Chapter 21 She Accidentally Fell into His Arms Again
Angelina stood aside, breathing deeply to refresh herself.
She wasn't that into the character just now.
But Keith had the air of a noble man which was so similar to the imagined powerful male protagonist that she was brought into the character with her emotions being influenced.
Frank showed a rare smile and praised, "Miss Jefferson, you winged it very well. I think you can be the heroine and the contract will be sent to your agent later. If you are willing to be the heroine, the contract will be concluded today."
The contract would be concluded today?
Angelina wondered if that was because her acting skills were okay in Frank's eyes or that was because of Keith's influence on her improvisation.
Angelina replied softly with a smile, "Thank you, Director Gates and our screenwriter. Thanks for your recognization."
Frank was an experienced director with a high status in the industry, which indicated that he was a man with a pair of penetrating eyes. It was easy for him to know whom Keith was here for.
He let Angelina be the heroine in order to make Keith content.
He said very naturally, "Miss Jefferson, you just now performed much better than the first time. I'm not the one to be thanked."
Angelina nodded with a smile and then looked at Keith who was standing aside, saying, "Mr. Fuller, thank you for helping me complete the audition."
Her voice was sweet and provocative. It seemed that she was still in the character.
Keith showed a shallow smile and said in a deep voice, "Nothing. Miss Jefferson, given our relationship, you don't need to say thanks to me."
Upon hearing his words, Angelina subconsciously glanced at the other people present.
Frank was talking about the audition with the assistant director, and the screenwriter was reading the contract.
No one seemed to notice what was going on between her and Keith.
Only then did she retort softly, "We have no relationship!"
Keith looked down at her with a short laugh, saying, "Miss Jefferson, you forgot it so soon?"
Angelina was a little puzzled, asking, "What?"
Keith leaned over slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Jefferson, you said you will marry me."
He deliberately leaned very close to her to say in a low voice that she would marry him...
Angelina glared at him, but it didn't have any deterrent effect in his eyes. On the contrary, she looked a little flirtatious to him.
Keith was attracted by her, and a strange feeling began to appear in his heart.
Since there were others around, Keith didn't continue to whisper to her.
He raised his hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and then said in a low voice to Frank, "Director Gates, I'm going to take off. Let's meet again some other day."
Frank said okay, and then took advantage of the opportunity to say to Angelina, "Miss Jefferson, could you help me lead the way for Mr. Fuller?"
Angelina thought she had to listen to Frank, the director of her next movie, so she said okay.
After all, Frank directly let her play the leading role after watching her audition.
After Angelina left, the producer was still a little hesitant and asked, "Director Gates, are you sure you don't need further consideration? As far as I know, Miss Jefferson doesn't seem to have a good reputation on the Internet."
Hearing that, Frank snorted coldly with a look of disapproval, "Did she kill anyone? Did she break the law? Did she do something unforgivable? The Internet is a double-edged sword, and public opinion can be easily manipulated. No one can tell the truth from the false on the Internet."
The producer showed an embarrassed smile and didn't know how to respond.
Janet rushed to the place where Angelina was auditioning after finishing an urgent meeting in the company.
She was really proud of Angelina!
There were two passages in the place where Angelina auditioned. The actors who came for the audition were asked to enter the hall through the main entrance and then wait in the lounge.
In order not to affect the actors, the staff should enter from another passage.
Keith looked down at Angelina and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Jefferson, you seem reluctant to lead the way for me? I wanted to tell you about our engagement. But since you don't want to hear..."
Angelina immediately replied cheerfully, "How could it be! Why did you think I didn't want to listen to you? Mr. Fuller, it's just that you are so handsome that I didn't know how to talk to you."
Keith raised his brows lightly and looked at her leisurely, asking, "Really?"
Angelina replied with a big smile on her delicate face, "Of course."
Keith's heart fluttered slightly, and he was a little distracted by her bright smile.
When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Tomorrow I will visit your grandfather. You will have the answer to something that you have never believed in."
Angelina paused and looked up at him, "Our families are going to meet tomorrow?"
Keith nodded slightly, "Yes, the elders also will meet."
When saying "the elders", Keith paused on purpose.
