Chapter 95
“L… I have classes tomorrow. I’m worried that I won’t be able to sleep at night.” Madeline didn’t say that she did not want to make a fool of herself at the scene.
Hearing what Yohannes said, she knew that he had noticed her just now.
But Madeline knew that she was just an insignificant person.
He didn’t need to exchange pleasantries with her.
“Visiting the crew is a task of the company. There is a trending topic”
Madeline was stunned.
Yohannes glanced at the girl through the rearview mirror, finding her lost in thought. She retained the same fair and enchanting appearance as before.
She also looked a little dumb.
But she had a fatal appeal to him.
Unfortunately, he was not her Hannes, after all
“Do you still hate me as much as before! Do you want to avoid me?
Madeline rolled her eyes and looked at the boy in the driver’s seat. She could only see his hair from the back row
It was a dreamy color.
It was also very rare for this hair color to match someone.
“No… I thought you
didn’t know me anymore, so.
The two people in the car stopped talking.
Yohannes drove the entire way and dropped Madeline off at the entrance of her condominium.
Madeline wanted to get out of the car, but she found that the door couldn’t be opened.
Do
you want to be an actress?”
“It’s my hobby and interest. Besides, I can make money as a part–time job.” Madeline refrained from revealing her true thoughts.
Yohannes opened the door. “If you want to be an actress, there’s no need to work so hard.”
He turned around and stretched out his hand, with a blue business card between his slender index finger and middle finger. There was a faint smell of mint on him
His eyes mirrored the endless night, containing a restrained and profound depth..
His appearance was remarkable, yet within him lay a soul that was lonely and profound.
“Think about it.”
Madeline took the card and put it in her pocket. “Thank you for taking me home.”
Then, she got out of the car in a hurry.
Yohannes watched the girl disappear into the night through the window.
Only then did he take out the phone that had been vibrating from his pocket.
“Hello?”
“Yohannes, where are you?” The assistant was confused. “Didn’t you say that you and Diana would take pictures together?”
“Let’s talk about it next time. After saying that, Yohannes hung up the phone.

Chapter 95
He stepped on the accelerator and headed for the winery
Halfway up Maple Mountain, there was an inconspicuous winery in the tranquil mountain retreat.
This was Yohannes‘ favorite place to come when he was upset.
The proprietor, Liam, was uncorking a bottle of wine. Upon spotting Yohannes‘ arrival, he couldn’t suppress his laughter and quipped, “Yohannes, you’ve managed to find time to drop by? After all my invitations, you never had a moment to spare.”
Yohannes sat in the window seat and hooked his fingers. “Two bottles of wine.”
“What’s going on?” Liam picked up two bottles of wine and walked over.
Thud!
The wine bottles were placed on the table.
He lazily spread his hands and said, “No way. Did you think of your young lady again! Given your own elevated status, you shouldn’t let these things trouble you. Being an idol is more like a leisure activity for you. The norms of the entertainment industry can’t really hold you down.”
Yohannes poured a glass of wine and swirled it in his hand. Through the glass, he observed the vivid chandelier lights, their colors dancing and reflecting.
These lights cascaded into his eyes, which held a notably profound and enigmatic allure.
“I saw her today and sent her home.”
“You’ve been pining after the girl for quite a while, and you simply dropped her off at home?” Liam exclaimed, somewhat taken aback. “No wonder you seemed preoccupied and had that regretful look. You must’ve wished you had gone upstairs, correct?”
“No.”
Yohannes took a sip of the wine, even though he didn’t appear to be a particularly skilled drinker.
In fact, alcohol couldn’t numb his nerves.
“I saw her working very hard. She was originally a little girl protected by me. She suffered grievances after she avoided me like this.”
He spoke, suddenly laughing at himself. “She used to say she likes me because she always thought I was a girl.
Hearing this, Liam couldn’t help laughing out loud. “You silly boy. You’re usually so reserved, and now you’re unexpectedly amusing today. What the hell? Don’t tell me that you’re actually a simp?”
Liam snapped his fingers and said, “Lex, get me two bottles of spirits. I’ll accompany my friend here to solve his issues today.
Yohannes wiped his red lips with his index finger pulp and narrowed his eyes. “No one can solve my issues.”
“Well, I can’t believe you are so self–deprecating. There are billions of women in the world. You’re just asking for hardships.”
Yohannes could still feel the bitter taste in his throat. “So what? I like hardships.”
Then, he took another big mouthful of wine and poured it into his throat. His Adam’s apple rolled, and a few drops of wine slipped into his slender neck
