Chapter 19
On the first day of work, Yolanda held the list of shortlisted actors for the first stop of the "Young Actor Selection Program" that Azel Studio had just launched in Darlington not long ago.
There were profiles and photos of twenty actors.
Yolanda was like an investor, picking the one most likely to make money for herself among the dark horses.
During turning pages, she suddenly saw a familiar face.
Yolanda's eyes opened slightly -
Phoebe? ? ?
After carefully reading the birthdays in the information, and then looking at the photos attached, Yolanda was sure she was Phoebe indeed.
Yolanda vaguely remembered that at the Darlington Hotel that night, Phoebe seemed to have said what kind of selection plan she had participated in.
In other words, Phoebe was a finalist? !
Yolanda was inexplicably excited when she saw her confidante's profile appearing here.
Aaron asked she to see which of these people has the most potential - Yolanda thought, was there any need to look again?
Of course was her confidante!
The Walter lost power, and all those former friends were shunned. Only Phoebe would visit Elbert, and she would also come to her without hesitation because of a WeChat message, and help her give Wendy a slap in her face together.
Good sister, one must support her for a lifetime.
Yolanda immediately picked up Phoebe's photo and showed it to Aaron,
"I choose her."
Aaron didn't even look at the photo, and asked, "Reason?"
"First of all, the appearance has its own characteristics, it is not the plastic surgery face that can be seen everywhere in the entertainment industry, such a face is of high plasticity. Secondly, looking through the information, this young lady has already acted in a lot of plays. Although they are all supporting roles, I found that many of them are from the same director, which means that even if it is a supporting role, this young lady has been already acknowledged by the director. So the director is willing to continue to use her."
"In fact, the most serious people in every walk of life are these who like green leaves. They are dedicated to their work. Sometimes they may not be discovered by the public, but it is all because of a lack of opportunity."
Yolanda desperately told Aaron the good things about Phoebe.
Aaron laughed inexplicably, "You have analyzed it well."
"Isn't it right?"
Aaron would just have wanted to find something for Yolanda to pass the time, not really wanted her to see it.
But since she chose seriously, he took a second look.
Aaron looked and found that the girl in the photo was not pretty, but as Yolanda said, her plasticity was not bad.
It was a face suitable for the big screen.
In the entertainment industry, which ones are suitable for TV, which ones are suitable for movies, which ones can live by this, and which ones can not, Aaron can know at a glance.
He put the information back again, "I have a meeting at 10 o'clock, you just sit here and wait for me to come back, do you hear me?"
Although Aaron didn't have much reaction to Bernard's photo, Yolanda knew that this kind of thing cannot be in a hurry. Anyway, Phoebe has been shortlisted, and Yolanda has chance to persuade Aaron.
So she nodded cooperatively, "Okay."
As soon as Aaron left, Yolanda immediately called Phoebe,
"Guess what I just saw in Aaron's office?!"
Phoebe was even more excited than her, "what the fuck! You went to the boss's office?"
... Her confidante's excitement would never be on the same line as herself.
Yolanda held her forehead and said, "I saw that you were shortlisted! You were shortlisted for that selection plan!"
"This," Phoebe was very calm, "I already knew that."
Yolanda was about to ask, but she heard that in Phoebe 's side, there seemed to be the sound of an airport broadcast. She was slightly startled, "Where are you now?"
Phoebe smiled, "Capital Airport, are you surprised?"
"The airport?"
"I received a message yesterday notifying me to go Capital to participate in the director re-examination on January 7th. But the air tickets are very expensive after New Year's Day, so I came here first because the fare is cheap today."
"..."
At the critical moment of planning to attack James, Phoebe suddenly arrived, just like God suddenly airdrop over a friendly army so that Yolanda would not have to fight alone.
God knows that it was due to the cooperation with Phoebe that Yolanda gave Wendy a slap in her face.
At that time, Yolanda argued with Wendy inside, and Phoebe followed her outside, sending a signal if Aaron came.
The two cooperated so seamlessly.
Yolanda was very happy because of this, "Come on, we must meet at noon."
Phoebe sent a her a position. Yolanda just opened it to check the address, when the office door was pushed open.
Aaron walked in.
Yolanda hurriedly stood up, "Brother."
After a second, she changed her tone, "Mr. Jensen."
Aaron glanced at the phone she had put away in a panic, "What are you doing?"
Yolanda kept a straight face, "Nothing, just games."
