Love Is a Sweet Addiction

At this time, the nanny van suddenly stopped in the crowd. As everyone held their breaths and waited, a man that might be an assistant walked out of the car.

The assistant walked straight towards Esther and stood in front of her with a smile. “Miss Esther, Lila has something personal to discuss with you.”

Everyone exclaimed in a low voice. They all looked at Esther in confusion. Apparently, they did not expect that Lila would actually invite an ordinary fan. Cecily, who had been holding Esther’s wrist, was also stunned. She looked at Esther in shock. “Esther, do you know Lila?”

“Yes,” Esther replied calmly. Then she said to the male assistant, “Please tell Miss Lila that I only have time for business. There is nothing personal. Now excuse me for refusing her.”

The assistant said, “Of course it’s business. Miss Esther, you certainly know how busy Lila is. That’s why she hopes to talk to you in the car right now.”

“Sorry, I am on leave today.”

It seemed to be the first time he had seen such a tactless person. The assistant’s face clearly showed a hint of displeasure. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. It was from Lila.

“Miss Lila…” He called out respectfully and hung up the phone after a few words with her. He put on a professional smile again. “I’m sorry, Miss Esther. Miss Lila just said she would respect your schedule. We may talk about it tomorrow.”

“So we can meet tomorrow,” Esther said.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” The assistant turned and returned to the car.

As soon as the assistant left, Cecily excitedly turned to Esther and asked, “How did you know Lila? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Can you help me ask for her autograph tomorrow? I…”

“Will you stop it?” Esther stopped her fretfully.

Cecily was startled by her sudden anger. She finally realized that Esther was angry with a terrible expression.

“Esther, I’m sorry.” She looked at Esther and called out in a low voice.

It suddenly came to Cecily that it would just be too normal for Esther to know a celebrity with her superior status as Terence’s wife. The disgust on Esther’s face clearly revealed her bad impression of Lila and the bad relationship between them.

She hurriedly loosened the fingers on Esther’s wrist and apologized profusely, “I’m really sorry. I didn’t know that you knew Lila, and I didn’t know that you two…”

“I only have a cooperative relationship with her with clothing supplies. There’s nothing else. Besides, I’m not a fan of her. Let’s go, we’re back.” After Esther finished speaking, she turned around and walked in the direction she had come from. After being made such a ruckus by Lila, she was no longer in the mood to play.

On the way back, Esther’s mood was very low. Her mind was in a mess as she wondered why Lila would suddenly come to Proley to film. Was it a coincidence or another scheme against Terence?

Cecily, who was accompanying her, was frightened by her appearance. She thought that she was the one who had provoked her and could only stay by her side with no words.

As soon as Cecily returned to the company, Miss Young saw that she looked like she had done something wrong. She asked, “Didn’t Mr. Terence ask you to go out with Miss Esther? Why did you come back so early?”

Cecily looked up at Miss Young and Terence, who was busy working behind her, and answered apologetically, “We were originally having a good time. But later I accidentally annoyed Mrs. Gibson and we just came back.”

Miss Young looked at Terence and asked Cecily, “How did you annoy Mrs. Gibson?”

“I took Mrs. Gibson to play in the ancient town. She wanted to visit the film studio complex and we accidentally met Lila at the entrance who had just finished filming. It was my fault to get crazy when seeing such a celebrity. I didn’t know that Mrs. Gibson was not a fan of Lila and even had a bad relationship with her before. I shouldn’t have taken her to Lila. Then…”

Terence finally raised his head from the document and stared at her. “And then what?”

“Then, she saw Mrs. Gibson and asked her assistant to get her into the car to talk.”

Terence frowned slightly. Cecily panicked again and said, “But Mrs. Gibson refused. She made an appointment with Lila tomorrow.”

“After all, ever since Mrs. Gibson met the Lila, she has been unhappy. It was all my fault…” Cecily lowered her head guiltily.

Miss Young thought about it and said to her, “Forget it, don’t be so tactless next time. You can get off work now.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hearing Miss Young’s words, Cecily secretly heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Terence secretly. When she realized that he didn’t have any signs of scolding her, she said to them, “I promise it won’t happen again. Thank you, Mr. Terence and Miss Young.”

After saying that, she was afraid that Terence would regret it and quickly walked out.

After closing the office door, Miss Young turned around and looked at Terence. She smiled and teased, “Your charm is really chilling. You have only been in Proley for a week and have already attracted big stars like Lila.”

“She came here to film. It has nothing to do with me.” As he said this, Terence’s brows unconsciously furrowed deeper and deeper.

Why would Lila suddenly come to Proley to film? She must be hiding something.

“It seems that Miss Esther is quite carried away by you. She immediately became unhappy when she saw Lila.” Miss Young smiled. “It seems that only an outstanding woman like Lila can arouse Miss Esther’s true feelings for you.”

“How do you know that her true feelings are hidden in her heart?” Terence asked in disapproval.

“I can see it from the fact that she changed her attitude at the last minute and came to Proley with you, and the notebook in her hand that is full of records related to your illness.” Miss Young said, “Anyway, you might not be able to see through it even if I tell you. I still have an appointment. I will get off work early today.”

After that, Miss Young also left the office, leaving behind Terence who had a slightly complicated expression.

Esther pushed the cart around the supermarket, planning to buy ingredients for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow morning.

Dinner alone was not only hard to make, but also boring to eat. She planned to cook a bowl of egg noodles.

After buying things and returning home, Terence came back when she was ready to eat the noodles.

Esther turned and glanced out the window. It was not even dark yet while he was back so early. Why was she so early today?

She looked at Terence who was changing his shoes and asked, “Have you had your dinner?”

“No.”

“Then why didn’t you send me a message?” Esther glanced at the noodles in front of her. “I didn’t buy anything tonight.”

“Aren’t you in a bad mood? Can you make dinner?”

Esther was a little surprised. He knew what happened today. Cecily must have told him about her encounter with Lila in the film studio complex.
