Chapter 449
Mobius grabbed Esther by the collar, pulling her before him. “What are you up to, Esther?”
“Mobius, if you do this to me again, I’m breaking up with you!”
Mobius chuckled. “I never agreed to be with you. You must be dreaming!”
Esther’s eyes widened. “That’s not fair!” She remembered being drunk and asking Mobius if he would be her boyfriend, and he clearly said yes!
“You can’t seriously think that we’re together, do you? That’s why people in the production have been giving me strange looks lately. Did you start spreading rumors?” Mobius let out a frustrated laugh and then pinched Esther’s face.
Esther pouted with a hint of resentment. “That’s because I like you. I thought you were serious.”
Mobius recalled that night with Esther. Her face flushed from alcohol, she staggered toward him with a bottle in hand, then threw herself into his arms.
“Can you be my boyfriend, Mobius? I like you so much!”
Mobius watched her radiant smile and quirked his l*ps, “Sure.”
The next moment, Esther, who was somewhat conscious, suddenly passed out in his arms.
Thinking of this, Mobius couldn’t help but shake his head. “Alright, let’s not bring that up again. All I remember is you throwing up on me, and I still can’t forget that smell.”
Esther glared at him in embarrassment.
“It’s okay, Esther. Stay with the crew, and I’ll go with Richard.”
Esther scoffed, “This man used to bully you. You forget about that so quickly and even ditch. your friend for him?”
Pearl cleared her throat. “That’s not the case. Richard can take a beating this time.”
Richard’s eyebrows furrowed at her words. “Huh?”
Pearl didn’t know what to say. She pretended she needed to use the restroom and made a quick exit.
Seeing Pearl leave, Esther glared at Richard. “I’m warning you. Don’t you dare bully Pearl, or I won’t let you off the hook!”
Richard looked at Esther, who barely reached his ch*st as if he were dealing with a little kid. ” Don’t worry about it. All you need to do is think about how to handle Mobius.”
Esther was fuming, but there was nothing she could do. After all, Richard was Mobius’s brother.
With this matter temporarily resolved, Pearl brought Richard to the ‘Melody of the West’ set early in the morning, pretending to borrow the set.
Esther noticed Pearl’s high spirits and couldn’t help but see the same determination her
mother had when she went shopping. It seemed like she wanted to make the most out of it.
As Pearl walked in, the director was calmly enjoying his tea. When he noticed her approaching, he gulped nervously and asked, “What brings you here, Miss Pearl? Is there something you’d like to discuss?”
“Yes, there is something. Is it possible for us to borrow your set for a scene? It’s a small segment and will only take a day to film.”
“Well…” The director appeared troubled. “The thing is, we’re not done with the shoot yet so we might not be able to lend it to you.”
Pearl sneered after hearing him out. “I heard that your production has filmed all the scenes except for those involving Jenny, who’s been in the hospital for what feels like an eternity. Why can’t we borrow the set?”
Considering that Pearl was Leonard’s apprentice, the director explained with some hesitation, “The main issue is Miss Jenny… she’s the one who won’t allow it!”
