14She didn't finish the whole story so as to keep Noah in suspense.My parents planned to marry me off to an old bachelor for 70,000 dollars. I only mentioned it to Barrel, but I didn't expect him to tell Shay about it."You think too much. I broke up with your brother because he was seeing some other women while we were together. Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with you." I smiled."Are you angry?" Shay tilted her head to look at me, the very picture of a phony. "I'm just concerned about you. After all, you taught me for a long time when my brother made you my tutor."Noah couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and said, "Shay, can you go now? I'd like to talk to my girlfriend. You're an eyesore to me."Shay stared at him with wide eyes, and her smile froze.Seeing that she did not respond, Noah lost his patience. He took my hand and led me straight down from the stand to a row of chairs at the edge of the court. There were a few reserves sitting there, as well a
16Matt laughed angrily. "How dare you admit it?"He turned to Noah and said mockingly, "Noah, did you hear her? This b*tch is up to no good. Do you still want to marry her?"My face went pale, and my lips had lost their color.For a moment, I hoped I would immediately lose my senses and not hear Noah's answer.But his voice came clear to my ears, serious, gentle, and even a little sad, "I know."Matt wanted to say something, but Noah interrupted him. "Why?" he asked."What do you mean by 'why'?" Matt frowned as if surprised by Noah's reaction."Why would Karen want revenge on you?"Noah turned and seemed to see my pale face, so he reached out to hold my hand.He gently and carefully covered my fingertips with his warm hand."You've never stopped harassing her all this time. After looking into her family situation, you thought she was alone and helpless, so you got worse. You are such a conceited man. How can you allow someone to escape from your clutches?" Noah said with a
I'm the personal retoucher of Chuck Smith, one of the most popular stars. To attract more clients, I put his edited photo and the original side by side on a website. He soon found out about it.When Chuck called me, I was working hard on editing a photo.After learning what I did, this crybaby was so angry that his voice trembled on the phone. "Rebecca, what the hell is this?"With that, he sent me a message.[Retoucher of celebrities, good aesthetic taste, reliable quality, and reasonable price, 2 dollars for each photo.]Next to the advertising slogan was a close-up photo of Chuck taken at an art gallery event three days ago.In this picture, his skin was dull, his eyes were half-closed, his chin was a little crooked for some reason, and some small pimples were on his cheeks.After my careful editing, all the defects on his face disappeared, but the natural skin texture was still preserved.My brain was spinning. Should I deny it or apologize to him? After hesitating for a fe
2The car stopped in front of a five-star hotel nearby."Get out of the car," Chuck said.I clung to the car door. "What are you doing? I'm not getting out!"As soon as I finished speaking, Chuck took a pair of sunglasses from his bag and put them on me.I paused and silently withdrew my hands.Chuck looked like a useless fool, and I didn't expect him to be so sensitive.He used to hide behind me, crying in the game, so I wasn't worried that such a coward would do anything to me.Moreover, given my plain-looking face, I didn't think he would be interested in me.I was afraid that people would look at me in surprise or disgust.After adjusting the sunglasses on my nose bridge, I followed Chuck upstairs. Then, he took me to a luxurious private room and said he was there to attend a meeting to discuss a script.Only then did I find out that he was about to star in a new drama, a part of which would be shot at our school?Like that, I got to know Chuck's director, screenwriter,
4The second week after I accompanied Chuck to the set, I finally understood why the person I met in the hotel the other day said that Chuck's staff was not professional.Chuck terminated the contract with Grateedo Company and set up his studio half a year ago.There were only four people in the studio, including him and me.Chuck's agent, Lisa, and the photographer, Daniel, were his high school classmates.I remembered the strange photos they had sent me and suddenly understood why someone as good-looking as Chuck would look so ugly in them.I stayed at the hotel with Chuck in the evening because he asked me to choose some pictures for him to post on Twitter. However, among more than 50 pictures, I barely picked out three ones that could be used. But I had to make a ton of changes to them before they were released.Chuck looked at me carefully, saying, "Rebecca, I'm sorry to trouble you again.""Well, it's not a big deal. After all, you paid me for that." I tried to make it so
6I hailed a taxi and went to the film set.Chuck had just put on his makeup and was still waiting for his part to start in the lounge. When he saw me, he came over with tears in his eyes. "Did you see my sincerity? Are you still mad?"After a moment of silence, I asked, "Why did you buy me so many cosmetic items?""You...""I'd rather you gave me some money."Chuck's face darkened instantly. He glared at me angrily and complained, "You're not romantic at all. Weren't you touched when you logged on to the game and saw so many cosmetics?""I was touched, but my heart was bleeding," I said. "My heart ached at the thought that the money you paid for those items was enough to buy an iPad, five TF lipsticks, or ten meals from my favorite restaurant. But you gave the money to the game developer.""I won't talk to you anymore!"Chuck was so furious that he turned his back on me.I counted to five in my heart.He turned around and looked at me aggrievedly. "Are you not going to coax
8The movie was officially completed a week later.After shooting the last scene, the director shouted "Cut!" Then all the staff howled cheerfully.Chuck hurriedly ran backstage to change into casual clothes. After saying goodbye to everyone on the set, he got into the minivan parked outside."We won't be attending the celebration party. The Superstar Show will start at eight o'clock. We have to get to the scene before six o'clock to get styled and change clothes."As she spoke, Lisa stepped on the gas.I helped Chuck remove his makeup in the car and ran through the brochure from the organizer to check out the process of the show.As a science student, I was unfamiliar with these things.However, after working as Chuck's assistant for more than two months, I gradually kept up with the pace.When we arrived backstage, the makeup artist and stylist rushed over. After helping Chuck with his makeup, they went to the next dressing room in haste.Lisa went to the organizer to go th
I had a sports student boyfriend who had six-pack abs and was a member of the school swimming team.But last night, he suddenly said he wanted to break up with me.He claimed that it was because I only loved him for his good-looking face, not his soul.I was lying lazily in his arms when he said the amusing reason, which prompted and pushed me to quibble... I meant, to defend myself."Babe, babe, it's not like that..." I tried my very best to change his mind yet failed. But my boyfriend Zaid remained untouched like a stone and said, "Miss Cheslin, don't you think it'll be much more persuasive if you could just keep your hands off me before uttering those excuses?"I silently withdrew my hands and put on a serious look. "Babe! I was thinking about giving you a relaxing massage after your long day of training, which is also a credit for your hard work on bed."Zaid's eyes turned slightly gloomy as he looked at me. "I want to move out.""What? Why is that?""Miss Cheslin, you have
