Chapter 61
This was the first time that Aaron had confessed his love to Yolanda.
It was not gentle love, but more passionate love.
This was the first time he had called her nickname, Yura.
He had always been like this, Both his words and actions would make her feel at ease.
Perhaps many years later, Yolanda would still remember the last night in Newk, when Aaron confessed to her and kissed her.
She would never forget it.
The next day, the two flew back to Capital from Newk.
In the past seven or eight days, Yolanda was still doing the work of the crew. The official account of "The Moment in Love" announced the list of actors every day. Although it wasn't that hot, the popularity of the film was still stable.
The most important was that Yolanda would announce her lover at the box office more than 100 million.
After coming back from Newk, Yolanda went to Darlington in less than two days to prepare for the launch event of the movie.
Originally, as an investor, she didn't have to participate in the event. However, her popularity had been associated with the movie. With the thought of making the best use of the resources, she had no choice but to use herself to publicize the movie.
And the reason why she chose Darlington was that it was the first time for her to be an investor and she hoped that she could promote the tourism development of her hometown.
Therefore, she had already contacted the University of Darlington and reached an agreement to shoot some scenes on campus.
Therefore, it was the best choice to hold the launch event in Darlington.
It was of great significance to her.
This was the place where she grew up and where she fell down and grew up again.
The night before she went to Darlington, Aaron handed her a glass bottle when she was packing,
"Ms. Twelve said she was allergic and asked me to give it back to you."
It was the perfume she had given to Ms. Twelve.
She was stunned. "How could it be? She used it before and said she liked it very much."
"The physique can change at any time. Perhaps," Aaron paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "A more suitable person is waiting for this perfume."
Without thinking too much, Yolanda took it and sprayed some on her body. "It smells so good. Why is she allergic all of a sudden? It's so strange."
After that, she turned around and stretched out her arms and legs. Looking at Aaron, she asked, "does it smell good?"
Aaron looked at her face and smelled the familiar smell. Countless words came to his mouth, but he finally held them back.
"It smells good." He said.
"Really?" It was the first time that Yolanda had seen Aaron confirm something so quickly. She put the perfume into the suitcase and said, "Then I'll take it there."
"Okay," replied Aaron.
Both the perfume and the people should return to their original position and start over.
Yolanda had been on a business trip in Darlington for almost a week. She had personally arranged, publicized, contacted the media, and only video chatted with Aaron every night.
The night before the press conference, she asked Aaron, "are you really not free tomorrow?"
"No," replied Aaron.
Yolanda was a little disappointed, but she understood him. After all, there were a lot of things to deal with in Aaron's company. She didn't have to ask her boyfriend to attend such a small press conference.
Even if he came, she didn't dare to let him show up in public.
It was better to let him do his own business.
After persuading herself, she asked, "do you have time to video chat with me tonight?"
Aaron said, "maybe not."
Why was he so busy?
Out of curiosity, Yolanda asked, "is there any important appointment?"
Aaron paused for a moment and said, "I have to meet a very important person."
Yolanda thought that Aaron was going to meet an important client tomorrow, so she didn't ask more. After a few words, she hung up the video.
Today, Yolanda lived in her own house in Darlington, accompanied by Phoebe.
Seeing that she had hung up the video, Phoebe asked, "why don't chat anymore?"
Lowering her head, Yolanda said softly, "it's getting late. He said he was going to meet an important client tomorrow. I don't want to disturb him."
"Damn it!" Phoebe murmured to herself, "what's wrong with Mr. Jensen? He doesn't come to your first movie. What important client? His ex-girlfriend?"
Yolanda was stunned and asked, "how do you know he has an ex-girlfriend?"
Phoebe knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she quickly said, "I don't know. I just said it casually. Does Mr. Jesnen really have an ex-girlfriend?"
"Yes. But he doesn't like her. He only likes me."
"Are you sure?" Phoebe asked.
Yolanda snorted and hit her with a pillow, "Of course I'm sure. He is my boyfriend."
"Okay." Phoebe said with a smile.
Yolanda didn't know what Phoebe meant by her strange tone, but she didn't think too much about it. She pulled Phoebe to the cloakroom and said, "help me choose the clothes for me to go to the press conference tomorrow."
Yolanda took some clothes from Capital, and she pointed at the new clothes for Phoebe to choose from. Phoebe looked at them for a while, but she shook her head.
"These are all so ordinary. They don't show how beautiful you are."
Frowning, Yolanda asked, "What?"
Phoebe searched her clothes rack for several minutes and finally found the black down dress in a corner.
