Chapter 293


    Rosalie was taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated Loretta being the guest for today.


    Roadshows asionally featured surprise guests to delight the audience.


    But they usually invited big names. Loretta, before bing Calvin’s girlfriend, was a rtively


    unknown actress in the entertainment industry.


    Her fame was mostly attributed to Calvin. During this period, thanks to her rtionship with him,


    Loretta gained ess to many favorable opportunities.


    However, apart from a few advertisements, her other film and music projects were still in production


    and hadn’t been officially released.


    So, in reality, Loretta didn’t have a significant body of work yet. Her presence as a guest was, simply


    put, due to her association with Calvin.


    Lillian turned to her friend, wearing a face filled with embarrassment and regret. “I’m sorry, Rosie. I


    had no idea Loretta would be the guest today.”


    If she had known, she wouldn’t have bought tickets for this roadshow.


    Rosalie smiled, “There’s no need to apologize. It’s not your fault, and besides, we’re here to see


    Dominic, not Loretta.” However, Lillian still couldn’t shake off her unease. As a result, during the


    movie screening, she seemed a bit distracted, still preupied with the fact that Loretta was the


    guest.


    When the movie ended, Lillian didn’t urge Rosalie to help her get a photo with Dominic or anything


    of the sort. Instead, she suggested, “Let’s go.”


    Surprised, Rosalie asked, “Don’t you want a photo?”


    Lillian shrugged, “Maybe some other time.”


    “It’s fine. Try this time,” Rosalie said. She knew how much her friend had hoped to get a photo or an


    autograph today, and she didn’t want her to leave disappointed just because of Loretta’s presence.


    Saying the words, Rosalie dialed Jonathan’s number. “Jon, could you help me find Dominic’s


    contact information or his manager’s? I’m with Lillian right now, and we’d like to meet Dominic for a


    quick photo. It shouldn’t take up too much of his time… Yeah, thanks. I appreciate it.”


    After ending the call, Rosalie met her friend’s expectant eyes and gave her a reassuring smile.


    “Alright, Jon said he’ll help me get in touch. He’ll have someone contact me shortly, so we just need


    to wait for a call


    Lillian was amazed. “Wow, that’s incredible!” At first, she had just thought it would be worth a try.


    She had even considered that maybe they wouldn’t be able to get close to Dominic with so many


    fans around, even if Dominic knew Rosalie. After all, there were so many fans here, the crowd of


    whom they’ve got toe through.


    She hadn’t expected it to be this simple.”


    Before long, Rosalie’s phone rang, and it was Dominic himself. After confirming their location, he


    assured them that someone woulde to escort them to the resting ce.


    “Oh


    my, I’m going to faint!” Lillian eximed once Rosalie ended the call. “Dominic called you. Does this


    mean you have his personal contact? You know, many people can’t even get his phone number!”


    Rosalie couldn’t help butugh. “Well, maybe when you meet Dominicter, you can ask him if he’d


    be willing to share his phone number with you?”


    “I’d love to, but…” Lillian hesitated for a moment, her mind shing back to Callum’s warning. She


    shuddered involuntarily and then said, “You know what, never mind.”


    Callum had been quite direct with her, saying, “You’re my girlfriend now, and if I ever find out that


    you’ve be closer to Dominic than just a regr fan and idol rtionship, I’ll make sure he’s


    cklisted in the entertainment industry. You won’t even get to see him on the screen anymore.”


    If someone else had said those words, she might have taken it as a joke, but considering Callum’s


    possessive nature, Lillian had a feeling he might actually follow through on that threat.


    So, she decided against exchanging phone numbers. Just getting a photo and an autograph, and


    maybe a few more posters, would be enough to make her happy.


    Before long, a young woman approached Rosalie and Lillian briskly. She greeted them, saying,


    “Hello, Ms. Leighton.” Rosalie recognized her as Dominic’s assistant, recalling having seen her with


    Dominic on a previous asion. “Hello, Rosalie replied.


    Please follow me, the assistant said, leading Rosalie and Lillian through a separate employee


    passage.


    What Rosalie had not expected was that after only a few steps down the employee passage, they


    ran into Loretta.


    Loretta was apanied by her manager, and they seemed engrossed in conversation.


    Rosalie briefly considered pretending not to recognize her. However, Loretta put on a smile and


    took the initial to address her, “Oh, my sister, what a surprise! What brings you here?”


    Rosalie squinted suspiciously, as Loretta usually preferred to keep their sisterhood a secret in


    public, considering Rosalie’s past incarceration potentially embarrassing.


    But now, she acted out of her character.


    The assistant guiding Rosalie wore a surprised expression, clearly not expecting Rosalie and


    Loretta to be sisters.


    “This is the employee passage, are you here… looking for Mr. Dominic Caesar?” Loretta recognized


    the assistant as the one apanying Dominic today.


    “Ms. Leighton and her friend want to take a photo with Mr. Caesar and get an autograph,” the


    assistant exined proactively.


    Given that Loretta had mentioned Dominic and they were in a part of the employee passage close


    to the entrance where many fans had gathered, the assistant wanted to avoid any


    misunderstandings that might affect Dominic’s image.


    “I see,” Loretta smiled. “If you and Lillian want to see Mr. Caesar, you should’ve just told me. I can


    take you to him. No need to trouble Mr. Caesar’s assistant.”


    As she spoke, Loretta approached Rosalie affectionately and attempted to take her hand as if she


    intended to personally escort Rosalie to Dominic’s resting ce.

    Rosalie, however, responded with a hint of coldness, saying, “Let go. I don’t care what you’re


    nning, but I don’t want to cooperate with you.”


    “Is that so?” Loretta whispered softly, in a voice only they could hear. “But you told me to let go,


    remember? Don’t regret it.” With those words, Loretta suddenly released her grip on Rosalie’s hand


    and staggered backward as if someone had forcefully pushed her.
