Nancy Murray was startled. For a moment, she did not realize what he meant.
On the other side, the employee assumed that Nancy did not want to admit the truth. He smiled at her with twinkly eyes.
“You don’t have to be wary of me. I harbor no bad intentions towards you, and I won’t go to those useless paparazzi.
As he spoke, he took out his phone and typed Nell’s name into the search box.
Soon, several news articles began to surface.
All of them were news relating to Nell Jennings, none of them exempted. All of them were news about her career as a movie star.
Nell had stayed out of the limelight ever since she had a child, so the articles were from several years ago. Nonetheless, as long as someone dug deep enough, there was still a lot of information out there about her.
Nancy Murray felt a little embarrassed.
It was all her fault. Nancy had been with Nell for such a long time, plus the fact that Nell’s business and identity were so complicated, that Nancy forgot that Nell used to be an actress.
Nancy twitched at the corners of her mouth, holding back a smile. “Uh… Yes, you’re right, that’s my friend. Thank you for helping us keep this a secret.
When the other party heard Nancy’s admission, his expression instantly relaxed, as if breathing a sigh of relief.
“I knew it, I was right.”
Following that, he grinned and introduced himself. “My name is Bob, what’s your name?”
Nancy intoned expressionlessly, “Nancy Murray.”
“Nancy Murray? Nice name. Now that we’ve introduced ourselves, are we considered friends?”
Nancy felt that this person was quite… annoying.
However, she did not say it aloud and did not have the heart to chase him away.
After all, the place they were occupying was his territory!
As a result, she could only keep up her apathetic beauty facade and stopped talking to him.
Bob realized that despite his constant chatter, Nancy did not reply, nor did she show any response.
He self-consciously touched his nose, wondering if he said something wrong!
At that moment, Nell had just finished a practice lap and was taking a break, so she walked over to them.
“What are you talking about? Sounds lively around here.”
Lively?
Nancy Murray reacted as if she had just heard a joke. Her eyes widened in shock.
Nell was slightly embarrassed, so her face tensed a little.
Of course, she could see that the atmosphere between these two people was very awkward, that was why she came over to diffuse the situation.
It just happened that one of the parties involved was a straightforward, no-nonsense person like Nancy Murray. Hence, the situation became even more awkward.
Originally, Bob could have saved the situation with his humorous personality.
Now, even he could not make a proper comeback. Alas, he just smiled awkwardly at them and muttered an excuse about going back to work.
After Bob left, Nell sat down and looked at Nancy Murray with an air of helplessness.
“Girl, don’t you see that he was deliberately trying to talk to you, and was interested in you? Why did you give him a cold shoulder?”
Nancy Murray stiffened minutely.
Stubbornly, she refused to admit it. “What?! Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Tsk, am I talking nonsense? His intention was so obvious, but someone refuses to admit it.”
Nell took a sip of water and mumbled, “Our Nancy not only has a beautiful face, but also a good figure and wonderful personality. It’s too bad that she’s so shy. I wonder which prince will be able to coax this little flower to open up.”
Nancy Murray’s face blushed red.
She stuttered panickedly, “Nelly, stop it, there’s no such thing.”