Aaron didn't bother to bother with her. As noon approached, he sorted out the documents on the table, "Let's go, for dinner."
Yolanda paused, and said, "Mr. Jensen. "
Aaron was waiting for what she said.
"Well, I just saw on the Internet that there is a new beef noodle restaurant nearby. I want to eat it, do you want to come with me?"
Before Aaron could speak, Yolanda immediately said, "I know you must not be used to eating in that kind of place. Forget it, no need to put up with it for me, I'll just go eat alone. Don't worry, I'll be back to work on time before two o'clock."
After she finished speaking, she slipped out of the office.
"..."
Aaron stood for a while before regaining his senses -
She went to dinner alone?
She didn't stick to himself anymore?
And surprisingly, this feeling made Aaron a little unaccustomed to.
Forget it. He thought again for a long time.
She's not a child.
Besides,
he really doesn't need to take her by his side.
After all, she will be leaving when she regains her memory.
Thinking of this, Aaron pressed his eyebrows and dialed Blair's outside phone, "Order a working lunch for me. "
On the other side, Yolanda and Phoebe met successfully in a shopping mall during lunch time.
Phoebe's director reexamine was still several days away. Before that, she was staying at the house of a makeup artist friend she knew.
Yolanda told her straightly that she wanted to stare at James on New Year's Eve, and Phoebe was so excited to hear these,
"You must take me with you for such an exciting thing, how can you do it alone, I'll accompany you."
At first, Yolanda was afraid that Phoebe would be embarrassed, but surprisingly, she took the initiative to ask to participate in the battle, which made Yolanda feel relieved.
"The day after tomorrow, my plan is..."
Half an hour later, the simple meeting ended.
Yolanda was afraid that leaving Aaron alone at noon would made him unhappy, so she bought some snacks on the way back. When she returned to the company, she took the initiative to show kindness to Aaron,
"I bought you dried strawberries. "
Aaron refused, "No need."
Yolanda thought he was angry, and after a pause, she simply took a slice of dried strawberries and stuffed it into his mouth, "Have a try, I bought it all the way.
The movement was too fast, and her fingertips swept across Aaron's lips,
although it was only half a second.
Yolanda took it away heartlessly, and asked with a blink of an eye, "How is it, isn't it sweet?"
The temperature of the soft fingertips is like a small and slow fire, starting from Aaron's lips, quietly, quietly, gradually thickening, and spreading all the way to the throat.
The dryness swept up.
Aaron swallowed, with his Adam's apple rolling up and down after a few times, he spit the dried strawberries in his mouth into the trash can with a blank face, and then stared at Yolanda,
"You are getting bolder."
The smile on Yolanda's face suddenly stopped, "..."
Yeah, probably because they have been getting along very harmoniously these days, Yolanda almost forgot his taboo.
She withdrew her hand embarrassingly, "I'm sorry."
She stepped back, "Then Mr. Jensen, what is my work in the afternoon?"
Aaron replied, "Don't bother me, you can do anything."
"..."
Although Yolanda sneaked into the office fot the first-hand information about James, she didn't want to waste the opportunity as she came here.
This is the office with the strongest capital in the entertainment industry, and any document on the table is enough for Yolanda to learn for a long time.
She was looking through the materials and studying. Occasionally when she was tired, she would secretly look up at Aaron.
He was very efficient in handling affairs, even facing the most difficult problems, he could handled calmly.
To be honest, when he was completely absorbed in his work, he was very attractive.
Compared with the fiercely face, he was much more handsome at this moment.
They didn't disturb each other in the afternoon with a tacit understanding.
The next two days of work were in this state. On New Year's Eve, everyone in the company was just ready to knock off. Aaron also knew that tonight was a special day, so he did not arrange any overtime tasks.
At six o'clock, when everyone outside the office started to collect things and leave, Aaron glanced at his watch, and after a while, he asked Yolanda as casually as possible,
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
However, Yolanda took out a small mirror and replied, "Don't worry about me, I have something to do tonight."
Aaron, "?"
He frowned, looking at Yolanda who was doing her makeup, asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Isn't there a little trace on my nose? I made an appointment with a scar removal clinic a few days ago, and I will go for treatment tonight."
After telling the reasons she had prepared, Yolanda asked Aaron again, "What about you? Are you going to work overtime again?"
Aaron looked away silently, continued to look at the computer, and after a long time he said, "Yes."
