Chapter 409
The elevator doors opened with a ding. Faye stood inside the elevator with her hair dripping wet. She
only realized that her hairdryer had broken after she washed her hair, so she was rushing downstairs to
ask the reception for a new one.
Much to her surprise, she witnessed Michael cing a container of soup on the lid of a bin the moment
the elevator doors opened. It seemed like he was about to discard it.
Faye’s eyes lit up when she saw the soup; she hadn’t had a good meal since she touched down in
Africa, and the town they were in had no restaurants with cuisine from her home country.
It was impossible for her to get a taste of home, and it wasn’t like the production team could bring a chef
over. After eating over half a month’s worth of pf and McDonald’s, they were close to being sick from
the food.
When she saw Michael entering the elevator after discarding the soup which he didn’t seem to want,
she swallowed. “Mr. Murray, you’ve left your soup behind,” she said.
Michael had already entered the elevator by then. As he selected his floor, he said, “You can have it. Eat
it while it’s still hot. It’s chicken soup.”
He’s giving it to me?
Faye was ecstatic. Taylor actually gave her some soup! Wait a minute, this wasn’t just a container of
soup—she could leverage this to create some huge news!
This container of soup had been given to her by the Adonis known as Taylor!
Faye had been constantly trying to get a chance to get into a scandal with either Taylor or Harry during
their filming here, but both men and the director stayed on the VIP floor of the hotel; one would need a
key card to enter. She couldn’t get ess with her status as an extra, so she never got the chance to stir
up trouble. This container of soup was practically an opportunity that had fallen from the heavens!
Faye brought the soup back to her room; an aromatic scent wafted from the container when she opened
it. Indeed, the container was filled with delicious-smelling chicken soup. She was so hungry that she was
drooling, but she still tamped down on that voracious desire of hers.
She quickly blow-dried her hair and carefully put her makeup on before taking a nice selfie of herself
while holding the container of soup, making sure that her face and the soup were clearly shown in the
photo.
She then used a photo editing app to airbrush her blemishes and edited the photo. After half an hour of
editing, she even managed to nearly remove all traces of texture on the chunks of chicken floating in the
soup. With that, she uploaded the heavily-edited photo onto her Twitter and Instagram stories.
As she sipped on the soup, she typed out a caption.
‘Thank you so much for the chicken soup, Taylor. Everyone, please take good care of yourself while
filming! Sending hearts to you guys!’
She then tagged every major ount that was rted to the ‘War Dragon’ movie, including but not
limited to Taylor’s official ount, Harry’s, the official ount for ‘War Dragon’ promotions, Nicole’s,
Richard’s, and the official fanclub ount for Taylor.
She wished for nothing more than to let the world know that Taylor had given her some soup; she wanted
to shock all the staff and actors in the production team as well!
That night, the entire ‘War Dragon’ production team in Africa, as well as the Harpers, Edwards, and
Taylor’s fans found out that Taylor had somehow given a young, untrained model some soup.
Was there a mistake? Did this iconic man have a stroke or something?!
When Faye woke up the next day, she saw that she had made the headlines. As expected, getting on
the front pages was a matter of time by tying herself to a handsome, acimed man.
Taylor’s fans were frothing. Why did their idol give some soup to a young bimbo in the middle of the
night?!
Due to the time difference between Africa and their home country, the photo seemed suggestive since it
was posted at night. However, it was daytime in their home country, so it kept getting onto the trending
searches.
Michael had been so busy shooting his parts that he didn’t notice Faye leeching off him for fame. The
production team was on full throttle; even their bathroom breaks were timed down to the second as they
squeezed every bit of time they could to rush through filming so that they could fly home earlier. He really
couldn’t afford to be distracted.
Back home at the militarypound, Sophia was in her ward watching yet another one of Nicole’s
countryside shows, ‘Temptations Of Home’. It was a show about a vige woman’s tragic life. The only
brother of the female protagonist, Jane Miller, was about to marry Martha Bellstone from the same
vige.
However, the dowry that the Bellstones had asked for was too high and the Millers couldn’t afford it, so
they ‘handed over’ Jane to the Bellstones’ good-for-nothing of a bachelor son, Jake Bellstone. She was
to be his wife in ‘exchange’ for Martha.
However, Jane was secretly in love with the son of the vige scribe, John Richter, and she was forced
to leave her crush to marry Jake.
Sophia had watched until the part where Jane and John were tearily breaking up before Jane’s arranged
marriage. Sophia cried until snot was running freely from her nose while watching this particr scene,
and the bin next to her was piled high with tissues.
“Oh, why is this so tragic…” Sophia sobbed as she watched the show.
Nathan had a look of horror on his face as he looked at the screen; Stanley, a look of disgust; Sean, a
twisted expression on his face.
Sophia had messaged Stanley and Sean out of the blue, inviting them over to watch a movie together.
Initially thinking that Sophia had gotten her hands on some unreleased movie of Michael’s, they joyously
trotted over. To their shock, they saw the words ‘Temptations of Home’ on the screen the moment they
sat down.
Stanley could already guess what kind of life his uncle was living at home.
They finally finished suffering through the teary breakup scene. Sophia had finished crying her heart out
and took a few sips of water in preparation for the next episode. Stanley was about to take Sean and
escape under the pretense of a toilet break, but Sean unexpectedly said, “Look, Sophia. Uncle Michael
made it to the front pages.”
My Lord has made it to the headlines?
All Sophia cared about that day was watching ‘Temptations of Home’, so she hadn’t been reading or
watching the news. She hastily unlocked her phone and logged into Twitter to see the term ‘Taylor Faye’
trending.
What? Did Michael really give Faye some soup, not to mentionte at night? He had been perfectly fine
up until now, so why did he give her the soup? With so many others in the production team, why her
specifically?
Faye’s Twitter post had immediately gotten her onto Twitter’stest trends. She was one of the
entertainers that Glory Entertainment had wanted to promote, and the Edwards also held shares in Glory
Entertainment. The moment this got out, Glory Entertainment’s PR machine began to furiously milk
Taylor’s name and published articles like no tomorrow.
One article stated that the two of them were dating each other, while another imed that someone had
witnessed Faye entering Taylor’s room; another report said that the two were spotted holding hands all
the time. There was even an article saying that Taylor had a change of heart with his marriage and had
already been living apart from his original spouse for a while.
What sort of bullsh*t was this?!
Sophia blew her top. While she didn’t believe that those two were together or that Faye had gone to
Taylor’s room, Michael had to exin himself when it came to the soup.
She didn’t bother with her show anymore, instead spending the entire afternoon staring at her phone and
waiting for Michael to call her and exin!
The atmosphere was unusually tense. Stanley suddenly felt a bone-deep chill hit him, making his entire
body tremble from the cold; he was so fearful that he couldn’t stop trembling. Regardless, he still stood
on his uncle’s side and said, “Sophia, there’s a time difference. It’s still night for him now! Uncle’s got to
be asleep!”
Sophia continued to stare at her phone.
“Uh, why don’t we watch another two episodes of ‘Temptations of Home’?” Stanley asked weakly.
Sophia didn’t speak as she stared at her phone.
After staring at her phone the entire afternoon, Michael still hadn’t called her to exin himself. By the
time night came, rumors and gossip were flying everywhere. Faye and Taylor’s supposed affair had
rooted itself in reality to the point that some people had ‘personally’ witnessed them register for marriage
at the local bureau.
No one, not even Michael, his entertainmentpany, or the production team had stepped up to rify
things!
