Chapter 347 Extra Story Pursuit (Part Two)
"Yes, sir!" Ena's agent nodded before quickly taking her away.
"Hey! Victor! I..." Ena struggled as she was led into the car, which left right away.
"That little girl really likes you!" With her hands on her waist, Elliana taunted.
Victor only snorted in reply.
"If you want to get rid of her, I can help you!" A faint smile played on her lips. "If you become the famous playboy with loads of scandals, just like four years ago, she might lose interest in you."
"And you are doing this from the goodness of your heart?" The indifferent expression on Victor's face didn't change.
With an enchanting smile, Elliana started drawing circles on Victor's chest with her slender fingers. "Isn't it enough just to get you?"
Victor raised his eyebrows. "Your room number?"
"3605." Elliana blew him a kiss as she said, "I'll be waiting for you."
Victor stood there for a while, his hands in his pockets. Then, he turned towards his dresser to fix his makeup.
He didn't mind giving Elliana’s idea a try if it meant that Ena would stop sticking to him.
The next day, the news about the intimate relationship between Victor and Elliana spread like wildfire on the internet. Countless reporters tried to sneak into the film set but were unsuccessful. On the other hand, the director and staff were glad to see "My Boyfriend Is Superman" being talked
about. It was free publicity for their movie. Many people guessed that the drama was to create hype about the movie, while others really believed they were together.
The burning questions were answered three days later. When Victor was seen accompanying another woman, everyone realized that he had returned to the old behavior from his playboy days.
Ena didn't have a chance to see Victor at the filming site anymore, because William found her a job to shoot an advertisement.
She was a workaholic, so she didn't have much time to pay attention to the rumors. Otherwise, Ena would have been aggrieved.
While she was busy in her studio, Mary quietly walked up to her. "What a beautiful lady!"
"Mary!" Hearing her voice, Ena turned around and beamed. "Why are you here today?"
"I just dropped by to have a look!" Mary smiled apologetically. "I didn't help you last time when you asked me for the female leading role. I'm sorry, Ena!"
"Mary, it was an unreasonable request. You don’t need to apologize!" Ena pouted and said, "In fact, I know that even if I became the heroine, Victor would still be cold towards me."
"If you're so sure, why don't you let go of him?" Mary tried to say gently. "You both seem very different people, maybe it wouldn't work out."
"Why not? Mary, is it because of my age?" Ena’s face contorted in worry as she asked, "Does he think that I'm too young?"
"Well..." Mary racked her brain for an answer before she nodded. "Probably."
"There has to be something else too, right?" Ena was flushed with embarrassment as she questioned, "Mary, how did Victor fall in love with you?"
"What?" Mary's mouth twitched. "I don't know!"
"Do you two have anything in common?" Holding her arm, Ena pleaded, "Mary, please tell me! Mr. Lan doesn't need to pay me for shooting this advertisement. Consider the money as a gift for Babe from me! Please, Mary!"
"Ena, no." Mary waved her hand. "Something in common you say? Well, would William count? Back then, he was at loggerheads with William and I was the one who mediated between them." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
"That doesn't help!" She let out a deep sigh.
"Ena, are you finished?"
A staff's voice came from afar. She quickly answered, "Yes! I'll be right there!"
"Go ahead!" Mary smiled.
"I'll be back soon. Wait for me, Mary. I haven't finished talking to you yet! Please don't leave!"
Ena turned around and shouted at Mary as she left, causing the ponytail on her head to swing back and forth.
The commercial Ena was working on this time was for women's sneakers. As she appeared on the camera, she was vibrant and lovely.
Mary couldn't help but smile at her. Since she didn't have anything to do, she decided to wait for Ena to finish her work.
"Mrs. Lan, have some tea."
"Okay. Thank you." Mary politely smiled as she accepted the tea from the staff. Out of the blue, a doubt flashed through her mind.
'Was it because of his unbearable past that Victor refused to accept Ena's love. Would that be the reason?
"What are you thinking about?"
Victor's voice broke through her reverie. Mary turned around in astonishment and said, "Hey! Why are you back?"
"I just came back. I heard that you were here, so I came to see you." As he spoke, Victor's gaze flickered in Ena 's direction.
Mary smiled knowingly but didn't say anything. "That's funny because I just arrived here. Have you finished shooting the movie?"
"Yeah, we're finished for the day." Victor beamed. "Tomorrow onwards, I have to stay in the studio. As a superman, I have a lot of flying scenes to shoot. I'm afraid I'll be doing the wire stunts for at least a few weeks."
