The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2408

"Some things are not as simple as it seems. What I'm doing now is just to prevent problems in the future."

Marius' words were too mysterious. Perhaps what he wanted to express was hard-hearted, that as glamorous as one's appearance was, it would be hard to avoid getting stabbed in the back.

Besides, she had been making things difficult for me these few day, and it was because of this that it was difficult for her to hide the fact that she was mean and narrow-minded. Ultimately, she was a terrible person.

"Oh, by the way, when did you see us? Why didn't you come here earlier and work with me to cut her off? I wouldn't have had to waste so much of my saliva talking, then."

I paused for a moment, still not registering the underlying meaning of his words. "I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose. Don't get me wrong."

Marius was so good at picking words. He only heard what he wanted to hear.

His face had been full of sadness but then his eyes instantly sparkled. If I had not known, I would have thought he had taken an adrenaline shot. He was standing before me like a peacock with its tail open. "What's there to get wrong? Let's talk about it." "Can you speak properly?"

It was a rarity that I thought he was being serious, yet before I could even be moved by it, I was a little speechless.

Marius smiled triumphantly, however, and said, "It's okay. I can guess it even if you don't say it. Actually, just now..."

Life and work had actually been a bit heavy and depressing these few day. If it were not for Marius' company and comfort, things might not have been as bearable.

Looking back on this, I wanted to give him my sincerest thanks. "Alright already. I admit I was a little glad that you didn't agree to be with her just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to get along with you in the future."

"Is that so? Would you be even more moved if I said that you're the reason I didn't agree to be with her?"

"Are you messing with me again?"

"I've never messed with you."

The atmosphere was ambiguous and suffocating when the director's voice sounded exceptionally clear from afar. "President Klein, President Lane, so you two are here. Come quickly, let's a group photo together. Everyone is waiting."

I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief before turning around and quickly leaving. Marius, who was following behind me, looked sullen and irritable at being disturbed. "Director, your timing couldn't be better.”

The director felt an inexplicable feeling of being disliked but did not know what had happened.

I finally had the chance to breathe after the shoot ended. I had been so busy with work that I did not get to enjoy life at all. Taking this opportunity to stay and rest for a few days was a good choice.

I looked at Marius, who was standing in front of me with his luggage, and said, "Don't you have some other work to do? Why are you staying with me?"

"Are you saying I don't need rest? Besides, don't we make money to spend money? Otherwise, we'd be a miser."

Marius always had a way to render me speechless.

However, it was livelier to have someone's company rather than be alone. At least, I would have someone to accompany me wherever it was I wanted to go. However, we bumped into Don again when we were out having fun.

Whatever I was dreading already happened. Marius looked like he had seen a ghost, and his tone was complaining. "Why are we letting him join us out of nowhere? I don't even know him." "You're going to treat him rudely just because you don't know him?"

"Hmph."

Dissatisfaction was written on Marius' face. I was stuck in a bind between the two of them, wondering to myself if I had come out to enjoy and relax or to suffer.
