Lucy was still worried when she escorted Anna to the airport. After the announcement of the Dahlia, reporters would probably keep tracking the dirt anti-fans dished.
Lucy sighed, seeing Anna wake up with a hangover.
“Alas, you did know you couldn’t drink more. Why did you persist in drinking?”
Lucy parked the car at the airport. Taking out a pill to Anna, Lucy handed her to the departure hall.
Anna coughed and took the pill obediently. “I won’t do that anymore.”
However, Lucy didn’t joke as usual. She said seriously, “But it isn’t a bad thing. At least, I saw the past Anna again.”
“What?”
“You’re happier.” Lucy threw the paper cup into a trash can, after Anna finished drinking the water. “Since you broke up with Black, you hadn’t treated anyone with vigor and passion. You kept alert...”
“Except Jack, you weren’t willing to open your heart to others.”
“That you protected you well, but I don’t want to see the indifferent Anna again.”
Anna looked at Lucy with a slight smile. She didn’t mean to do that. But now, she dared to deal with the showbiz, since she was capable to enter the Dahlia and had a husband whom she could count on. This sense of security made her more confident.
“Your agent hasn’t contacted you?”
“As Rick said, my agent is already at the UNIC headquarters in France. He will be waiting for us right there tomorrow.” Lucy recalled what Rick said. “He should have been there for a while.”
Anna nodded. With the protection of the Dahlia, they entered the airport without any harassment of the Dahlia. No one dared to challenge its tolerance.
As soon as they walked into an exclusive lounge, a group of men was interviewing an artist not far away, raising microphones and cameras, and gathering in a circle.
“Miss Lynn!”
Lynn Zhang?
Anna immediately opened her eyes. It was Lynn, the ratings queen of the Dragon Entertainment!
Anna watched Lynn entering, surrounded by reporters and fans. Lynn also noticed her but looked away after a moment of surprise and panic.
Lynn was really the major star of the Dragon, crowed by her agent, assistant and makeup artist... There was a cluster of eight people. However, Anna was in a different situation. In their opinion, Anna was only a minor actress, even if she signed the Dahlia.
Anyway, when Anna was forced out by the Dragon, she attracted considerable attention. Even though she was one of the Dahlia, Anna couldn’t change her past.
“It seems that the Dragon also values its cooperation with UNIC.”
“Maybe.”
Lucy eyed her faint smile. Seemingly, Anna didn’t take it seriously and felt very confident.
Anna recalled what Serena said that night. The Dahlia was never a loser. Now she belonged to it. Of course, it wouldn’t lose the competition.
Besides, she would get even with the Dragon.
Staff from the Dragon intended to satirize Anna and let her quit as soon as possible. However, before they could take any action, four private bodyguards of Anna appeared and stood behind her.
After checking in the hotel the company arranged, Lucy contacted Bill and asked about the next itinerary. Meanwhile, Jack was attending an emergency meeting with the representatives of the Tong.
“The detailed itinerary has been sent to your email. Her agent will look for you soon.”
“Mr. Jack is having a meeting. I have to go. Send me a message if something urgent happens.”
Lucy put down her phone, puzzled. They were about to meet with the brand and the famous director. But they still didn’t know who the agent was…
As soon as she changed into a comfortable dress, Anna saw Lucy’s weird expression and asked smilingly, “What happened?”
“I think the arranged agent is weird. He hasn’t shown up. How busy he is!”
At that time, Anna felt stomachache again. Leaning against the bed, she looked through the quarterly magazine of the UNIC.
Lucy was worried. “I have some stomach medicine. You can take some. If you’re still sick at night, we will go to see a doctor.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not that weak.”
Anna forced a smile.
“If you’re uncomfortable, the boss will kill me!”
Lucy put the pills on the table and couldn’t help but nag, “This is your first itinerary after you signed the Dahlia. The opponents of the Dragon are on the alert. You know how popular Lynn is recently. I’m afraid that…”
For Anna, the endorsement was essential.
