"How much was your share in that ga?" Alric only asked when he started the car. To think that would still be in touch because of so agre change did not sit well with him.
As if Nora could read his thoughts, she rolled her eyes.
"If you can fix the cost of my blood and sweat! I have given days in developing that ga. Even if it earns a penny, I want it." his jaw tightened as he turned the car.
Nora noticed that they were returning to the hospital. She hesitated. She had fixed the eting with Blake and the advertising company. But it had already been hours since Alric was accompanying her. Would it not be too much if she kept asking for his ti?
"You go and have a rest, I have so business to deal with." Alric noticed that Nora was checking her mobile again and again. He paused and stared at her hard, "is there sothing you are troubled with?"
"Ah!" Nora felt embarrassed at once. "Actually, I still have so work in my company. I do not want to drag you more. But can I take your car before I arrange one for myself."
Alric, who already had a foot out, entered the car and closed the door shut.
"Alric!"
"You are a minor. I can not entrust my car with you."
"....." Nora felt embarrassed again.
"Then I will take the taxi. You do not need to worry."
"You are going to be my wife. How can I not worry?" that.. It was just a relationship on paper to solve their issues. Was it not?
She did not understand why he was being so caring when they only had a business deal between them.
But even when he opened her mouth, she didn’t know how to ask about it.
"Don’t you have your own work to complete? I do not know how many hours it would take . Do not be unreasonable." Alric paused while starting the car.
Noticing the deep frown settling on her face, he realized she had never expected him to care for her.
"You an we should only behave nice when we have spectators. Rest of the ti, we should not care about each other at all and treat each other as strangers?" Nora opened her mouth and closed it only to open it again in confusion.
She had exactly those thoughts. But now she felt guilty to accept them.
"I have told you I do not want a sham marriage. You would be my wife, real wife. So my worry and care is not dependent on spectators. Now shall we?" he did not wait for her to nod.
He did not wait for her reply at all as he started the car and without telling him the address, he reached for the main office of the Mojo Ltd.
Nora called Blake and fixed a eting there. But when the door was opened, everyone was surprised to see Alric standing there.
His presence was too strong. As if the room had shrunk after he entered. They all felt too conscious about their presence.
"This.." Alric walked toward an empty seat and opened his mobile. He did not want to interfere in her work.
Nora’s face softened as she watched him.
"He is my fiance. We are soon going to get married." The words hit the group like lightning. Though Nora always behaved mature and adult. She was a minor.
Hardly eighteen and she was already planning to get married? While the groom looked much mature. Perhaps around thirty already?
Could it be that he was forcing her? Many looked at him with a cold glance and contempt.
"He is a very kind person. You must have heard about Anastasia foundation. He is its owner." Once again everyone was stunned. They looked at him with complex emotions.
Alric’s hand paused slightly when she told about the foundation. Only a few people know about it, how did she know? No, the question was... is there sothing she did not know?!
"I have co here because I have finalized the model for our work." when everyone expected her to choose the girl from the magazine. She pointed at herself. "I am going to shoot it."
"Is that so kind of joke?" The manager from the Tencent company had not expected Nora to choose herself.
He had been waiting with Titiana’s profile all this ti. Was he called just to be humiliated?
Nora looked at the man. It took her a second to recognize him. But when the mory hit, her eyes went cold and dark.
"You are..."
"I am Titania’s manager and agent and I have been told that she is going to shoot this advertisent. Do you have any idea why we have refused two companies to free her schedule for you? And now you are telling that you are going to model yourself? Do you have any idea how the entertainnt industry works? And do you even have qualifications?" he looked at Nora from head to toe as if he had heard a joke.
"Have we ever confird you?" Nora did not seem to mind his mockery, her tone was professional from the start to the end making him embarrassed.
"I.. but your company had enquired only about her and then you fixed the date of shooting so we thought.." the man glared! Such a young girl was playing a ga of words with him. It was too embarrassing.
Another manager accompanying Nora understood. They have enquired about their rising star but did not confirm it. They have planned to take Nora from the start.
"It must be so misunderstanding. Since we still have ti, how about we discuss it first. We also need a male star to shoot with you for the script, mam. How about we postpone it for later?" The man will buy ti and then convince Nora to let Titania work or cancel the advertisent.
Nora knew the tactic too well. So she only smiled and looked at Alric.
"I have my man right here."
