Chapter 93
Paul had never encountered such a sharp–tongued woman before, especially not from a designer. His temper flared instantly, and he hurled the water cup in his hand toward Moira
Moira look two steps to the side, and the cup smashed on the floor near her feet. The murky tea mixed with loose leaves spilled everywhere, with a couple of drops splashing onto the hem of her pants
Paul pointed at Moira, his face livid with anger. “If you’re unwilling to fake the relationship, then get out! You’re done with this show, Moira, you’re fired”
Moira’s modification project was nearly finished, with only the furniture delivery remaining. She had already ordered the bed and sofa. After giving Linda some final instructions, she packed her things and went downstairs,
Lakisha was about to head back to the hotel for a nap when she saw Moira at the entrance and called out to her. “Are you really planning to just leave like this!
It was the first time Lakisha had voluntarily approached Moira after she had defended Moira carlier.
Moira stopped in her tracks and replied, “Mr. Habichl fired me, I have to leave the hotel now.”
“The show’s almost finished. Don’t you think it’s a bit of a waste to leave now? Lakisha said as she looked at Moira. She was sure a girl like Moira, who had a Beautiful face, tall stature, and perfect figure, would shine in the entertainment industry.
Moira replied. “It’s not a waste. I’ve completed my tasks.”
“That’s not what I mean. I’m saying that playing along with the fake relationship with Benton would benefit both you and the production team. The show’s almost wrapped up. Can’t you wait until it’s over to call it quits?” advised Lakisha.
Moira remained silent for a moment before saying, “My boyfriend wouldn’t be happy about it
Lakisha raised her eyebrows in surprise. “You’re willing to give up the chance to become wildly famous just because your boyfriend wouldn’t like
She had initially admired Moira’s poised and self–respecting personality. To her surprise, Moira turned out to be a love–struck fool
Lakisha continued, “Besides, I heard from Mr. Brown that several companies have already reached out, wanting you and Benton to endorse their brands.
They’ve lined everything up for you. Once the filming wraps, you could start shooting commercials. If you leave now, you’ll lose this chance forever. Moira, think it through. It’s not too late to change your mind”
Hearing the word “endorse,” Moira couldn’t deny she felt a twinge of temptation. But the cost of faking a relationship could mean her relationship with Virgil would have to stay underground, potentially impacting his life and career as well.
“Tve already made up my mind. I won’t regret it, Moira announced firmly.
Lakisha studied the young woman in front of her, who was unshaken by fame and fortune, and said, “Your boyfriend must treat you very well
Thinking about the breakfast Virgil had made for her that morning, Moira smiled softly and affirmed, “Yes, he treats me very well
Lakisha wai momentarily dazzled by Moira’s serene happiness. She nodded and said, “Alright, then. I won’t try to stop you. Ell talk to Mr. Habich and make sure they transfer your payment soon. Take care
Moira gave the veteran actress a a polite nod and d said, “Thank you”
Then, she turned and walked down the stairs with hier luggAKE
It wasmidday, and the heat was oppressive. There was no one at the bus stop. Moira placed her suitcase to the side, sat down, and pulled out her phone she logged into X again to check.
The admin had processed her complaint and took down the original post for revisions. However, the photo hail already spread widely, and she couldnt file complaints fast enough to keep up.
Guilt weighed heavily on her. She opened her contarts, found Virgil’s number, and made a call.
