A person's success would not be accidental. Take Xander, for example. In the eyes of the media, he was a n uninhibited man, which gave others the impression that he was careless and had a lack of purpose in life. No one knew that behind closed doors, he was actually a hardworking and considerate man.
I did not speak more and took the initiative to sit at the farthest end of the sofa. Scripts were supposed to b e kept confidential, so I avoided looking at them.
Xander stood up and stretched himself before lying on the couch in exhaustion.
"Why don't you go and have some rest first? I'll call you when the director is here." I could not bear seeing him like this.
"It's okay. TH just take a nap. My friends are treating u s to dinner tonight. Let’s go and cadge a good meal," h e said with his eyes closed.
"What if the director and crew arrive?" Xander had mentioned that they were taking the flight at night so they must be arriving any time soon.
"They have things to do today so they'll only come over tomorrow. We'll go and have fun tonight before starting work tomorrow."
"Xander!" I used the magazine in my hand to hit him i n anger. This brat! It turned out that he had deceived me to come over one day earlier.
"I'm so tired. I'll take a nap. I haven’t slept in 24 hours and can’t hold on anymore." Having said that, he picked up the cushion on the sofa and covered his head.
I knew that he was avoiding me on purpose so I chose to ignore him. Things had already happened anyway, and getting mad was not going to help with my current predicament.
Just as I was feeling bored, Cecilia texted me: [My dear, I'm ready to go home. Do you want any presents? I'll bring them home for you.]
[No, I’m on a business trip in the South Sea at the moment. We can go shopping together when I get back.] I had no particular request in terms of materialistic things, nor did I clamor after foreign products as much as others.
[You're in the South Sea? I’ll take a flight there, then. W e can go back together after that. Send me the location. ] Cecilia wanted to come over as soon as she heard that I was in the South Sea.
I had just sent her my location when I received a call from Mason.
"Where are you?" His voice was indifferent as ever.
"On a business trip! Didn't I tell you?" I answered,
finding his question ridiculous.
Mason sighed before continuing, "I know you're on a business trip. Which hotel are you at? I'm going to the South Sea tomorrow. Let's meet up for lunch."
