Chapter 485
“Don’t talk. Thirdly, you have to be by my side all the time and stay within ten feet of me.”
Pearl immediately went quiet after he said that.
“What? Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you disagree with what I said?” Richard frowned, clearly displeased.
Pearl shook her head and then pointed at her belly. “What if I need to use the restroom?”
Richard replied, “That’s not a problem. I can stand guard outside the door.”
Pearl retorted, “No way. You’d become an internet sensation in no time. ‘Mister Richard Waldorf guards the restroom door.’ Would that be a loss of morality or the end of civilization?
Her comment wasn’t particularly polite, so Pearl decided to stop speaking, fearing that Richard might become angry with her.
Richard asked, “So, what’s the issue with me waiting for my girlfriend outside the restroom?”
Pearl didn’t want to argue about personal preferences, as she didn’t believe Richard would actually wait outside the restroom in such situations.
However, she soon found out that she was mistaken. Even on the set, Richard would insist on accompanying her to the restroom.
Richard saw no problem with this, but many people had different opinions. Among the crew, there were a few girls who harbored dreams of dating Richard, some of whom had never been in relationships before.
One day, two of these girls went to the restroom together and, upon seeing Richard guarding the restroom door, they felt their hearts sink.
“Could he have some kind of fetish?” one of the girls shuddered as she whispered to her
friend.
The other girl was devastated by the possibility and replied with a heavy heart, “Maybe… I can’t believe he’s that kind of person… Do all men become perverts when they’re in relationships?”
Richard had never expected to be associated with the term “pervert” and felt somewhat distressed. He looked at the girls with a cold glare.
The two girls had hoped for his attention, but they hadn’t expected him to give it to them… near the restroom! Feeling anxious, they quickened their pace and changed their course to put some distance between them and the restroom, still holding hands.
While this incident didn’t cause any issues, it did lead to Richard no longer being allowed to wait outside the restroom. Pearl was relieved by this development.
After wrapping up the shoot, the director threw a party and invited all the actors to have lunch at a hotel.
Mobius was invited as a friend, but in reality, he had come because he admired Esther’s acting skills and appreciated Pearl’s generosity. He hoped to get in their good graces.