Her eyes lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she turned around, picked up the dress, and said to Yolanda, "you must wear this one."
Yolanda felt the dress in her hand a little familiar. After a while, she remembered that the last time she wore this dress was the night before she went bankrupt.
At that time, she wore this black velvet short skirt to attend the concert brightly. But she didn't expect that her life would be turned upside down on the second day.
What a meaningful dress.
With a smile, Yolanda took it from Phoebe and asked, "is it beautiful?"
Phoebe said, "believe me. You are so beautiful in black. You must believe me."
Phoebe almost knelt down to beg Yolanda.
After all, she had sworn to Aaron that she would complete her task in the CEO's office.
After looking at herself in the mirror for a while, Yolanda nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wear this one."
It used to be her last beauty. Now in the same place, she had to pick up all the lights in her past with the same clothes.
The next morning, Charlie came to help Yolanda put on makeup. Today was her big day. She would show up in public in a beautiful way.
With her eyes closed, Yolanda allowed Charlie to dress her up. Phoebe took a screenshot of the video and showed it to Charlie from time to time.
After Charlie finished the styling, Yolanda opened her eyes.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she was slightly stunned for two seconds. Then she looked at Charlie and blinked, "why do you dress me like this?"
"What's wrong?"
Yolanda chuckled. "I wore the same makeup and hairstyle when I wore this dress last time."
Charlie didn't know how to lie. He wiped the sweat nervously and said, "that means we have the same aesthetic taste, and that this is the most suitable for you."
Nodding her head, Yolanda stood up with satisfaction. "Okay, that's it. It's time to go. Has the driver come?"
Phoebe immediately picked up the fragrance on her table and chased after Yolanda, "You can't forget it!"
Yolanda finally got everything ready. After the final check, Phoebe said, "Okay, let's go!"
"Did I make it?" asked Charlie in a low voice.
"Almost," said Phoebe.
"Mr. Jensen will be satisfied, won't he?"
"Who knows..."
All of a sudden, Yolanda turned around and asked, "what are you talking about?"
Hearing that, Phoebe and Charlie immediately stood up and shook their heads, "nothing..."
Although Yolanda sensed that there was something wrong with Phoebe today, she didn't think about it because she was focused on the press conference.
They drove to the building of Woder Plaza.
This was the landmark building of Darlington. Many large-scale high-level activities would be held here.
The last concert of the film was held on the top floor of this building. However, Yolanda only held a simple press conference today, so she didn't have to go to the rooftop.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held in the multi-functional hall on the twelfth floor of Woder Plaza on time.
Before she started, Yolanda received a message from Aaron.
[Good luck!]
The words were brief and to the point, which was his style.
[Have you seen the person you want to see?"]
[Not yet.]
Just then, Lewis came to inform Yolanda that she was going to stage. Yolanda texted back an emoji to Aaron, put away her phone, took a deep breath, and smiled at Lewis. "Let's go."
The multi-functional hall was crowded with entertainment reporters from many media across the country. The press conference was also live broadcast on an app, and tens of thousands of netizens were watching it online.
Yolanda went on the stage, together with the two main characters, the director Dan Cullen, and the producer.
The audience applauded warmly. In addition to paying attention to the movie itself and the main character, the most important person that the reporters wanted to ask questions was naturally the beautiful investor, Yolanda.
And the "great boyfriend" she mentioned.
After several rounds of asking questions about the actors and the movie, the reporters finally aimed at Yolanda and tried their best to get some information from her.
"Is Miss Walter's boyfriend an actress or a singer?"
After pondering for two seconds, Yolanda answered seriously, "he has dabbled in all kinds of things."
Indeed, Aaron had a big company. Not to mention actors and singers, even players and even athletes had signed contracts with him.
Her words caused an uproar among the netizens.
Who was he?
The netizens were all curious.
"I hope Mr. Cullen can finish the movie in three days, and the post-production will be finished in three days. On the seventh day, I want to see the movie released!"
"I've never been so curious. Who is it?"
"Wow, it's amazing. Are you sure he is from the entertainment circle?"
"I also doubt it. Is it a publicity stunt?"
In response to the netizens' questions, the reporter joked, "is the boyfriend you are talking about real?"
Stunned, Yolanda smiled and said casually, "we just video chatted last night."
In fact, all the reporters present knew that no investor would be so stupid to cheat netizens for the box office.
Therefore, no one doubted it anymore.
Someone asked, "There is a movie called The Moment in Love. Miss Walter, can you share with the netizens the moment you fell in love with your boyfriend?"
It was a straightforward question, and it happened to be related to Yolanda.
