The female assassin wailed on the floor.
Ralph put the pistol away impassively and turned his head to glance at Lottie who was leaning against the wall, "Are you okay?"
"I'm... fine."
Lottie, who was still in shock, came back to her senses and shook her head with a pale face.
Although she often saw props like pistols when she was on the set, this was the first time she had seen a real one.
A few minutes ago, Ralph used it to shoot the female assassin.
The smell of blood in the air and the blood all over the floor made her a little weak in the legs.
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine... really."
Ralph turned around and walked out.
As he walked to the door, he noticed that she didn't follow.
He frowned and turned his head back, "Why don’t you follow me?"
Lottie bit her lips, "I..."
She had gotten so weak in the legs that she couldn't walk.
Noticing that she was a bit hesitant, Ralph curled his lips and realized the reason why she didn't go.
He shook his head helplessly, then walked over in big strides and embraced her horizontally.
Lottie pursed her lips. She felt shy as she nestled in his arms and watched Ralph carry her out the door.
Leaning against his chest, she could feel the pace of his breath and heartbeat.
Inexplicably, Lottie's face flushed.
"Lottie!"
They had just gotten out of the shower room when Connie hurried over, "Lottie, are you okay?"
Lottie pursed her lips. Then she looked up and smiled towards Connie, "I'm fine."
She was just a little weak in the legs.
"What was going on..."
Connie lowered her head and sighed heavily, "I just went to call my parents to tell them that we were safe, but you..."
After that, she looked up into Ralph's eyes, "Mr. Chapman, have you done with that woman?"
Ralph nodded and turned away with Lottie in his arms, "She's freaking out. I'll take her back first."
Connie was stunned. She hurriedly caught up with them, "What about me?"
Ralph didn't look back, "My assistant will take you back."
Just as he finished speaking, Sean had already appeared in front of Connie. He made an inviting gesture to the direction of the car, "Miss Houghton, let's go."
Connie pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look in the direction Ralph and Lottie left, "If we drive back, what about them?"
Sean laughed, "It's rare that Mr. Chapman has time to hug Mrs. Chapman for a walk. Why should we bother them?"
It then dawned on Connie something.
It was an excuse for Ralph as he said he was taking Lottie back to the hotel. He actually wanted to hold her a little longer, right?
She snickered at the thought, "It seems that Mr. Chapman attaches great importance to Lottie!"
"Of course. Mrs. Chapman is the first woman that Mr. Chapman cherishes so much."
Connie gave him a sidelong glance, "Nonsense."
"If Lottie is the first, what about Elijah and Fabian's mother?"
Sean was stunned and lowered his head.
That woman...
He couldn't figure out Mr. Chapman's feelings towards that woman.
...
The sea breeze at night was a bit cool as it blew across the people on the beach.
Ralph hugged Lottie and walked slowly on the beach by the sea.
"I thought you should experience a lot after you have acted so many years."
Ralph walked while speaking coolly, "It seems that I have still overestimated you."
Lottie was speechless.
Lying in his arms, she smelled the familiar scent. She pouted, "What I saw on the movie set are all fake..."
But everything that just happened was real!
Lottie’s body shivered slightly.
After a while, Ralph spoke in a soft tone, "Are you afraid?"
It was the gentlest voice Lottie had ever heard from him.
She buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "A little."
"It may happen many times in the future."
