[Chapter 274]
She even went so far as to think he was a swindler with good looks.
Fortunately, she did not say that out loud.
She felt herself blushing now.
"Why… why didn't you say so, you damned girl?" Hannah said, blushing a little.
"I told you! But you didn't seem to care much. Huh… Hannah, why is your face so red?" Marie asked as she looked at Hannah's face.
"I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm going to go to the washroom. Chat with Mr. Lidell!" Hannah covered her face and ran away.
Hannah washed her face in the washroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
Although she was already more than 30 years old, her figure was just like a young girl's. She even had a mature appeal that young girls did not have.
Even after washing her face, her bare face was no worse than typical celebrities.
She was confident about herself. Many young men liked mature women like her.
However, she did not seem to have seduced David at all.
Did he only like innocent girls like Marie?
She was also attracted to an almost perfect man like David.
Now 33 years old, she was also looking for someone to lean on. She did not expect to have some happy ending with a rich heir like David and instead just hoped he would occasionally think of her. It would be better if she could have a baby.
Unfortunately, David did not seem so interested in her.
David had no idea that a mature and beautiful woman had set her eyes on him.
However, she was not the only one who had their eyes on him.
He was now sitting in the corner waiting for the final donation ceremony while Marie talked t o him.
Homer tried to come over several times, but David and Marie were busy talking and laughing with each other. He was afraid he might upset him if he failed to explain himself when he rushed over.
This film premiere was held to gather the elites of the entertainment industry in the country s o they could discuss the direction of the film industry and to network with business partners.
Of course, it would take a powerful filmmaker to gather everyone.
Not long after, an old man in his 60s stood on the stage. He was the initiator of this gathering, the internationally renowned director, Jeffrey Hubbard.
"Good evening to all of you, and welcome to this premiere…"
After uttering some pleasantries, he finally got down to business.
"I guess you must be curious about what I've filmed this time. I can tell you that it's a documentary. I've spent two years traveling to many poor mountainous areas in the country t o film this, and I can assure you that everything in it is true. Please enjoy."
Once Jeffrey finished, the film began to play on the big screen behind him.
The guests in the hall stopped talking and found seats to sit down and watch the film.
David was impressed after finishing the hour-and-a-half-long film.
The film focused on how difficult it was for children in poor mountainous areas to go to school.
Many of the children had to leave their homes at 4 or 5 o'clock before dawn to attend school. They had to walk three or four hours on the mountain to reach a run-down school.
The school did not even have doors and windows. The cold winter wind blew, and the students 'hands, feet, and faces were red with cold, but they still sat in the classroom and studied hard.
Some schools had a hard time recruiting teachers because of their poor condition. The teachers there had to pretty much know everything as they had to teach the entire syllabus.
Some schools even had only one principal left behind, guarding the only hope for the children i n these mountainous areas.
It was similar to the charity gala David attended in Lake City last time. However, this one was filmed by an internationally renowned director, so it was much classier than the 10-minute video clip the last time. It was also more influential and struck closer to the heart.
Many of the female guests were teary-eyed by the end of it.