Yolanda knew that he would definitely work overtime.
She worked overtime with him every night until ninety o'clock in the past few days.
"Then..." Yolanda Walter stood up gently and pointed to the outside, "I'll go first? "
Aaron didn't speak.
Although Yolanda felt that the man's reaction was not normal, she couldn't care more about it now because had to rush to the hotel to get ready.
"Bye brother, happy New Year." After saying that, Yolanda quickly turned around and left quickly.
It was when she left that Aaron's expression finally changed slightly.
It was like a bird that had been raised for a long time, from frail and sickly to full-fledged, sticking to himself in doing things, to being no longer needed you at first.
Aaron walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the lights outside the window, and tilted his head to light a cigarette.
Some emotions in his heart slowly spread along with the smoke, flooding the quiet office in the night.
The New Year's Eve party of Capital TV station started at 7:30 pm. James performed the opening song. If he went back to the hotel after the performance, he should arrive before 8:30.
Yolanda went straight to the hotel from the office, and found the opposite side in the lobby. The revolving door had the best view so that she could see James as soon as possible.
She sent Phoebe a Whatsapp message: [Have you arrived yet?]
Phoebe: [On the way, wait for me for five minutes.]
Everyone was happy celebrating the New Year's Eve, she had to wear sunglasses and a mask to catch adultery in the act, which was really exciting.
Yolanda was a little excited: [Quickly, I can't wait.]
After a while, a black figure walked in front of Yolanda.
Yolanda raised her head and looked at a long time - "Who are you?"
In fact, she already recognized it, but she didn't quite believe it, "My God. I asked you to disguise a little and come over. Is it necessary to dress up as a man directly? ? ? "
Phoebe also smiled at Yolanda, "Aren't you? What does Chun-Li's haircut mean, coming to beat James?"
In order not to be recognized, Yolanda changed her past glamorous image and put two buns on her head.
She closed her mouth for a while and then said, "It's better than pretending to be a man."
Phoebe stroked the men's wig that was on her head, "I even asked my friend to make it for me. He is the best at special effects makeup on the set, and this makeup could make sure that James won't recognize me."
Yolanda said reluctantly, "Forget it, that's it. "
While talking, she suddenly saw a woman coming in outside the door.
To be precise, Yolanda saw the bag she was carrying first.
It was the same bag as the mistress Flora's bag, dark green, very eye-catching.
Their figures were very close.
But the woman was wrapped tightly, with sunglasses, hat, and mask, so that she could barely see her face.
Yolanda's intuition told her that she was Flora, so she immediately took out her mobile phone to take pictures, and said to Phoebe, "That woman, go see which floor she goes to."
Phoebe quickly followed.
In front of the elevator door, the waiter in white gloves nodded politely, "Welcome to check in."
Five minutes passed, and Phoebe returned to the lobby.
"1607," she said, "fortunately, you had the foresight to book rooms beforehand, but the waiter just now asked me to show my room card. Damn it, was it because I was too handsome to draw his attention?"
Yolanda was speechless.
Although Yolanda knew that the jerk would be staying in this hotel tonight, she didn't know which floor or room he was in. Even fans wouldn't get such private information.
The room standard of Cielo Hotel was very high. Yolanda had earnestly studied it. With James's heavyweight, the total suite room was not suitable, and the normal suite room should not be suitable. After the elimination method, the most likely one was the business river view suite room on 16-18 floors.
Who is reluctant to let the child cannnot catch the wolf. For the convenience of tracking, Yolanda spent a lot of money to make Phoebe book three rooms on these three floors in advance.
The woman suspected of Flora appeared, and now what they should do was waiting for James.
Yolanda and Phoebe leaned against each other, paying full attention to the people who came in.
Today is New Year's Eve, and there are themed activities in the restaurant of Cielo Hotel, so there are a lot of guests coming in and out. After watching for a while, Phoebe Can't help but wonder,
"With so many people, can you really recognize who is James Hiltonis?"
"Of course," Yolanda is very confident, "his feet are smelly."
"...?"
Phoebe continued to look out. After a while, a white nanny car drove outside the hotel.
Yolanda knew that car. It was that car that James and mistress got off from and hugged before, which disgusted her.
Yolanda sat upright suddenly, and siad, "Come on."
Phoebe also immediately cheered up and stretched her arms, "Quickly, grab my arm!"
Yolanda pretended to hold Phoebe, while staring at the person who got out of the car.
