Chapter 1230: Anxious When She’s Not Around... (2)
Emily Stewart looked at Aurelia Shaw, and her expression momentarily turned a bit absent-minded, her thoughts wandering, "Where to?"
"Hospital," Aurelia said. Since she was already here, there was no need to continue being pretentious, "If it’s not on your way, you can drop me off at the roadside nearby, and I’ll take a taxi there."
"I don’t have anything scheduled for the afternoon, it’s no trouble to take you there," Emily said with a smile.
Aurelia was momentarily stunned, her slightly narrowed eyes scrutinizing Emily. Only after seeing that her face had no signs of cunning did she relax.
Artists within the industry are not easy to deal with; she wasn’t sure whether Emily said that intentionally for her to hear or mentioned it unintentionally. If it was intentional, her acting was truly good; if unintentional, telling a colleague that she had no schedule was either naive or showed too much trust in her.
Trust is quite unlikely, as she had mentioned before, if you can make a stand in the entertainment industry, none are too naive, all understand that trust is the most unreliable thing in this industry.
"Buzz buzz!"
Aurelia’s phone rang; it was Viscount Zhou calling.
Huh? Didn’t we just meet? Why is this guy calling again?
"What’s up?" Aurelia’s tone was lazy, and everyone in the car couldn’t help but glance at her; Aurelia seemed to notice but didn’t mind.
Viscount Zhou shouted on the other end, "Whose car is that? I just drove out to take you, only to see you get into a nanny car. Is it that Kong...someone again? How dare he steal my credit."
Aurelia was startled, looked back, and sure enough, she saw a flashy blue and white sports car following them. She rubbed her forehead, "It’s Emily’s, a senior of mine, she happened to pass by and gave me a ride."
"A woman?" Viscount Zhou asked.
"Yeah," Aurelia said flatly, mistakenly thinking Viscount Zhou was interested in women, and lowered her voice, "Don’t you just want to make a move on any woman you see." She could tell Emily and Viscount Zhou were not on the same page.
Otherwise, with Emily’s looks and temperament, she wouldn’t still be lukewarm now.
After hearing this, Viscount Zhou got angry, feeling both wronged and explaining hastily, "Aurelia Shaw, what do you mean by that! Do you really think I’m some walking small Teddy bear? Heck no! I’m not small! I’ve been abstaining from women for a long time, you’ve misunderstood me. I’ve been so busy at the company these days, I didn’t even have time to sleep, let alone handle women. Even when the guys asked me out for drinks, I refused."
Has the playboy turned over a new leaf? "That’s good, saves you from dying of exhaustion in your old age."
Viscount Zhou fell silent on the other end, and Aurelia thought she had hit him hard and was about to offer some comfort, but then Viscount Zhou spoke quietly, "Was I exhausted to death in my past life? Was I already impotent in my old age?"
To be honest, Viscount Zhou believed in himself, in his youth he didn’t understand his own feelings and did many foolish things, but once he realized, he definitely wouldn’t touch other women.
But he was worried about the bad impression his past self left on Aurelia Shaw, what if he was still a playboy? Unsuccessful? With a woman in his arms every day... Just thinking about it made Viscount Zhou feel terrified, wishing he could be the person reborn, setting himself straight from a young age, with only one person in his heart!
"If you dare to be like that again, I’d slap you to death."
It wasn’t convenient to talk on the phone while in someone else’s car, so Aurelia hung up the call.
Emily Stewart’s phone also rang, her face slightly changed, seeming to hesitate whether to answer it or not.
