Laura’s POV 116
“How come, George is not that petty!” Willow answered my doubts for me.
I smiled, “You know George well!”
Her little face turned into a red apple all of a sudden.
That vague speculation in my heart became clearer.
“I’m afraid there’s more to you hating Fryday so much than just the fact that she’s marrying your father?”
Willow looked at me and poked her tongue out, shy and delicate in a very endearing way.
She didn’t say anything, but I knew that she hated Fryday, firstly, because she wanted to be her stepmother, and secondly, because of George.
George had spent a lot of money to make her famous, and there must have been some kind of hidden relationship between her and George, which ended when Fryday got her wings and went looking for a bigger support.
“Ms. Laura,” Willow smiled shyly, “how nothing escapes you.”
I looked at her longingly, both happy and worried for her. I pulled her to sit beside me and whispered to her, “You’re still young, it’s not the right time to think about these things. But the fact that you have tasted love is something to be celebrated.”
“You’re not against it?” Her eyes widened in surprise, “Don’t you think it’s treasonous for me to fall in love early?”
Heh, when was it her turn to say it was treasonous? It would be treasonous if my relationship with Cameron was publicized!
“No.” I stroked her hair, “It’s normal for a sixteen or seventeen year old girl to develop a crush on a guy she likes. I just hope George is someone I can count on for life. But he’s so much older than you and a friend of your dad’s …”
“Shhh!” She said hastily, “That’s why I can’t let my dad know. Ms. Laura, you have to keep this a secret for me, if this gets to my dad’s ears, I’m definitely screwed!”
“Okay, I won’t tell.” I promised her, “But after all, paper can’t wrap fire, and you need to be prepared to deal with it in advance.”
She smiled at me and gave me an ok sign.
The love of young girls is always simple and dreamy, in their world, age, identity, status, social relations … are not a problem, as long as there is love, they can transform into a brave thorn bird, breaking through all the shackles.
But can George return her with the same feelings?
After all, he is a grown man, in the society for many years, and in the entertainment industry that kind of water depth is difficult to predict. Willow in front of him, is simply a blank sheet of paper.
In case he is just playful mentality towards this relationship …
I shake my head. I can’t stop Willow now, but I still have to get to what needs to be said.
“Always remember, don’t go 100% in a relationship, I know you’re wild about it right now, but you have to give yourself a few leeway.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Protect yourself.” I whispered, “A girl has to respect and love herself. Understand?”
“Understood.” She came forward and wrapped her arms around my neck, leaning against me in a petulant manner, “Teacher Laura, you’re so nice … If we could be together every day that would be even better!”
…
I hadn’t been able to carefully recall Willow’s last words to me: she wanted to be with me every day.
I thought it was just a little girl’s off-the-cuff wish, not realizing that it would later get me into a little trouble.
After recuperating for a while I was discharged from the hospital, the fiasco of the car accident a while back had died down, and I didn’t make it to the closing performance of my acting class. But once I returned to the company, I obviously felt that everyone’s attitude towards me was different.
They were all polite to me, and if there was an audition or something like that, I was no longer ranked according to seniority, and my agent would be the first to notify me.
I also have a separate dressing room and changing room, a separate assistant and image consultant, and I’m told that I’ll be given a separate agent.
I was a little flattered by this series of changes.
George teased me in the office for not having seen the world. “You can’t stand this? When you become famous, you’ll be treated much better than this! You’ll have a team of hundreds of people, and everyone will be around you!”
“Don’t, don’t, President George, I never thought I’d be famous one day!” I wiped the cold sweat from my head.
He gave me a blank look, “A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier!”
“I don’t have the life to be a general.” I laughed softly, “I’ll just be a small soldier under you peacefully. If anything happens, I will definitely be the first to go!”
“I’m relieved to have your word!”
George pulled a stack of paper-like things out of a drawer.
“Here,” he handed it to me, “the time has come to be first!”
I froze.
He smiled in a meaningful and ambitious way.
I looked down and in my hand was a stack of scripts for a play with the intriguing title Laura’s Love Song.
