Chapter 453
If Eric hated Jenny, she might not even become famous. She would’ve ended up like the other struggling unknown actresses, drinking and sleeping with others.
Eric gave Jenny a cold glance and then turned to smile at Pearl. “Let’s ignore her. What can I do for you?”
“Let’s go to the set. I’ll tell you when we get there.”
With that, she left with Eric.
Watching them leave together, Jenny disregarded any sense of decorum and hurried over. She forcefully grabbed Eric’s arm. “Eric, you don’t want me anymore?”
Naturally, Eric didn’t want to miss a chance to spend time with Pearl. He pushed Jenny away firmly, a cold look in his eyes. “I’ll break up with you if you keep making a scene.”
Jenny collapsed onto the floor, clenching her fists and glaring at Pearl with intense hatred.
Pearl followed Eric outside and got into the car, heading to the set.
In the car, Eric stared at Pearl’s face, his emotions a mix of different feelings. “If you didn’t have a boyfriend, I might have done what Jenny did—pursuing you relentlessly.”
It was the first time Eric spoke Capleiner while addressing her. He probably felt it was more fitting to speak it when confessing his love to a Caplein woman.
Pearl shook her head. “You don’t need to do that because I never liked you. You don’t have to try to win me over.”
“Alright then. Maybe we’re not meant to be.” Eric shrugged and dropped the subject.
When they arrived at the set, they drew a lot of attention as a good-looking couple stepping out of a car together. People couldn’t help but speculate when they saw such an attractive pair together.
However, no one said much about it because they were aware of Pearl’s identity and the fact that her boyfriend was Richard.
Esther rushed out of the crowd. When she saw Pearl standing nearby with a handsome guy beside her, she beamed with delight. “Pearl, where did you find such a hottie?”
Eric gently held Esther’s hand, raised it, and k*ssed the back of her hand with a charming smile. “Hello, beautiful lady. I’m Eric Bloom. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Blushing, Esther smiled. “Hi, I’m-”
Suddenly, someone pulled her into an embrace and interrupted her. She looked up to see Mobius, his face looking fierce and gloomy. Startled, she pushed him away. “What are you doing here?”
Stunned, Mobius couldn’t understand why she had pushed him away. Finally, after holding back his anger for a while, he said, “What’s the matter? Did I interrupt your conversation with a handsome foreign guy?”
“No, people generally appreciate beauty. You should respect my choices.”
“People generally appreciate beauty? Esther, you’re not loyal and fickle!” Mobius couldn’t contain his frustration.
“No, I like you, but you
don’t like me. Besides, you’re not my boyfriend. Stop meddling in my affairs!” How could he accuse her of being inconsistent when he had rejected her when she had expressed interest in him?