That's right, it was James.
He didn't hide much, only wearing a hat. Some fans followed him to express their love to him, but they were stopped by the security when James entered the hotel.
Yolanda and Phoebe stood at the elevator entrance ahead of time, and slowly waited for the footsteps behind them. When the footsteps arrived, Yolanda's heart beat to the extreme, thinking that James would be in the same elevator as she. However, the elevator in the other side which was always closed suddenly opened.
James and the staff walked in the other one together.
Yolanda thought, goodness, they arranged the exclusive elevator.
Yolanda did not rush to leave, and quietly watched the elevator rising and found that it finally stopped on the 18th floor.
Sure enough, Yolanda guessed it.
Yolanda and Phoebe looked at each other and immediately followed. But no matter how fast the elevator was, by the time they reached the 18th floor, the entire corridor had returned to silence.
Every room was closed, and no one knew in which one James lived.
Yolanda had to open the door of her room, and she said, "I don't believe he won't come out today."
Time passed by like this, until nine thirty in the evening. Except for the occasional guest coming in and out, there was no movement from James.
Phoebe squatted a little bored, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever slept with James?"
Yolanda replied, "How is it possible? He doesn't deserves it!"
"Well," Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief, "Today my friend who was a makeup artist told me that James even sleeps with his fans, and everyone in the circle knew that."
"..."
Just when Phoebe told Yolanda about the bad things she had heard, there was finally another movement in the corridor.
The door of a room opened.
It was James!
He changed into casual clothes and was followed by several people. They seemed to be going out.
Yolanda immediately pushed Phoebe, and they also opened the door and quietly followed behind.
Phoebe's men's clothing played a big role at this time. Others only regarded them as a young couple and didn't pay much attention.
This time James went to the 39th floor.
Phoebe asked with a frown, "The 39th floor seems to be a top-floor restaurant, what is he doing there?"
Yolanda immediately held down the elevator next to her and answered, "You'll know if you follow up and take a look."
So they followed to the restaurant.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the hotel restaurant held a New Year's Eve theme party. Celebrities gathered on the top floor, leading the hotel restaurant a busy place.
Phoebe cursed as she walked, "If it weren't for this dead jerk, we should have a happy New Year's Eve today."
Yolanda kept her eyes on James and saw that he was sitting down in one place for a meal, just as usual.
She also sat down in a nearby place and replied to Phoebe, "If we don't catch him in anything, we just think of it as coming here to celebrate the New Year."
As she said, she picked up the menu. "Order something, don't be recognized."
Phoebe looked at the menu seriously, and ordered a few cheap ones.
However, James, who was sitting opposite them, remained silent, eating, drinking, and chatting with the people around he normally.
He was completely waiting for the New Year's Eve.
After watching it for a while, Yolanda was a little frustrated, "Did I really mistake that mistress just now?"
Phoebe comforted her, "Even the paparazzi can't guarantee that they can capture the evidence every time they follow, you've done your best."
Yolanda was about to say something when the phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and looked at it, and immediately made a shush.
"It's Aaron!"
Phoebe was also taken aback, and gestured with her mouth-"What should I do?"
There was a lot of noise around, and Yolanda was afraid that they would be exposed by frequent walking to answer the phone. After thinking about it, she simply hung up the phone.
Then she texted to Aaron: [Brother, I am taking skin care and it is inconvenient to pick up, I will call you later.]
Seeing Yolanda texting, Phoebe suddenly became puzzled, "Doesn't Mr. Jensen celebrate the New Year's Eve?"
Yolanda replied, "Do you think he is the kind of romantic person?"
"..."
The two of them waited idly for a while. At ten o'clock, the jazz band in the restaurant suddenly started playing, and the rhythmic drum music instantly pushed the atmosphere in the restaurant to a climax.
Phoebe also swayed along with the music, and by the way poked Yolanda next to her, "Don't be depressed, even if we didn't capture the evidence today, isn't there still something about him making sex with fans? Come on, be happy, don't be unhappy in the New Year's Eve because of a jerk."
Phoebe put her hand on Yolanda's shoulder and took out her mobile phone, said, "This is our first New Year's Eve in Capital. I am so handsome and you are so cute. We must take a photo as a souvenir."
Yolanda was amused by her words, "How handsome, boy."
The two took a close selfie in front of the camera. When they were photographed, they frequently showed various amazing movements.
