Leighton immediately raised his guard, "You're not thinking of doing backdoor deals with her, right? You can't do such a shameless thing even if you're a grownup. I won't help you!"Trevor was offended."No wonder your parents are trying for a second child when they're in their forties. If their dumbass child takes over the family business, it'll get ruined sooner or later."Leighton twitched his eyelids in annoyance, "That's because the country has liberalized the birth policy. What does that have to do with me?""Don't you talk nonsense with me. Do you remember the things I told you?"The matter involved Stella, so Leighton obviously had to get to the bottom of things. And so, he interrogated Trevor, "Why are you asking me to protect Stella? She's not the only actress in your company, right? So why are you giving her special treatment?"Initially, Trevor wanted to reveal Stella's identity directly. Then, however, he had second thoughts.'Leighton is acting very weird today. In
"His sister initially wanted to splash his ex-wife, as in Stella, and Leighton shielded her. So he's probably avenging his ex-wife."Trevor's expression turned serious. After a while, he finally said, "Keep him in check, and don't let him make Facebook posts rashly. Let him join the set only when his injuries are fully recovered. I'll speak to the crew.""Alright."After Trevor finished talking with Estelle, he dialed the company's PR manager."Sorry to bother you this late, Sampson. I'm sure you've seen the trending topics. Figure out a way to keep Stella out of this mess. You work out a plan, and I'll get Leighton on board."The person on the other end said, "Mr. Saun, I can come up with a plan. But honestly, I think you're being a bit too protective of Ms. Jewell. "These trends usually fade in a few days. For an actor, it's not a big deal. It's smarter to steer attention elsewhere rather than erase it completely. "Also, Ms. Jewell doesn't have a standout project yet. If the
"There's no need," Keegan withdrew his gaze. He continued, "Make the arrangements for her to stay at my grandparents' residence.""Yes, sir."The car drove past Keegan's and disappeared into the traffic. On the way there, Keegan received a text from Stella.[My company got a car to drive me there, so you and Mr. Snyder can go straight to the set.]Keegan frowned and thought for a while before he sent a reply.[Alright.]'Since she won't let me driver her, I could take a glance at her, right?' he thought.At nine o'clock, the doorbell at unit 901 rang. Stella was still doing her makeup. When Shea saw Stella wanting to head to the entryway, she quickly stood up and said, "I'll go get it."Shea was momentarily startled when she opened the door, "Kai? Mr. Saun?"Trevor said warmly, "Are you guys ready?""Almost," Shea hurriedly welcomed them in. She was puzzled.'Why'd Mr. Saun come here in person?' she wondered.Just as they got to the living room, Stella came outside. She had
Daryl pressed the answer button and put the phone on the holder in front of them.On the screen, two old folks showed up when the call connected. They sat on a couch, holding signs for a concert, all cheerful.Trevor held the phone and grinned, "Grandpa, grandma, look who's here!"Stella wondered how to address them. She leaned to Trevor and whispered, "Hey, Trevor, what should I call them?""We're about the same age, so just say what I say."With a quick smile, Stella greeted them, "Hi, Grandpa and Grandma. I'm Stella."The couple almost spilled the beans hearing her call them "grandma" and "grandpa."'She looks like Freesia. She really looks so much like her. Her big, bright eyes and that pretty nose; she's practically the spitting image of Freesia,'' they thought.Wilfred's dull eyes instantly brimmed with tears. If his wife had not pinched him on his back, he would have almost lost control of his emotions."Lovely. Lovely. How lovely."Edith also teared up. However, she h
"Go do your thing. Don't let us take you from your work."Stella grunted in agreement and bade them goodbye. Then, she returned the phone to Trevor and said in a low voice, "I'll go get changed first."Trevor nodded and took the phone.After Stella returned to her bedroom, she shut the door and suddenly sat down.'They're so amiable, and how they speak to me is so loving. For some reason, this feeling reminds me of my grandpa,' she thought.When Stella finished changing and came out, Trevor had already hung up the phone. He was sitting on the couch and studying Luna, who was pouring him tea. He lifted his head when he saw Stella come outside.She was dressed casually. She wore a short-sleeved top, long pants, and a UV jacket. She also had her hair up in a high ponytail.Shea immediately stood up and went over to help Stella fix her outfit."Trevor, Kai. When are we leaving?"Kai glanced at the time, "Ten o'clock."'That's still over ten minutes,' she thought.Suddenly, Trevo
Stella was hesitant. Luna was still in the beta stage, so she was worried that Trevor did not fully understand some of the functions.Seeing that Stella did not respond, Trevor asked, "Are you afraid I will dismantle it and make a copy?""Of course not," Stella replied. Luna was expensive because its processor and programming could not easily be cracked and coded. Stella thought about it for a while and continued, "The main thing is that Luna hasn't passed the market test yet. I'm worried that something might go wrong."Trevor smiled indifferently and said, "It's a robot. If anything happens, I can just switch it off."Stella found it hard to refuse after Trevor said that. "...Okay. Remember to return it after a week.""No problem."Meanwhile, Keegan and Vermont were waiting in the underground parking lot. At 10:03 p.m., the elevator doors of level 7 opened."She's coming, Mr. Kane," Aldor hurriedly called out.When Keegan glanced up, he spotted Stella and some folks coming out
Among all the actors and actresses Shea had met, very few of them actually cared about their fans. When she was with the movie crew, she witnessed fans who traveled thousands of miles just to see their favorite actor. Even when the weather was freezing cold, they would stand in line outside with their jackets on. The fans' faces would turn blue and sometimes purple from the cold, but they would be more invested in their idols' actions. They would worry about how the crew treated the celebrities and how long they had until filming ended to take pictures with them.In reality, their favorite actors and actresses were enjoying themselves in a well-insulated room. They would even use the weather as an excuse not to come out and take pictures. From most celebrities' points of view, fans were not human beings and just strings of data. Thus, they did not care about their feelings."Did you know that the longer the fans wait, the higher the popularity and the stronger the ability to retain t
The Winnie-the-Pooh-shaped bouquet made with Blue Enchantresses was much more luxurious than the big flower basket in front of Leighton. When the opening ceremony began, the bouquet earned Bella a lot of attention. However, her spotlight was taken away when the mango-shaped bouquet of roses came into the picture. Moreover, the mango was placed right next to the Winnie the Pooh bouquet.Bella's bouquet was 3ft at best, while Stella's mango bouquet was at least 6ft tall. The comparison was like a child standing next to an NBA player, which forcibly suppressed Bella's reputation.The media reporters were taking pictures of the mango-shaped bouquet as they interviewed Stella. "Ms. Jewell, how are you feeling right now? I mean, this is your first-time participating in the opening ceremony of a huge movie, right? Do you have any advice?"'Ms. Jewell...' Stella inexplicably thought of when Keegan called her Ms. Jewell. Though, what he asked was not a serious question a teacher could answer
