Darling, Don't Get Rid of Me
Chapter 41 To Catch People's Attention

Harriet's eyes dimmed when the phone rang in the car.

Harriet asked Molly to go back to the studio first, and then she got off the car halfway and waited for someone by the roadside.

She pressed her cap extremely low in such hot day, kicking the stones on the roadside boringly. After a while, a black car stopped slowly in front of her. "Miss Clark, get in the car."

Jack got out of the car and opened the car door for her. The cold air in the car relieved the burning sensation in the scorching sun.

Harriet unconsciously tightened the strap of her bag and froze for a second before getting on the car when she spotted the man in the backseat. Wesley questioned her once she sat down, "You want to ask Jack for a dinner? Jack is here now, where are you going to have the dinner with him?" Harriet retorted calmly, "Aren't you on a business trip?"

"This is not the excuse you trouble me."

"Isn't the trouble you set for me?" Harriet carefully watched him. "I just said some words that annoyed you and you just bullied me like that?" Wesley's brow furrowed a little, "I have warned you to keep your nose clean in the crew."

"You really fabricated the rumor?" Harriet shouted sullenly, "I have explained it to you that Bryant and I have nothing between us, Wesley Smith!" "What did you call me?" The man looked at her coldly.

She always called him Mr. Wesley or boss respectfully in the past three years, but she had done a lot of stuff against him and even called his full name directly.

Harriet stared angrily at him, "Wesley Smith, aren't you called Wesley Smith? As the CEO of Pop Culture Group, you did such shameless matter, making up rumors... ah..." Harriet exclaimed with pain, with her wrist firmly buckled.

Wesley told her with his powerful eyesight, "Did you not know what was good for you as I used to be too kind to you? Who gave you the guts to judge me?"

Harriet gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "I am not a docile girl. You can leave me alone and replace plenty of obedient girls in the art academy."

"I think you cannot fell the pain unless there is a knife on your neck."

Wesley got colder eyesight, "I reckon that you made me feel more comfortable when your brother was unconscious in the hospital."

"What are you going to do?"

"It's hard to let the unconscious person recovered but it's easy to put a healthy person in the hospital. Jack, did you get it?"

"Wesley Smith!" Harriet's face was pale and she bit her teeth into pieces for the warning from him. She finally gave up struggling and said with forbearance, "Mr. Smith..."

Wesley threw away her hand impatiently and leaned back on the back of the seat again, looking at the windshield in front without any emotion, "Stop here."

The car stopped slowly at the most prosperous business district in the city center.

"Get off."

The cold words echoed in the car.

Harriet clenched her fingers tightly and the joints were all whitish. She got out of the car quickly.

She was actually planning to speak softly with Wesley just like before to coax him whether he was the culprit or not, so that he could help her fix the rumor. But she did not know why she couldn't stand thinking of all the grievances of these days when facing him. She lost her control totally.

The sun was burning like a fire in the afternoon, she stood on the side of the road still wearing the cap and the mask which made her sweat soon but her heart was cold.

When thinking that Wesley threatened her with Colin's safety and required her to be as docile as before, she felt extremely distraught and her stomach was tumbling over and over again.

The car had been driving far away from the main city and there was deep silence in the car.

Jack glanced at the rear-view mirror and carefully said, "Boss, why don't you explain the rumor?"

In the mirror, Wesley still looked cold and wise, "It's no necessity."

Jack could only shut up.

A moment later, a cold voice came from the back, "Jack, arrange to remove the hot searched news and deal it thoroughly."

"Yes sir."

Jack secretly looked at Wesley from the rear-view mirror and couldn't understand why he was frowning.

Harriet finally received a call from the company saying that the hot searched rumor had been fixed after most of the day.

"Harriet, the news is fixed in the end. I knew that the company would help us as I heard that Boss William had come back from his business trip."

Seeing Molly's naive face, Harriet was lying on the bed with blank mind.

It was not ended by boss William but Wesley as he had already threatened her successfully and decided to fix the rumor for her. He just directed the cause and the ending. "Harriet, you look not well, why don't you take a half day off? I will tell the director to let you have a rest."

"I can be energetic again with sleeping for ten minutes. Wake me up till the time and we will join the shooting following the schedule."

Harriet felt dizzy when she was back to the crew and she felt cold and hot in periods which was probably caused by the burning of the sun at noon.

After Molly left, she quickly fell asleep. She failed it hard to open her eyelids. It seemed that someone patted her shoulder and there was crying sound near her.

She had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she could only saw a cold white world.

"Harriet, thanks god, you are awake."

The sound at the ear made Harriet regained her sense. She sat up from the bed with the support of her sore arms.

Molly took a pillow for her waist fast and held one of her hands, anxiously said, "Don't move, you are getting the fluids intravenously!"

"Why am I here?" Harriet looked pale and spoke very weakly.

"The doctor said you had a heat stroke," Molly blamed herself, and whispered, "It's my fault that I didn't take care of you but let you went out in such a hot day for dealing with the rumor. I'm so useless." Harriet patted her hand, "It's okay, isn't it all resolved?"

"Yes, it is, but Bryant's fans still fight against us. We lost our fans because of the rumor."

"It's okay, take the time. We are afraid that no one will remember us instead of being in a rumor as an actress or actor."

Molly took a deep breath and nodded seriously with full energy with her words.

In the afternoon, during the time in the hospital they checked their recent schedules. It would cost only half a month for Harriet's role in the drama to be finished as Bryant played the main role it. "Didn't you say there are several variety shows for me? Why are there only these two? And both of them are interviewing type."

"Charlene has taken the rest of the shows."

"Charlene?"

Harriet frowned, then asking after wondering some issues, "Who took Charlene as the agent?"

Molly sighed in frustration, "Charlene is the agent of Irene right now."

Harriet embarrassed Charlene openly the day when she came back to Pleasure Media. She must revenge her once she had chances. But she did not expect that she would rob her works for Irene. Charlene was the only one who knew clearly the boss was backing her.

Harriet was attentive to this matter, but she had not times to deal with it as there were lots of new troubles coming up later.

Two days after Harriet being discharged from the hospital, there was news of her hospitalization suddenly breaking out on the Internet. It was exaggerated at the beginning that she may have a cancer but some people sated that she just went to the hospital for heat stroke. Such a huge contrast made people think she was just acting to attract more attention.
