Chapter 141 Keeping a Distance
Chapter 141 Keeping a Distance
'Previously, I asked him to keep a distance from me. Why didn't he listen to me? Why didn't he keep a distance with me until Anna is about to have a baby?
What does he take me for? Why does he think he can get whatever he wants? If he wants to be close to me, then he will get closer to me. If he wants to stay away from me, I must follow?'
Thinking of this, Rachel was very angry.
"I want to stay away from you for a long time! Do you think that I am willing to have anything to do with you? Because of you, I am targeted by that woman every day and lived in danger. Do you think I'm willing to live such a life?
I've had enough, Clark! Let's terminate the agreement after finishing the shooting of "Light of Peace"! We have nothing to do with each other from now on. It's time for both of us to be finally free!"
Rachel blurted out what she had been holding back for quite a long time. She was quite delighted to say that, but Clark's face was darkened, and his aura was getting colder and colder.
"So, you did prepare for terminating the contract secretly?" Clark said coldly, gritting his teeth.
With an indifferent smile, Rachel said, "Yes, I don't want to hear anyone say that I'm relying on the power of President Clark! I don't want to be seen as a person who only has beauty! I will prove my value with my strength!"
"Okay, as you wish!" His eyes were as cold as ice, and his words were even colder than his eyes.
Rachel had imagined the scenes when Clark disagreed many times, and even thought about how to convince him. But she did not expect that he would agree so easy!
In an instant, her heart sank and broke into pieces.
Watching his receding figure, she was so depressed that she wanted to cry.
However, she knew that she had to put it on the agenda if she wanted to. Thus, she forced himself not to be sad about this matter, and had to brace herself up to finish the remaining parts of "Light of Peace". Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The more critical the situation was, the more likely it would be to arouse her fighting will.
In the following, she was too busy to think about other things. Every day, she fell asleep as soon as she lay in the bed.
She contact the professional agent from Logan entertainment, Randall, whom she had met at a banquet before, and told him that she was about to terminate her contract with Clark.
Randall asked in amazement, "Will Clark let you go? You are now a popular star in the entertainment industry."
"He agreed. After finishing the shooting of "Light of Peace", I'll officially terminate the contract. How's everything going on your side?" Rachel asked.
Randall paused and said, "I can't leave now. Things are complicated here and it's hard to explain in a few words."
Rachel said with a smile, "Mr. Clark, I've heard that your situation is not very good in Logan entertainment. And your artist can't make your dream come true either. If you are willing to be my agent, I promise to give you a salary even more than what you got from Logan entertainment!"
"Ha-ha," Randall laughed heartily, saying, "Miss Rachel, I didn't expect that you are not only good at acting, but also have a high IQ. You even ask someone to investigate me?"
Rachel immediately replied, "Don't be angry, Mr. Randall. I am pretty sure you have also investigated me. In fact, I appreciate you very much. In the past, the band under you with was top class in Asia. Unfortunately, although Logan entertainment mainly involves in the development of music industry, it has declined now. You don't have much room for development there."
It took him by great surprise that Rachel knew so much about Logan entertainment.
"I will consider your suggestion carefully." Randall didn't say anything else and hung up the phone quickly.
After hanging up, Rachel thought of the cold face of Clark, and the words that other people said that she could have a smooth life today all because of him. She swore that she had to depend on her own ability!
But she couldn't do it on her own, so she had to build a strong team with a group of people who were willing to work with her.
Bob often saw Rachel in a daze after she finished her performance. And once on the camera, she immediately changed into another person. He had to admire her powerful inner strength.
He had more or less heard that she was going apart with Clark, but eventually he said nothing.
However, Amanda had just gotten the news from somewhere. She was afraid that Rachel was hurt, so she had to stop what she was doing and came to comfort her.
"My brother always says things in an improper way. If he says something to hurt you, don't take it seriously. Just take it as nonsense!"
Hearing what Amanda said, Rachel couldn't help bursting into laughter. "According to what you said, your brother has no prestige in your mind now?"
"I used to be afraid of him, but now I'm not afraid of him anymore. You're my idol. If he dares to bully you, I'll ask grandpa to stand up for you!" Amanda said indignantly.
Rachel shook her head and said, "It's only a matter of time that we terminate our contract. He has never said anything excessive to me. It was me who suggested it, and he took advantage of the situation to say yes."
"That's all?" Amanda was shocked.
Rachel frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"No, nothing," Amanda replied with a smile, saying, "My brother was drunk last night and called your name when he was asleep. He didn't look well."
Stunned, Rachel still couldn't believe what she just heard.
"You must have misheard that, or you just make fun of me on purpose! Your brother told me that Anna was going to have a baby soon and he wanted to keep a distance from me so that she would not misunderstand us. So do you think I will believe your words?" raising her eyebrows slightly, Rachel said jokingly.
Amanda was shocked. She exclaimed, "How dare he talk to you like that? Wasn't he afraid that his grandfather would punish him?"
With a serious look in her eyes, Rachel nodded her head and continued, "So, from now on, don't mention your brother to me anymore. Your sister-in-law is Anna Bai, not me.
From now on, I have nothing to do with him. We don't owe each other and we are no longer related."
Rachel said word by word, seemingly very relaxed, but only herself knew her mood.
Amanda said pitifully, "I respect your choice. But our relationship will never change. You are still my idol and best friend!"
"In order not to let Miss Amanda down, as an idol, I have to work harder and run my own career well. Only in this way can I be worthy of the love you have for me, right?" Rachel grinned.
Amanda was so touched that she nodded her head repeatedly. She hugged Rachel and said, "I'm glad to be your motivation. No matter what difficulties you will encounter in the future, I and the Ji Family will spare no effort to help you!"
"Thank you." Tears flashed in Rachel's eyes. It was rare that someone would care about her all the time. She must cherish it.
After sending Amanda away, Rachel finally felt relaxed. But she seemed to have been drained of energy.
Why did Clark call her name when he was asleep? Amanda must be kidding!
She wouldn't believe that. Amanda must have been lying to make her feel better?
After that, Amanda left the filming site and went to the hospital directly.
'Anna Bai is about to give birth to the baby? Why didn't Clark tell us about it?' Amanda thought to herself.
Soon enough, Amanda had someone check out the hospital where Anna was. When she was in the ward, she saw Fiona and Anna were peeling fruit. They were talking and laughing. A harmonious atmosphere filled the ward.
When Mia saw Amanda standing at the door, she was first stunned, then said in surprise, "Amanda, you come to see me?"
Anna got out of the bed and walked towards Amanda.
"Don't move! Let's just talk like this in case you blame me if anything happens!" Amanda crossed her arms before her chest and looked at Anna.
The smile on her face froze. Anna asked, "Amanda, what do you mean?"
