170. Chapter 170 Chapter 170 You have a crush on the mature woman type. Eileen Stevens had been busy in the kitchen for most of the day at the restaurant, and finally managed to whip up a plate of beef and scrambled eggs that looked decent enough. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, nodding in satisfaction. "Alright!" Her standards for food weren't high; she ate whatever was available while on a mission, so anything that was passable tasted good to her. After leaving the restaurant, Eileen met up with Anne Ross at the bottom of the artist apartment building, and together they headed to Calvin Brooks' villa. As they entered, they found Calvin in the living room, engrossed in a video game, the sounds of intense fighting echoing around the room. Eileen said, "Let him finish his game; we can sit for a bit." Anne obediently took a seat, and Eileen asked, "What do you want to drink? Juice, maybe?" Anne nodded, watching as Eileen confidently walked into the kitchen, pulled out some fresh juice from the fridge, and poured a glass for her. Holding the cup, Anne quietly asked, "Are you... close with Calvin Brooks?" Eileen took a sip of her juice and smiled. "I guess you could say that." Just then, Calvin's voice boomed from behind them, "We became friends through fighting!" Anne looked shocked and asked, "Did you two actually fight?" Calvin raised his voice even higher, "No! It was just me getting beaten up!" Anne stared at Eileen in disbelief, realizing her boss had such impressive fighting skills. Eileen sighed and called out to him, "Wrap up your game and come over; we need to talk business!" Calvin Brooks closed the game and got up, shuffling over in his slippers. He glanced at Eileen Stevens and said, "Pour me a glass, will you?" Eileen poured him another glass of juice. Calvin gulped down most of it before finally turning his attention to Anne Ross. He nodded, "You're quite beautiful. You look even better in person than in photos." It was the first time Anne had been complimented like that by a popular star, and she shyly smiled, "Thank you." Calvin extended his hand, introducing himself, "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Calvin Brooks, just like you, I'm under Eileen Stevens." Anne gently shook Calvin's hand, "Hi, I'm Anne Ross." "Alright," Eileen said with a smile, "let's talk about the music video." Eileen poured him another glass of juice. Calvin gulped down most of it before finally turning his attention to Anne Ross. He nodded, "You're quite beautiful. You look even better in person than in photos." It was the first time Anne had been complimented like that by a popular star, and she shyly smiled, "Thank you." Calvin extended his hand, introducing himself, "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Calvin Brooks, just like you, I'm under Eileen Stevens." Anne gently shook Calvin's hand, "Hi, I'm Anne Ross." "Alright," Eileen said with a smile, "let's talk about the music video." Calvin nodded, "The theme of this album is unrequited love, so the MV will mainly focus on boys secretly in love with girls. It’s divided into three segments: a bad boy in love with a top student, an intern in love with his female boss, and finally, a terminally ill patient in love with his doctor." Calvin tossed the script to Anne for her to look at. She glanced through it and exclaimed, "Calvin Brooks, you have a love story in here?" Calvin: "……" Anne gasped again, "And you're in love with a strong woman type?" Calvin: "……" Eileen leaned in curiously and asked, "How do you know that?" Anne pointed it out, "Look, the boys in the script are all the weaker side, and the girls are all the stronger side. It's pretty obvious!" She clicked her tongue and added, "And in the end, there’s no confession. It’s just a story of unfulfilled love. Calvin Brooks doesn't seem very confident about his crush!" Eileen Stevens exclaimed, "You can tell so much from that? Truly, art comes from life!" Calvin Brooks, frowning, snatched the script away and shot them both an annoyed look. "If you’re not going to film, then forget it!" "Come on, let’s film!" Anne Ross immediately grabbed the script back. "I won’t say another word, I promise!" Anne settled into her chair, sipping juice while studying the script, and Eileen's interest was piqued. She leaned closer to Calvin and teased, "Wow, you really turned your crush into an album! What kind of girl has you feeling this way?" Calvin shot back, "Mind your own business!" He took his juice and headed back to the living room to play video games. Eileen called after him, "With that attitude, you’re going to scare the poor girl away!" Calvin paused for a moment and muttered, "Who could scare her? She’s not afraid at all!" After studying the script all day, Anne finally stretched and asked, "When do we start shooting?" Calvin replied, "In two days. We have to wait for them to prepare your costumes." Anne nodded, "Got it." After saying goodbye to Calvin, Eileen escorted Anne back to her apartment. Then, Eileen logged into the Star Universe Media Weibo account and posted an update about Anne: "Anne Ross will be starring in Calvin Brooks' new album MV—what a visual treat with this handsome guy and beautiful girl!" Anne quickly retweeted the post, adding, "Getting to work soon!" Soon after, Calvin Brooks and his team also retweeted the post, confirming the news. This incident quickly climbed to the trending topics on Weibo: the national heartthrob and the recently returned starlet collaborating on a music video, sparking heated discussions. Just looking at Anne Ross's stunning looks, she was more than qualified to partner with Calvin Brooks. It was truly a match made in heaven! Ever since Anne clarified the rumors about being a third party, she had gained quite a few fans. At this moment, fans from both sides were passionately discussing on Weibo, as if Anne had found a great family to marry into! Anne looked at the Weibo posts, both amused and exasperated. "I guess this is what they mean by... fame brings trouble?" Eileen Stevens shot her a glance and warned, "Don't get too comfortable. Yesenia Stevens is adamant that the leading role was snatched from her. She might be plotting something against you!" Anne smiled brightly and replied, "I’m not worried; I have Eileen Stevens on my side!" Meanwhile, at the Stevens family home... Yesenia Stevens was still living there, scrolling through the comments on Weibo. They were all praising Anne Ross's beauty and eagerly anticipating her performance with Calvin Brooks in the music video. As expected, Calvin Brooks's new album was bound to create a buzz and draw significant attention. But the spotlight was not on Yesenia Stevens; it was on the newly returned Anne Ross! Three years ago, when she first met Anne, Yesenia knew this woman would become her rival. So, while Anne was still on the rise, Yesenia had done everything she could to suppress her, thinking she could rest easy. Little did she know, Eileen Stevens had effortlessly cleared Anne's name and welcomed her back into the entertainment industry! Now, Anne had just returned and already snatched away her leading role. If Anne truly became a top-tier star, would there still be a place for Yesenia Stevens? The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she hurriedly called her assistant. As soon as the call connected, Yesenia Stevens shouted, "I don’t care what methods you use, but Anne Ross must not finish filming this MV smoothly! Otherwise, no one will be able to survive in this industry!" "Do whatever it takes! Kidnap her, throw acid on her, hire trolls to smear her—just bring her down!" After venting her frustration, Yesenia realized her words had been reckless. She took a few deep breaths and continued, "That guy... Feng Yi, he’s out of detention now, right? Find a way to get him to tarnish Anne Ross's personal life. Pay him whatever he wants." After giving her instructions, she hung up the phone, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Nothing was more reliable than the words of an ex-boyfriend. Once Feng Yi got entangled with Anne Ross, she couldn't wait to see how Eileen Stevens would manage to salvage her reputation!
