Chapter 740
"You have two endorsements coming, and both are even skin care products.How are you going to take the job now? Do you know how much money we're going to lose?"
Stella pursed her lips and softly said, "I'm sorry..."
Leighton cut her off as soon as she spoke and said to his manager annoyedly, "You're spitting all over my wound.Are you trying to make things worse for me?"
His manager glared at him.
"Why did the company assign me to such a troublemaker?!"
‘He'd lose his ability to think whenever he saw his crush and do anything to defend her!' Leighton lay on the bed and buried his face in the pillow.
Then, he said in alow and muffled voice, "Find somebody better to work with, then!"
His manager rolled his eyes at the ungrateful guy.
He was about to say something, but his phone rang.
Then, he went outside to answer it.
Stuart was very distressed as he looked at Leighton's wound.
Then, he pursed his lips and said, "Get some rest.You don't have to come when we start shooting.I'll reschedule your parts to be filmed later.So take care of yourself."
Leighton said while suppressing the pain, "It's okay.I can be there.My wound is on my back anyway.It won't affect anything."
Stuart said again, "It's fine.Just rest well."
Then, he saw Stella, who looked very guilty, at the side.
He paused and said, "Are you sober now?"
Stella kept quiet.She had forgotten how she pretended to be drunk as she was too worried about Leighton.She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she heard Leighton mocking Stuart, "You'd be sober too if someone splashed boiling water at you."
Stuart thought what Leighton said made sense, so he said, "I'll drive you back."
"Thanks, Mr.Winfield, but I'll stay a little longer.You should leave without me."
So, Stuart turned around and left.
He drank a lot, and he felt very dizzy.
His casts were admitted to the hospital one after another before the shooting even started.
He wondered if he picked an unlucky date to begin shooting, so he planned to talk to a fortune teller and pick a better date.
Everyone in the ward started leaving, and Stella was the only person left.