But Angelina suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She thought since all the elders would meet, it must be discussing the cancellation of the engagement.
Keith slowly reminded in a deep voice, "Miss Jefferson, I hope you still remember our bet."
Angelina remembered the words "Ishmael" said in the hospital.
If he was Ishmael, he would agree to cancel the engagement as she expected.
If he was not Ishmael, she should promise to marry him.
Angelina blinked, trying to conceal her enormous panic.
Did she mistake him for someone else?
No!
How could it be possible for her to mistake him for someone else?
She thought he must have been refusing to admit his identity because he had to take into account the reputation of the Fuller family and himself.
Keith lowered his head to look at her and called softly, "Miss Jefferson?"
Angelina regained her mind and said, "I will not forget the bet. I hope you will remember to fulfill your promise if I win."
As soon as she finished her words, a white light suddenly flashed at the exit facing them.
The paparazzi hiding in the bush exclaimed in surprise, "Sh*t! I forgot to turn off the flash!"
The white light was too dazzling. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Angelina instinctively reached out to cover her own eyes.
Keith pulled her behind him with a sharp gaze, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go investigate."
Niles quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Fuller. It should be some paparazzi. I'll take someone to take a look."
Keith glanced at Angelina behind him and said in a deep voice, "Do you need to go to the lounge?"
Angelina was still a bit confused and didn't understand what he meant, murmuring, "Hmm?"
Keith held Angelina by the wrist and naturally led her back into the lounge, comforting, "Don't worry. I'll handle it."
Angelina suddenly had some subtle feelings in her heart.
What a pity!
She thought she would be in love with Keith if he was single and not a love rat.
After all, he had both a good figure and a pretty face, which made her feel a full sense of security.
The paparazzi squatting in the bush still didn't know what was waiting for them.
They had been keeping an emergent backup of what they had photographed after being found.
Angelina became a hit for wearing a cheongsam not long ago. If it was revealed that she hugged a mysterious man and seemed to fall in love, it would be another hit!
The paparazzi thought that it would become exclusive and hot news and they would definitely get some bonus this month!
When the paparazzi were still feeling smug, Niles had asked someone to surround them.
Niles politely asked with a smile, "Do you want to hand it over right here or in the police station?"
The paparazzi squatting in the bush were panicked but still tried to resist, saying, "We won't hand it over. We take it with our efforts!"
Niles kept smiling, "It's okay not to hand it over, but I'm wondering if you have the courage to make it public."
The paparazzi snorted, "She's not a top celebrity. How come we don't dare to make it public?"
Niles said to the paparazzi while searching for some information, "Really? Do you know the man next to Miss Jefferson?"
The paparazzi spoke bluntly, "We don't know. So what?"
Niles searched for the introduction of the legal department of the Fuller Group with his mobile phone and then showed it to them.
He reminded, "As long as you dare to make it public, the court summons of the Fuller Group will be handed over to you in the next second."
He continued, "Can you bear the consequences of being put in jail or paying a huge indemnity?"
With a plop, the paparazzi fell onto the ground.
"Mr. Fuller, I've already dealt with it. Those paparazzi have signed confidentiality contracts. If these photos are exposed, they will not only compensate Miss Jefferson for her reputation loss, but also be involved in legal proceedings. This is the camera film, and all the backup photos in their mobile phones have been deleted."
Niles took the camera from the paparazzi and handed it to Keith.
In it was a snap of Angelina and Keith talking.
It had to be said that the paparazzi were good at composing shots.
In the snap, Niles stood behind and happened to be blurred.
Angelina was totally a beauty in a cheongsam, and Keith was a charming and noble man.
Angelina looked very touching with a smile on her face and her head up.
Keith was patiently listening to her with his head down.
Although they had no physical contact, the air of romance could be seen.
After the flash was turned off, the paparazzi secretly took many more photos, one of which was about Keith's gentlemanly act of pulling Angelina behind him.
Keith also saw a profile photo of Angelina.
The fitting cheongsam and the camera angle undoubtedly revealed her good figure.
Angelina was very curious about what the paparazzi had captured, so she leaned forward slightly to look at the photos in the camera.
