Chapter 4 Leaving the Set!
657 Words
"I don't have time to listen to you, Miss Walker." His low yet soothing voice had weight behind it, but it was said in a slightly mocking manner.
"Also..." He paused and looked behind Chloe. "You have way too many assistants."
Chloe's face paled and she almost stumbled.
Behind her were about 10 assistants and bodyguards protecting her, and an agent accompanying her at her side.
In contrast, Emily went to the set alone with Abby as her only agent.
"But..." Chloe still wanted to continue explaining.
Ronald didn't even have the patience to listen on. He adjusted his tie, and said bluntly, "Let's go."
He was about to leave. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at Emily, until —
"Emily? Are you alright? Why do you look so pale? Do you have a fever?" Abby said and propped Emily up by her side. Abby had always felt that Emily was too scrawny to the point where a gust of wind could easily blow her away.
"No..." Emily quickly shook her head and replied weakly,
but her pasty forehead was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.
The discomfort in her tummy was intensifying by the second, and she felt faint.
Ronald stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head to take in Emily's pained expression.
"I'll take you to the hospital, Emily!" Abby said and motioned to herself driving.
But Emily had fallen backwards like a leaf falling from a tree. Abby gasped when she saw that Mr. Bell was standing behind Emily!
She reached out to pull Emily into her arms, but it was too late.
Emily ended falling right into Ronald's chest. He frowned as he wrapped his arm around her waist and caught her in time.
This familiar scent of mint and his unique masculine odour was enough to make Emily panic!
It was Ronald!
"I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." She apologised and tried to prop herself up, but she couldn't and stumbled backwards once again.
This time, Ronald lifted her entire frame into a princess carry, so that she didn't have to continue to stumble around clumsily.
Everything had happened so quickly. By the time Emily came to her senses, her hands were already wrapped tightly around Ronald's neck.
Everyone on set fell silent for a brief moment.
"Emily..." Abby went speechless as her outstretched arm hovered in mid-air.
"Mr. Bell..." Kian's expression mirrored everyone else's.
Emily's heart started racing and she could feel her face burning with embarrassment. She wanted to ask Ronald to let her down, but she felt like she had a lump in her throat and words wouldn't come out.
Ronald had no intention of letting her down, and continued standing as he was.
After what felt like an eternity, she heard her man's emotionless voice from one ear. "Kian, go fetch the car."
After he finished speaking, he carried Emily and walked away from the film set.
Everyone went wild afterwards.
The producer and director almost couldn't believe their eyes. Abby's eyes were as big as saucers. She was stunned speechless.
Many fans who had been waiting outside had already taken out their smartphones to snap pictures. "Oh my God! Oh my God! This is breaking news!"
"Who was the woman Ronald princess carried? I'm dying to know! Did Ronald Bell actually turn his gaze away from our goddess Chloe and leave with a small time actor? Are my eyes deceiving me right now?!"
"I did a quick Google search and found out she's called... Em-ily?"
What an unfamiliar name!
Chloe, who heard all the rumors, dug her sharp nails into her palms. She was seething with so much rage and resentment, and a name slipped out between the cracks of her teeth. "Em-i-ly!"
How dare she steal the spotlight from her today and even managed to woo such a man like Ronald. She vowed to never forgive this woman!
