Chapter 42 The Mysterious Big Shot
The car arrived at the Chapmans’ Villa.
Lottie got out of the car and as soon as she entered the door, Fabian came up greeting.
The little one had a huge bunch of roses in his arms, “Lottie, congratulations!”
Lottie took the roses, “Congratulations?”
“You are no longer a stunt double. I and Elijah are really happy for you!”
Fabian looked at her and smiled, “Elijah also prepared milk tea especially for you!”
Lottie was touched. She squatted down, cupped Fabian’s face, and gently kissed him on the cheek, “Thank you.”
The little one’s face reddened.
He shyly turned his face away, “I… I…”
“I’m going upstairs to get Elijah down!”
After saying that, he pushed Lottie away and stomped off.
Lottie was amused by Fabian’s look, “Young though he is, he knows to be shy.”
Behind her, tall-figured Ralph took off his suit jacket elegantly and handed it over to the maid, “It’s a matter about genes.”
Lottie paused and looked back at him, “Genes?”
“Mm-hm”
Lottie wrinkled her eyebrows, “Does Fabian and Elijah’s mom gets shy easily?”
Ralph swept her a calm glance, “Not really.”
“Then you say that it’s a matter about genes? If it’s not inherited from their mother…”
Lottie said and her gaze turned to him, “Then is it inherited from you?”
Ralph’s deep dark eyes stared at her face and calmly spat out a word, “Yes.”
Lottie was speechless.
His gaze was burning hot and looking dangerous so she hurriedly turned her face away, not daring to meet his eyes, “Don’t tease me. You are definitely not the easily shy guy.”
“I am.”
Ralph looked at Lottie. A vague smile hung on the corners of his lips, “Try giving me a kiss if you don’t believe it.”
His words were like a fire that spread from Lottie’s face straight to her whole body.
“Lottie, try giving a kiss.”
Fabian’s mischievous little head popped out from the staircase railing and stared at her with a smile, “I want to see daddy’s shy face too!”
Lottie was speechless again.
She blushed and bit her lips, then turned and fled into the kitchen.
After getting into the kitchen, she didn’t forget to close up the kitchen door as well.
Through the frosted glass, Ralph looked at Lottie’s back as she leaned against the kitchen door, and a faint smile curled up on his lips.
He lifted his head and looked at Fabian who stood upstairs.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Fabian was also looking at him.
They locked eyes with each other. In the end, it was the little one who had spoiled daddy’s nice plan who had lost the battle and went back to his room gloomily to complain to his brother.
“Daddy just wants to do something towards Lottie.”
Fabian sat on a small chair with his arms around his chest, and his little face puffed up with anger.
Elijah sat by the desk holding onto a programming book that seemed difficult to understand even for adults, and smiled lightly while reading it, “They’re a legal couple.”
“But daddy has never said he loves Lottie.”
Fabian flattened his lips, still with a dissatisfied face, “From what I’ve seen from cartoons, the prince has to confess his love to the princess first before he can do something!”
Elijah paused as he heard Fabian’s funny words.
A moment later, he turned over a page on the programming book and continued reading, “It’s time for you to read something mature.”
Fabian pursed his lips, “Mature?”
Elijah lifted his hand and flung a copy of Theory on Mechanical Engineering over, “This.”
“I’m not going to become a nerd like you.”
Fabian put the book back on the desk and took out a tablet, “I want to be a mediocre kid.”
Elijah calmly glanced at him and shook his head.
This younger brother of his had the same high IQ as him, yet he was always looking like a little child who seemed to understand nothing.
Elijah really didn’t know if Fabian was really naive, or he was just pretending to be.
…
When Lottie arrived at the Filming Town the next day, the chief director and Luke were already waiting for her at the entrance.
“Lottie, you really are my lucky star!”
As soon as he saw her, the chief director rushed up excitedly, “The news about you and Luke yesterday was so hot on the internet!”
“The discussion has been so huge that it has alerted the real boss of the Filming Town!”
“Brodie called me early this morning and said that the real boss is going to personally supervise the scenes of you and Luke today!”
His face was looking proud, “It seems that the real boss has the same thought as mine. He also thinks you and Luke match perfectly!”
Luke, who was standing beside, also spoke up with a fake smile, “That’s right, Lottie.”
“Many people have already praised us for being such a perfect match yesterday.”
Lottie lifted her eyes and looked at him, “There are so many blind people then.”
Luke’s face changed slightly.
However, he couldn’t mention yesterday’s incident in front of the chief director, so he could only continue smiling, “Don’t talk nonsense, Lottie.”
“The chief director has already said it. Even the real boss of the Filming Town wants to see us interacting together.”
“The boss is coming over personally just to see our interaction, so you’d better perform well today.”
“Yes, yes, yes, you two should perform well!”
The chief director had a smile so wide that a bunch of wrinkles could be seen on his face, “If we can satisfy the real boss, he might even invest additional money on our film!”
With mixed feelings, Lottie was taken into the conference room by the chief director.
To please this so-called big shot, the chief director even arranged for Lottie and Luke to sit right next to each other.
After they sat down, some footsteps were heard from the outside.
“He’s here!”
The chief director was very excited, “I heard that this real boss is mysterious and stinking rich.”
While talking, he also lowered his head to gossip with Lottie, “Don’t you remember not long ago there was a time when the Filming Town was off?”
Lottie nodded. She still remembered it.
That was when she had just married Ralph, Connie called her in the morning and said that the Filming Town was off because this big shot’s woman wanted a break.
She even thought at that time that rich guys were truly different.
“It’s said that the big shot is just this real boss!”
After saying that, the chief director sighed, “I wonder which actress has hooked up with such a big shot.”
Lottie raised her head and also began to look forward to the real face of this big shot.
Finally, the footsteps were getting closer.
The door to the conference room was opened.
A certain man with a domineering aura stood by the door.
Lottie was so shocked that she couldn’t say anything.
Originally, she thought that this big boss that the chief director talked about would be an untidy middle-aged man.
But… it was actually Ralph Chapman?
What the chief director had told her before still lingered in her ears.
The last time when the Filming Town was off, it was because this big shot’s woman needed a break…
So… she was actually the woman of this powerful big shot?
“Greetings!”
The chief director pulled Lottie up to her feet, and everyone else in the conference room also stood up to greet the big shot respectfully.
Ralph nodded indifferently and then walked. He looked elegant but cold.
Ralph wore a black suit today, which made him look more serious and colder.
The chief director was very attentive to pull out the chair from the main seat of the conference room, “Please sit.”
Yet Ralph walked past the chief director and walked straight to Lottie’s side.
Lottie looked at his overly handsome face and silently swallowed her saliva, “You…”
“I want to sit here.”
Ralph spoke calmly, “Can you move?”
Lottie stood up in a daze and gave up her seat.
He sat down directly on the chair that she sat on before and then he gestured her to sit down.
Only when she sat down again did Lottie finally understood his intentions.
The chief director asked her to sit next to Luke because they had a scene together, but now Ralph had them separated!
Luke was displeased, “Sir.”
He looked politely at Ralph, “Lottie and I have a scene to do, and it’s not very convenient being separated by you.”
Ralph glanced at him calmly. His body leaned back, and legs folded up elegantly, “What if I want to sit here and separate you two?”
