Chapter 180


    "The things in your store are too expensive," Chuck said.


    Lara replied, "What do you mean? Everything is affordable, alright?"


    She gave him a cold stare and said in a low voice, "Since I still owe you money, you can drink as


    much as you want. I won''t charge you anything. It''s all free."


    Lara just started her business, and Chuck didn''t want to take advantage of availing free things. He


    had to pay her if he wanted to eat or drink in her store.


    "Thanks for the offer, but that''s not necessary." Chuck shook his head and just turned to watch the


    filming crew prepare to shoot the movie.


    "I''ll get you a ss now. You can take and enjoy your drink in the office," Lara muttered.


    "There''s no need for that." Chuck insisted.


    Lara grumbled, "I sent you a message yesterday. Why didn''t you reply to me?"


    Lara wanted Chuck to find herst night so they could talk. After all, she was sure of her feelings


    toward Chuck. Previously, when she was chatting to Baller, she was sure that the person was


    definitely Chuck.


    She had discovered in time that he was not a loser but a nouveau riche guy. She grappled with this


    discovery for a long while but still felt her lingering emotions for Chuck.


    "Don''t text me if you have nothing important to say," Chuck stated.


    He left after having enough of their short chitchat. This woman had character, but she was a little


    mean.


    "Hey, wait up." Lara felt her heart sank. Saddened to hear him say that, she caught up with him,


    "Chuck, don''t do this. I didn''t do anything wrong to you."


    In truth, she herself doubted what she said. She probably did something wrong though, likest time


    at Teacher Jordan''s office......


    "Eh, is there a film crew here? Is an actoring here to film something?" Lara was surprised to


    see some pieces of shooting equipment. It appeared like somebody was filming here.


    Chuck snubbed her, but people nearby came to snap photos and posted the images on social


    media. Such a method appeared beneficial in attracting customers.


    "Chuck, your girlfriend, Ynda, is the manager. You must have an idea about what''s going on."


    Lara looked forward to seeing the celebrities, "Which famous personality ising over?"

    "I don''t know," Chuck said.


    Lara murmured, "Don''t be so wry to me. Do you hate me that much?" Chuck''s attitude disheartened


    her.


    Lara contemted how Chuck could treat her like this. She suspected he must have kept her naked


    photos on his cellphone and checked it out every night, seeing how her own figure was pretty


    amazing.


    Chuck nced at her without saying a word. He didn''t hate her, he just didn''t want to talk to her.


    Lara offered, "I''ll make you some milk tea, and we''ll watch the film shooting together."


    "Just go work." Chuck urged. He didn''t really enjoy her presence here.


    "My business is doing good, so I don''t have to supervise the ce since I''ve already hired people to


    do it for me. Anyways, do you think the za owner invited the crew to shoot here?" Lara walked


    beside Chuck and asked out of curiosity.


    The za had the potential for improvement, but inviting the crew over for film-making was not


    enough. She thought that the owner must have given the productionpany a meager price or


    perhaps even offered it for free.


    Chuck grumbled, "Well, don''t ask me."


    Lara pouted at his answer, "Let me ask you, who is wealthier between you and the za owner?"


    Chuck stayed silent since he was the one who owned the za. There wasn''t any point of


    answering her.


    "I guess the owner must be more affluent, but you are pretty wealthy yourself," Lara asserted. The


    owner should have several hundred million dors, and Chuck couldn''t have that much money.


    With no response from Chuck, she was desperate, "Can you say something?"


    Chuck had already walked to the ss railings. He looked down and caught sight of Director


    Yannic. The shooting was supposed to start today. Lara was astonished to see Zabrina Yalden. She


    eximed, "Zabrina is here. Oh my God!"


    She was so thrilled that Zabrina was here. She never expected such a well-known star toe to


    the za for a movie.


    Chuck was rendered speechless. It made him curious, why were women so desperate after


    celebrities?


    "Chuck, let''s ask for her signature." Lara looked forward to meeting her up close and personal.


    "Go by yourself." Chuck was not used to celebrities. He had no reason to get her signature


    anyways. If he really wanted it, he could just easily approach her instead of trailing behind her like a


    creepy stalker.


    Lara bit her lip and left with a heavy expression. Just then, she thought of something and came


    back, "Chuck, do you still have my photos?"


    "What are you talking about?" Chuck was getting a bit impatient.


