Chapter 1292
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Angelo extended his hand. âMr. Stuart, youâre busy so itâs hard to see you. Are you here as a guest, or did you come for a visit? Why didnât the crew inform us?â
The shooting had ended because it was night, so they could not tell if Xavier was a guest or merely there for a visit.
âWeâre here to see someone. May I know if Shirley is around? â Leia asked directly.
âShirley?â Angelo became annoyed when Shirleyâs name was mentioned. He said indifferently, âSheâs a princess. Of course, she wonât stay here.â
âWhat do you mean? Donât tell me sheâs not here!â Leia almost broke down. It was a long car ride, and she had soldiered through the muddy road and water path before finally arriving on the set. If they told her that Shirley was not there, sheâd go mad.
âNo, sheâs not staying here now. When the cameras are rolling, sheâll be here.â Angelo smiled bitterly.
âWhere is she now?â Leia hurriedly asked.
âSheâs having a rest in town. Although we have bedrooms here, that princess canât stand to stay in them. After the shooting is over, she goes to the hotel in town to enjoy the air- conditioning there. Isnât there a muddy road on the way here? She spent some money to let the villagers carry her over, so technically, sheâs providing jobs for the villagers too.
âAhem, ahem!â Lily hurriedly grabbed Angeloâs arm to stop him. âMiss Whiteâs body is sensitive. We donât have air- conditioning here, and itâs not very convenient with the water and electricity supply. Itâs very normal for her to stay somewhere with better conditions. After all, sheâs an actress. Itâs one of her jobs to take good care of her body.â
âTsk, she just puts on airs. Donât make it sound so righteous, â Leia directly commented.
âSo, does that mean that we have to go back to town to see her?â
âYes, but itâs too late now, and the road is bad. Itâs dangerous for you to go back there. Why donât you wait until tomorrow? Sheâll be back here when we start shooting.â Lily suggested a compromise.
Leia nodded while looking at the dark sky. âOkay, Iâll let her have another easy night.â
After all, she had time to waste with Shirley. She would not give up until she got a result.
âBut thereâs a problem if you two are here for a visit.â Angelo explained bluntly, âOur bedrooms here are fixed. The only vacant one is Miss Whiteâs room, so you guys may⦠have to share a room. Is that okay?
