Chapter 346: Changed Opinion
After having lunch together, Lionel left. Lionel tried to convince her to attend the premier, once again.
"You only want me to attend so that Gabriella can come, right?" Viviana asked. Otherwise, he had no incentive to ask her to the extent of begging. It’s not like anyone would know her in his field and she’s a celebrity.
And no, she knew for sure that he did not want his association with the Vitale family known either. He’s a big name in Hollywood. He’s his own man with a great support system.
The only reason he would want her there is for Gabriella’s sake. She can do that for him but she expected something in return. He should at least pass the information to Leander.
Or Leon Michaels as he calls himself now.
Leon... Leon...
The nerve of that guy to name himself after her dead friend! Well, to speak on his side, all the "Leo" adjacent names were all taken. One is his friend, another is her brother, another is his dead name... Are there any more names with Leo in them? She didn’t think so.
"Get Leon Michaels, Nellie. I’ll never be the third wheel. What am I even going to do in the premiere?" she asked.
"Er...Watch the movie, perhaps! And maybe meet the stars...?" Lionel smiled. "I’ll give you the first-row seat, next to me."
"Why? To cause speculation?" she scoffed.
"Everyone knows who you are. Your brand designed the wedding dress in the movie. We are expecting that dress to become an iconic dress, like Sarah Jessica Parker’s wedding gown and Marilyn Monroe’s white subway grate dress...."
"I know it will be," Viviana was sure of that. "I put my input in the design."