But she lost her footing because of her high heels and then instinctively threw herself into Keith's arms.
"Ah!"
Keith put his arms around her waist at the moment she fell, allowing her to sit steadily in his arms.
Niles held his breath and instinctively turned his head away as soon as he saw that. He just silently went out and closed the door with care.
He thought he shouldn't look at what was contrary to propriety!
Keith smiled after a short while of shock, "Miss Jefferson, I remember this is the secind time you throw yourself into my arms."
Angelina, "..."
Keith lowered his head and looked at Angelina's beautiful face. Then he felt there was some warmth and tenderness in the palms of his hands because he hugged Angelina, which made his breath a bit heavy. He bantered, "Last time, you deliberately threw yourself into my arms because you wanted to cancel the engagement. What's the reason for this time?"
Angelina explained while her eyelashes couldn't help trembling slightly, "I lost my footing just know."
The two of them were so close that they could even feel each other's breaths.
There was no smell of tobacco and alcohol on Keith, instead, Angelina could feel a clear and refreshing smell of men's perfume on him.
Angelina's hands were against his chest, and as he spoke, she could feel that his chest trembled slightly.
That made some tickling sensation occupy her mind.
She even subconsciously held her breath.
Keith asking in a hoarse voice, "You lost your footing?"
His deep and low voice lingered in her ear, which was extremely pleasant to hear.
For a person who was easy to be attracted by a pleasant voice like Angelina, Keith's voice was totally charming.
Angelina dared not move, and all her attention was attracted by his voice.
Angelina froze a little and explained, "I know my explanation is a little unconvincing, but I really didn't do it on purpose."
Keith responded in a low voice before looking at her with all his composure, "Do you know what the consequence will be if you can't stand steadily next time?"
Angelina murmured, "What?"
Keith tightened his hand around her waist, and said in a low and deep voice, "Do you think you can still go away next time?"
Angelina instinctively wanted to stand up to leave, but Keith held her tightly and showed no sign of letting her go.
Keith looked at her with a deep smile, "Miss Jefferson, you haven't answered my question yet."
Could she still go away next time?
Angelina blinked her eyes and asked, "Mr. Fuller, if I accidentally fall into your arms next time, will you let me go?"
Keith showed a shallow smile and slowly responded, "No, I won't."
Angelina rarely lost her footing when wearing high heels. When auditioning just now, she even completed to dance smoothly in high heels in front of Frank.
But she didn't know why, in front of her "future husband", she lost her footing twice.
It was outrageous!
At the moment, Niles asked Keith outside the door, "Mr. Fuller, Director Gates is here to see Miss Jefferson. He said he wants to discuss the signing of the contract with Miss Jefferson."
Keith responded in a low voice, "Okay, I see."
As Angelina was about to get to the door, Keith suddenly called, "Miss Jefferson."
Angelina turned to look at him.
Keith said gently, "See you tomorrow."
After finishing signing the contract, Angelina went to the company with Janet.
The movie filmed by Frank would be released in the New Year, and its screening rate would definitely be high.
Prior to the filming of the movie, some people even began to estimate its box office and many actors competed fiercely for the characters in the movie.
So Janet was surprised that Angelina could be the heroine.
Janet exhorted, "I talked with Director Gates today and he said that the male lead is still not sure if he has time. He is a Best Actor with an accent, so you'd better watch some movies with him in it so that you can cooperate with him well."
Angelina was a bit stunned, asking, "He has an accent? So the movie will be dubbed?"
Janet nodded and said, "The movie is a palace drama, so it have a high demand for sound. Even a little accent can easily make a bad effect. If there are no accidents, the movie will be equipped with voice actors."
Hearing that, Angelina suddenly thought of Might Keith.
He was a mysterious figure in the dubbing business.
The record of views he set so far had not been broken.
However, Might Keith had been out of the dubbing business for a long time, and Angelina didn't know if she would have the chance to see his new works again.
Janet added, "By the way, our company will arrange a dinner party tomorrow evening. Would you like to come to the party?"
Angelina regained her composure, shook her head, and said with a smile, "I can't go to the party. I'm going back to the Jansberg City tomorrow."
That bet had already been made.
And the result would be revealed tomorrow.
