Chapter 122


    Chapter 122 Discover Her Affair!


    After receiving the second IV infusion, Erin finally woke up due to the urge to relieve herself. The


    moment she woke, she fell disoriented. weak in her limbs, and had a throbbing headache. Her hazy


    gazended on the man beside her, and Erin’s brain momentarily thought she was seeing things.


    Roman, dressed in his set costume, was looking at her at that moment. His voice was gentle and


    mellow as he asked, “How do you feel?”


    He’d been afraid of missing the timing for the IV drip and hadn’t dared rest his eyes for even a moment.


    Erinughed feebly. “Looks like I’m in the hospital… I’m so sorry for troubling you.”


    He replied. “Yeah, I’ve even stopped filming. If I don’t see an improvement in your condition, I’ll feel


    uneasy about going back to work. So, you have to actively ept treatment and eat well, okay?”


    Roman’s tone was rxed with a hint of yful reproach. Erin’s ears burned a little from


    embarrassment as he said that, but her eyes became moist, and they reddened after a few seconds.


    When Roman saw the tears flow from the corners of her eyes down her cheeks,


    those two glistening teardrops seared his heart.


    He pulled out two tissues from the cab and handed them to her free hand without the IV drip


    attached. “Why are you crying? You’re


    acting like a child. Do you want me to sing tofort you?”


    This made Erinugh. “I’m not a child… I’m just very louched. You, my boss, are sacrificing your


    precious filming time to apany an insignificant employee in the hospital. Are you that afraid of


    people using you of mistreating your employee?”


    Roman replied helplessly, “Yeah, I’m indeed afraid. I’m afraid of what the reporters might write.”


    Erin smiled and remained silent. She knew he understood that she was joking, and he countered her


    question with a joke of his own too.


    She wiped away her tears and said, “Roman, you should go back to the set. I’m fine, I can handle


    myself in the hospital.”


    “I’ve already said that I won’t feel at ease if you don’t recover. Don’t say anything more. Now, close


    your eyes and rest well. If you’re hungry, I’ll have Ken buy you something to eat. What do you want?”


    Erin shook her head. Even though her mind was a bit hazy due to the fever, her memory was intact.


    She instantly remembered the news of Chandler and na’s engagement. Now, in her weakened


    physical and mental state, her tears flowed uncontrobly.


    Erin closed her eyes, trying to stop herself from crying, but the tears continued to fall. Roman


    understood very well why she was crying.


    He didn’t know how tofort her. Erin had already told him that she wouldn’t be Chandler’s mistress.


    So, even if Chandler’s engagement banquet was just a formality, even if there was no real love


    between him and na, that didn’t make a difference to Erin. An engaged fiancée had a legitimate


    status all things considered, and Erin refused to be Chandler’s secret lover.


    Her love for Chandler didn’t have to be grand, but she didn’t want to stoop down to such a low level


    when it came to loving him. If she had topromise her dignity and principles to love someone, she


    would rather stay single for the rest of her life.


    In the end, Roman said, “Letting go of a rtionship that hurts you would be wiser than holding on to it.


    What’s meant for you will eventually belong to you.”


    Erin remained silent and feeling down in the dumps until she sat up straight abruptly. Roman nervously


    asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Blushing, she choked out, “I really need to use the restroom.”


    Three dayster, after recovering from her illness, Erin returned to the set.


    Roman had apanied her in the hospital for two consecutive days. He was usually dedicated to his


    work; but this time, he’d caused dys in the filming process. The director secretly expressed his


    discontent about this.


    After all it wasn’t Roman himself who was sick, nor was it his family, his wife, or his girlfriend. Erin was


    just his assistant! Roman personally apanying her got many crew members on the set talking as


    they felt that it was abnormal.


    The rumors circting in secret became more and more intense. As a result, those who wanted to


    curry favor with Roman became even more attentive to Erin. Who knew what their real rtionship was


    behind closed doors? Of course, these were all spections.


    Erin maintained her initial attitude toward gossip and rumors–by ignoring them, ying dumb, and


    pretending not to know.


    Otherwise, as Roman said, if she took it seriously and felt the need to exin herself to everyone, she


    wouldn’tst a month in this environment. Therefore, Erin hade to terms with the nature of this


    industry and decided to be less concerned in order to be happier.


    Because of Roman’s care when she was sick, Erin was even more motivated to memorize her lines


    well. Roman told her that if she could fluently recite all her lines and act alongside him, that would be


    the best reward for him. Erin worked even harder because of this.


    Now, at 3 pm, after eating an ice lolly, Erin went to the west wing of the set in the studio alone.


    Originally, that part of the studio was under renovation and not open to the public yet. As there mustn’t


    be any noise during filming, the west wing was closed off.


    However, Roman had connections and could make special arrangements. He gave Erin a key to one of


    the bedrooms in the west wing and said that if she was interested, she could go there and quietly


    practice her lines.


    With nothing better to do, Erin went.


    After opening the door of the hall she walked in and saw the luxurious bedroom that had arge soft


    bed inside. Initially, she thought. about lying down and taking a nap there, but she realized it wouldn’t


    be appropriate if someone came in and saw her. So, she chose to rest behind the folding screen and


    found a soft cushion to sit on the floor and start rehearsing her lines.


    Even though it was scorching hot outside, the spacious west wing was rtively cool since there were


    no people or filming equipment. It


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    was much cooler than Roman’s dressing room.


    Unknowingly, she’d been reading for about twenty minutes when she started to feel sleepy and dozed


    off. A dozen minutester, in a daze,


    Erin heard a conversation between a man and a woman.


    “Percival no one wille in here, right?”


    “They won’t here. See, I have the key. As long as we lock the door, no one can enter…”


    Erin opened her eyes and became more alert. She recognized the voices of the man and woman–it


    was none other than the famous


    actress Megan and the actor ying another prince, Percival Lowe.


    For a moment, she didn’t know whether to speak up and interrupt them or pretend she didn’t hear


    anything. Before she could make a


    choice, Megan and Percival were already walking briskly toward the soft bed.


    With a thud, Percival pushed Megan onto the soft bed, and soon Erin heard the rustling sound of


    clothes being taken off.


    Erin sat there in an extremely awkward and stiff position. How audacious! They actually chose this


    ce for their rendezvous. Erin raised


    an eyebrow. It was in as day to her that Megan was cheating on Simon.


    Erin couldn’t help but think of her best friend, Holly. If Simon could see Megan’s true colors, maybe he


    would break up with her, and Holly might have a chance. She picked up her phone from the ground and


    very carefully turned it on. Fortunately, she’d kept her phone on silent since joining the crew.


    Erin activated the recording function.


    Twenty minutester, the intense sounds on the soft bed ceased.


    Breathing heavily, Percival chuckled and asked, “Does Simon, that idiot, still insist on no intimacy


    before marriage?”


    “Don’t mention him to me. Just thinking about him makes me angry! I’ve tried to initiate sex three times


    in a row, but he refuses to be intimate with me! Damn it! It really hurts my esteem, you know?” Megan


    comined angrily as she dressed herself.


    “Could it be that he’s interested in men? After all, with a beauty like you, I can’t wait even a minute


    Percival’s ttering words made. Megan act coquettishly and say. “You’re so annoying! Actually, he’s


    just very conservative, I guess.”


    “Why don’t you be with me instead? Is it fun being with someone so devoid of passion? Even if you


    marry into the wealthy Frost family, so what?”


    At this point, Megan had finished tidying up herself. She stood up and answered with a sigh. “Percival,


    we agreed before that once I get engaged to Simon, we would end this rtionship. If you mention


    anything unrted to me again, we shall never see each other anymore.”
