Chapter 1298
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Adam was put in a dilemma but he gritted his teeth and said, âItâs fine. Well resolve it. Well build a new house now. I think itâll be done when we shoot the next season of Happy Days, so well invite you as a guest then.â
Xavier waved. âAlright, carry on with your work. Iâm too busy to join a variety show.â
âYeah, I overlooked that. You must be very busy, so you canât join such a childish thing. I should have watched my tongue. â Adamâs flattery filled Leia with discomfort. Flattering and bullying in the entertainment circle were indeed quite bold and outrageous. She recalled watching the interesting highlights of the behind-the-scenes of Happy Days. The celebrities also fawned over Adam, and at that time, she felt that he was an upright man and different from the other celebrities.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the entertainment circle was realistic about building connections.
When Leia saw Adam turn to leave, she immediately asked,â Mr. Jiminez, can I ask you a question?â
Adam saw Leia come out of the same room as Xavier, so he assumed that she had a special relationship with him. She might be the new star Xavier decided to support and promote. So, Adam asked enthusiastically, âGo on. Ask me anything. Youâre more outstanding than the celebrities we invited. I thought you were a mysterious guest we invited!â
âI would like to ask you where Shirley is. I need to talk to her. n âShirley?â When Shirleyâs name was brought up, Adamâs expression changed. He had a lot of complaints about the fixed guest that was forced on the show. âI think she may be very busy. She generally comes way too late for shooting since people from the town will carry her here. I think sheâs still sleeping at the moment, but sheâll get here soon. Well be shooting the celebrities picking mushrooms on the mountain today, and we canât shoot that if she doesnât come.
After he said that, he heard his assistantâs joyful voice.â Miss White is here. At last, we can start shooting!â
âMr. Jiminez, Iâm so sorry that Shirley is late again today. She couldnât sleep last night because the bed in the hotel is so hard and it smells bad. Shirleyâs had a hard time.â The sharp voice of Shirleyâs agent came from afar, and she enthusiastically ran over and greeted Adam coquettishly so he wouldnât get angry with them.
Shirley was right behind her, and her assistant held an umbrella over her head while serving her drinks.
Shirley was scowling, clearly impatient.
When the three of them saw Xavier and Leia, who were surrounded by the director and crew members, their faces turned pale.
âXavier⦠Why⦠Why are you guys here?â
Xavier was about to speak but Leia beat him to it as she sneered, Miss White, I heard that youâre having a hard time here, so Xavier and I came to visit you and cheer you on!â
Shirleyâs features stiffened, but she could only put on a fake smile since there were so many people around. Miss Osborne, what are you talking about? Weâre not that close. Iâm flattered that you came here to visit me. I donât deserve such a great honor.â
âYeah, weâre not close but youâre pretty close to Xavier. He wanted to visit you, so I naturally came along.â Leia did not want to fall out with Shirley directly, so she used Xavier as an excuse.
âReally?â Shirley sounded surprised as she looked at Xavier eagerly. âXavier, did⦠did you come for me?â
Xavier was speechless, and just shrugged helplessly.
âYeah, Xavier came to ask you one thing. You talked to the main surgeon of the Fair Plastic Surgery Institution on the phone at 8.20 a.m. on the thirteenth of August, didnât you?â Leia asked directly.
