Sure enough, what the person said next confirmed her guess."Well, we're not looking for trouble. How about this? You'll return the money we paid for the 20 meals and compensate us with 750 dollars for damages. After all, some of us have already started eating the food you sent us. Who knows if there are any bugs in the remaining lunch boxes?!"After he had finished speaking, several other people stood up and surrounded Serenity, clearly trying to pressure her.Serenity looked around at her surroundings. She was in a semi-public place. The crew had rented a cafe for the shooting. From where she stood, there was a surveillance camera to her left. Since the crew had used the cafe as a filming location, Serenity wondered if the surveillance camera was actually working. There were some fans hanging around further away. Although blocked from entering the filming area, the fans lurked around the filming location. Some were squatting and resting, while some held their phones up, waitin
Serenity did not want these people to ruin Clare's hard work and business. Perhaps her sense of justice had awakened in her again. After all, she had previously studied and worked hard to become a lawyer because she believed justice must be seen to be done.The people around Serenity glanced around. The look on their faces changed a little, and some obvious concern was present in their eyes.As Serenity decided to leave, one of them grabbed Serenity's arm forcefully to stop her from leaving. The force was so strong that Serenity accidentally dropped her phone to the ground.Someone saw the screen on her phone recording the conversation, and the guy’s face turned ugly as he yelled, "Bro! She's recording!" "What?! D*mn! How dare you trick us?!" One of them shouted and cursed in anger. He raised his hand in the heat of the moment and was about to hit Serenity, completely forgetting that he was in a semi-public place with many onlookers. Many fans of the cast members were hanging arou
"What's going on here?" Lucas directed his question to Serenity only. He did not ask anyone else, as if he only trusted Serenity."They found a bug in one of the lunch boxes I delivered earlier and demanded a free meal and additional compensation of 750 dollars. I thought it'd be better to leave this matter to the police, but there was a conflict when they found out I was recording with my phone," Serenity explained."Recording?" Lucas arched an eyebrow. "Do you mind sharing it with me?"When they heard Lucas's request, the surrounding crew’s faces turned uglier. Lucas's face darkened after he finished listening to the recording. He understood the dispute clearly. The crew members had tried to scam Serenity for money, which led to the conflict later.The director, assistant director, and field manager were with Lucas and understood what was happening. Everyone's faces turned grave. It would be embarrassing for the public to learn about this incident!The person in charge could s
Prince Lucas's ex-girlfriends came from all classes. Their fate varied—some had a good ending, but some ended terribly. Even so, countless women still flocked to Lucas, wanting to be his girlfriend.The netizens even discussed Prince Lucas online. His good looks were to die for, and they would willingly follow him even without his status as Prince Lucas of the entertainment industry. Everyone was shocked at the turn of events and gasped in disbelief as they watched Lucas help Serenity with her shoelace. Lucas tied the shoelace and finally withdrew his hand reluctantly as he rose to his feet."T-thanks." Serenity felt a little awkward. She then kept her head down and hastily left the scene.Meanwhile, in the cafe at the shooting location, Aria looked through the glass window from her seat inside. She went wide-eyed at what Lucas had just done, her beautifully manicured nails digging into her palm.'Serenity... Why? Why must they meet again?!' Lucas had even taken the initiative
Serenity hesitated for a second. "No. I happened to meet someone I knew in the crew... He helped settle the matter." "Is he a friend? We must thank him! Shall I get him a gift of appreciation later? Could you help deliver it to him?" Clara asked hurriedly."No need," Serenity said and quickly changed the subject, moving on to enquire about Yanny's cochlear implants."Yanny's medical report will be out in a couple of days. If there's no problem, he'll proceed with the cochlear implant surgery." Clara could not hide the joy on her face. "I've spoken to the hospital, and they said that I could apply for a partial fee waiver to ease my financial situation.""That's great," Serenity said, relieved and happy to know that Yanny would be able to hear soon. She knew that Jackson was the one who had made the arrangement with the hospital. The incident during the lunch delivery soon passed just like an episode.Serenity thought it was over, but she did not expect Clara to ask her about it
But who would do this? Serenity first thought of Lucas. After all, Lucas had the most reason to remove these videos online. Besides, not many had the power and influence to remove these so quickly.In the meantime, in Jackson's office. Jackson sat in front of the computer, watching the video playing on the screen. A hint of hostility flashed in his eyes. Serenity would gasp if she ever saw the video. Jackson was watching the same video Clara had mentioned earlier. However, the video had been removed everywhere online.Jackson quietly watched the video. His face darkened when he saw Lucas crouch to tie Serenity's shoelace. His fingers on the table reflexively tightened up.Jackson had known Lucas for a long time. Jackson had naturally come into contact with Lucas after his return to the Valor family.The Valor and Gomez family had a good relationship. Naturally, he had a good relationship with Lucas too. Conflict of interest aside, having a friend was better than having one more e
"What if she's single? Would she like Lucas then?" Jackson seemed determined to find an answer.'What... How would I know?!' Connor was frantic and had no choice but to answer Jackson seriously. "I think Ms. Lewis... She's quite conservative. She wouldn't casually fall for someone else.""Is that so? But she was dating Zeke before," Jackson reminded coldly.Connor wanted to cry. He felt the struggle as Jackson's trustworthy secretary. "Ms. Lewis' relationship with Zeke Shaw is a thing of the past. Zeke has betrayed Ms. Lewis. Naturally, she no longer has any feelings for him.""Betrayed?" Jackson raised his brow in surprise."Well, yeah. Zeke broke up with Ms. Lewis when she needed help the most. Isn't that betrayal?" Connor explained, "Knowing Ms. Lewis' character, she's the kind who won't forgive those who have betrayed her."Jackson's face darkened at Connor's comment, his mouth set in a grim line. What Zeke had done to Serenity was considered a betrayal. How about the things
"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Serenity asked, feeling that something was off.Jackson simply avoided her question and murmured, "I missed you." Serenity's face flushed red, her heart racing. She was glad for the dark surroundings and hid her red face in the darkness. "What about you? Did you miss me today?" His deep voice resonated through her, his breath brushing the nape of her neck.All her attention shifted to the nape of her neck. She could feel his breath, and his lips were close to her, almost kissing her ear.In a daze, she felt a tickle of pain on her earlobe. She jolted to her senses, her face bright crimson. Jackson was nibbling her ear!"Did you miss me?" His low murmur rang again."Yes..." she almost stammered. "Uh... Let me go. I'll put my bag away," she said unsteadily. She could barely breathe, and the air that hung there between them was too much for her to handle.He did not oblige, still holding her in his embrace. Instead, he probed for her answer