The reporters quieted down, waiting for her answer.
After pondering for a few seconds, Yolanda smiled and said, "It must be on a snowy night. He walked towards me in the wind and snow."
That was the day when she had just lived in Aaron's home.
That day was the first time she had thought of running away.
When Aaron and Ms. Twelve were not at home, she sneaked out. However, she met James and the other woman on the way. After being ridiculed by the two people, she decided to come back. However, she didn't have the key to enter, so she had to wait from day to night at the door.
It was the first snow last year.
At that time, Yolanda was still in a wheelchair. The snow fell all over her body, and even her eyelashes.
She was cold and hungry and had nowhere to go.
She thought of her bankrupt family, her ex-boyfriend who hit her when she was down, and herself who was crippled.
For a long time, Yolanda closed her eyes, feeling that her world was in endless darkness.
This was the worst night in her life.
Later, the wind and snow became quiet, and she was trapped in this endless confusion and darkness.
Her eyes lit up.
Later, the man who was walking toward her with the wind and snow took her back to a warm home and lit up her world again.
After being together with Aaron, she often wondered when she had fallen in love with him.
After thinking for a long time, she finally found that night when she saw him walking toward her with heavy snow on his shoulder.
At that moment, perhaps it was the beginning of her love for him.
On the day of the first snow, she should be with the one she loved.
God was hinting at her.
Although Yolanda's answer was only a few words, it caused a stir among the netizens.
"What a romantic night!"
"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel that it's fine if her boyfriend is my idol?"
"Me too. I pictured how my idol walked towards her in the snow night. Ah, ah, ah, I've already begun to like them!"
"You guys wake up!"
"Yolanda only needs to say one sentence at the beginning. We can make up the rest by ourselves."
"So who is it? Who is it? Ah ah ah!"
At the same time, Aaron was watching the live broadcast.
He had seen both Yolanda's answer and the comments.
The man next to him reminded him, "Mr. Jensen, the press conference is about to end."
Aaron nodded slightly, "okay."
In the multi-functional hall, as the host of the press conference, Lewis began to say ending words.
While thanking the media present, he hoped that everyone could give more support to the movie.
"Mr. Watler has prepared a buffet party on the rooftop of the building. Thank you for coming. You can go straight to the top floor from here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters were all surprised.
"Mr. Watler is so kind."
"I happen to be hungry. It's my first time to meet such a generous crew."
"It's said that the rooftop restaurant of Woder Plaza is very expensive. The whole restaurant booked for one night, not including catering, will be eight hundred thousand."
"Well, then we will go back and praise her!"
That was how the media were doing. One had to pay some hard work to survive in the entertainment circle.
Yolanda had thought of this earlier. She had prepared a small gift box for each media, but to her surprise, as soon as Lewis finished his words, Yolanda turned around to look at him in confusion. It seemed that she was asking, "are you crazy?"
"When did I order the rooftop buffet?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
But a few seconds later, she calmed down and seemed to understand something.
Lewis worked for Aaron.
He couldn't be talking nonsense. There must be such a party on the rooftop, so he dared to say so.
So...
Did Aaron arrange it for her?
This was indeed his style.
Without thinking too much, Yolanda followed him to the rooftop.
It had been almost a year since she came here last time. It was strange that Yolanda didn't feel that things had changed.
It seemed that everything here tonight had been deliberately created, with a warm and romantic sense of familiarity everywhere, rich flowers in the nose, melodious and advanced symphony...
There were many familiar scenes flashing back in her mind, but she didn't have time to look at them.
The crowd passed by her. She smiled stiffly. It was not until she saw countless faces that she realized that it was not just an ordinary press conference.
In addition to the media she had invited, there had already been many guests.
They were all big shots in the entertainment circle.
From the elder to the child star, almost all the famous figures of the domain were present.
The surrounding media whispered.
"Mr. Watler is really a big boss. So many people come to support her."
"I have never known her background. Now it seems that I can't figure it out."
"It seems that her top boyfriend is not a publicity stunt."
While the media were discussing, some stars also entered the venue.
The cameras kept flashing. In a hurry, Yolanda was at a loss.
She found an opportunity to call Aaron with earphones.
The other side picked up the phone, "hello."
"Did you arrange the rooftop?"
Aaron didn't deny it. "Are you satisfied?"
Yolanda didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. At first, she was in a daze, but then she sighed.
A year ago, when she was standing here, she was still a rich lady. She accompanied Phoebe to find Mr. Cullen and recommended Phoebe to him. She comforted Phoebe who failed not to be discouraged.
