Chapter 179: Pupu Is With William
Much to Kylie’s surprise, once Ethan had parked, he didn’t get out of his car. It was unnerving. He just sat there, staring up at her up through his window. An hour past, and then another two, and then he drove away. Thinking of Ethan’s sudden change, Kylie could not figure out what that was all about or what he had hidden from her. She wanted to hear his explanation if he exerted effort to coax her, but Ethan didn’t do it; instead, he drove away.

The next morning, Kylie and Lucas found a secluded table at The Tea Maiden. They ordered drinks, and while they waited, Lucas pulled out his tablet and said, “The trailer for your show is complete and live on the internet. Press play and take a look.”
Kylie watched the video. She thought it was pretty good and she said so. There were comments below the video, and she scrolled through them. One person said, “Kylie Finch is so adorable. She is a walking emoji.”
Another person said, “Kylie is hilarious. I liked how she didn’t have any makeup on. If she had, her face would have been a mess when she came out of the water. It seems she had a lot of potentials,”
“She is lucky,” someone replied. “She has perfect skin. She even looks younger recently, and someone might take care of her from behind,”
Lucas took the tablet away from her and said, “You might have noticed that Khloe wasn’t in the trailer. That is because David Ham asked the editors to cut out the parts when Khloe went to the shopping mall and any scenes where her makeup was melting off her face – which is pretty much every scene that she was in. That evil woman really manipulated everything. How cunning!”
Kylie nodded with satisfaction and gave Lucas a high five. “Hey, forget about Khloe, she’s is not important,”
Suddenly there was a commotion then, near the entrance, and they turned in unison to see what was going on. When they saw that William Wolf and his puppy, Pupu, had just come in, they stood up and waved at him in a come hither motion. As William approached their table, he let Pupu go free, and the puppy jumped into Kylie’s arms.
Kylie got confused about why Pupu seems to like William when the last time this dog didn’t like him.
“How did you manage to persuade Pupu to like you?” She quickly asked William.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Do I need to explain in detail? This kind of dog often love someone who will show him care and feed him with good food,”
Hearing what William said, Kylie somewhat lost. She just ignores what William had said.
“Pupu, I miss you!”
The dog wagged its tail and settled at her arms.
Kylie sat down with Pupu in her arms, and she happened to notice a small box tied around his neck. William smiled at the sight of them together and said, “Pupu, you must like beautiful girls as much as I do. Too bad for you, though; she already belongs to me! Soon she will be my woman,”
Kylie ignored William’s last comment and asked him about the box that was strung at Pupu’s neck. William opened the box, and Lucas and Kylie were shocked. There was a diamond necklace in the box.
Kylie frowned as she looked at William. “You aren’t trying to woo me,” she asked. “are you? If Ethan were here right now, he would kill you. Just walk away, and we can all pretend that this conversation never happened. You knew that Ethan wouldn’t like what belongs to him grabbed by others.”
“You think so, then let me have a try. After all, the public does like our tandem!” He sounded arrogant while staring at Kylie with a pleasant smile.
“Stop it! This is not funny. You even include my dog,” She sneered at him.
Kylie took the necklace from the box and put it around Pupu’s neck.
“Because of my work,” William said, “I am no longer able to watch Pupu or give her the affection that she deserves. If you come with me, we can watch Pupu together. If you don’t come with me, though, I will have to surrender her to the SPCA where she, in all probability, would be put down.”
“Pupu doesn’t belong to you. It is Ethan who took him the time I let go of him!”
“Then, I should do what I’ve told you,” William said.
Hearing this, two things happened simultaneously. First, her heart broke for Pupu, and then she began to hate William. Anybody who could be this callous, in her books, was a monster. “I cannot go with you,” Kylie hissed, “but you mustn’t throw this dog away. When you bought her, you took on the responsibility. If you did as you have said that you must do, it would show what an immoral person you really are and I would expose you to the world, tarnishing your reputation wherever I go, until your career is ruined.
“The dog is adorable,” Kylie continued. “Take her home and be thankful that dogs don’t hold grudges.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“I’ll think about it,” William replied. “Right now, though, I think that we should be preparing for our next scene. It is the sex scene. Perhaps we can go back to my house and practice our lines and discuss which positions you prefer. The director wants the scene to feel authentic, so we should probably get to know each other better.”
“I agree,” Kylie said, “but I’m not willing to go to your house. Who knows what kind of a stunt you might try to pull. We could meet at the studio, though.”
William felt annoyed when she heard what Kylie had said. “Why do you refuse me when you knew that it is part of our job?”
“I didn’t trust you, nor anybody else. Most men are liars,” She said brutally. How about we leave now and went to the studio?” She said.
William shrugged his shoulders and they all left and went to the studio to start their rehearsal.