“Laura Love Song?” I couldn’t help but smile.
“Yes, the play is by an up and coming writer.” He said, “The original name wasn’t Laura Love Song. I bought the rights from him and asked him to adapt it, purposely naming it Laura Love Song.”
“So …,” he squeezed his eyes at me, “it’s customized for you!”
“Huh?”
“Don’t grow your mouth so big!” He laughed, “There are several TV dramas in the company shooting at the same time lately, all of them are big productions to sprint to the prime time slot of the major TV channels, and you are a newcomer after all, I don’t dare to rashly let you pick the big role.”
“But letting you play a small role in it, I’m not willing to do so, and it’s not much of a workout for you. Thinking about it, I came up with this script.”
“It’s a small cost production web drama, although it’s not broadcast on TV, but you can’t ah network airing volume is also very informative. Therefore, I have settled on you to take on the female lead role in this drama.”
I was in the clouds for a moment, I did not expect things to develop so quickly.
I went from a little known entertainer to the female lead of a drama!
“But I …”
“Don’t tell me you can’t!”
“I can.” I gritted my teeth, “This opportunity is not easy to come by, I will cherish it and perform well!”
“Well, count me in!” George’s eyes narrowed into a bridge, quietly told me, “Don’t worry, I’ve already checked with Cameron … the script he checked several times, all the kissing scenes nude scenes are all deleted, really have to kiss when the cameraman will surely lend a hand to shoot! ”
“What?” I was shocked.
Couldn’t help but feel my face burning.
“This little thing also need to report to him.” I laughed coldly, “Then in the future, for every movie I shoot, does he still have to be there to supervise? President George, aren’t you very capable? How can you be led by the nose by him!”
“I also don’t want to ah …,” George deliberately made a look of hopelessness, “But who let Mr. Luo be so powerful that he added this amount of investment to my company again?”
He stretched out five fingers.
I gave him a contemptuous look, “Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness!”
Although I didn’t like Cameron’s meddling in everything very much, this sweetness of being cared for, this sense of indulgence of being pampered, still took root in the bottom of my heart.
George’s mouth is very tight, the entire The Curry Group group up and down, although all have all kinds of speculations about my background, but no one knows about my relationship with Cameron. It just victimized George, innocently taking a lot of shots for me.
I purposely invited him and Gina over for dinner to apologize.
Gina smiled and teased him, “Laura, there’s really no need for you to be overly apologetic! My brother is suave and loves to rumor with pretty girls! With rumors of you and him in the company, neither of you will suffer!”
“That’s not good!” I look at George and clink glasses with him, “President George, here’s to you. I really appreciate the opportunity you gave me for the show, and I also appreciate … you guarding my relationship with Cameron so tightly.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Friends!” He drank up his drink carelessly, “Not just for blocking shots?”
“Hahaha …”
I knew George wouldn’t mean anything special to me, but once I accidentally found a picture of Willow in his desk drawer.
A one-inch photo, obviously torn from his student ID, with dried glue on the back.
But it was the only photo George kept in his desk drawer. I’m slightly relieved to see this, and I hope Willow will have a good relationship with him.
Laura’s Love Song has officially begun filming, but not even a few days after the news got out, the internet was in an uproar again. The show was boycotted by a large number of Fryday fans, many of whom left messages on The Curry Group’s official website claiming that they would never watch the show and that they would be brushing up the lowest scores on rating sites.
The most frequent message during that time was:
“Laura? What a thing! Isn’t that the little actress who rubbed my family’s Fryday the wrong way? Bullshit!”
“A woman with a bad heart! She framed Fryday, she must have staged the car accident and dumped the blame on Fryday!”
“Uncle police, come out and catch this vixen!”
“Laura why don’t you go to hell?”
…
The comments, many of them, were unbearable. And my mental capacity has been much better than the previous time, although I still get shivers in both hands and chills down my spine when I look through them, but after taking a deep breath, I will have endless courage to face them again.
Cameron didn’t show up at the first moment to comfort me, on the contrary, he seldom disturbed me during that time, but every time I came home from work, I could always smell the aroma of the snacks he made.
