Loving You In Secret

Chapter 255

Maria glanced at one of the actresses who had been trying to butter up to her, Alexis Brown.

Alexis immediately walked over to Vicky, and as though she had tripped on something, she fell toward Vicky and tore off the scarf around Vicky’s neck. “Ah! I’m so sorry… Oh, my!” she apologized before gasping dramatically. “Oh my god, what happened to you. Miss Shaw?! Were you… beaten or something?’

Alexis raised her voice as she looked at Vicky in confusion.

“It’s not surprising that you haven’t answered your phone for the entire morning. You must’ve been in an accident!’ Alexis said righteously. “Miss Shaw is a part of this crew, and we have to call the police!”

Alexis then took out her phone and was about to call the police before Vicky had the time to react. Since Alexis was speaking very loudly, the attention of the rest of the crew was instantly drawn.

“What’s going on? Why is someone shouting?”

“Someone was beaten? Is it a member of the crew?”

“What’s happening? Can someone tell me?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a misunderstanding.”

“Oh. About what?”

“Just look at Vicky Shaw’s neck and you’ll know.”

Before Alexis could make the call, Vicky grabbed onto her hand and said,” I’m fine. You don’t have to call the police.”

Alexis looked at her with disapproval. “No way! You have to call the police if someone hurts you. That’s the only way the person who did this can be punished and prevented from doing the same thing to others!”

She tried to pull her hand away, but Vicky grabbed onto Alexis’s phone and said, “Miss Alexis, I told you that I’m fine. You don’t need to call the police.”

“But you don’t look fine. Oh, I know. You’re scared of retaliation, aren’t you? Don’t worry. We’ll all protect you. This…wont happen ever again!”

Vicky remained silent at her pretentious tone but kept her hand on Alexis’s phone.

Alexis looked around and shot Vicky a confused look. “Miss Shaw, you keep saying that you are fine, so what’s going on with your neck? Were you not beaten?”

Vicky stared at Alexis for a few moments and said, “Have you never had a boyfriend?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Alexis remained confused. “What does this have to do with having a boyfriend?”

Seeing that the time was right, Maria explained, “Alexis, you’re being silly. Miss Shaw wasn’t beaten. This is…her having fun with her boyfriend.”

The others who knew what had happened giggled.

Alexis came to a realization and turned to Vicky sheepishly. “So you weren’t late because you were beaten, but because you were with your boyfriend… I was being silly. I’m so sorry.”

“It would’ve been better if she really was beaten, though,” Maria said sarcastically. “At least that’s an accident and we weren’t waiting on her for hours over nothing. Spending time with your boyfriend and keeping the entire crew waiting, on the other hand… Don’t you think it’s inappropriate?”

Maria scowled as though she was reminded of something. “Vicky, when did you get a boyfriend? I remember that…you were pretty close with

Charlie, right? You two were even on the headlines for some time.”

Maria’s words seemed normal but were filled with evil intentions.

Just then, Mindy walked over and interrupted Maria by tapping on Vicky’s shoulder. ‘Vicky, Director Fallon and Director Lumber want to see you.”

Vicky nodded. “Okay.”

Once Vicky left, the others started gossiping.

“Vicky looks innocent, so who knew she’d be such a player? She spent the whole night having fun with her boyfriend and ended up late for work!”
