Chapter 346 Extra Story Pursuit (Part One)
"According to credible sources, Victor is very intimate with Elliana on the filming set."
"Victor and Elliana were seen checking into the same hotel!"
"It seems that they fell in love during filming together!"
The early morning began with the news about Victor successfully occupying the major sections of the newspapers. It was even mentioned in the economic section, as he was the second-largest stakeholder of the AJ Group.
"The stock price of AJ Group dropped by a few percentage points, due to the rumors surrounding Victor and an actress."
Sitting around the breakfast table at the Kary Villa, the whole family had their heads in the newspapers.
"How handsome does Victor look!" Elissa slurred around a mouthful of milk. "Why is he holding another woman?"
"Maybe Uncle Victor likes her." Alick replied.
"She's nowhere as beautiful as Ena!" Elissa retorted, almost immediately.
William was playing with his younger daughter, his face darkening. "Whatever... I really don't care what he does. I don't have the energy to control him now."
Mary walked out of the kitchen, holding fried eggs on a plate. "You failed to control him four years ago.
remember?"
"Humph..." William curled his lips.
"This morning, I received a call from Ena. She told me that she's flying to the filming site, where Victor is." Mary let out a chuckle. "William, there's going to be a big show at your company then!" "Doesn't Ena have work? Why does she have to go to Victor's filming site?" William roared, "Why is this young woman so stubborn?"
"Waah...Waah...Waah..."
The small baby cradled in William's arms burst into tears at his loud voice.
"I'm sorry, baby. Don't cry!" He coaxed her, speaking softly.
"I'll talk to her once she comes back." Mary nodded to herself, before turning towards her children. "Alick! Elissa! Hurry up, it's time to go to school!"
The set of "My Boyfriend Is Superman" was buzzing with people.
Victor was sprawled across a deck chair, his eyes covered with a blindfold.
"Why are you acting so leisurely? Don't you care about the gossip at all?" Elliana sauntered towards him, her voice waking him up.
"Do you care?" Victor mumbled through his lips, showing no intention of moving.
"No! I don't care either," Elliana said, sitting down next to him. "I just feel regret. I was by myself last night, but the reporters made up such dramatic stories. I should have invited you into my room for real." "If you are in need of a man, I can't help you." Victor laughed heartily.
"You sure you won't change your mind?" An agent called out her name at that moment, causing her to get up. Before she could leave, she said, "I'm at your disposal. It's my scene now, and the next one will be ours together."
"Okay."
Victor fell asleep again. It wasn't long before he jerked awake from a loud and angry voice. "Victor!"
Victor sat up straight and took off his blindfold. As expected, he saw Ena standing in front of him against the light.
"Why are you here?" Victor ran his gaze around and found a horde of paparazzi approach. He immediately pulled Ena aside.
"Don't pull me!" With an annoyed look on her face, Ena shrieked, "Where were you last night?"
"I was sleeping in my room! I got up early this morning for work. Any other questions?" With his arms akimbo, Victor was fuming as he paced back and forth. "Did you come all the way here because of the news?"
"Yep." Ena nodded slowly, pulling his sleeve. She sounded nervous as she spoke, "You have nothing to do with that Elliana, right? The news is fake?"
"It's not your business whether I have something to do with her or not, Ena." With a slight frown, Victor shrugged off her hold.
"You know I like you, right? Victor?"
"I don't!" Victor said coldly.
"When we first met, you called me cute!" Ena pouted, her cheeks flushing. "Did you forget that you smiled at me then?" "Ena." Victor's tone was suddenly serious. "If you only treat me as a senior, dispelling your feelings for me, I would still smile at you!" The air stilled for a long moment.
"No! You don't mean that!" Before Ena could say more, the staff called Victor for his turn to shoot.
"Well, I'm going to work. I advise you not to stay here any longer." After saying that, Victor left without sparing a glance.
"I won't leave..." Ena muttered to herself, quietly following behind. She wanted to see how he would shoot. As long as she could stay with him for a little longer, she didn't mind looking at him from afar. "The 8th scene, first shoot. Action!"
"Why don't you skate?" On the open-air ice rink, Elliana addressed Victor who was standing outside.
"I'm okay with watching you from here," Victor replied with a faint smile, his hands inside his pockets. "Come and hold me. What if I fall?"
"Hmm... Okay." Walking over, Victor held Elliana's hand to help her learn how to skate.
"Humph..." Outside the set, Ena's eyes were boring at their hands clasped together. If she could, she would burn Elliana's hands with her jealous stare.
"Ah!" Elliana suddenly screamed as she staggered back.
"Watch out!" Victor quickly reached out to grab her waist.
Time slowed at this moment. The only movement was the artificial snowflakes falling around them on the ice field. Elliana was held up by Victor's strong hold around her, her mouth ajar in surprise. It wasn't long before he lowered his head and their lips met.
The whole scene was beautiful and romantic.
"Ah!" Ena exclaimed and clenched her fists.
As if on cue, Elliana smiled as she wrapped her hands around Victor's neck and kissed him back. Victor's eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Cut!"
the director shouted, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. "Elliana, have you forgotten to follow the script, or are you that entranced by Victor's charm? You were supposed to push him away and fall to the ground, not hold him and kiss him back!"
"I had no choice." Elliana straightened herself up, and said to the director, "Victor is indeed very charming. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been rumors about us."
After saying that, Elliana cast a cursory glance at Ena.
'How dare she?'
Ena didn't back down from her stare. When Victor looked over, all the anger dissipated and her eyes became gentle.
"I'm going to fix my makeup." Victor began walking away, before being stopped by Elliana.
"I'll go with you." Elliana smiled, "I apologize for what happened just now."
Victor glanced at her, seeing through her feigned candor. He softly said, "It's nothing."
"Victor..." Seeing him approach, Ena rushed towards Victor.
"Wow, is this Ena, the big star? What are you doing here?" Elliana spoke before Victor could say anything.
"I.J'm here to visit my friend." Ena puffed out her chest.
"Hey, you..."
"Ena, you should leave!" Before Elliana could speak again, Victor yelled, "We are filming here! What are you doing? Don't make a fuss! Don't you have something to do?"
"But you..." Casting glances between Victor and Elliana, Ena suddenly felt very small. "You and her... You two..."
"We are filming," Victor stated.
"You two are staying at the same hotel..." Ena said, gritting her teeth.
"The crew arranged it." With another sigh, Victor called Ena's agent over. "Take her away and keep an eye on her in the future. She can't do whatever she wants. Why did you let her come here? Do your job!"
