She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

057 The Blind Guy

Scarlett's POV

"You and Sebastian! You are not exactly 'nemesis', are you?!" I should have known. from the way he talked to Granny. Even if he didn't like Sebastian, there was no way he would really hurt the Knight's empire. Adrian Dunn shoots me a weird look, amused.

But that only adds to the puzzle.

"Then why did you help me...?" If his goal wasn't Sebastian's gossip?

"Do you mean why I accepted your movie proposal, or why am I driving you home?" Adrian cocks an eyebrow, pleasure visible on his face.

"The former," I blurt, "actually, make it both!

He burst into laughter.

"Well," He drawls tauntingly, his smirking eyes kept on the road, "I'm driving you home to deliver a promise I made to two ladies. I hate to disappoint beautiful ladies. And as the former..."Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

His tone makes me nervous for no good reason. I didn't notice I was holding my breath until he glanced at me and laughed-

"I already told you."

"You said you weren't doing it just for the gossip..." I hesitate, that's not exactly at reason, but just an elimination of a reason.

Adrian cocks his eyebrow and makes a surprised face: "Didn't I just tell you? I hate to disappoint beautiful ladies."

"...!" I shoot him a deadpan, watching him enjoy his laugh. Is he this social with any stranger?

"I did say that I like your story though," he grins at me. His taunt was mean, but his eyes were so genuine that I couldn't be mad at him, "but it sounds like you are looking for some answer other than that?"

Not really. Maybe yes. I just don't see an entertainment tycoon sitting down for the first script of a nobody for such a reason. I like my story, but it's not THAT good. 057 The Blind Guy

"In a market where all love stories are about pain and betrayal and cheating, a purely sweet story is one of a kind," Adrian Dunn puts on a serious face, "A guy saved a little. girl when he was a boy himself, meet her again when they grew up without recognizing her as that I get that inspiration?"

At that moment I feel like he sees through me. I feel like he knows - it's my own story, only, it ended how I wished it would.

"It's...a friend's story..." I look away. Sebastian is sort of a friend...right? "Altered as well, obviously."

From the day Ava told me about the mistake, I have been thinking about how it could have been". If only Sebastian came the next day and became friends with me instead of Ava, then maybe being an adopted orphan wouldn't be all that hard. If only he had left the city like be together, and I would be out of the movie, unharmed.

"So when they meet again later," Adrian glances at me, not noticing my panic at all," are you worried that they just fall in love again would be a bit...how to say it, not dramatic enough? You know, drama is all that the market is hungry for."

"Fair question," I nod, putting on my professional mode when I see his, "I understand how love at first sight can be cliche, but while my story looks like so, their history about the incident from ten years ago would be a hidden layer behind it. To the audience, a scene with a n

Adrian Dunn glances at me with a weird look, and I realize I just talked too much. I'm out of control when it comes to writing.

"This man, why did he leave the city when he was a boy, after he saved the girl?" He Masks.

"Well, he went blind and needed surgery,"

Said that, we both burst into laughter but for different reasons. Sorry, Sebastian, but
