Chapter 225 Preparing For the Meeting

“What? Don’t tell me you really think this engagement is still necessary?”

“Lamont, don’t forget we have an engagement between us. I have already set my heart on you a long time ago.”

Leila spoke carefully, almost reaching out to grab him

“Is that so? But I don’t remember it. In my memory, you’re already a thing of the past. Don’t delude yourself anymore, or I won’t give you face like I did today,” Lamont said coldly before brushing past her.

“Wait, Lamont, how can you be so heartless? Our engagement was your promise. What should I do if you suddenly break your promise?”

Leila cried out with a broken heart.

“Just do whatever you see fit.”

Lamont said coldly before getting into his car and driving away.

Leila watched Lamont leave with her heart full of sadness.

She directed all of her grievances and resentment toward Amelie.

“If it weren’t for Amelie, how could Lamont treat me like this?”

She then pulled out her phone, made a call, and walked away.

Amelie didn’t head straight to the address. She instead made a call to Belen to ask for assistance in caring for Emilee first.

She still needed to go back to the set to film, and even if she couldn’t, she had to ask Mr. Thomson for a leave of absence.

It was better to do that kind of thing in person to show sincerity.

She had already packed her stuff and was prepared to leave when Belen arrived.

Amelie got a call from Lamont as soon as she went downstairs.

She hesitated for a long time before deciding not to answer.

She didn’t want Lamont to be aware of her predicament in case it led to any problems.

After the call ended, she continued walking along the road..

“Why didn’t you pick up the phone?”

Unexpectedly, a car door opened, revealing a recognizable person in front of her.

It was Lamont.

Amelie was taken aback and promptly retreated a couple of steps.

“Why did you come here?” She asked with a weird expression. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“If I didn’t come over, I wouldn’t have known that you didn’t want to answer my phone call at all.”

“No, that’s not it, I just…‘

Amelie wanted to explain quickly, but she couldn’t find the words.

Until now, she didn’t really have the mood to care about so much.

Lamont stopped talking when he realized how depressed she was.

“Where are you going? I’m coming with.”

Hearing his proposal, Amelie instantly shook her head. “No, it is not necessary. You should leave, Mr. Byron. I’m only going to the set of the movie to take care of some business.”

She didn’t want him to spend any more time or energy on him, especially since this matter also involved Emilee’s reputation. If more people knew about it, it would be deeply hurtful for her.

“What are you not telling me? Why don’t you tell me?”

Lamont’s emotions became agitated, and he stared at her intently.

“I’m not…”

“You’re not? If not, then where are you going now? I’ll go with you.”

Seeing Lamont’s insistence, she could only stop saying more.

“Since Mr. Byron wants to come along, then come. It’s not like I can’t stop you anyway.”

As she spoke, she walked over to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.

As she was about to get in the car, Lamont pulled her back

“There is a car here.”

Before Amelie could react, he directly took her to the passenger seat.

She still hadn’t fully reacted after getting into the car.

“Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there.”

Only then did Amelie come back to his senses, and look at him calmly.

“Mr. Byron, why do you still act like such a tyrant? Why don’t you give me a bit more room?”

Lamont didn’t mind and leaned closer to her.

Amelie immediately became nervous and couldn’t say much. Her heart was beating faster and faster.

However, she became extremely embarrassed by his next action.

He leaned directly in front of Amelie, with a smile on his face, and fastened her seat belt for her.

At first, she thought Lamont was going to do something to her. When she realized what he was doing, she felt extremely

awkward.

“Let’s not argue about anything else. Today, I’ll just be your driver. So, where do you want to go?”

Amelie didn’t have the energy to argue with him anymore and gave in.

“We’re going to Easter Town. That’s where the next scene will be shot.”

99.77%

“Right, then off we go.”

Lamont said without asking any further questions. He stepped on the gas pedal, and the car quickly left.

The filming was taking place in a small mountain village where the scenery was beautiful, but the weather was getting hotter day by day.

If it weren’t for Amelie’s ability to cope, the production of the show would have been temporarily suspended, as the intense heat could cause uncomfortable.

Upon arriving at the filming location, she immediately asked for leave from Mr. Garcia.

At first, Mr. Garcia was very hesitant because Amelie was the female lead, and if she couldn’t participate for several days, it would have a significant impact on the filming schedule.

“Mr. Garcia, I’m really sorry. I do have an urgent matter to attend to. This drama is equally important to you and me. Fortunately, the current scenes are focused on the second female lead and other characters. Please be assured that I will rush back before my scenes are shot.”

Mr. Garcia intended to continue, but unintentionally caught a glimpse of a Maybach driving past on the adjoining road and realized what was going on.

“Alright, fine, you can go ahead. If you have any problems, please call me anytime.”

He didn’t dare say much, as he recognized the car and knew that its owner was not someone ordinary.

Amelie nodded promptly and said, “Thank you very much, Chris.”

She turned and left, but just a few steps away, she ran into Cynthia.

She saw that Cynthia had already changed her makeup and was getting ready to film.

When Cynthia saw Amelie, she quickly walked over and called out to her.

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

Normally, Amelie wouldn’t have paid her any attention, but Cynthia’s attitude was a bit different this time.

Amelie took a closer look at her and explained vaguely.

“I have something to do, so I took a leave of absence. Do your best while I’m gone.”

After saying that, Amelie left and got into a Maybach.

Lamont had already been waiting inside the car for some time and was about to get out when she came back.

“Where to next?”

“There’s something I want to figure out, but I want to do it alone. Can you…”

“No, I said today I’m your full–time driver, and I have to ensure your safety. No matter what you say, it’s no use.”

Amelie was powerless when she noticed how persistent he was.

“I have a lot on my plate. It’s not a good idea to keep pursuing me in this manner… Whatever, take me to the pier.”

“The pier? What are you going to do at the pier?”

Lamont’s brow furrowed. He knew about Emilee’s situation, and now that Amelie wanted to go to the pier, there must be some conspiracy involved.
