Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

0 Chapter 148 Meanwhile, Thomas kept complaining tearfully. Ben patiently listened to him at first.

Ten minutes later, Ben began to be expressionless.

Twenty minutes later, he put his phone aside and directly turned off the receiver and microphone.

“What's wrong with Thomas?” Susan asked.

Frowning, Ben replied, “God knows. He just kept complaining about why Monica beclike this and lied to him. I asked him what happened, but he refused to telland just repeated the two questions.” A glimmer cinto Susan's eyes.

She got a rough idea of why Thomas kept saying that.

Nevertheless, a few hours ago, Thomas formally apologized to her and begged her to keep what Monica had done a secret.

Seeing his pitiful look, Susan agreed.

Thus, Susan didn't tell Ben what Monica had done and told the crew to keep it a secret.

At this moment, Susan didn't intend to tell Ben about this, but she couldn't help but ask curiously, “Ben, do you know why Thomas is so obsessed with Monica?” She was confused as to why Thomas, such a normal person, would lose his mind when it cto Monica's affairs.

Could Monica really be a smokescreen? At the thought of this, Susan shivered and quickly shook her head, thinking that she had really been misled by Rose! That was a horrible idea! “There's a story between them,” Ben said, raising his brows.

“Tellabout it,” Susan said curiously.

| Chapter 148 09 Ben said, “When Thomas was a child, he once went to visit his relatives in the north where there was a rare heavy snow. He, who suffered from snow blindness, had so blurred vision that he could barely see things although he tried very hard. At that time, he was unaware that he was just suffering from snow blindness, thinking that he was completely blind, so he was panic— stricken.” “And then?” Susan asked as she took out a box of popcorn.

“Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?” Ben asked casually.

Susan squinted and said, “You really think I'm overweight?” Ben composedly changed the topic, “However, Thomas has a strong sense of self-esteem since he was a child, and he didn’t want to disturb his relatives. Despite his blurred vision, he still pretended to be normal and acted as usual every day. Therefore, no one noticed that his vision had becvery blurred.

“Once his cousin offered to take him out, he agreed despite his poor vision. Unexpectedly, he got lost on the way. At this time, in his own words, an angelic girl appeared in front of him. She could tell that he was in a predicament, and helped him call the police. But because he was new to the city and did not know his relatives* specific address, it would take the police stto find his relatives. The girl took him back to her home.” Susan, whose eyes lit up after she ate a popcorn, suggested, “Can you polish the story a little? You tell it in a simple, straightforward way! It sounds boring.” Ben replied, “Uh, that's a little difficult.” “Forget it, forget it. Just continue,” Susan said, deciding to lower her standards a little.

Ben continued with an expressionless face, “I don't know what exactly happened. In short, he stayed at the girl's hfor two days and fell for her for no reason.” “There's a reason for that,” Susan disagreed with his point, “Thomas, who was almost blind back then, regarded the girl as the only light in his life.” Ben said, “Well. Anyway, that's the whole story.” Susan continued eating her popcorn.

Ben looked at her, while she also looked at him.

° *= A 8% 09:57 Chapter 148 After a long while, Susan said, “Go on.” Ben replied, “I said that's the whole story. The girl is Monica.” Susan was speechless, feeling the urge to throw her popcorn.

Although Ben was a bad storyteller, he had made what had happened between Thomas and Monica clear.

Given the story between them, Thomas's obsession with Monica seemed explainable.

After all, the obsession one had had since his childhood was the purest and most unforgettable.

+5 Susan, who seemed to have understood Thomas's feelings a little, involuntarily said, “Pick up your phone and listen to what Thomas is saying.” Ben picked up his phone. After a while, he said, “He has fallen asleep.” “Will he be fine?” Susan asked.

“He's at home. I'll call his mother and ask her to check on him later. He should be fine,” Ben said calmly. “He got drunk because of Monica several times. Take it easy.” Susan sighed with emotion.

“Why are you suddenly interested in Thomas?” Ben asked.

“I want to find out if Thomas's liking for Monica is a smokescreen,” Susan said subconsciously.

“Huh?” Ben said, looking at her in confusion.

Susan coughed and suddenly felt a little guilty, saying, “Nothing. I'm going to bed now. Bye.” Then she quickly ended the video call and patted her chest, thinking that she shouldn't have believed Rose's words! Thinking that she had Rose’s number on her phone, Susan solemnly sent Rose a message, [Thomas really loves Monica. He and Ben are just friends.] Theresa replied quickly, [Well, I got it.] Chapter 148 Susan was speechless..

She did not think that Theresa had got it.

[Susan, have you read the script?] Theresa suddenly changed the topic.

