up and impeccably dressed.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
But then she thought it was quite normal. ππΏπππ°π²ππ§π π§π²π₯.ππ¨π
God David Redington should have just felt βcoldly rejectedβ by her.
Considering David Redingtonβs reputation and background, he would probably think she was ungrateful.
Now he probably will just leave directly, and itβs best to not associate with this woman who doesnβt recognize greatness at a glance from now on.
Leslie Howard didnβt particularly care about it; although she needed David Redingtonβs help now, the help wasnβt significant enough for her to exchange her feelings for it.
You could say, Leslie Howard could afford to give up anything now, except her feelings.
And David Redingtonβs proposal to βdate with marriage as the premiseβ, to her, was merely a fleeting novelty.
Having left her teenage years behind and matured almost overnight, Leslie Howard could no longer indulge in those pink dreams that belonged to young girls.
The fantasy of marrying a heartthrob should be left to those young girls who are not yet worldly-wise and have never been hit by the harshness and twists of reality.
Thinking of this, Leslie Howard couldnβt help but smile coyly and walked over to David Redington.
She deliberately caught the belt of Davidβs overcoat and whispered lightly, "Ms. Redington, you canβt be so petty and mad at others, and you mustnβt forget what you promised. Todayβs kissing scene, donβt shoot it with Winona Wallace."
While speaking, her delicate white hand seemed to unintentionally brush across the shirt at David Redingtonβs waist underneath his overcoat.
She actually knew that David Redington was interested in the current her.
How could he not be interested?
Leslie Howard, once a prodigy, naturally knew that men like David Redington, who had never faced setbacks, have never encountered a βmischievous temptressβ like her.
But interest is just interest; itβs the novelty that supports it.
While David Redingtonβs novelty towards her was still plentiful, she could afford to act freely.
But this novelty isnβt love, and when one day it disappears, Leslie Howard to David Redington would just be a speck of dust among the masses.
Her coquettish coquetry indeed worked.
David Redingtonβs long and distinct hand pressed down on her restless little hand, and he coldly said, "Alright."
Alright?
Hmm, that means he agreed.
Leslie Howard immediately gave David Redington a dazzling smile: "Thank you, Ms. Redington, then Iβll go shoot the scenes first."
With that, she withdrew her hand from David Redingtonβs mighty grasp.
David Redington neither stopped her nor asked her to stay, watching Leslie Howard carry a seemingly heavy, fully packed travel bag, and walk out the door.

Arrived at the set, lounge.
Leslie Howard huffed and puffed as she placed her travel bag, necessary for filming, on her dedicated seat.
There were only two actors in the crew with private lounges and makeup rooms, and they were David Redington and Winona Wallace.
Other than that, even though Leslie Howard was one of the heroines, all her treatments deeply aligned with her current positionβsharing a large lounge and makeup with other actors.
Leslie Howard was unpacking her cup, standby overcoat, hot water bottle, and other things from the travel bag.
Usually, her cousin Irene Stephenson would help her, but now she was alone, having to do everything herself.
Just after Leslie Howard got a cup of hot water and was thinking of grabbing some breakfast since she hadnβt eaten yet, she heard a voice calling over by the makeup mirror.
"Miss Howard, come over quickly, once weβre done with your makeup, the others will need to do theirs. We should start early."
