chapter 148 – Calculation
Phoebe Barnes knew he was trying to explain something, but it was really late and she didn’t want to linger much longer and said lightly, “Just say a few words and go, I don’t want to take up your time.”
Then, she turned her eyes to Kelsey Long and said, ” Sister Long, go ahead and wait for me in the car.”
“Well, good.”
With only two people left in the room, Phoebe Barnes looked up at the man with a calm gaze, “What does Mr. Shi have to say?”
Ann Shi’s warm, dark eyes gazed at her quietly, “Did I scare you tonight?”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyes flickered slightly and she smiled softly, “It was quite a shock, but I’m better now.”
If previously said to work with the movie star that is a dream, now in front of her eyes, but how she felt strange, from the first meeting with him, to now become the main male and female to play, but just a few months, although the world of entertainment is unpredictable and unpredictable, but her luck is also too much, right?
Ann Shi felt her sensitivity, her eyes looked deeply at her, her voice inexplicably more serious, “If I say that I was also surprised when I first knew, do you believe me?”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyes stared up at him with some confusion.
Ann Shi smiled lightly and looked at her without turning her eyes for an instant, “When this drama was bought by Huasheng and John Lu personally asked me to play it, I didn’t know that the female actor was you. After I found out later, I was still looking forward to it, after all, I had seen your acting skills before, and I thought you would be looking forward to it as well, because it could be a turning point in your life, but so far, you don’t seem to be looking forward to it much.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes suddenly looked slightly stiff, fearing that he might see something, she hastily hid a light smile, “No, I’m looking forward to it too, to work with you, I guess all female artists are looking forward to it.”
Maybe … is just her overthinking it.
Leaving Mirror Lake and Autumn Moon, sitting in the car, Phoebe Barnes fell into a long, silent meditation, the car window was dark.
After a long time, she suddenly spoke, her voice soft and calm, ” Sister Long, do you and Lu Shao have something to hide from me?”
Kelsey Long, who was driving, was stunned, and while stabilizing the car, glanced towards her extremely quickly and said in a puzzled tone: “No, why do you think so? Before concealing your male one is Ann Shi, also want to give you a surprise, you used to admire him? What’s wrong with this?”
Phoebe Barnes was silent for another moment before she raised her hand and pinched her brow, saying lightly, “It’s okay, I was just asking.
Perhaps … is really just her overthinking and it was all just arranged by John Lu himself.
And at this time inside the mirror lake autumn moon, and did not leave directly in the hotel Ann Shi, went upstairs back to the suite, do not know what came to mind, nestled on the sofa dialed a number out.
“Calling me out of the blue, is the get-together over? Is there any substantial result?”
Hearing the man’s teasing voice, Ann Shi’s originally gentle face suddenly darkened and sank, “John Lu, is it funny that you’re fucking counting me along with you?”
John Lu was not happy and cursed, “Do you have any fucking conscience? I call this helping you, how can it be a calculation?”
Ann Shi spat with extreme disgust, “Don’t pull your hypocritical villain tricks on me, I’ll ask you, do you really think she’s stupid enough to be at your mercy? I’ll see how you explain when I question you later.”
“Explain? Tch, you can’t be serious, can you?” John Lu suddenly gave a playful laugh, “You Ann Shi, apart from making money from filming, it’s really amusing to see how serious you are in this regard.”
Ann Shi’s eyes lowered in temperature, slightly narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: “Do you really think she is so stupid that she can’t see anything? Don’t blame me for not warning you, playing with fire and burning yourself, you will also lose badly.”
There was silence for a few seconds, and then came John Lu’s low lazy laugh, “What she wants, and what I want, there is no conflict, she is only paying a small price in getting, do you have to be so heartbroken? If I get her into bed, are you still going to come over and take my life?”
Quiet suite, the central large chandelier bright dim, the man holding the phone, slightly lowered his eyes, the dark shadows under the eyes covered all the color, only to hear him low snicker, some meaningful said: “estimated at that time … is not I want your life. ”
“…”
…
Arriving at the place and stopping the car, Kelsey Long turned her eyes to look at the woman in the passenger seat with her eyes closed as if she was asleep, and was about to speak when the other party suddenly opened her eyes, her dark eyes were a little deeper than the bottom, and her voice was low, soft and husky, “Are we there yet?”
Kelsey Long was slightly stunned for a moment and nodded, “Well, here we are, you look tired, do you want me to walk you in?”
Phoebe Barnes closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, then unbuckled her seat belt and pushed the door, “No, I can walk by myself, you should hurry back too, be careful on the way.”
“Wait!” Kelsey Long suddenly called out to her, raising an eyebrow as she picked up the bouquet from the back seat and handed it to her, “Your flowers.”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyelids fluttered and she waved her hand without thinking, “Here you go, take it back with you.”
“How can that be?” Kelsey Long immediately shook his shoulders with a fleshy, stuffed the flowers into her arms and teased, “This is a gift from someone’s little brother, there is a card on it, exclusive to your name, I can’t stand such a fleshy thing, you take it back.”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
She couldn’t stand it either, mainly because she was carrying a big bouquet of roses back like this, would Kemp Ross misunderstand?
This thought just started, she was self-deprecatingly suppressed, he did not even look at people will look at their arms flowers?
Thinking this way, she didn’t care, raising her hand to the car window and waving, “Be careful on the road.”
Turning around, following the street light, holding the flowers in his arms, he walked with small steps towards the Bayswater Cloud House.
Feeling the departure of the car behind her, her eyes faded and she fished out her phone and called John Lu’s number in the address book.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
After ringing for more than ten seconds, the other side was connected, and the man’s lazy voice had an extra layer of husky ambiguity, “Calling this young man at this time, do you miss this young man or miss this young man?”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
“What are you doing?”
Why did she feel something was wrong over there?
The man laughed flirtatiously and said clearly, word for word: “Doing, love. Do you think all of them waste time hanging out in ghosts like you do?”
“…”
The veins on Phoebe Barnes’ forehead jumped, then she said coldly, “If you’re not available, I’ll hang up.”
“There’s still time for you, baby. Say, what is it?”
Phoebe Barnes’ mouth hooked up in a soft snicker, “Lu less, talking to me on the phone while doing it, are you not up to it?”
“…”
John Lu clenched his words, “Phoebe Barnes, you want to pick a fight?”
Phoebe Barnes continued to stimulate him as she walked, her tone leisurely and casual, “Have you been doing too much and have a kidney deficiency? Kidney weakness at a young age can be a risk of hair loss. You need to go to the hospital.”
