Chapter 71: Humiliated In Public
There was an increasing loud scream of surprise. Lily Lawrence shoved through the crowd as well. “Why are you screaming? It’s just a man.” But she also screamed when she saw who it was. She even took a step backward out of excitement.
That step was right on Khloe’s foot. “Lily, you can see Cliff Benjamin every day. Why are you so excited, like the others?” Khloe criticized her with dissatisfaction. What Khloe had said was what Cliff had wanted to hear. He squinted slightly.
“No, no, no, Khloe, it’s my husband!”
“Your husband? Don’t you just have a sugar daddy?” Khloe replied with an expression of disbelief.
Lily was too thrilled to say another word. She waved and danced, but she still couldn’t speak a whole sentence.
Lily was the one who had just mocked Kylie for sleeping with the director, and had just claimed that she would never yield, even if the man was her Prince Charming!
But, this man was more than a Prince Charming to her. Lily wanted to take back everything she had just said. Forget the director, and she would be willing to sleep with the whole crew to act alongside this man!
Khloe looked over. Director Johnson was smiling from ear to ear, and gripped the motorcycle’s handlebars, as though he was worried that the man would escape.
The man had curly brown hair, and his earring glowed every time he tilted his head. He was wearing a motorcycle suit, with a helmet in one hand, and a charming smile on his face.
William Woolf! He was Kylie’s new partner! Khloe clenched her fists with jealousy. Why did Kylie get to have all the handsome men?!
Cliff, who was standing beside Khloe, was also unhappy. Although Cliff had the title of “Best Actor,” the crew respected him more than they adored him. He had never witnessed such a situation, in which the crew screamed out their affection for a man.
“He’s so good-looking! I even heard that a foreign fan who loved him so badly spent every cent to come to America for him”
“Sleeping with William Woolf is my life goal, so don’t get in my way!” Lily’s eyes were green with envy. “This is impossible. How can this be real! Kylie isn’t qualified to be William’s partner!”
William was one of the main reasons that Lily had entered the entertainment industry, to begin with. She had become an actress to get closer to him.
But Lily had been having a hard time due to her common background. When she had given up the idea, she had found herself a sugar daddy, who was a rich businessman. In spite of her many efforts, William’s agents had never responded to her, afraid that she merely planned to ride on William’s coattails.
Amid the mess, Julian Johnson said to William with a grin: “William, given your charisma, how can you risk coming here by motorcycle, and alone? I must thank you on behalf of the mayor for not causing a heavy traffic jam.”
William weighed the helmet in his hand and smiled. “If it hadn’t been for you, I would not have come here.”
“Oh, where is Kylie Finch? She has been waiting at the gate for a long time. Where is she right now?” Julian asked.
At that moment, Lily stepped forward to introduce herself to him: “William, I’m Lily Lawrence. It’s so nice to meet you!”
William turned around slowly and put on his most alluring look. Lily was beyond thrilled! Her heartbeat sped up, and her face flushed. She would die for that man’s smile!
At a slow pace, William reached out his hand to her.
Jesus, the man was going to shake her hand!! Lily was so nervous that she wiped her hand on her acting clothes before reaching out her hand to William.
Right when their hands were about to touch, William’s hand passed by her side, to instead catch a woman who was standing beside Lily.
Kylie Finch! It was Kylie Finch again!
“You know Kylie Finch?” Julian was surprised. Everyone present focused their attention on William. William explained, with happiness in his eyes: “I have ridden on her.”
That explanation was ambiguous enough to let people think. Kylie was furious, and her cheek muscles tightened. Couldn’t he be clear?!
Seeing that Kylie was becoming annoyed, William further explained: “I was in a fantasy movie once, and she was my ride then.”
“Really? That movie was a great success. Why didn’t I see her?” Julian was taken aback. Kylie felt like she had survived, and her hands were slightly shaking.
She tried to explain with a smile: “I was wearing a mask the whole time. It was literally difficult to recognize me.”
Julian suddenly realized that Kylie had mentioned, in the opening ceremony, that all of her past roles hadn’t been human, but he hadn’t thought twice about it.
“Since you two know each other so well, then we can begin now without further delay.”
Kylie thought to herself: Director Johnson, let’s shoot the newly-added scene! I would definitely portray it well!
In the scene, the head of the gangsters, Sam, showed up at the right moment and brought Becky Ruiz, who was unconscious, back to his place. But when Becky woke up, she didn’t know what had happened and fought back fiercely, throwing a mess of horse shit in Sam’s face in public.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
William knew what Kylie had in mind, from her satisfied eyes. He stood beside her and said in a low voice: “My lady, are you planning to act out the scene in which you humiliate me in public?!”
Kylie rolled her eyes. “Wait and see!”
“You love me as deeply as you hate me…” William smirked. “I am enjoying the process of taming you. Let’s go and see!”
“Great! I’ll torture you!” Kylie clenched her teeth.
This asshole had totally cornered her! The director had added to her part, which had already caused many actors in the crew to be jealous. Now, he was going to be her partner. Was he trying to get everyone to curse her behind her back?
And Kylie could feel the anger coming from Lily and Khloe without even turning around! The two actresses would tear her to pieces!
What’s worse, Cliff, who had been treated as the most important figure, was now irritated as well.
Jesus, she’ll go to hell for displeasing everyone!
But Julian didn’t follow Kylie’s wishes and chose a challenging scene instead. Because the scene needed to be shot on a horse, he let someone prepare a fake horse as a prop, given the conditions of the shooting area.
When Kylie had put on her makeup and walked out, even Lily, who didn’t get along with her, was stunned.
Was this Kylie Finch? She was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and high-top boots under the riding breeches. Her hair, in big waves, was tied up elegantly. The clothing suited Kylie well, and she looked charmingly brave.
“Kylie Finch, immerse yourself in the role and don’t limit yourself before an actor who is more experienced than you.” Julian didn’t expect that Kylie could perfectly represent the image of Becky he had in mind.
Right at that moment, the door to the men’s makeup room was opened. William walked outside.
