Chapter 82 Showing Love in Public
Lola cupped her swollen cheek and glared at the woman in front of her. For a moment, she really wanted to pounce and strangle her.
"Lady Judi, I didn't mean to." The eyes of Pearl glowed with strange red light, which made the frightened Lady Judi take a step back. Dazzled, Judi noticed that red light in Pearl's eyes was gone after a second.
At this time, the leading role Juan Sheng, played by Joseph, came over. Wearing a white long gown, he has cascades of black hair that was decorated with a simple jade hairpin. He asked with a cold face what was going on. Judi quickly pulled Juan's sleeve, complaining pitifully.
Judi complained that Pearl deliberately knocked over the balsam that had taken her a day and night to decoct. And she intended to give this precious gift to Juan.
Juan glanced coldly at Pearl without mercy, grabbed Judi's hands, and walked towards the wing-room. Lola looked at the two of them, as if she had seen the back of Harry the day he carried Yolanda in his arms and went away resolutely. With tears in her eyes, Lola felt heart-broken, painful, frustrated, and a bit despairing.
"Cut!" Called the director, who was very satisfied with this part of episode. Lola, however, seemed unable to extricate herself from the play. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks, and an air of melancholy surrounded her. The photographer quickly gave her a close-up, with the text:
"I still like you so much. You're like snow, beautiful but cold. If I were talented, I would write hundreds of poems dedicated to your beauty."
When Mona saw that Lola had been in a trance for quite a while, she came to remind her. Lola looked back at Mona and was confused. "Lola, switch to the next scene!"
It was only then that Lola realized what was going on. She immediately wiped the tears from her face.
"This is too hard!" Mona looked at the marks of slap on Lola's face, muttered discontentedly, and then called in the dresser to touch up her makeup. The marks were barely covered with a thick layer of powder.
Never mind! She would not rush into anything before she was strong enough. Lola spoke to herself, "Yolanda, one day I will make you taste all the shame you have brought upon me!"
In A Country.
"My Lady, we have found the girl, but she is under special protection. We cannot get close to her." The bodyguard respectfully reported to the noble lady who was reclining on the sofa.
"Oh? There are very few people who know this. Who sends the people to protect her?" The noble lady touched the fur collar of her marten coat and asked in a moderate voice.
The bodyguard paused. "Last time she jumped into the sea, the people who rushed to save her, seemed to be... President Herren's men."
"President Herren?" The lady sat up on the sofa, her face clouded over.
Did Thomas Herren know the secret? Now that Thomas could find out, the elder brother and his wife would soon find out, too. She must speed up, even if she had to tie the girl up, as long as she didn't show up herself.
"Find a suitable opportunity to bring her to A Country. Remember, don't do her any harm." At least the girl was her niece. And as long as she got what she wanted, she would be kind to the girl.
"Yes! My Lady!" The bodyguard bowed and left the old luxurious villa.
At the filming site that the company temporarily set up, the shooting was about to end. Tomorrow Lola would go to M Country for onsite filming. She packed up a few luggage and headed to the airport.
When Lola arrived at the hotel arranged by the filming crew in M Country, she saw a Maybach with an opened trunk right after she walked out of the taxi.
Of course she knew whose car it was.
Ah! These two people had no scruples about showing love in public!
Lola put on sunglasses, lowered her hat and kept her head down as she walked towards the hotel.
"Lola!" Yolanda called her name. What was she up to? Displaying her strength? Or showing love?
Without stopping her footsteps, Lola kept walking towards the hotel. The smile on Yolanda's face turned into rage. Every time they met, Lola would ignore her, this damned woman.
"Harry, why don't you stay for a few days?" Yolanda asked Harry, in a soft coquettish voice.
"No, I am busy recently. Call me when you finish. I'll pick you up." Harry looked away from Yolanda, released her hands that was holding on to him, and walked into the car.
Yolanda looked at the disappearing Maybach, stamping her feet with anger.
But that's alright, the night after tomorrow, they would record a variety show, and she had already asked Nael to contact the host in advance.
M Country seemed to be a few degrees colder than D City. Lola wore only a thin ancient costume during the shooting, and caught a slight cold the next morning.
She took some cold medications and hurried to the filming studio. But her thick nasal voice had somewhat delayed the shooting process. The producer processed her voice a little bit and it sounded more natural.
In the evening, Lola would take part in the variety show. She read her lines in the hotel. No problem. The show would last fifteen minutes. She was not the protagonist, nor did she need to speak much.
At the beginning of the show, Lola came to the stage in a long white wool dress and a camel coat. She was surprised and moved when she saw many of her fans were present.
Though her reputation was rather bad, people were willing to support her. She was really touched!
A total of six people from the filming crew, all the leads and co-star roles, came to the show.
"Ah! Joseph, I love you!"
"Yolanda, we are here!"
Fans, most of which were here for Joseph and Yolanda, crazily waved the luminous signs with the names of their idols on them.
Compared with Joseph and Yolanda, fans of Lola and other supporting roles were a lot fewer.
"Dear audience, welcome to our show. This time we have invited the six main roles in Long-Cherished Wish, the hot movie. Now let's welcome Joseph Li..." When the tall hostess introduced Joseph, the audience burst into shouting and cheering. Joseph greeted the fans with his charming smile.
When Lola's name was mentioned, she held the microphone, a little nervous. This was her first time participating in a variety show. "Hello, everyone. I'm Lola Li. Nice to meet you. Thank you!" Her simple and graceful greetings won screams from fans.
The fans of Yolanda didn't buy it, what's worse, someone shouted "Whore, get out!"
It was a bit awkward, so the host hurried to the next topic. "We are excited to see our actors and actresses. Let's begin to interview them. If you have any questions, feel free to text them to the phone number at the bottom of the screen. We will help you get the answer."
"Yes. Now let me start from our handsome Joseph and gorgeous Yolanda. As the protagonists in Long-Cherished Wish, you have already cooperated with each other several times. Could you tell the fans what is the personal character of your partner?"
