Chapter 530 Take A Liking


    He detests women? But when I took the same elevator with Bruce just now, he didn''t show any


    aversion toward me.


    At that thought, Genevieve asked, “Why does he dislike women?”


    “In the past, when he was filming a historical movie, he fell in love with one of the actresses and began


    to date her in private. But she turns out to be an unfaithful girlfriend.”


    A hint of sympathy could be detected in the secretary''s voice as she continued, “He caught her


    cheating on him red-handed. Yet, she used him of being an abuser and a drug addict and sued him.


    As she had her backer''s help, Bruce lost the case and was detained for two weeks. During those years,


    Bruce suffered a lot. Due to his domestic violence history, he was unable to receive any good job


    offers. Later, when he starts to get roles again, he offers to receive lower pay so that he doesn''t have to


    appear in all the intimate scenes himself. Now, he even refuses to hold the actresses'' hands during


    filming.”


    Poor thing. To be sued by his cheating girlfriend and his career going down the drain. It''s no wonder


    that he hates women. But when I teased him in the elevator just now, he even asked me if I wanted to


    touch his abs. It doesn''t look like he hates women.


    Seeing that Genevieve was silent the whole time, her secretary continued, “I guess Mr. Dixon must still


    be berating Bruce. Ms. Rachford, would you want to go over and take a look?”


    “That won''t be necessary.”


    With a wave of her hand, Genevieve dismissed her secretary.


    She was just about to peruse the documents when she thought of the secretary''s words. Curiosity got


    the better of her, and she could not help but search for news of Bruce on the inte.


    It was worse than what her secretary had told her.


    After Bruce lost his case, his previous agency cklisted him. When he asionally went out to buy


    things and was spotted by fans of his ex-girlfriend, they would deliberately bump into him, then take


    videos to use him of hitting them.


    There were times when he asked for work from thepany, and he would be given the terrible role of


    an abusive man or a drug addict.


    Bruce''s father worked as a professor at a university. Some of the extreme fans of his ex-girlfriend went


    there and looked for his father, saying that his son was an abusive man. They even went as far as


    asking if the genes of domestic violence run in the family and if he hit his wife as well. Things got so


    bad that the university had to dismiss Bruce''s father.


    Bruce''s mother owned a music school and would teach children music every week. However, she sold


    the business because of Bruce''s scandal.


    Genevieve knew that some of the fans of artists were very extreme.


    However, she did not expect the fans of Bruce''s ex-girlfriends to be so horrid. They seemed to go all

    out to get him.


    Genevieve then began searching for Bruce''s Wikipedia page and felt that there should still be many


    fans who supported him.


    That was because there were no records of him abusing his ex-girlfriend and losing the case on


    Wikipedia.


    While making a call using thendline, she scanned through Bruce''s biodata. The numbers she saw


    befuddled her.


    Why is his height listed as one hundred and eighty-three centimeters?


    When she checked out Bruce in the elevator earlier, she felt that the man was at least one hundred and


    eighty-eight centimeters tall.


    That was because Steven was around a hundred and eighty-seven centimeters in height. It was not


    hard for her to tell the difference.


    Just as she was pondering about it, the phone was answered.


    “Ms. Rachford, is there anything I can help you with?”


    Hearing the annoyance in James'' tone, Genevieve reckoned that he was still arguing with Bruce. “Ask


    the director if he can reduce the intimate scenes for Bruce or allow the use of a substitute,” she said.


    That order took him by surprise, and he was unable to react promptly.


    Genevieve had always been dealing with external affairs. Matters regarding the artists were handled by


    him and the others.


    Thus, he did not expect Genevieve to call him and speak up for Bruce.


    Before James could respond, Genevieve continued, “If the director doesn''t agree, then rmend


    other male artists from ourpany.”


    “All right,” he answered and hung up the phone in a daze.


    James looked at Bruce, who was sitting across from him, and said with frustration, “Ms. Rachford just


    called me through thendline, and she spoke up for you. Go back first. Let me liaise with the director


    and see how we can sort this out.”


    When Bruce heard that, his eyes narrowed. Very soon, he got up from the chair swiftly. “Sure. I''ll make


    a move first.”


    Joash followed him out of the office.


    With a look of horror on his face, he voiced, “I heard that Ms. Rachford never gets involved with the


    artists'' matters. It has always been Mr. Dixon''s area. Why did Ms. Rachford phone Mr. Dixon and speak


    up for you? What should we do if she has truly taken a liking to you?”
