Chapter 34 The Unexpected Substitute
Chapter 34 The Unexpected Substitute
"You have to replace your bodyguards when you go back. He made such a big mistake. If the news is spread out, people will laugh at you," Rachel reminded Clark.
With a faint smile, Clark said, "It doesn't matter. If the same thing happens again, I can always hide in your house!"
With an indifferent glance at him, Rachel refused him politely, "My place is too small. I don't have enough rooms."
Clark couldn't help laughing. He nodded to her, turned around and walked away.
The harmonious picture had been taken by the paparazzo hiding in the dark.
An hour later, the warm picture of Rachel walking Clark out of her place was spread widely on the Internet. Even many media reported the relationship between them.
Some people guessed that there was something ambiguous going on between Rachel and Clark. Some said that they might be a couple, while some said that Rachel was Clark's mistress. If not, why would Clark try to package her and make her popular?
When Rachel saw these overwhelming rumors, she was so angry that she trembled.
"They have gone too far! How can you make wild guesses about other people's private affairs?" Rachel stated coldly.
Michelle sitting next to her consoled, "Rachel, don't think too much about it. When you are famous, media tend to make up news about you. You know this well. I bet these people who are jealous of you must have done it secretly. Don't worry, Mr. Clark will handle everything well."
Just then, Rachel's phone rang. It was from Clark.
"I saw the gossip on the Internet. Don't worry. I'll have my people handle it."
Then Clark hung up the phone immediately.
She was so worried and angry just now, but hearing what Clark said, Rachel calmed down gradually.
In the building of the Ji group.
With a straight face, Clark snapped at the other end of the line, "Deal with of those gossip online right now! I want every piece of news related to this are deleted."
After a while, there were two statements online, one was from the studio of Rachel, the other was from the Ji group.
The two statements had the some meaning. They wanted to clarify the relationship between Rachel and Clark. They mentioned they were just normal friends. They also threatened that they would sue the person who spread the rumor by legal means.
After the statement was released, the storm faded away.
Moreover, Clark had hired online rumormongers to turn the direction of the public opinion. So before long, the storm was over.
After he finished, Clark went to the underground parking lot to pick up his car. As soon as he got off, he saw Nancy standing next to his car.
As soon as Nancy saw him coming down, she immediately put on a sad face and said, "Clark, about what happened last night, I'm sorry. I was too stupid. I shouldn't have treated you like that... " NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Clark pushed her away, and Nancy fell to the ground, looking at him in disbelief.
"I'm really sorry about what happened last night, and I didn't mean it. Can you forgive me?" Tears fell down from her face as she spoke.
Although she was crying, Clark didn't even want to take a look at her.
"If apology works, what's the point of the law?" Clark retorted coldly.
Nancy hurriedly crawled over on his knees, grabbed his trouser legs, and begged, "Clark, I know I was wrong. Could you please forgive me for the sake of our past friendship?"
"I treated you well in the past because I mistook you for the girl who saved me," he continued, his eyes sharp.
"But what about you? How did you treat me? You clearly knew it was not you who saved me, it was Rachel, but you did not tell me. And you enjoyed being treated well by me. You are so disgusting!"
Nancy stared at Clark blankly, only to find the disgust and disdain in his eyes.
"Clark, you...... Do you really hate me so much?" Nancy asked, unwilling to give up.
Clark looked at Nancy with a mocking smile and said, "Even if you were naked and stood in front of me, I would still have no interest in a woman like you!"
Tears were welling up in Nancy's eyes once again.
"I warn you, if you dare to get close to me or Rachel again, I will not just simply sue you and give you a punishment!"
After these words, Clark got into his car and drove away.
Rachel had been very busy recently. Bob was preparing a new movie for her, and she was busy studying scripts, striving for higher acting skills than before, so she spent a lot of effort on it.
Since the incident last time, Rachel hadn't seen Clark for a while. Michelle had been picking her up and driving her home every day.
Before long, the movie started to shoot.
Rachel saw in the filming site the leading actor of this movie, Bill Song.
Bill stood in front of her with a half-smile and said, "Miss Rachel, long time no see. I have been looking forward to working with you. I didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon."
Rachel looked at him in surprise.
"It's you. Nice to meet you," Rachel said, stretching out her hands.
"Don't worry. You won't be exhausted if you cooperate with me," Bill said as gave Rachel a smile.
The movie started shooting. The cooperation of Rachel and Bill went on well until they met a kissing scene on that day.
"Stop!" Tristan interrupted Rachel and Bill, who were trying to kiss each other, impatiently.
"Rachel, what are you thinking? Don't you know how many times we have re-shot this scene? Is it interesting to waste our time and energy like this?" Tristan pointed at Rachel and scolded her directly! With a red face, Rachel said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Tristan, I'm not in a good mood today..."
"No more excuse! One more time!" Tristan waved his hand and was about to begin shooting again.
Bill comforted her, "Don't be so nervous. Relax. It's easier to imagine me as your favorite person."
Rachel looked at Bill in depression. She couldn't kiss him just because she didn't like him!
However, Rachel said nothing and was ready to start shooting again.
She looked at Bill with deep love and tears in her eyes, "My dear, when will you come back?"
With an emotional expression, Bill reached out and held her soft waist. In a suppressed tone, he said, "I don't know, after we say goodbye here, when we can meet again. But I know, no matter how far I'm going, my heart will always be with you..."
"I love you..." Suddenly, Rachel stood on tiptoe and was about to kiss Bill.
"Stop!" Suddenly, another male voice sounded in the air.
They hadn't finished making the kissing yet. Why did the director suddenly stop them?
Stunned, Rachel and Bill turned around and found Bob ask them to stop.
Bob then said in a calm voice, "This scene is cancelled and the script has been changed. Now you can have a rest! When the script is prepared and sent to you, we will restart filming!"
Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and she was so happy she did not need to really kiss Bill.
In the dark, Clark watched Rachel relieved with a smile on her face. He couldn't help smiling.
Soon later, his cell phone rang, and there came the voice of Bob, "Mr. Clark, are you happy now? They have not kissed each other!"
"Well," Clark said in a cool voice, "If Rachel needs to kiss someone in your future movie, you have to change the script or find a substitute. You make a choice!"
Bob was a little shocked, but he quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to find a substitute!"
When she got the new revised script again, Rachel was surprised to find that all her scenes of intimacy had been deleted.
Furthermore, Michelle told her that she had a substitute and she didn't need to act in person from now on in terms of kissing or fighting.
"Why is the director suddenly so kind to me?" Rachel asked with a smile. She felt weird.