"Wow! That sounds so cool!" Mary's eyes flashed with excitement. "I want to try it too!"
Victor was amused at her as he raised his eyebrows, before stating, "I don't think you will be able to do it!"
"Why not? Don't be condescending!"
"Because..." Victor giggled as he continued, "The wire wouldn't be able to hold a woman who just gives birth. She may have gained weight!"
"Victor!" Mary widened her eyes at him. "I'm not fat!"
"Yes, you are. Here!" Victor pinched Mary's cheeks, proving his point. He commented, "Look! No wonder you gave birth to a chubby little girl."
"Go away!" Mary swatted his hand away with a gloomy face. "Stop making fun of me!"
"Are you mad?" Victor cackled, "But you are still so cute!
"Eww! You are being sweet now?"
The two of them continued giggling in the corner of the studio, unaware of the two people watching them intently.
Ena had been taking photos when Victor strolled in. When she noticed him laughing and chatting with Mary, she wasn't in the mood to work anymore.
The other person's face darkened at the sight, as he strode towards them.
"Victor!"
The man had spoken through gritted teeth, seething with anger. Victor turned around at the voice and said, "Wow! Mr. Lan is here?"
"Humph!" William shot Victor a threatening glare, before pulling Mary away. He held her face in his hands and wiped the place that Victor had just pinched, muttering, "Don't let anyone touch you, especially Victor!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mary was taken by surprise.
"Why especially me?" Victor, on the other hand, sneered in response.
"Why do you think?" William snapped, "Look at your recent news! You are seen hanging out with a new woman every day! Checking into hotels with young models and stars! Don't you dare ever touch Mary again. It was fortunate that I came in just now..."
Mary's cheeks flushed in embarrassment, she pinched William to make him stop.
"Hiss..."
Looking at the couple conversing through their eyes, Victor stayed quiet.
"Victor, I have to ask you. Why did you suddenly become a playboy again?" Mary questioned, concern lining her words. "You are quite close with those women ... Ahem..."
"Actually, I..." Just as Victor was about to come clean, he caught sight of Ena running towards them. His expression changed as he spoke, "I have always been like this. I just enjoy being surrounded by women. I don't have the desire to settle down with anyone."
The light in Ena’s eyes suddenly dimmed at his words.
"If you are curious as to why I feel this way, ask him," Victor said with a wry smile. He patted William on the shoulder and continued, "I think Mr. Lan must be quite familiar with the feeling, right? I'm leaving! See you guys later!"
He abruptly left, leaving the three of them stunned.
Sweat began to break out on William’s forehead. Mary’s mouth was left ajar before she screamed, "Men are all bastards!"
"No! Mary! Believe me! I'm nothing like him. I... I really don't know..." William explained in a panic.
"Mr. Lan! Mr. Lan!" Ena came to her senses and ran up to William. Pulling his sleeve, she asked, "What feeling was he talking about? Can you tell me? I want to know!"
"That's great. I want to know as well!" Mary looked at William coldly.
"I don't know!" He shifted his anger towards Ena, saying, "I'm your boss! How could you be so impolite? Let go of me! Hurry up and finish the shoot! Otherwise, I will find a more beautiful female co-star for Victor next time!"
Ena let go of William's sleeve at once. She pursed her lips, not saying a word.
"Ena, you should go finish the advertisement," Mary comforted Ena. "I should leave now. Don't worry, I'll find out whether Victor is serious with those women or not. I will help you, okay?"
"Okay!"
"Don't let it affect your mood. Go and work hard! Go ahead!"
"Okay!"
After motivating Ena, Mary walked out of the set without looking back. William rushed behind her, calling out, "Mary? Why are you mad? Are you angry at me? Didn't we agree not to mention it? Please don't be angry..."
Ena stood in the same place, watching them leave. She felt envious of Mary the longer she looked.
She was a strong and independent woman, with an amazing sense of humor.
"Wait! Is Mary Victor's type?" Ena tilted her head, engrossed in her thoughts. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "I have an idea!"
The next morning, Victor reached his studio early. All ready to change into his costume and do the wire stunts.
"Victor!"
Ena was already there, waiting for him excitedly.
Hearing her voice, Victor felt annoyed. He was ready to turn back and tell her off when the sight in front of him left him speechless. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Why are you wearing Mary's clothes? What on earth
are you doing?" Victor was stunned. "Didn't she wear them yesterday?"
