Chapter 34: Destined to be a tragedy
Phoebe Barnes sat on the bed, her gauze wrapped hand paused slightly, her pink lips slowly pursed, her eyes drooped, her voice became lower and slower, “Nancy, your books are all happy endings, writing my story into your book is destined to be a tragedy, you’d better not write it.”
Nancy MO, her college classmate and best friend, is a voice actress by profession and a popular web writer by side, but not many people know this identity except her.
Similarly, she likes Kemp Ross, as well as married to him, Nancy MO also know, so froze to prepare a new work with her as the background, the main reason is that she thinks her story is very dogged, dogged with a hint of unusual novelty.
Nancy MO is a little confused, “What tragedy? The two of you have been living in harmony for two years, there is no affection but also meat – desire ah. I am very optimistic oh, this month, there is no dry goods to me?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes held her forehead and pondered for a moment, helplessly said: “You’d better check online first, the specific details, I’ll tell you another day.”
“No need to change the day, just tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I specifically came back two days early just for you. Uh … By the way, are you busy shooting tomorrow and the next two days?”
Busy?
Phoebe Barnes face with a hint of self-deprecation, if the mess, she may not be busy in the future.
She said lightly, “Not busy, just tomorrow, I’ll ask you then.”
Hanging up the phone, Phoebe Barnes looked at the time, it was late, was Kemp Ross still in the study … or had he gone back to the second bedroom?
There was some anxiety in her heart, but she did nothing, lifted the covers and lay down, and with a hint of anticipation, turned on the light and waited.
Inside the study, the smoke filled the room, dim and deadly silence in a thick depression of low, Kemp Ross has not left.
The man sat quietly behind the desk with a handsome and calm figure, one hand on the table with half a cigarette between his fingers, burning green and white smoke rising, he was squinting at a photo held in the other hand.
Misty, his whole person presents a sense of indifferent loneliness, handsome face reveals a look similar to indulgence, memories, and even the smoke between his fingers is about to burn to his fingers, he remains oblivious.
In the photo, a man and a woman, a handsome and a beautiful, close to each other, the woman has long black hair, as if she was in her teens, her smile is pure and beautiful, the man, despite the fact that there is nothing to smile on his face, but the softness between his eyebrows is clear and unmistakable.
At a glance, you can recognize the man in the photo, it is Kemp Ross, younger than now Kemp Ross.
[She said she came back this time with the simple purpose of coming to you.
Rong Feng’s words, like an echo, replayed in Kemp Ross’s ears.
He did not move to squeeze the photo, his gaze did not turn to stare at the photo of the woman’s face, dark deep eyes swept a trace of complexity, light almost no murmur floated out.
“Alice Lan …”
Why should it suddenly appear now?
Half a dozen times, he locked the photo back into the drawer, extinguished his cigarette, hummed out a puff of smoke, got up and walked out of the study.
Although it is summer, late at night, the large villa is even more sluggish and cold.
Leather shoes rubbing the ground, not too fast, in walking to the door of the master bedroom, the man’s handsome figure paused for a moment, eyebrows light, can not see what expression, just took out the pocket hand gently turned the door.
The interior lights were still on, but the bed was no longer moving.
He stood in the doorway for a few seconds, but still raised his steps to the bed, about to turn off the light, the afterglow glanced at the woman in bed slightly stunned.
The woman’s body was wrapped in only a layer of sheets, calm little face undried tears flooded with crystal shine, wet hair by tears on the face, making her whole person looks extra pathetic.
Kemp Ross handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if seeing that day cowering in the elevator room trembling figure.
He had never seen her cry before, and lately she seems to be crying a lot.
All this is just the result of her own fault, how is it that he has become the murderer and she is the victim?
The man’s face slowly cooled, and a wave of irritation surged through his heart.
The lights were left on, and he turned around and walked out without a word.
…
The next morning, Phoebe Barnes woke up and Kemp Ross had already left for work, laughing to herself as she thought about the lights that had been on in her room all night.
He still didn’t go back to sleep in the master bedroom last night.
With no need to go to the set and no announcements, Phoebe Barnes was a little uncomfortable with the sudden relief.
She must find a way to salvage the current situation, the entertainment industry she knows few people, now she can only rely on her own.
If she is really blocked, what should she do?
She had to think about that now.
As she was eating breakfast, she felt for the phone and called Kelsey Long.
” Sister Long, how’s that going?”
Kelsey Long on the other side of the phone was silent for two seconds and said gruffly, “Sorry, Phoebe, the company’s relationships at all levels are too complicated, I haven’t found out anything accurate yet.”
Probably expected, Phoebe Barnes is not much surprised, the face is even very calm, “the reason should not be investigated, I just want to know, I now have room for redemption?”
She is a small artist of the 18th line, even if she is blocked, no one will pay much attention to her, Shengtian has so many movie queens and movie stars, who will care about the death of a small artist? The previous time she asked Kelsey Long to check it out, she felt that it was difficult for her.
The artist is not famous, and the agent naturally has little status in the company.
Phoebe Barnes finished, the phone side into a short silence, after more than ten seconds, Kelsey Long some careful said: “Phoebe, how about … you take it as a vacation, first rest for a while, I will try everything to help you get resources .”
When she finished, Phoebe Barnes also fell silent.
Low eyes stirring the milk in the cup, pink lips pursed tightly.
From her debut until now, Kelsey Long is considered her first manager, who has taken her for several years and tried her best to get roles, although they are all supporting roles, but in that competitive environment, it is already very good.
Since even she said so, is there really nothing she can do?
Kelsey Long, not knowing what she was thinking, suddenly said slowly, “There is … one more way.”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyes lit up, “What’s the solution?”
“Kemp Ross!”
Phoebe Barnes was directly shocked and opened her lips, “He?”
Kelsey Long sighed and said, “Phoebe, I don’t know exactly how deep your relationship with Ross is, but at this point, I want to remind you that he may be your only hope.”
The only hope?
Indeed, Kemp Ross is known for his ability to take over the business world, and as long as he has the money and the ability, even the entertainment industry can be completely controlled by him.
But … she is not going to beg him.
The smell of milk is dense, a stirring flash of something in her brain, she bites her lips, suddenly asked: “How can I see Lu less?”
“Lu less?” Kelsey Long was startled for a moment, seemingly a little incredulous of her, “Even I can’t see him, so don’t even think about it.”
