Chapter 21 If You’ve Regretted We’re divorced, so what’s the point of him calling me? Is he trying to mock me? He blocked me on WhatsApp, so I’m just doing the same thing by blocking his number on my phone. We’ve both done the same thing once, so fair and square. … After shooting the last scene at the studio, Mia bowed to the staff from the production company and voiced out sweetly, “Thanks everyone for the great effort. I’ve ordered some drinks for everyone and it’s right outside. You can take one each when you’re on the way out.” “Thanks, Mia. You’ve worked very hard too.”
“I mainly stood there and posed for a few shots, so my job’s not as tough as yours. You guys should go back and get some good rest. I’m looking forward to our next collaboration.” It seemed that her shoot was not over as she was still putting on an act of courtesy in front of everyone; as soon as she turned around, her face shifted instantly. She quickened her footsteps and headed back to her dressing room. Subsequently, she slammed the headpiece in her hands onto the table. Bang!
“These bunch of so-called professionals must be idiots! They took so long to complete a few simple shots! Did they think that we’re filming a movie here?” As she spoke, she turned around to berate her personal assistant, “I’ve told you so many times not to accept such cheap and low advertisement jobs! Do you think that I’m not worthy of better gigs?” Prior to this, she had just obtained a chance to appear on an international platform. She had also gained ambassadorship for a renowned brand by relying on Aidan’s influence. Right now, by choosing this inferior advertisement, it would be a significant drop in her status.
Her personal assistant silently replied, “This advertisement would provide a huge exposure and it would be very helpful in building up your popularity.” “What’s the point of gaining popularity? I don’t need something insignificant like this. They should honestly review themselves. They’re not worth my time at all!” Her personal assistant stopped speaking as she thought, Mia was the one who personally asked to be part of the advertisement three months ago. She had basically forsaken her image to beg for this chance.
However, ever since she became entangledwith President Pearson, she’s had a complete change in character. She seems to think that she’s better than everyone now. After Mia’s tirade, she took out her cell phone to check out the public comments on the Internet.
However, as soon as she clicked on Twitter, she saw Leanna’s response to the matter and the statement that Lux Jewelry posted. Mia clenched her teeth and thought, I can’t believe that Leanna’s still well and fine after such a huge commotion! She was about to create some more trouble for Leanna when suddenly, a sharp woman’s voice rang out in the silent dressing room. ‘I’ve told you so many times not to accept such cheap and low advertisement jobs! Do you think that I’m not worthy of better gigs?” ‘What’s the point of gaining popularity? I don’t need something insignificant like this.
They should honestly review themselves. They’re not worth my time at all!’ Mia was stunned beyond words upon hearing that and she clearly did not expect her words from earlier to have been recorded. She stood up abruptly and asked, “Who’s out there? Come out right now!” Meanwhile, Leanna smiled and beckoned her by waving in the corner. The smart woman held a phone in her hands, which was the very source of the voice recording that was played. “Excuse me, I intended to come over and greet you, but you were too loud and domineering as soon as you entered the room, so I didn’t get a chance to speak,” Leanna apologized insincerely. At that point, Mia’s face turned as pale as a sheet.
It looks like Adan’s indeed a cold and unfeeling person. This guy is hopeless. She paused for a moment as she tried hard to stifle her laughter before striding off, not batting an eyelash at them. I’ll just leave them to their own performance. However, as she walked past Aidan, he grabbed hold of Leanna’s wrist and shot a look at Mia before uttering, “Get out.” Mia bit hard on her lip and nearly drew blood. She did not even get the chance to collect her belongings as she fled the dressing room. The room descended into silence as soon as the door was shut from the outside. Leanna remained silent for a moment before exhaling loudly. “I wasn’t targeting you with the words I said earlier. I just meant…” That the two of you are rubbish!!! However, he interrupted her and asked coldly, “Did you block my number?” At that point, she remained silent. He frowned. “Answer my question.”
Perplexed by his current behavior, she tried to laugh off the tension after a moment of silence. “Haha. President Pearson, you must be trying to joke around with me, huh? We’re divorced, so why should we keep each other’s contact details? Did you think we would need that so that we can make a toast at each other’s funerals?” He was rendered speechless by her words. “Besides, you’ve blocked me on WhatsApp too. So, isn’t that a clear indication that you wish to sever all ties with me?” He pursed his thin lips and thought, Every single message that she sent back then was to ask for a divorce, so of course, I was annoyed! “That’s not what I meant.” She relented quite quickly. “Okay. I’ve misunderstood you, but this isn’t a deterrent for us to block each other since we’ve actually gotten a divorce anyway. We should sever all ties and proceed with our own lives happily.” The impatient Aidan annoyingly replied, “You’ve mentioned the word ‘divorce’ repeatedly.
Is that the only thing that you care about?” She paused and reminded him gently, “President Pearson, have you forgotten that we just signed the divorce papers this morning? I still have the divorce papers in my bag.” The frown on his face deepened and his slender fingers twitched slightly. Gradually, he released his grip on her hands. Leanna lowered her eyes and glanced at her reddened wrist due to his tight grip. This b*stard! Does he think that he’s grabbing hold of a criminal? He exerted so much force! “President Pearson, if you’re done here, then I’ll leave now…” Calmly, he responded, “If you’ve regretted your decision, I can consider giving you another chance.”
