"You want me to pick you up from the airport and now you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend. You only know how to use me as soon as you return home!" Margaret was speechless.
"We are friends that have been through everything together. Would you be happy seeing me get tortured by going on a blind date?"
"Here's the truth!" Margaret put her cap back on. "I would be quite happy."
"You're so cruel!" Elvis cried out.
Margaret walked out grumpily. Elvis put on his disguise and followed her out.
As Margaret saw the many fans waiting for Elvis even before his officially announced time, she could not help but to think how crowded it would be at eight in the evening.
After all, Elvis was really popular.
After Elvis left the airport, his official account would announce that his flight had either arrived earlier or had been delayed to throw fans off his actual whereabouts.
Some celebrities would generally do this for the safety of their fans and the smooth operation of the airport.
In the car.
"Where is your uncle?" Margaret ended up asking.
Alas, she had no choice. As for what Elvis had said, the two of them had been through a lot together.
Although Margaret was annoyed, she could not just sit by and do nothing.
"I always knew that my Maggie is the kindest." Elvis quickly said, "7 o'clock, room 666 at the Emperor Hotel."
"Alright, got it." Margaret took note of that. She then said, "Get the driver to send me to my apartment."
Margaret gave him an address.
After the driver figured where it was, he drove in the apartment direction.
"Is this your house or the company's apartment?" Elvis asked.
"It's the company's apartment. Please, I've just arrived in Haverland not long ago. How could I afford to buy a house?" Margaret said reluctantly.
"A few days ago, the news said that a rising star in Haverland has been appointed as the global spokesperson of Riley Jewelry!" Elvis patted Margaret on the shoulder. He looked like an old man advising his child, "I told you before that being an artist suits you. As long as you put in more effort in this industry, you'd definitely have days better than when you worked in bars in Haverland!"
Margaret rolled her eyes. "I know that you're incredible and have a good vision. Didn't I already come back to Haverland to make a living?"
"That's right, but didn't you always resist returning to Haverland? Why did you suddenly return so quickly?" Elvis had always been very confused about this.
Although she never explained it clearly, Elvis could sense that something had happened to Margaret in Haverland.
They got to know each other at the bar. Elvis knew that Margaret was working hard to make money for a child. Elvis said before that he wanted to pay his medical fees for her, but she did not agree. She was very egoistic.
Margaret was a beautiful woman and Elvis had wanted to help her become an artist. But Margaret refused his help at the time.
He didn't know what happened after that for this girl to actually voluntarily return on her own.
When Margaret heard Elvis's words, her mood suddenly changed.
Just then, the car reached the apartment.
Margaret pushed the door open and said, "I'll go back and get ready first before heading to the hotel later. Let's talk then!"
She then left the car in a hurry, as if she was avoiding something.
Elvis shook his head in confusion. Then he came to his senses and told the driver, "Go back to the villa."
Although he had been abroad all year round, Elvis still had a private villa in the country.
"Okay!"
...
After returning to the apartment, Margaret shook her head and shook off the scene in her mind.
That was right. She was now in Haverland. That person could no longer control her.
Margaret came to the bathroom and turned the tap on. She then splashed the cold water onto her face.
It was only then did Margaret feel more refreshed. The ringtone of her mobile phone sounded outside of the bathroom.
