Chapter 136


    Chapter 136 I Came for You


    Two dayster, on the day when Erin officially signed the contract and started filming on the set, was


    also the time when na arrived at the set for filming. Chandler didn’t apany her when she joined


    the set. Erin felt a faint sense of disappointment upon knowing this.


    He said he woulde to see her soon, but unfortunately, he didn’t. The man she liked didn’te,


    but her best friend, Holly, dropped by


    to visit.


    As the crew members led Holly into the filming hall, Erin happily stood up and rushed toward her. She


    hurriedly left her lunchbox aside and hugged Holly.


    Not far away, ire, who was lying on a recliner wearing sunsses, sneered and wordlessly mocked


    the cheap friendship between Erin and Holly. They seemed to have a deep sisterly bond now, but when


    they encountered rtionship issues that involved men, they would surely argue more than anyone


    else!


    It was lunch break now, and due to the hot weather, the director allowed the actors to have an hour of


    free time. Megan had already returned to the set and was in her exclusive dressing room. Liliana stood


    by her side and took out two limited–edition Hermès handbags from a branded shopping bag.


    She happily said, “Megan, Percival asked me to pass this on to you.”


    Megan nced at it casually and said, “Put them away for me. Don’t receive gifts from him anymore.”


    “What? Why? Percival is generous and handsome-”


    Before Liliana could finish speaking. Megan interrupted her. “Liliana, you’re young and there are some


    things you don’t understand. Since you’ve been with me for five years, I’ll tell you the truth. Men like


    Percival are not worth keeping around. It’s fine to have fun with them, but if you want to get married,


    these idle rich heirs aren’t good choices as they don’t have any advantage over other more sessful


    men. Besides, how can he, an actor who is on the second or third tier, be on par with me?”


    Liliana nodded. “You’re right, Megan. I’m poor and nearsighted, so I value immediate benefits too


    much-”


    It was obvious that Liliana liked the two Hermès handbags in her hands very much and couldn’t stop


    staring at them. Megan noticed and generously said, “Alright, I’ll give you these two bags. But don’t let


    Percival see you carrying them. After all, I’m passing the things he gave me to you. As a man, his ego


    might not be able to take it.”


    Feeling overjoyed, Liliana thanked Megan profusely. Buying various luxury brand bags was her only


    hobby, and she used all her money to buy bags!


    “Don’t worry, Megan. From now on, Erin is my enemy. I will find an opportunity to deal with her for you!”


    Liliana understood the price of enjoying others‘ generosity in this industry.


    A hint of hatred shed across Megan’s eyes. Thinking of Erin Infuriated her, but afterposing


    herself over the past few days and considering that Simon had unterally given her a million dors as


    their breakup fee, she temporarily let go of the grudge. After all, both she and Simon knew it very well–


    she was the one who cheated. It was very kind of Simon to offer her one million aspensation


    afterward.


    Megan knew when to stop and not go overboard. After all, it wouldn’t benefit her if this were to be


    published by the major news outlets. Fortunately, they hadn’t made their rtionship public initially, so


    only a few people in the industry knew about their breakup.


    Moreover, before Megan returned to the set, the director had ordered the staff not to spread rumors


    anymore. Whether other actors discussed it privately was a matter of their personal integrity.


    Seeing Liliana’s loyalty, Megan revealed a gratified smile. “Liliana, there’s something I need you to do.


    Get in touch with a woman named May in the group of extras. She is Erin’s cousin. Tell her that if she is


    willing to join me, I can request the director to let her y the role of my handmaiden; it would give her


    more opportunities to appear on the screen.”


    “Okay, Megan. Consider it done!”


    Inside the hall, Erin had already left with Holly. They walked into a bamboo grove behind the hall. It was


    peaceful and pleasant here–a perfect ce for chatting. There were still more than forty minutes before


    filming, so they began discussing recent events.


    Holly sighed and expressed her admiration for how quickly Erin became an actress.


    “Erin, when you be famous, I’ll cling to you! I’ll be your manager, and we’ll fly around the world!”


