Chapter: 1631
His enthusiasm confused Leia. �But Mr. Jiminez, I�m not a famous person or star� I�m just an ordinary person. Why do you want me to join this show? Fixed guests have a lot of scenes, so aren�t you afraid of me ruining your reputation?�
�That�s impossible. I�m still counting on you to help me advance to the next level!� Adam patted her shoulder and said brightly, �I�m good at judging people since I�ve been in this industry for so many years. You�ll become a hot topic and definitely be favored by the audience. You�re born to be a star. You�ll definitely shoot to fame after the show is broadcasted!�
�Fine, you have my word,� Leia agreed to it directly. She didn�t care that much about fame, but since she was running a company now, she should at least take the offer to advance her business. She could build a foundation for her career too, and she�d have close contact with Santiago. She couldn�t think of a single disadvantage!
�But��
� Leia frowned, worried. �I just hurt Shirley. Everyone avoids me and sees me as a wicked woman, so I�m not sure if I�ll be able to get along with them.� Leia felt anxious when she recalled how the other guests treated her that morning.
Those people were fickle�if they saw Xavier and Shirley together, they would curry favor with Shirley and regard Leia as their enemy. If she had to shoot for the show under such circumstances, she was afraid that she might end up fighting with them on camera.
�It�s fine. You can fight with them if you can�t get along with them. You can fall out with whichever pretentious person you want. Just be yourself, you don�t have to pretend to like them. I hate pretentious people the most too.� Adam took a fancy to Leia because he found her an unaffected person.
She was unlike the stars who had been in the industry for many years. They were different in front of the camera and in private. As a result, the show became a platform for their hypocrisy. It was meaningless.
After Leia made up her mind, she felt much better. She signed a contract with the crew and agreed to be a fixed guest on the subsequent episodes of the show. It was like killing two birds with one stone for her-she could meet her idol, and use the time to get useful clues from Shirley.
Two days later, Shirley returned to the crew from the hospital, wearing a cast. Xavier had been taking care of her for two days, so he returned at the same time.
Leia was lying in a hammock and enjoying the sunlight on her face. Both her body and mind could relax like this. At first, she was in a great mood, but when she saw Xavier help Shirley walk into the house, her mood worsened.
�Hey, you�re back. Great! We missed you guys so much when you weren�t around��
Lily and the others went to them enthusiastically, asking about Xavier and Shirley�s health.
Leia lay in the hammock with a green foxtail in her mouth. She did not even look up, like a true loner.
�I�m sorry for delaying the shooting. I asked the doctor, and he said I can move around a bit now, so I came back. I hope I�m not a burden to everyone,� Shirley said pretentiously.
She could move around long ago, but she just laid in bed wearing the cast so Xavier would take care of her. Although she enjoyed it very much, she was afraid that she might get sick from lying in bed all day, so she finally decided to leave the hospital.
People would think she was dedicated to her work� It was the perfect plan. Xavier remained quiet. He left Shirley in her assistant and agent�s care before leaving the noisy crowd. He looked around and finally saw Leia in the hammock under a large tree in the backyard. He was happy to see her healthy and happy, but he also felt strangely disappointed that she wasn�t affected by his absence.
He strode to her, forming a tall shadow as he looked down at her condescendingly.
�You caused a lot of trouble, but you don�t look guilty or remorseful at all.�
Leia was enraged by his words, and snapped at him, �Why? Do you want me to cry and kneel at her feet? Should I go throw myself off a hill to make up for it?� JrNovels.com