In the end, she even had the guts to ruin Sally's plan and stuffed the note into Aaron's hand.
That night was the beginning of the story, but Aaron let her stand here again today.
What kind of fate was this.
She wanted to laugh and cry.
She wanted to tell Aaron a lot and what the rooftop meant to them.
But she was working now.
She also remembered that Aaron had something important to do tonight.
She had to press all the waves first and answered, "yes, thank you, Brother."
Then she asked, "what about you? Have you seen the person you want to see?"
Aaron said calmly, "I'm going to see her now."
"Okay. Then you can go ahead with your work. When you finish, I have something to tell..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of a flashlight again.
The flashlight came one after another. It sounded like a very important guest had come.
At the same time, the same voice came from Yolanda's earphones.
She paused and seemed to understand something. She turned around in disbelief.
The reporters and guests surrounded the person who came in. Two reporters who ran past her said while running.
"Aaron is here! I must be crazy! What day is it tonight?"
"Hurry up. We can't make it to the front row."
Stunned, Yolanda stared at the entrance.
Numerous flashlights were shooting at Aaron. At a glance, she saw a side face that had been scratched by the light.
For a moment, she seemed to dream back to the scene of last year.
They were in the same place, in the same scene, and the same place.
She looked at the elegant man in black, who entered the hall under the gaze of millions of people.
The phone was still on.
She could hear the reporters surrounding Aaron and asking questions.
"Mr. Jensen, are you here to support The Moment?"
"Mr. Jensen, what do you think of the future of this play?"
"Mr. Jensen, please say something."
"On the top search before, did you see the direction of your girlfriend?"
Aaron didn't answer a word. Dan took him over and said to the media, "don't disturb Mr. Jensen. I hope you can focus on the movie tonight. Thank you."
The reporters seemed to understand and said that Aaron came here for the sake of Dan.
After the others dispersed, Yolanda stood in the crowd and looked at Aaron from afar.
At this point, she finally realized what the man meant by "I'm not free tonight and I'm going to see an important person" before.
Pursing her lips, she asked with a smile, "is this the surprise you prepared for me?"
"It's not a surprise." The man's low voice came through the earphone.
"Then what is it?" asked Yolanda.
But before she could answer, Aaron hung up the phone.
She looked up and saw the man slowly walking towards her with a glass of wine in his hand.
Last year, it was she who walked towards him.
But now, he was walking toward her.
In a trance, Yolanda felt that time had changed something, but it seemed that it had never changed.
No matter what, they were destined to be together.
She waited quietly. Finally, the man came to her.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them clinked glasses politely and then talked about something.
In the middle of the crowd, where no one had heard, Aaron said to Yolanda, "I've watched the live broadcast of the press conference."
"Oh," Yolanda knew that the man was talking about her confession, so she replied on purpose, "Mr. Jensen, do you have any advice?"
She was eloquent, but also exceedingly fascinating.
"Can I give you advice?" Aaron asked with a smile.
Taking another sip of the wine, Yolanda greeted a female star next, pretending to talk to Aaron casually.
"Are you very proud now?"
"Why?"
"I fell in love with you so early. You must be very proud of yourself."
In the evening light, Yolanda was holding a glass of wine. Her long curly hair was drooping to the side, and her black hair was charming and lazy.
The familiar smell of perfume swept over her, and a bright and confident smile appeared on her lips.
Everything seemed to go back to that night.
She was the woman who was shining in the crowd.
Time couldn't go back.
But from this moment on, it could modify the first encounter in each other's memory.
Let bygones be bygones.
This time, he would hold her hand tightly.
Aaron pursed his lips and looked at her. "How about you ask me the same question?"
Withdrawing her gaze from the side, Yolanda blinked her eyes and asked, "the same question?"
Suddenly, she came to her senses. "The moment you fell in love with me?"
"Yes."
She didn't believe that he would fall in love with her earlier than her, but she still teased him in the same way as the reporter did, "Well, Mr. Jensen, when did you fall in love with your little baby?"
"Where were you at that time? What were you doing?"
It was quiet for a while.
The things around seemed to be slowly stagnant.
Yolanda heard Aaron say something to her, "Right here."
Right here.
The smile on her face froze. Before she could figure out what he meant, he put something into her hand.
She lowered her eyes and opened her hands. When she saw the thing that was handed over by him, her eyes widened in disbelief.
It was a note with creases.
It was her delicate handwriting.
The man's voice fell to her ear like a star on this brilliant night.
Distant and familiar.
"I've loved you for a long time, my ex-girlfriend."