    Holly smiled. Bing an actor or a star wasn’t her goal so she genuinely wished Erin well without


    envy or jealousy.


    Deep down in her heart, she even hoped that Erin would be wealthier. This was so that their


    financial difference wouldn’t be too significant in the future. They wouldn’t have to worry about who paid


    for their outings anymore in that case. Many times, Holly worried about Erin’s pride when it came to


    spending money. Over time, it was actually quite exhausting.


    *Thank you for your tolerance and help all this time, Holly!” Erin suddenly felt sentimental. Now she


    was considered a neer in the entertainment industry, and apart from Roman, she didn’t have any


    friends in the industry. 1


    Besides Holly, Erin didn’t really have any true friends. From her childhood to adulthood, whether it was


    ssmates, roommates, female colleagues, and so on, they always couldn’t get along with Erin in the


    end due to a myriad of reasons.


    Most of the time, their biggest conflict would stem from the fact that they couldn’t wholeheartedly


    ept Erin’s outstanding appearance. excellent grades, and independent nature. Having a wealthy


    father and marrying her first love who seemed to hold great promise made others jealous of her as her


    fortune reminded them of what they were losing out on.


    Over time, Erin gradually became ustomed to not having many friends. Thus, when she saw Holly


    taking out a set of professional hypoallergenic makeup removal and skin care products that were worth


    about a hundred thousand, tears welled up in her eyes


    uncontrobly.


    “Erin, you celebrated your birthday in the hospital this year, and I didn’t get you a gift. Now that you’re


    an actress, you must ept this set. of skin care. In about a month, the weather will gradually cool


    down, and you’ll have to wear makeup for extended periods of time during filming. You must use a


    good makeup remover,” Holly insisted. Her expression was resolute, showing no room for refusal as


    she stuffed


    the items into Erin’s hands.


    Tears slid from the corner of Erin’s eyes. As she was about to say something, Holly quickly spoke up,


    “If you don’t ept this, then we’re


    not friends anymore!”


    Looking at Holly’s yful expression, Erin wiped away her tears and said. “Then you’d better pray I


    be famous. At least when I have money in the future, I can buy you better gifts-”


    “I can’t wait for you to be famous! When that happens, you can take me everywhere with you-”


    Holly’s silly expression froze


    suddenly.


    Following Holly’s strange expression, Erin turned her head and saw Simon striding toward them,


    wearing a white shirt and fitted ck


    trousers.


    “Erin, is he here to see you?” Holly gave Erin a sideways nce with aplicated look in her eyes.


    “No!” Erin instinctively denied it, fearing that Holly would misunderstand her rtionship with Simon.


    Thinking of Simon’s behavior at the loft and therge diamond ring she kept in the hotel room safe, Erin


    felt inexplicably guilty that she had something to hide. Even when facing Megan, she wasn’t as nervous


    as she was now.


    Holly naturally noticed Erin’s unusual behavior but didn’t have time to ask because Simon had already


    reached them. His hairstyle was slightly different that day, and it made him look cooler and more alert


    in a way.


    His exquisitely handsome face bore a striking resemnce to Chandler’s, but their temperaments were


    entirely different.


    Chandler exuded an overwhelming, domineering, and icy bearing, while Simon gave off a distant and


    indifferent kind of vibe as if he was close at hand yet far away. People like these were the most


    unpredictable, as they seemed polite and courteous, but in reality, they had no


    sincere feelings for anyone.


    Unexpectedly running into Simon here, Holly stared at him longingly. No matter how many times she


    asked him out, Simon never showed


    up.


    Since their meal together at the Grand Oyster Restaurant, she hadn’t seen him again. His prolonged


    absence made Holly doubt whether


    she really had that meal with him back then.

    Holly’s unconcealed infatuation was all visible to Simon. With a smirk that wasn’t out of ce, he


    asked, “Did you alsoe to visit, Miss


    Green?”


    That one sentence revealed the reason for his presence there.


    In a hurry to exin, Erin said, “Mr. Frost, you’vee for Ms. Zeigler, haven’t you? She’s-”


    “I came for you.” Simon said seriously, looking straight at her.
