Chapter 17 Do You Know Mr. Wharton?
Taylor thought Ethan was looking at her. She held her assistant’s hand excitedly.
“Flora, was Mr. Wharton looking at me just now?”
“Of course, Taylor. You are the most beautiful person on the set. He is looking at you.”
A smile flashed across Taylor’s face.
Kristen got the bubble tea and desserts that were distributed by the staff. It happened to be the bubble tea brand that she had wanted earlier. She smiled and took a sip of the drink.
The cold sweet taste immediately made her much happier. Ethan was becoming more and more considerate.
She was just about to send a message to Ethan saying that the bubble tea tasted good when she saw him sit beside Taylor.
She suddenly froze.
There was some distance between them, and Taylor acted unnaturally while talking to Ethan.
Kristen huffed as she placed the bubble tea on the table. “Playboy.” She thought to herself.
Didn’t he know that Taylor liked him? Why did he have to sit next to her?
“Kristen, shall we say hello to Mr. Wharton?” Anna said cautiously.
“No.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Iszard walked over.
He had a big smirk on his handsome face, “Kristen, let’s play games!”
Kristen wanted to say no, but when she saw Ethan and Taylor together, she became angry, “Sure.”
Iszard sat down on a chair next to her and opened the mobile game.
Kristen chose a Jungle and started a killing spree quickly. In five minutes, she cleared all three roads. Under her guidance, she and her teammates destroyed the inhibitor of their enemy and she got three Penta Kill.
Iszard, who won the game effortlessly, swallowed, “Kristen, you… are so irritable in the game!”
“Come on, one more game.”
……
Ethan’s gaze fell on Kristen.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a cold and dangerous aura from head to toe.
He ignored their last night and came to check on this woman, but she pretended that she didn’t know him and even had fun with another man…
Good job, Kristen!Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Taylor looked at Ethan’s face with adoration.
She asked gently, “Mr. Wharton, there aren’t many scenes left. Why don’t we have dinner together later?”
Hearing Taylor’s voice, Ethan came back to his senses.
He said indifferently, “I don’t have time.”
Taylor’s expression froze, but she still smiled and her heart was filled with unwillingness.
Ethan called Mr. Scott and the two of them said something.
After a while, the staff asked the director to get ready to shoot.
Kristen and Iszard had not finished their game yet. They looked unhappy. Didn’t they say that they could rest for half an hour? It had only been ten minutes.
The two could only hand their phones to their assistant and got ready to shoot.
This was a horse-riding scene. The first male lead fought with the second male lead. When the second male lead found that he couldn’t beat the other party, he rode away on his horse. The staff led the horses that they had tried to ride in the morning to the scene.
In a forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City, a black-clothed man and a green-clothed man were fighting with swords, and they were both imposing.
The man in green was no match for the man in black. Soon, he was at a disadvantage, and the sword in his hand was flicked away by the man in black.
“Stop, Thomas Banks.”
“Impossible.”
Kristen, who played the role named Thomas Banks, took out a pack of powder from her waist bag and sprinkled it out. Then he turned around and mounted his horse to escape handsomely.
Seeing Kristen get on her horse, a sharp light flashed through Taylor’s eyes.
Her eyes were full of conspiracies and schemes.
As soon as Kristen got on the horse, she felt that something was wrong. The horse had just taken two steps forward when it began to scream.
The horse lifted both its legs and she was thrown into the air.
Kristen’s pupils contracted and her face changed.
Oh, crap!
How painful would it be if she fell?
However, Kristen did not feel any pain. She was caught in a warm embrace.
Kristen hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her eyes to meet his familiar eyes.
Only then did her racing heart calm down.
“Kristen, are you all right?”
The crew all gathered around, asking her worriedly.
When Kristen came to her senses, she hurriedly broke free from Ethan’s embrace and took two steps to the side.
She shook her head, “I’m fine.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wharton.” She turned to Ethan.
Everyone was terrified. Before they could react, Ethan had already rushed out to catch Kristen. What a close call.
The ground was covered with stones. If Kristen fell and her face touched the ground, she couldn’t become popular later.
Ethan’s expression was gloomy. He watched as the out-of-control horse was pulled back by the staff.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a hint of danger in his voice, “Why did the horse lose control?”
Kristen also had some doubts. It seemed to be a conspiracy against her.
Mr. Scott hurriedly said, “Mr. Wharton, everything was fine when the staff rode this horse in the morning. I’ll send someone to investigate this matter right now.”
The man said in a clear voice, “I don’t want such a thing to happen again in the future.”
“Alright, Mr. Wharton, we’ll make sure to carefully inspect the props in the future. Such a dangerous thing will never happen.”
Everyone thought that Ethan was angry because this accident could delay the filming progress. They did not think that Kristen was the reason at all.
“Let’s stop here for today. You, come with me.” Ethan looked at Kristen before turning to leave.
Kristen didn’t expect him to ask her to go with him on such an occasion. Didn’t they agree to keep a distance from each other?
Mr. Scott patted her on the shoulder, “Kristen, do you know Mr. Wharton?”
Kristen came back to her senses and shook her head quickly.
“I don’t know him.”
“Go with him! I don’t know what Mr. Wharton wants from you. He just saved you. Remember to have a good attitude. Don’t worry about what’s happening here. I’ll investigate it, and I’ll give you an explanation tomorrow.”
“Well… OK, Mr. Scott.”
Mr. Scott’s face was full of worry. Kristen had such a temper that she didn’t even care about Taylor. What if she offended Mr. Wharton?
Under everyone’s burning gaze, Kristen left.
She had just taken two steps when she turned to look at Taylor.
Taylor looked unhappy. Ethan had been sitting next to her just now and she hadn’t had time to react before he had rushed out.
Ethan had always been insensitive. Why would he save Kristen?
He seemed to be very nervous about her.
Now, he called Kristen away?
Could there be a relationship between the two of them? Taylor immediately rejected this thought. No, that’s impossible!
If Kristen was on good terms with Ethan, she wouldn’t have been bullied by her for so long!
Taylor clenched her fists.
Kristen, you’d better not have designs on Ethan, or I’ll make you suffer more!
Kristen found Ethan in the parking lot outside. He was in the back row of the car.
After getting in the car, she glanced at him and said grumpily, “Why did you call me here in public? They must have misunderstood our relationship.”
“You belong to me, so there’s no misunderstanding. Kristen, don’t try to stay away from me.”
The corners of Kristen’s mouth twitched, “But if others find out that you are my backer, how can I rely on my strength to become famous?”
