The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1585 A Difficult Choice
A few floors from ground level, the elevator doors opened while Ray and Xandria were casually talking with each other. Then, a few young women entered the lift, seemingly without a care in the world. But as soon as they laid eyes on Ray’s handsome face, they couldn’t help but gape at him. When the elevator was almost at ground level, one of the women let go of her hesitation and asked, “Excuse me, I was just wondering, are you the leading man in that upcoming movie?”
For some reason, Ray didn’t want to be exposed. So before Xandria could tell the truth, he quickly made up an excuse. “I’m sorry, but you have the wrong person. Even though I’m as handsome as an actor, I’m just an ordinary family man. I wish I was a celebrity, but my wife doesn’t even let me go out of the house that much.”
When Ray finished speaking, the elevator doors opened. Before the women could ask any more questions, he and Xandria ran away as fast as they could.
They tried their best to not giggle until they reached the Arch of Triumph. When they did, they almost teared up from laughing too much. While they were teasing each other about the weird things that had happened that day, Perrin’s car arrived.
“Hey, I hope you haven’t forgotten that we were supposed to drink tonight if you finished early. Well then, is the party over?” Perrin asked with a smile as he lowered his car window.
Xandria was extremely overjoyed to see him. She flew like a bird as she ran towards him.
When Perrin saw her coming, he opened the car door and lifted his arms to give her a hug.
“Mr. Shen, can you help me with these?” Ray casually asked out loud while waving his hand at Perrin.
When Perrin looked over, he was shocked to see how many gifts Ray was carrying. Perrin had to step back before asking, “Are all of those really for her?”
“Oh, yes! People don’t like me enough to give me this many gifts,” Ray sarcastically replied.
“Wow! Okay, give me a sec. I’ll just open the trunk,” Perrin said with an enthusiastic nod.
While Perrin was busy packing everything in the car, Ray and Xandria couldn’t stop giggling when their eyes met. Both of them had the same idea in mind. ‘What would happened if Perrin found out that another handsome man had just proposed to his girl?’
“All right, I’m almost done packing everything up. I can’t wait to watch today’s show. I heard you guys received such a high rating today. Xandria, let’s watch it together, okay?”
Even if Xandria truly appreciated her gifts from fans, she just stuffed them in the trunk and climbed right into the passenger seat. The only thing on her mind at that moment was to take a rest at home.
When Perrin got inside the car, the first thing he said was, “I can’t believe you have this many fans.”
He wasn’t upset about it; he just hadn’t expected her to become so famous in such a short amount of time. However, Xandria didn’t like what Perrin had said. So when Ray saw her frown, he didn’t hesitate to remind Perrin.
“You should have thought about that before she entered the entertainment industry. Also, you should have expected it since she’s so freaking gorgeous. It’s inevitable that she would receive a lot of gifts from fans. Heck, someone even proposed to her today!”
“What?! T
rted her dream all this time, Xandria had been hesitant to push through with her career because of her fear that Perrin wouldn’t be able to marry her. But when Yanis had come along and given her a chance to play the role of the leading actress, it had given her the confidence she needed to pursue her dream.
With that in mind, it was a bit rude of her to refuse Yanis’ marriage proposal in front of so many people.
But she couldn’t bear the thought of being with him. She knew in her heart that she didn’t love her director, and she wasn’t going to marry him just because he had helped her career blossom. That would be outrageous.
‘What Yanis did might affect my relationship with Perrin. I don’t know if I’m thinking too much about it, but tomorrow’s newspaper will definitely publish that story.
Before that happens, I should probably tell the truth to Perrin.
But if he forbids me from working anymore, can I accept that?’ Xandria worriedly thought.
With a disgruntled expression on her face, Xandria inevitably fell into despair.
When Perrin noticed the change in her mood, he turned the car around and headed for her favorite restaurant. When they arrived, he went inside by himself and came out about ten minutes later.
“Look, I got you your favorite chicken drumsticks and porridge. Eat up!”
After that, he handed the bag of food to Xandria with a smile.
The food was still warm and she couldn’t wait to dig in. Perrin’s small acts of kindness never failed to make Xandria cry a few tears of joy, especially when she was feeling so troubled.
While eating her food, Xandria thought, ‘You’re so silly, Perrin. You really think food can solve any problem. Now that I have something in my stomach, I’m starting to remember the other problems I have to deal with.’
Out of the blue, Xandria curiously asked, “If I happen to offend someone in the entertainment industry and I can’t make any more movies because of it, what do you think I should do for the rest of my life? Should I just get married, have kids, and raise them until I’m old and wrinkly?”
Before Perrin could react, Xandria’s emotions became too overwhelming for her to bear. She was so upset about the thought of not being able to work anymore that she started to have a hard time breathing.
