Chapter 156 Leaving the Set
Just when Erin finished shooting the last scene at 8 pm, Holly called her to say goodbye. She was going abroad with her parents as her uncle who lived there had cancer and was already approaching the linal days of his life.
Erin sent her regards and extended her sympathy over the phone. After they shared a brief conversation, Holly rushed to the airport in Fleuverton with her luggage.
This made Erin feel a little sorrowful for some reason. She thought of how Chandler’s grandfather was also running out of time, and she even started to worry if he could watch his great–grandchild come into this world while he was still alive.
While Erin was removing her makeup in the dressing room on set, Chandler was waiting for a person at an upscale private club in
Fleuverton.
Ten minutes later, the person arrived.
Simon entered the private room Chandler was in, dressed in casual clothes.
The style of the furnishings in the private room was minimalistic and clean. The cool tones of the couch and coffee table were what men would like at a glance. This private room was dedicated to letting guests have a discussion or chat.
To put it more precisely, it was for them to smoke a cigar and taste some wine.
Chandler was already smoking a cigar. Looking thoughtfully at Simon, he said, “You’re here. Have a seat.”
“Chandler, what is it that you can’t tell me over the phone that you have to do it in person?” Simon already sat down across from Chandler, looking relaxed.
He started the conversation very directly, making it much smoother for Chandler to proceed with what he was about to say..
“Simon, there are some things I must tell you earlier. Otherwise. I’m afraid you’ll waste even more of your time.” Chandler took a puff of his cigar before he grabbed the Armani bag near him and took out an envelope from it.
Simon had been paying attention to his every move, so it was only natural that his gaze landed on the envelope.
Chandler slid the envelope across the coffee table to Simon.
“I already know about your business. As a man, I understand you very well for having such a condition, but Erin can’t be your cure. Because she’s mine.” Chandler’s tone did not sound like he was warning Simon, but it made him feel suffocatingly pressured and slightly
threatened.
Simon immediately got a little paler when he heard his words. His gaze turned cold, and he asked directly. “Was Luther the one who told
you?”
Chandler’s gaze was fixed on him. “Why don’t you first take a look at the photos in the envelope?”
After he reminded him, Simon immediately looked at the envelope once again. He frowned a little as he picked it up. then hesitated for two
seconds before opening it up in the end.
The photos were taken right at the moment he sneaked in and out of Erin’s hotel room back then.
Simon slammed the photos down on the coffee table, looking slightly angry. “You Investigated me?”
Chandler leaned forward a little and said matter–of–factly. “It’s my obligation to protect my woman. As your cousin, I can forgive your
actions that have gone out of line this time, but there absolutely won’t be a next time!”
After Chandler said that Erin was his once again, it was impossible for Simon to pretend that he did not hear it. Curling his lips slightly, he said, “Chandler, don’t forget you’ve agreed to Grandpa’s request. You’ve never gone back on your word in front of Grandpa before. Are you really going to break your principles for Erin?”
Simon’s words quietly pierced Chandler’s heart, but he remained unfazed and said calmly. “I won’t break the promise I’ve made to Grandpa. You don’t have to worry about that. If Luther can’t cure you, I suggest that you go to a different psychologist. If you need it, I can introduce one to you.” Chandler did not look like he was mocking him at all. He looked like this was all just business.
Simon’s embarrassing secret had been found out by his cousin, so it was only natural that he looked upsel.
Bunching the photos up into a ball in his palms, Simon looked Chandler in the eye as he stood up and said, “I wanted to pay her to help
1/3
treat my condition for me back then. She was surprisingly quite unyielding. Not only was she not willing to accept, but she even hurled curses at me. I finally understand it now. It seems that she was already kissing your ass. Do you actually want such a woman like Erin? Chandler, how basic can your taste be?”
Upon saying that. Simon left the room with an arrogant look on his face.
At that moment, out came a man from behind the partition with abstract designs in the near distance–it was Kyle.
He walked up to Chandler and said, “Do we need to continue having someone follow Simon, sir?”
Chandler fell silent for a few seconds before he looked up at Kyle. “No need. I’ve already shown my hand to him just now. With Simon’s temper, he absolutely won’t go looking for Erin again. You can arrange to let him meet a few women on different occasions. Once his condition is cured, he won’t think about Erin anymore.”
“Yes, sir.”
Chandler asked. “Did my father find out that Vanda was cheating on him?”
Kyle replied. “Yes. Mr. Frost has been busy dealing with the matter the past two days. According to the informant, he’s already looking for a lawyer in secret. He might divorce Vanda Hill,”
“Fantastic. Let him be busy dealing with his own marriage.” Chandler placed his unfinished cigar on the glass ashtray, then he continued,” What’s the progress on the papers for Erin to go abroad?”
“We’ll get all the necessary documents at 10 am tomorrow.” Kyle was certain.
Chandler stood up and buttoned his jacket with one hand, then he glanced at Kyle. “Tell the director to finish shooting Erin’s parts as fast
as possible.”
Kyle nodded and said, “Don’t worry, sir! Everything has been arranged.”
Erin’s time in Fleuverton flew by in a blink of an eye. Three weeks had gone by unnoticed.
Erin was the first to wrap up all of her scenes in the movie titled Fox.
She was leaving the set that day, and she would be traveling abroad with Chandler for some time very soon.
Chandelier told her that ever since they had to return from their first trip together abruptly back then because Claire cut her wrist to end
her life, he had been wanting to get a chance to make it up to her.
It so happened that Erin had wrapped her shoot, so she also wanted to take some time to get proper rest.
She had a farewell dinner with the key figures of the crew that night.
Of course, Roman was the one who was most reluctant to see her leave. All the wild fantasies he once had were completely dismissed after Erin said she wanted to have a child with Chandler.
When Erin walked out of the private room at the hotel to bid everybody farewell, Roman’s gaze kept following her.
In the end, he still came running out of the room.
“Erin, let me see you off.” Roman glanced at Jack, who was walking in front.
Erin understood his intention, so she said, “Jack, you may first head to the underground parking lot to get the car. Let’s meet at the
entrance of the hotel later.”
Jack nodded. “Alright, Ms. Lane. Call me anything if you need anything.”
*Alright.”
After Jack left, Roman said, “He’s very diligent.”
“Yes. Jack is a man of a few words, but he’s very serious and strict about work. Back then, I thought a man skilled in combat would not be so meticulous. Unexpectedly, I was the one who had underestimated him.” Erin laughed at herself a little.
Roman laughed a little too. Then, he said seriously, “Erin, are you really ready to be with Chandler? It’s not easy to be his wife. I’ve met Chandler’s father and also his grandfather. They are people who won’t change their minds easily.”
Erin did not look relaxed and was smiling with a little helplessness. “I understand what you mean, Roman. How should I put it? I’m already in love with Chandler. As long as he has the confidence to face everything, there’s no reason for me to back down! I’ll just take it that setbacks are necessary to achieve something great.”
