Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 339 - 338: Secretly Holding Hands

The people in the room were surprised by Cameron Grant’s exclamation.

Celine Thorne also didn’t expect to run into Cameron Grant and Jensen Sterling here and was slightly taken aback.

Then she walked over: "What are you doing here?"

Before Jensen Sterling could speak, Ian Lee sighed and said, "I’m trying to get Jensen Sterling to play the male lead, but no matter how I persuade him, he just won’t agree."

You could clearly hear Ian Lee’s tone; he was quite frustrated.

Celine Thorne turned her gaze to Jensen Sterling: "Huh? Won’t agree?"

Cameron Grant: "..." There’s no need to put it like that.

He laughed a couple of times: "It’s not that there’s no room for negotiation."

Ian Lee was still holding his breath: "It doesn’t matter what you say. You should ask your artist if he agrees."

Jensen Sterling flipped a page of the script with his fingers, then softly and slowly said, "I can consider it."

Director Lawson: "Did you hear that... there’s no room for negotiation."

He stopped mid-sentence, realizing he had spoken without thinking in his earlier anger, and it took him two seconds to process what Jensen Sterling had just said.

Ian Lee’s eyes widened: "What did you just say?"

Jensen Sterling helplessly repeated, "I can consider it."

After listening, Ian Lee scanned his face back and forth, suspiciously asking, "Have you lost your mind? Weren’t you just disagreeing? What changed your mind all of a sudden?"

Cameron Grant: "..." Why else? His wife is acting in the film; how could he refuse?

He just didn’t want to film intimate scenes with others, but if it’s with his wife, it’s a different story.

Jensen Sterling didn’t care about what others thought; his articulate fingers continued flipping through the script, speaking in a calm and steady voice, "It’s nothing; I just reviewed the script again and suddenly found it quite good."

Ian Lee was silent for two seconds, gave him a peculiar look, and said, "Well, that is quite sudden."

But Ian Lee was delighted that Jensen Sterling agreed. He didn’t care why, as long as he agreed to act in it.

He even feared Jensen might back out, so he immediately called for staff to send over the contract. There was a printer at hand, and everything from signing to stamping was done in one swift motion.

Cameron Grant: "..." That was fast.

Indeed, it was fast. After confirming the two main leads, Ian Lee had the staff prepare the contract just in case, and sure enough, it was useful now.

That’s what you call foresight.

Mia Sutton’s contract was also drafted along, so it was printed and handed to Celine Thorne.

Celine Thorne took it, glanced through it briefly, and the contract’s content seemed quite fitting.

Ian Lee, holding Jensen Sterling’s signed contract, laughed heartily: "Finally resolved a major worry."

Cameron Grant: "..."

Celine Thorne: "..."

However, Celine Thorne roughly understood what they had been talking about earlier and just casually smiled.

Unexpectedly, this famous actor, Jensen, is so attentive to her artist.

However, didn’t Mia Sutton discuss taking on this role with her teacher, Jensen?

In fact, she didn’t. In the past two days, Mia Sutton was busy preparing for matters related to the film, researching, taking notes, and getting a detailed understanding of the film’s background.

She forgot to mention it to Jensen Sterling.

Ian Lee turned and said to Celine Thorne, "Celine, please review Mia Sutton’s contract. If it looks good, it’d be best if we sign today."

Celine Thorne acknowledged: "Sure, I’ll take a look."

After finishing, Ian Lee said to Jensen Sterling, "Since you’ve agreed to play this role, let’s go meet the actress. She’s a nice young girl."

Seeing this, Cameron Grant laughed and said, "No need to introduce us; we all know each other."

Ian Lee paused, surprised, and looked up: "Know each other?"

Celine Thorne nodded with a smile: "Yes, we’re from the same company. In fact, it was Jensen who discovered Mia and signed her on."

Ian Lee really didn’t know this. In his usual life, he was engrossed in filmmaking and working on scripts with screenwriters.

Although Mia Sutton’s popularity had risen recently, Ian Lee generally didn’t focus on such matters, so he hadn’t really looked into it much.

After hearing Celine Thorne, he was initially surprised, then quickly adapted: "That’s great, working in the same company makes collaboration easier and saves quite a bit of hassle."

"Well then, let’s go see the female lead now."

Jensen Sterling had already stood up when he started speaking; as Ian Lee finished, he calmly agreed, "Okay."

Mia Sutton had just finished reading the script and was about to find Ian Lee to discuss it when she turned around and saw several people approaching, leaving her completely stunned.

Even when they reached her, she still hadn’t snapped out of it, with only one thought in her mind: Why is Jensen here?

Mia Sutton’s dazed look was subtle, so Ian Lee didn’t notice; he just told her, "Jensen Sterling is our male lead this time."

"I heard from Celine you’re from the same company, so that’s good. You can discuss the plot more, as a veteran and newcomer."

Not until everyone sat down did Mia Sutton gradually regain her senses. Jensen Sterling was sitting right next to her.

As if recalling something, she picked up her phone and quickly typed a message.

Meanwhile, Jensen Sterling’s phone buzzed.

Mia Sutton stared at her phone for two seconds, noting that Jensen wasn’t moving.

Then she slightly turned her head, trying hard to blink at Jensen Sterling.

She gently tugged at Jensen’s sleeve under the table, signaling him to check his phone.

Before Mia Sutton could let go, her fingertips were caught.

Jensen Sterling gently squeezed her fingers twice.

Mia Sutton’s pupils instantly widened slightly, her whole body tensed up, her mouth slightly open, unsure how to respond.

Seeing her little actions, Jensen Sterling’s eyes showed a hint of a smile, as he unhurriedly unlocked his phone.

Displayed was a single line: "Jensen, don’t let them know about our relationship."

Jensen Sterling understood her intention but was slightly displeased; he squeezed her fingers gently again, seemingly as a mild punishment.

The young woman discreetly blinked twice at him.

Mia Sutton wanted to pull her hand back, but Jensen didn’t let go. Helplessly, Mia Sutton left her hand there.

Worried about being discovered, she frequently glanced up at Ian Lee.

The hand holding hers was now lightly sweating; for some reason, this stealthy handholding felt like an affair, carrying a sense of covert excitement.

Mia Sutton’s mind was entirely on the hand under the table, completely missing what Ian Lee was saying.
