Loving A STRANGER Chapter 70
Advertisement
The door opened wider and wider. When the space was large enough for a person to get through, Kylie suddenly turned her back to the room.
She smiled like she didn't care at all. "I was just kidding! I'm not eager to know what's inside, actually." To not be able to walk away from Ethan for her whole life? She hadn't prepared herself for that yet.
The man felt an unutterable sadness; his body became stiff in an unusual way. He maintained his posture, leaning forward a little.
Kylie didn't dare to look back, afraid that she would be cursed for seeing something she shouldn't have seen. Kylie reached behind her and caught the man's hand, which was still on the lock. The always warm hand was now even colder than hers.
"I'll go change first." She didn't have the guts to look into his eyes, and escaped from his armpit, hurriedly running towards the bedroom.
Ethan didn't follow her, but he quietly looked at her escaping body. When Kylie disappeared up the passage, he pushed the door open. It was completely dark inside. The man sneered and strode in, as the door closed behind him.
In the bedroom, Kylie was restless. She was walking in circles and tried to calm herself down enough to face Ethan, who would later come up to find her.
She was curious, absolutely, but she wasn't courageous enough to agree right now to be with Ethan forever, and she understood what it meant to uncover someone's history. She was finally calm enough to face him, but the door of the bedroom remained still.
Kylie stuck her head out and looked around. There was nobody in the passage or in the downstairs living room. Where was Ethan?
Kylie had scarcely taken out her phone to call Ethan when a call came in. She was worried. "Director Johnson?"
She walked back into the bedroom, phone in hand. Julian Johnson was smiling on the other side. "Kylie, Tea House is very popular, especially you."

"Thank you so much for your approval. I'll continue to work hard."
"Um, there is a chance for you." Julian Johnson stopped for a second, then said: "Come to the set right now. The screenwriter has added a part for you."
"Added a part?" Kylie, who had just laid down, now stood up swiftly. "Me? Why?"
"I've said, and you're very popular right now. The screenwriter has adjusted the screen script a little, so now you need to show up for several more scenes. We have also arranged for a male partner for you."
"I'm alive again?" Kylie was surprised. A gangster had assaulted Becky Ruiz for protecting Miss Tea, and then she'd committed suicide out of shame.
"Yes. In the gangster part, you'll need to redo some scenes."
"Great, no problem. I'll be right there." Kylie hung up and quickly changed, rushing downstairs. "Lucy, I have something important to deal with, so I'm not eating at home."
Now that the outdoor scenes were finished, Tea House was being shot indoors at the Film and TV base. Kylie got in a cab and arrived in less than an hour.
Lily Lawrence was showing off, phone in hand, in front of Khloe Finch: "Khloe, you know what, this rich man has been chasing me for more than a year. He sent me flowers, jewelry, and now he is even telling me how much he likes me on Instagram. But I'm not the kind of person who falls in love easily." Right at that moment, Kylie strode in.
Lily Lawrence rolled her eyes. "Unlike someone, who just knows how to go through men, and doesn't show up to work until she hears about her couple."
Khloe was busy preparing for her next scene, and said, without much Attention: "Hasn't she already finished her part? What is the couple's part?"
"Gee, you still don't know about that?" Lily rounded her eyes with shock and replied angrily: "Khloe, I'm not saying something bad about you. But you were supposed to be the most popular actress in Tea House since you're the leading actress. But Director Johnson said that that's not the case. He said that Kylie was the most popular actress, based on online user stats, so he let the screenwriter adjust the script, and add a new part for her."

Khloe believed half and doubted half. Lily looked around, and, seeing that there was nobody nearby, she approached Khloe's ear. "But Kylie's acting skills don't even compare with yours. In my opinion, she must have slept with Director Johnson, so…"
Khloe stopped her for a second and pretended that she was worried about Kylie. "It's quite understandable that people want to be in a higher position. I understand Kylie, but I'm concerned that she'll be given an unqualified partner. It would be a loss, actually."
"She is the kind of person I despise! I wouldn't sleep with Director Johnson, even if he became Prince Charming for me!"
When Lily finished, a Harley motorcycle dashed in and made circles around the place, before suddenly braking in front Julian.
Julian was shocked by the man's appearance. He patted his shoulder, then turned to the crew: "Attention, please. An important figure has shown up. Kylie, come over here."
Lily snorted, "A loser on a Harley motorcycle is still a loser!" and ambled towards Julian. She was laughing at Kylie.
Any actor with little fame would have shown up in a van with an agent and an assistant. She had never witnessed an important figure to arrive at a scene by riding a motorcycle. Khloe had the same thought and was eager to find out what kind of man Julian had arranged for Kylie.
Khloe's partner was Cliff Benjamin, the Best Actor. It was quite an honor among the whole crew.
But Kylie was more popular than her? It must be a joke! If she simply rode on Cliff's coattails by leaking out several amatory pictures, the publicity would be unimaginable.
Khloe would definitely not allow Kylie the chance to surpass her! Khloe unconsciously glanced towards Cliff.
Cliff was already standing up, and was about to leave when he was almost knocked over by Kylie, who was rushing along. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. The director called me, so I'm a little…" Kylie bent, in a hurry to apologize.
"You can go then." Cliff waved his hand with impatience.
Right at that moment, Khloe walked towards them, asking with care: "Cliff, are you alright? Kylie knocked you by accident, but only because she heard that Director Johnson had arranged an important figure for her. Please don't blame Kylie."
An important figure? Was there anyone more important than him? Cliff was annoyed and frowned. "An important figure? Who?"
Khloe knew that she had succeeded in causing Cliff some dissatisfaction, but she pretended that she was in a dilemma. "I haven't gone over and seen yet, but you're the most important figure in my heart."
"Then let's find out!" Cliff said with anger, following Khloe, who had begun to walk towards the crowd.
Kylie shoved through the crowd with difficulty, then decided to escape.
Khloe, who was behind her, saw Kylie escaping, and thought that she must be running away from an ugly partner. Khloe suddenly pushed Kylie into the crowd again.
Kylie had recognized the man standing beside Julian! His blue diamond earring was shining in the sun. Kylie couldn't believe her eyes. Jesus, please kill me now!
Why? Why did her partner have to be him?!
