Chapter305 Look Out for the Paparazzi
Jonathan's hostility out of no good reason fot Lucia to take a gasp, and that woman happened to
turn round to
her when Lucia was hesitating about what to do next. Despite the dark glasses, one could still grasp
the vague
shape of her eyes. And Lucia just noticed that woman decidedly paused and jerked her head back
irritably at
the sicht of Lucia. That made Lucia even more puzzled. She thus begin observing that woman more
closely.
just to find her quite familiar, As Lucia was trying to figure out the identity of the woman, her sight
was blocked. She looked up and met the
furious face of Jonathan, who was frowning and snapping, "What are you doing here?"
That raises Lucia's hackles too. Wasn't lie the very one who demanded the coffee? And now he just
denied it
when she had taken great troubles to buy it for him. Yet she repressed her anger and permitted
herself a smile,
"Mr. Black, here's the coffee you wanted." She thien lifted the bar in her hand,
Jonathan frowned, obviously having no interest in her business any more, even perfunctorily. At that
instant,
his earphone flashed as a phone call came in. He got it through by touching the earphone and
asked, "What's
it, Suecy?" He then got alert after hearing something from the other end of the phone, only
scrutinizing
around and asking under his breath, "Where's the paparazzo?" Some seconds later, he fixed his eyes
along a direction, as his face darkened. With some consideration, he
suddenly stretched out his hand to grasp Lucia Ly her collar, and tilted his head back, "There's a
paparazzo
here. Let's talk about it tonight." He was obviously saying that to the woman in sunglasses. Yet she
only strode aside with a cold remark, "We
are not to talk about it any more.â Lucia paused as she just felt that woman so familiar, and the truth
eventually dawned on her after some
seconds. It was Adeline Jones! The actress who had been so close to August that their candid
pictures had been
taken by paparazzi. But why was she with Jonathan now? They seemed to have an intimate tie
too...As Lucia
was still pondering on the stream of questions on her mind, she liad been dragged aside at the
collar by
Jonathan.
Lucia was about to strive when Jonathan whispered to her, "Get into the car if you want me to do
the
commercial for your product.â
She hushed at with a gasp. Having been lauled into the car by him, Lucia turned her face round, just
to find a
camera focusing on them from behind a veliicle not far away. Slue figured it out immediately. The
moment she got into the car, Suecy began roaring, "Jonathan, what are you doing? Why did you
bring her
here? Didn't I remind you to look out for the paparazzi? Yout.." Yet her tone suddenly turned softer
as she
realized something, "You are doing this to make a cover for her?"
Jonathan resumed the casual look. Taking the coffee from Lucia, he got himself seated on his place
and began
drinking as cozily as possible.
Lucia was trying hard to figure out Suecy's words. "Her" of course didn't refer to Lucia, but Adeline
Jones,
who'd been talking with Jonathan just now! Gathering that, Lucia couldn't help gawking in
astonishment.
What a piece of news she'd come across! Jonathan had always showed up in the public as a
singleton, because
most of his fans were fancying themselves to be his lady. His studio thus would never allow for any
affair about
him, but that didn't mean he himself didn't have any clandestine relationship with some woman. But
why was
it Adeline? Wasn't she having an ambiguous tie to August? So this was a three-some affair? Or there
was
something else behind it...Lucia just felt her head in a buzz, and thought she had no way to make it
clear.
"Hey!" Jonathan snapped his fingers at Lucia, "What's on your mind?"
Casting a thoughtful look at him, Lucia stopped mind-wandering and laughed, "Nothing." Yet
Jonathan wouldn't believe that. He put on a grim look with a knot in his forehead, "So you've
detected it?" "Detected what?" Lucia pretended to be ignorant, "Detected your intention to fool me
by getting me to buy the coffee?"
Jonathan rolled his eyes with a quite sneer, and stopped eyeing her, only going on drinking the
coffee in his
hand.
Lucia turned back to check the view outside the window, just to find it completely strange. Taking a
gasp, she
turned to Jonathan again, "Mr. Black, as for the Redeur product of us..."
Jonathan cut in curtly,"I'll think about it." He then took out the other side of the earplione and
plugged it into
his ear. "Suecy, remind me when we're along there. I'll take a rest now." He then tried to sit more
comfortably
and closed his eyes. Yet he opened his eyes alter two seconds, raising his chin up at Lucia with a
noncommittal
smile, though he was talking to Suecy, "just let her get off at the next junction.â Lucia paused and
began quivering out of rage. How could such a cruel guy become an idol! She eventually
bellowed out, "Jonathan, don't you think you are being too mean to me? I rushed for the coffee as
s00n as you
said you wanted it. And now I've brought it for you, you just shrink away for the commercial thing.
Are you
fooling me?â
Jonathan opened his eyes again, and just found the pettish Lucia quite amusing. "Don't you think you are
making me too cheap to accept your offer only at the price of a bottle of coffee?â retorted he with a smile. "You!" Lucia
was struck dumb. Her chests heaved violently with rage, yet the car just pulled up. âJust here.â Suecy reminded after
clearing her throat. Lucia knew what Suecy was indicating, and thus got off resolutely with a glare to Jonathan, gritting
her teeth.
The moment she was on the sidewalk, the door of the motor home was closed before the vehicle roared away,
leaving her standing in the dusts. Lucia could only gnash her teeth. That Jonathan guy was playing the old trick on her
once again! No wonder August appointed her to take this tough task, he was simply being difficult
with her! It was in the afternoon when Lucia arrived at the company. Emma asked her cheerfully, "How's the commercial
case going, Lucia?â Lucia sighed. "Can't be worse.â
Emma patted her on the shoulder in a placatory tone, "Don't be upset. We still have some time.â That reminded Lucia it
was going to be Saturday the next day, when August and Jeanne were supposed to carry
out their engagement ceremony. No wonder August just disappeared for the whole day. She couldn't help
feeling wistful at that thought. When Emma got away, Lucia finally took out the invitation from her file box.
The two names on the delicate cover only made her lower. It was time to stop fancying about August after
tomorrow, she reminded herself.