Stunned for a moment, Susan replied, [Not yet.] *F 8% 09:57 You should read it. The script makesfeel a little... Anyway, you'll know after reading it.] Theresa sent another message.

Theresa's message aroused Susan's curiosity.

She leaned against the bed, took out the script, and began to read it carefully.

In the beginning, Susan just wanted to look through it.

But after reading a few pages, she involuntarily straightened her back.

After reading a few more pages, she was absorbed in the script.

It was getting dark.

However, Susan couldn't stop reading carefully.

Two hours later, she finally finished her reading.

In the two hours, she read while wiping away her tears and trying to calm down.

The story seemed a little plain, but it was actually very attractive. She felt a little empty after reading it, and even felt like crying at the thought of the story.

Susan finally realized why this art movie needed such a great investment.

It was a story across tand space, so it required a large amount of money to make the movie realistic.

Without enough investment, the movie would be much less realistic and perhaps unable to touch the heartstrings of the audience.

Susan stared blankly at the script.

She wanted to close it, but felt an inexplicable surge of emotion.

Chapter 148 Susan involuntarily sent a message to Theresa, [Are you asleep?] Unexpectedly, Theresa quickly replied, [Not yet. | can't fall asleep.] [Is it because of the script?] Susan asked.

[You've also read it, haven't you?] Theresa immediately replied, [I'm really impressed by Mr. Witt's imagination. The story seems absurd, but is actually realistic. I'm so...] Susan happened to want to talk about the script with someone.

So the two of them began to chat.

It was not until dawn that they stopped reluctantly.

Susan was still tossing and turning in bed.

She really liked the script.

However, this kind of art love movie usually didn't do well at the box office.

What if she invested sixty million dollars and had a bad fall? If Susan was going to invest her money, she wouldn't be so conflicted.

However, sixty million dollars was such a large sum of money that she would have to use the money left by Ben if she wanted to invest in the movie, which made her feel a little stressed.

But the story was amazing.

It would be a pity if it couldn't be made into a movie.

Susan thought about it all night and didn’t sleep well.

The next day, she struggled to go to work.

After a busy day, when she was going hlistlessly, a car stopped beside her.

Ben rolled down the window and raised his eyebrows at her, saying, “Get in the car.” “You're back?” Susan asked and got in the car as her eyes lit up.

Ben drove here himself, so Susan sat in the passenger seat.

Chapter 148 Ben glanced at her and asked in surprise, “Why do you look listless?” Susan sighed and told Ben about Mr. Witt's request.

“It's a great script,” Ben asked casually, “but you are worried about the box office?” “Yes,” Susan answered, nodding hesitantly.

“How much does it need?” Ben asked.

“It needs sixty million dollars in total,” said Susan.

“Sixty million dollars?” Ben asked, a little surprised.

Susan said with a bitter face, “You also think it a large investment, don't you?" After a brief silence, Ben asked, “You've been conflicted all night just because of such a small sum of money?” Susan said in astonishment, “Such a small sum of money?” “Have you checked the cash card | gave you?” Ben asked.

“No,” Susan answered, a little embarrassed.

“Check it, and you will find it unnecessary to worry about investing sixty million dollars,” Ben said unhurriedly.

Susan was at a loss for words.

Although Ben was her husband, she still had an impulse to beat him.

Susan said stubbornly, “Even if sixty million dollars is not a large. sum money for you I bet you don't want to make an unsuccessful investment.” “It will not necessarily be an unsuccessful investment,” Ben pointed out.

Susan said, in a dilemma, “But judging from the general box offices of art movies it will definitely be an unsuccessful investment.” “What's the nof the story?” Ben asked.

Susan answered, “Love in Bitter Winter.” IMI Chapter 148 u FR “Do you want to know if the movie will be a blockbuster?” Ben asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Of course | do. But the problem is that no one knows before the movie is released,” Susan said, a little upset.

“No, someone knows,” Ben said with a smile.

Susan blinked her eyes and suddenly realized what he meant, asking, “Isabella?”

“She'll be released in a few days.

Doesn't she have the power to see the future? Her power happens to be able to hepl us, Ben said lightly, “Tell r. Witt to visit her and ask if she wants to invest in the movie. Then we'll know the prospects of the movie.” Susan immediately looked at Ben with an indescribable expression.

“What's wrong?” Ben asked in puzzlement.

Susan sighed, “I just feel that Isabella, who messed with you, is quite pitiful.” Isabella, who could do fine in every industry with the power to see the future, shouldn't have messed with Ben.

Now, not only did she achieve nothing, but her power to see the future was used by Ben.

It was so tragic that anyone who heard it would shed tears.

“So, do you want to use her power?” Ben asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Yes, of course. It will be a waste not to use it,” Susan replied without hesitation.

Ben couldn't help pinching Susan's face with a smile.
