Chapter 144 A Familiar Figure
Chapter 144 A Familiar Figure
Although the figure flashed away, still, Rachel accurately captured it. Was that person seemingly Clark?
Wasn't he supposed to be with Anna at this moment?
Rachel rubbed her eyes, but couldn't find the figure anymore.
She thought that she must have made a mistake.
Mike was experienced to deal with this kind of situation
He held up Rachel's hand and put it in his own arm. With a bright smile, he said, "Don't be nervous. Beautiful lady, please follow me."
With her hand in his, Rachel and Mike walked on the red carpet leisurely. A burst of light flashed and the journalists were all excited.
A Chinese female star appeared on the Golden Wave Awards ceremony? Although it was not the first time that this kind of thing happened, the foreign reporters were obviously interested in Rachel.
Besides, both of them were quite eye-catching, so people paid more attention to them.
They stood there and let others take photos of them. After a while, Mike took Rachel to leave and sit down in the appointed seat.
At the same time, the director arrived as well. Seeing Mike and Rachel, he shook hands with them.
"Congratulations on winning the award!"
"Well done! As an actress from China, you are awesome!"
After greetings, they both sat down, waiting for the beginning of the award ceremony.
After a while, she felt a beam of light was projected on her body from the right side.
She turned her head subconsciously and saw a pair of dark eyes.
"Clark? Why is he here?" Rachel almost screamed and felt suffocated for an instant.
Why was he here? However, he only took a look at her, and then quickly looked away. He then whispered to a foreigner next to him.
Rachel guessed that he might come here to talk about business?
The Ji Group had invested a lot of movies and television plays.
When she turned her head to look at the stage, the ceremony had begun.
However, the look from her side made her somewhat uncomfortable, and she was somewhat absent- minded during the whole award ceremony.
It was not until she heard her name that she stood up and walked up the stage like Mike to give a speech.
She looked so young and beautiful, and her skin was so tender. Every single move and smile were so charming.
Mike stared at her with obsession. He had met many Western women, but none of them were as beautiful as Rachel.
Rachel's beauty was extremely gentle and exquisite.
Until Rachel came back to his side, Mike could not help but praise her, "Rachel, you are a perfect woman! If only you are willing to marry me!"
His words made her face even redder.
"I'm flattered. In this fans' eyes, you are a perfect man," Rachel replied wittily.
Mike didn't know how to answer her question.
After the award ceremony, the award winners were gathered by the journalists, sharing their opinions.
Even though Mike was surrounded by a crowd of reporters, he could talk and laugh with confidence.
When a reporter asked, "What kind of woman do you like?" Mike's eyes focused on Rachel's body.
He answered, "If only I could, I really want to go after Miss. Rachel. She is so charming."
People burst into an uproar.
Some even thought that Mike and Rachel were dating because of acting and they hurried to pass the striking news to the headquarter.
Soon after that, rumors about Mike and Rachel were dating were spreading on the Internet. And the leading actress in the movie was totally ignored.
Rachel won the award, so there was no exaggeration that she stole the limelight of the heroine.
After dealing with the reporters and Mike, she finally returned to the hotel.
When she was so tired and almost fell asleep, the door bell rang.
Michelle quickly ran to open the door, only to find that Clark was standing in the doorway.
Astonished as they were, Michelle and Mindy went back to their own rooms quickly.
Rachel sat on the sofa in embarrassment. She was hesitating whether to stay or leave.
She fidgeted in her seat and asked, "Why are you here?"
Clark walked in with a bottle of red wine and two goblets in his hands.
"For celebration," Clark said coolly.
Her hanging heart finally relaxed. Rachel couldn't help joking, "Didn't you say that you want to keep a distance from me? Why do you come to see me again?"
Clark didn't respond.
Rachel had to change the topic again, "'Light of peace' is about to be completed. I'll go to your company to complete the contract termination after that."
Clarke opened the lids of the wine bottle, poured a little wine to each of the two goblets, and handed one of them to her.
"Congratulations for your winning," Clark said as he stared at Rachel's eyes.
Rachel could only take over the goblet in her hand and clinked it with his. Then she took a sip.
"We have been working together for quite a while. It's time to say goodbye," Rachel said as she rotated her goblet. Then she smiled.
She had no idea how attractive she was!
Instead of answering her question, Clark asked in a cold voice, "Is Mike chasing after you?"
Without a second thought, Rachel nodded and said, "Yes, he began to chase after me while we were filming."
Suddenly, Clark drained the wine with one gulp and his voice turned cold, "You two are not meant for each other."
Hearing this, Rachel couldn't help frowning. "Why not? We get along well with each other and it's good to find a foreign boyfriend."
With a serious look, Clark asked, "You like him?" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"It's my business whether I like him or not," said Rachel subconsciously, "Didn't you want to keep a distance from me? I don't get it! Why do you still meddle in my private affairs? We are about to terminate the contract."
Clark remained silent, poured himself another goblet of wine, lifted it and drank it up.
Rachel didn't know what he was up to. With a frown, she asked, "What do you mean by asking my relationship with Mike, Clark?"
"Never mind. Take care of yourself."
Putting down the goblet, Clark turned around and walked away.
Looking at his back, Rachel actually had an impulse to run over and hold him from behind!
But she knew she couldn't do that!
At this point, Anna was suffering from labor pains that she couldn't bear any more.
Smith had rushed here after a long journey. He held her hand tightly and encouraged her, "Come on, Anna. You will make it!"
"Smith," said Anna, who was relieved to see him. "This is our baby. No matter what, I must give birth to it successfully."
Smith hesitated, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"I'm by your side. Come on, baby!" Smith gave her a big smile.
A gentle smile bloomed on her face. If Clark was ice, then Smith must be fire, which warmed her.
At this time, in the car downstairs in the hospital, there were a few people, who were the detectives sent by Clark and specialized in investigating Anna.
These detectives watched the video in which Anna and Smith were holding hands tightly.
They could not help but to say, "What a skittish woman! Mr. Clark just left the country, and her ex- husband came here to find her."
"Needless to say, the child belongs to her ex-husband."
"He is not her ex-husband, but the current husband. They haven't divorced yet."
It was rare that the group of detectives defended Clark. As a successful businessmen, he was betrayed by his fiancee and he had to raise her baby belong to his fiancee's ex-husband.
Which man was willing to do such a stupid thing?
