After watching for a while, Lina could not help crying out, “Wow, are they filming a breakup scene? Gosh, they’re gonna break up in the sequel!”
“Gosh, I’ll probably ery if I watch this episode on TV.”
“Wow, they have a crying scene. I really want to get closer to watch it!”
Lina rambled on. Then she dragged Grace along until she was stopped by the film crew’s security guards.
A few fans were also trying to get closer to the film set, so the security guards pushed a little harder.
“Watch out!” Grace hurried to protect Lina, worried about her pregnant best friend getting hurt. However, she was accidentally pushed to the side and was about to fall. Someone helped Grace in time, and then someone came forward to protect Lina, separating those fans and security guards from Lina.
Suddenly, Lina and Grace were the ones being protected.
“Young Madam, are you okay?” The bodyguard’s voice rang in Grace’s ear.
She looked at the person in front of her, who was the Reed family’s bodyguard. It was unsurprising that she had bodyguards secretly protecting her. After all the danger she had been in, Jay had gotten people to secretly protect her.
She looked at the faces of those who were now guarding her best friend. They were unfamiliar.
“They’re…”
“They’re the Stephenson family’s bodyguards. Mr. Stephenson ist having them secretly protect Miss Sweeney to keep her safe,” the bodyguard next to Grace replied.
“How do you know that? Do you know each other?” Grace asked curiously.
“We… We’ve been bumping into each other a lot recently because of our work. We occasionally talk to each other, so I kinda know what’s going on,” the bodyguard replied.
Grace met Lina once or twice a week, so their bodyguards often ran into each other and would sometimes have a chat.
Lina looked at the bodyguards in front of her in shock after hearing that. “Hadwin… sent you?“
“Mr. Stephenson’s worried about the danger you might encounter, so he asked us to secretly protect you, Miss Sweeney,” they said.
Their strange behavior also attracted the attention of the people around them. A voice suddenly rang out. “Hey, isn’t this the woman who had an affair with the president of Stephenson Group and then went viral because she got pregnant?”
After all, when Anthony Sherman’s malicious post went viral, the photos and videos that the press had taken of Lina before this were also posted online. Although Hadwin Stephenson. deleted them afterward, many people had seen them.
It was no surprise that a few people could recognize Lina.
However, many people were looking in their direction and began to talk after hearing the statement.
When Hadwin Stephenson received his subordinate’s call, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Then, he said, “Okay, got it. I’ll come over right now.” As soon as he finished speaking, Hadwin Stephenson turned to the people he was having a video conference with and said, “Continue with the meeting. I’ll have my secretary take notes.”
With that said, Hadwin Stephenson left in a hurry, leaving puzzled looks on the faces of the people holding the video conference on the big screen on the wall. They had no idea what had happened that made their president leave in such a hurry.
However, the secretary knew what was going on. After all, no one besides Lina could do this.
When Hadwin Stephenson’s car arrived at the cafe’s entrance near the mall, he also saw Jason, who was hurrying over as well.
Hadwin Stephenson immediately had a bad feeling, while Jason only raised his eyebrows slightly.
“What a coincidence. We meet again,” Jason said as he walked forward.
“Yes, we meet again,” said Hadwin Stephenson, feeling slightly embarrassed.
“I heard that they’re here to meet celebrities today. Which idol or celebrity has your woman been fangirling over these days?”
said Jason.
Hadwin Stephenson was immediately speechless. ‘Which? She’s been fangirling several, even dozens of them. I have no idea which celebrity is Lina trying to meet today. The bodyguard didn’t make it clear on the phone either.‘
Jason probably figured it out, so he said, “Let’s go in and check on them first. But speaking of which, even if Lina loves you, you have to try hard to keep her eyes on you so that she’ll fangirl over celebrities less.”
‘And bring Grace along with her less! This unspoken sentence was Jason’s main concern.
Hadwin Stephenson rubbed his temples.“What about you? How did you get Grace to keep her eyes on you?”
Jason smiled. “Just make yourself more attractive to her than the other men she wants to see. Women can charm men. Can’t men do the same?”
Hadwin Stephenson glanced at Jason. ‘Did this guy…”
“You have good looks. Do you think you’re no match for those idols and celebrities?” Jason patted Hadwin Stephenson’s shoulder and entered the cafe.
Hadwin Stephenson glared at Jason’s back and followed him inside.
The two women were sitting in the cafe, chatting with the film crew’s major production team over coffee. They looked like they were having the time of their lives.
The film crew had rented the cafe because they were filming there today.
Due to the commotion outside earlier, the film crew recognized Lina. Besides, she was pregnant, so they hurriedly invited her in.
After all, in the news earlier, it was reported that the president of Stephenson Group had said that the baby in Lina’s belly would be Stephenson Group’s future heir.
The film crew would be in trouble if anything happened to the baby!
However, they did not expect another tall and handsome man to come over with Hadwin Stephenson.
When some of the bodyguards saw Jason, they immediately shouted, “Young master Reed.”
Young master Reed… Not many people in Emerald City would be addressed as that!
When the film crew looked at Jason’s aristocratic appearance, someone instantly thought of a man.
“Could this… be Jason?”
After hearing Grace shout ‘Jay‘, the crowd could confirm their guesses.
‘It was indeed… Jason!‘
Jason approached Grace. “Were you hurt? If you wanted an autograph, you could’ve just asked me.”
“I’m not hurt. Someone just bumped into me,” said Grace before smiling. “I just found out today that the TV drama I’m following is being filmed here. I just got an autograph and took a photo.”
“Oh? Have you been binge–watching TV dramas lately? What is it called? What is it about?” Jason seemed to ask nonchalantly.
Grace immediately froze. ‘Gosh, I accidentally spilled the beans. The title’s fine, but what about its content?‘
Grace was silent for a while, hesitating what to say when Hadwin Stephenson said quietly, “The drama is called Old Friends. It’s a love story between two men.”
The expression on Jason’s face froze slightly. Even though he had always been calm, he could not help feeling surprised. His peach blossom eyes stared at Grace. “Do you like such shows?”
“The plot is actually… not bad. Well… I only watch it occasionally,” Grace said meekly. For some reason, she felt a little guilty under his gaze.
‘Gosh, what am I feeling guilty about? It’s not like I’m watching those shows with prejudice!‘
“This show is innocent. Hadwin, didn’t you watch the show with me? Tell Jason, lest he misunderstands,” said Lina.
