Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 147

Susan chuckled and said, “Anyway, I still have to thank you. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask.”

Mr. Witt was about to decline, but remembering a predicament he was facing, his expression changed and he couldn’t help but say, “Mrs. Landor, I’m sorry, but I actually do have a favor to ask. Could I perhaps have a way to contact you?”

Susan was momentarily taken aback.

Mr. Witt was indeed a character.

Usually, people would offer a polite refusal to such a proposition, even if just as a formality.

But this director agreed immediately.

Some might find Mr. Witt’s approach a bit too forward, but Susan found herself appreciating his straightforward nature. Smiling, she handed over her contact information.

With her contact details in hand, Mr. Witt walked away, quite pleased.

“I’m off to get ready,” Theresa said to Susan with a smile.

“Good luck!” Susan cheered her on, playfully waving her fist.

Susan had spent the entire day at the filming site.

Initially, she assumed it would be a rather dull experience, but to her surprise, she found herself quite engrossed, particularly captivated by Rose’s performance.

It was so dazzling that even as a woman, she couldn’t get enough of watching her.

By the time they wrapped up the advertisement shooting, it was already evening.

Mr. Witt was extremely satisfied with the footage they’d captured. Turning to Theresa, he mentioned, “I’ll send this off for post–production. In all likelihood, everything should be fine. But just in case we need to reshoot any scenes, we’ll need your cooperation.”

“Of course,” Theresa agreed with a smile, which brought a grin to Mr. Witt’s face.

With business matters concluded, Mr. Witt cast a glance at Susan and Theresa standing

together. An idea struck him, and he couldn’t resist asking, “Mrs. Landor, I was wondering if you’re free tonight. May I invite you to dinner?”

Susan blinked.

Mr. Witt was quite the eager beaver.

He had just mentioned needing her help, and now he couldn’t hold back his impatience.

Since she had no other plans, she accepted the invitation with a smile.

Feeling elated, Mr. Witt then turned to Theresa to ask, “Miss Rose, are you also available? Would you like to join us for dinner?”

“Me?” Theresa paused, taken aback.

“I may need Miss Rose’s assistance with something as well,” Mr. Witt added, slightly sheepish.

Mr. Witt, a renowned figure in the industry, had a pleasant collaboration with them this time. Theresa didn’t see any reason to decline the dinner invitation.

Hence, the trio set off to dine together.

Mr. Witt promptly reserved a private dining room in the seven–star hotel where they were filming the advertisement.

While they waited for their dishes to arrive, he couldn’t contain his enthusiasm any longer.

“Mrs. Landor, to be honest, I have a film project in mind. I wonder if you would be interested in investing in it?” he asked, unable to hold back.

“A film project?” Susan was somewhat bewildered. “I’m completely unfamiliar with this realm.”

Mr. Witt hurriedly explained, “It’s quite simple, really. You provide the financial backing, I handle the film–making, and once the movie turns a profit, you’ll get a share of the earnings!”

Susan raised an eyebrow. But what if the movie tanked? Her investment would go down the drain.

Although Mr. Witt had just assisted her, she couldn’t just throw her money into a