He stayed by Sunny’s side, reading her a bedtime story, and sometimes he couldn’t help but sleep on the carpet next to her. The big one and the little one just fall asleep like this, without being covered by the quilt.
Whenever I saw this scene, a soft warmth would well up in my heart.
Once I was studying the script until midnight, unknowingly sleeping on the balcony, suddenly I felt a slight weight on my body, and when I opened my eyes, Cameron was holding a blanket to cover me.
When we looked at each other, there was a sudden surge of electricity in my heart. It felt as if we had traveled through time and space, and the battle of Alcostan, the encounter on Blossom Hill Rd, and the days of growing up together in The Lynch Family, and spending time together, suddenly appeared in front of our eyes. …
His kiss fell unexpectedly.
I didn’t resist, coveting the mesmerizing warmth. I hooked my arms around his neck and responded passionately. He picked me up and returned to the bedroom, my body involuntarily trembled a little when he pressed on top of me again.
He stopped moving, and there was still a passion in his eyes that hadn’t faded.
After a long time, he kisses me lightly on the forehead, “Get some early rest.”
“Cameron …”
I don’t know why I even called out to him.
I was obviously the one who rejected him first.
“I won’t do anything you don’t like anymore.”
My heart dimmed with an indescribable bitterness.
“Don’t take those comments online to heart.” He raised his hand and gently stroked across my face, smiling, “Just do your own thing, I’ll handle the rest. George is right, I should let go of you, but I can’t just leave you alone.”
“Thank you, Cameron,” I whisper.
I hugged him tightly.
We slept together that night, doing nothing, and being reliably by his side made me feel incredibly at ease.
There were far fewer messages on The Curry Group’s website and the storm was dying down, and I knew Cameron must have been behind it.
As Laura’s Love Song entered the final stage of production, many of the media’s publicity releases made no mention of the conflict between Fryday and me, but focused on the script itself. I thought things would end like this, but I never expected that day in front of George’s office, I overheard Fryday arguing inside.
“What do you mean? Huh, now Laura’s your new favorite?”
I giggled in my heart and looked closer, his office door flashed a crack and Fryday was facing the doorway, gorgeous and full of aura in a Prada suit.
“Auntie, can you keep your voice down?” George frowned in displeasure, “This is my office at least!”
“I’ll ask you what that Laura is all about. You’re going to such lengths to protect her!”
“Heh, what do you care who she is?” George sneered, “Mind your own business first! Fryday, you’re not unaware of how much effort I’ve put into you, are you? But how do you repay me?”
“First, the scandal with a few male stars, this even, sometimes it’s also publicity needs … and then make a fuss about marrying Rafael! Heh, as soon as the news of your marriage to Rafael came out, The Curry Group’s stock price dropped 5 percentage points that day!”
“But didn’t I then fail to get married?” Fryday sat down on the couch with his legs crossed, “Thanks to your new love!”
“Laura wasn’t my new love.” George said with a straight face, “You’ve gone off to become a grandma of a wealthy family, aren’t you going to let me hold up the new guy?”
Fryday was infuriated, “George, you’re doing this on purpose, right? What kind of young grandma of a luxury family … was all ruined by that vixen Laura!”
“Heh, if you ask me, you and Rafael are really a pair of blood brothers, looking at women with the same eyes!” She sneered.
“What do you mean by that?”
“That little new love of yours, she’s been leaning on Rafael’s tree for a long time! Why else do you think Rafael suddenly stopped marrying me? It’s all because of Laura!”
George was stunned and sank to his knees, “No way, they’re both my friends, don’t talk nonsense!”
“Friends?” Fryday grunted softly, “You consider Rafael a friend, but do you have his private phone number? Laura does! Rafael’s private number, even I don’t have it, what gives her Laura the right to have it!”
I stood in the doorway, my body seemed to freeze.
I realized that Fryday’s grudge against me was really because of Rafael, because of the note with his private phone number!
And when Cameron saw that I had Rafael’s private number in the first place, he also had this kind of strong reaction.
Rafael … You’re really hurting me!