Suddenly, Yolanda glanced from the corner of the eye and quickly lowered her head, "Stop taking pictures, James stood up."
James who was sitting not far away suddenly got up and walked straight towards Yolanda's direction.
Phoebe also buried her head and pretended to look at the photos on her phone, "No way, it wasn't because he was discovered, right ? ? ?"
Yolanda wasn't sure, but she wasn't nervous, said, "So what if we found out, can't we come here for dinner?"
Phoebe thought that's right.
So she sat up straight again. They thought that James would stop when he walked in front of them. But he didn't notice them at all, and walked straight to the position behind them."
Yolanda turned around curiously with his step, and wondered, "Who is he going to find?"
-
On every New Year's Eve, Aaron always spent time with a group of friends at Bruce's hotel.
Tonight was no exception, Bruce was the same as that in the past, reserving the largest table in the restaurant on the top floor for them.
When Aaron went to the restaurant, a few friends he often played with had already arrived.
His suit was open and he looked uninhibited. As soon as he sat down, Bruce asked,
"You said you had a partner? why are you here alone."
Someone handed Aaron a cigarette, he took it and replied in a flat tone, "She can't come because something happens."
Bruce said meaningfully, "No wonder you arrived so late, and don't seem to be happy."
"Me?" Aaron snorted and filled the glass with wine," Which of your eyes sees that I'm not happy because she won't come."
"Both eyes saw it."
"...Get out."
Bruce smiled, suddenly nodded to a man not far away, got up and said, "Mr. Ford is over there, I'll go over to say hello."
Aaron was a little upset. He checked his phone several times, but he didn't see any new messages.
A friend next to him joked, "You're not in the mood today, you look like you're lost your soul."
"I heard that you recently adopted a sister? What's the matter, when did you start to like taboo love?"
Aaron didn't bother to pay attention to all kinds of curious questions around him. He just drank wine alone.
After a few minutes, Bruce came back after saying hello and leaned beside him and said softly, "To be honest, Why your sister can't come?"
Aaron said in his low voice, "Who knows what is wrong with her. Go to do skin care on New Year's Eve."
Bruce smiled suddenly, "Is it for skin care, or secretly falling in love, don't you know?"
?
Aaron frowned, just about to ask him what he meant, but he seemed to understand in an instant.
Bruce pointed to the front with his chin, "In the seven o'clock, is it she?"
Aaron immediately looked over.
Although she was dressed in strange clothes and had strange braids, Aaron could see at a glance that it was Yolanda.
Beside her was a short man.
He saw they mumbling and he couldn't hear what they said.
Aaron's face suddenly sank, and he didn't say anything, he called her directly.
Who would have guessed that just after dialing two seconds, Yolanda would hang up.
Then she sent a message saying that she was doing skin care and was inconvenient to answer.
She lies blatantly.
Bruce couldn't help laughing when he saw this funny text message, "It seems that the good sister is rebellious, you should reflect on yourself, whether you care too little about her."
Aaron' face was dark showing angry.
He treat her almost as a god, how could he do better?
At this time, others found Aaron's bad state, and they all looked at them as Aaron did.
The two are taking selfies now.
The little handsome "boy" even held hands on Yolanda's shoulders.
Put his arms around her.
They even did a mouth-to-mouth kiss.
Aaron's knuckles turning white while holding the wine glass, he didn't speak for a long time, the look in his eyes already explained everything.
Bruce also saw that it seemed to be a little serious,
"...How about I go and call her over?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly stood in front of them.
"Hello, Mr. Jensen. What a lucky that I met you here. I would like to offer you a toast. Happy New Year's Eve."
James held the wine respectfully, was unaware that his appearance completely blocked Aaron's sight.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Aaron didn't respond to James at all, but slowly reached out and pushed him to the side.
The scene of Yolanda and the little handsome "boy" reappeared in the field of vision.
But the difference is that at this moment, the two of them turned their heads for some unknown reason, and they met Aaron's eyes perfectly and accurately, even they werre separated by a few tables of guests.
Yolanda was overwhelmed.
Phoebe was overwhelmed, too.
The two were shocked.
However, at this thrilling moment, Aaron didn't have the anger she imagined. He calmly took a sip from the wine glass in front of him, and withdrew his gaze while swiping Yolanda from the corner of his eye, leaving a specious look in his eyes.
As if to say--
"Are you coming by yourself or should I come over?"
