Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 241

Leia felt a lot better after she replied to her mother's message. She opened the trailer door and called out gently, "Come over here for a bit, Marie."

Her tone of voice sounded like a noble beckoning for their servant or an owner calling for their pet.

Marie was not happy when she heard that, though she faked a smile and jogged over obediently. "Do you need me for anything?"

'Of course I need you for something!' Leia thought as she looked at Marie with disdain.

'Can't you be a little smarter as an assistant?'

"Why don't you ever address me whenever I talk to you?" Leia said warmly.

The surroundings might be dark, but Leia's impeccable features had seemed to brighten the night a little.

Members of the production crew passed by while carrying props.

"It's like this. You're six years younger than me, and I'm not sure how I should address you," Marie said awkwardly.

"Ms. Leia" sounded too formal.

She did not feel close enough to Leia to call her by only her name. After all, she was only a lowly assistant.

Marie could never forget the humiliation she suffered when Leia stepped on her fingers.

Leia smiled genially when she heard Marie's words. "You can just call me Leia."

Some of the crew members overheard what Leia said.

"You're too kind, Leia!"

"I shouldn't have taken my degree in photography! It's much better to be Leia's assistant!"

"…"

As they gossiped, they praised Leia's generosity and friendliness.

Leia smiled, then went back into her trailer to change.

While Marie applied some makeup remover to a cotton pad, she thought to herself, 'Those people in the production crew call her 'Leia' because they're her seniors. If I call her 'Leia,' she might not actually like it.'

With that thought, Marie decided that she should find a more influential benefactor and get away from Leia as soon as possible.

She would scale greater heights and be a hundred times more glamorous than Leia Norman!

…

On the drive back to the city center.

The RV drove into the downtown area. Leia was not in the mood to look at the bustle of the city outside but instead kept on calling Xavier's number.

Eventually, at about seven o'clock, Xavier answered the call.

Leia sat up straight and furrowed her brows. "Why didn't you answer the call sooner?"

Xavier had only gotten out of the police station and regained the use of his phone. "Why are you looking for me?"

Leia answered, "I have something to ask you. You're the only one I trust who can give me advice. If you don't have anything else, let's meet up."

Xavier continued to walk out of the police station while he lit a cigarette. "Alright, you decide on a place."