    "Nothing. I just wanted to say that if you keep it private, you can save it for as long as you want. I


    won''t mind."


    Lara made sure to say it softly, and Chuck was rendered speechless.


    "Director, why did you choose this location?" Zabrina wondered. There was nothing special about


    this za except that it looked new. Perhaps the backdrop suited one of the scenes in the movie.


    "The investor requested us toe." Director Yannic replied.


    "Mr. Cannon?" Zabrina was confused. Were Chuck acquaintances with the owner of the za?


    Maybe that was why he had theme here for a few scenes.


    "That''s right," Director Yannic said.


    When Zabrina was taken aback, someone came over and said a few words to the staff before


    walking over to her. It was Wilbur Wendel.


    "You are?" Zabrina questioned.


    "Um." Wilbur was mesmerized by Zabrina''s beauty. She was much more beautiful in the flesh


    compared to her beauty on TV. She was graceful and wless, her skin milky white like porcin.


    She was like a goddess, and Wilbur was not disappointed at all. Most celebrities looked pretty


    because of makeup, but Zabrina was naturally beautiful. She looked attractive, especially her figure.


    "Hi. I am Wilbur Wendel. Do you think this venue is okay?" Wilbur asked.


    His words startled Zabrina. Could this person be the za''s owner? She didn''t expect him to be so


    young and promising.


    Zabrina greeted him, "Hello there. It''s pretty good, the za is quite big. Sorry, I have to get ready


    now. We''ll start shooting in a while."


    "Alright." Satisfied, Wilbur looked at Zabrina as she walked to the van. More people had gathered


    around the ce, which would definitely develop into arge crowd. Wilbur regretted that the za


    no longer belonged to his father. How wonderful it would be if it was still theirs!


    The shooting soon began. Chuck kept on monitoring the whole shooting process no matter how


    boring it was. Zabrina was indeed professional since she could shoot perfectly with her co-star even


    with spectators watching her. At times, Chuck felt likeughing upon seeing Wilbur staring at


    Zabrina intently. By noontime, Wilbur ordered a delicious meal for Zabrina, who did not refuse his


    offer since she thought he was a friend of Mr. Cannon, the investor.


    Chuck was soon bored and decided to leave to pick his car up at the BMW store. However, before


    he could leave, he saw a woman approaching Wilbur and realized it was Yvette!


    Chuck wondered. Why would Yvette make an effort to find Wilbur? Could it be...


    ......


    Yvette began, "Excuse me. I just want to ask..."


    She didn''t really know what to say. She felt strange watching Wilbur wait for Chuck at the door just


    now. After seeing him hang beside Zabrina, her interest grew. After much thought, she got


    convinced that Wilbur was not a crew member. From what she knew, the only person who could get


    close to Zabrina would be the za''s owner.


    She came over to get information about the Baller from Wilbur. After all, she was slightly anxious


    that he did not want to ept her money.


    "Beauty, what''s the matter?" Wilbur asked in surprise. He remembered Yvette was with Chuck on


    the elevator this morning, so she was probably an acquaintance of Chuck''s. He wondered why she


    was here.


    Yvette asked, "May I know if you own this za?"


    Wilbur wanted to say no, but when he saw Zabrina staring at him, he nodded. "Yes, I own the entire


    ce. What can I do for you?"


    Yvette heaved a sigh of relief to know he was the owner. If that was the case, he must know the


    Baller''s identity. Otherwise, how could he help her renew her contract?


    Yvette asked expectantly, "I own a store on the fifth floor. I would like to know if you have a friend on


    WeChat named ''Baller''."


    "Baller?" Wilbur shook his head. He didn''t get to add Chuck''s WeChat ount.


    "No?" Yvette was silent and mulled over how it was possible.


    "Well, beauty, why do you ask?" Wilbur asked.


    "This person helped me renew my contract," Yvette replied.


    Wilbur showed a puzzled expression. Renew her contract? He had never heard of it, but it was


    likely that she was talking about Chuck. It was possible, but did Chuck not tell her that he was the


    true za owner?


    Wilbur justughed and shrugged, "I don''t know. You must have asked the wrong person."


    Yvette was baffled. Why wasn''t Wilbur informed of it? It was impossible since he could only help her


    renew the contract after Baller told him. Could it be that he''s the Baller?
