Chapter 27 – I Will Help You!
The girl looked surprised at Larry while asking back, "You know who I am?".
Larry looked back at the girl with a laugh. "Hahahaha… We just met, how do I know you?".
Hearing Larry's answer, the girl felt a headache. Frustrated, the girl cried and ruffled her long hair.
"What a shame, I'm an A-class artist, how come you don't know me?". Said the girl angrily.
Larry was shocked.
"Is she crazy? A class artist? Is she dreaming of becoming a famous artist?". Larry thought.
"Today was unlucky, I was involved in a scandal with a well-known businessman in this city. Photos of me sleeping together spread on social media and the internet. Even though I didn't know about all that. After that my contract was canceled and I was asked to pay a fine for harming the company, even though I've been contributing to the company for years, my assistants and managers left me, my fans cursed and left me, and now those reporters are after me mercilessly." The girl told the bad things that had happened today while sobbing.
Larry swallowed deeply, he gave the girl a tissue to clear her snot.
"The point is that you are being slandered as an artist who is willing to sleep with a rich businessman just to gain popularity, is that so?". Larry asked after he saw that the girl had calmed down.
The girl's eyes bulged sharply as if ready to eat her prey.
Larry was horrified at the sight of the beautiful girl beside him.
"She's scarier than Michael." Larry thought.
"Why are you glaring like that?" asked Larry after some thought.
"Because you also accuse me of the same as them". The girl was crying again because she felt Larry was accusing her too.
"Ok sorry! Now can you tell me the truth! How can you be slandered?".
Larry didn't like seeing girls cry in front of him because for him it was a failure.
The girl sighed and said without hesitation and embarrassment, even though she just met Larry.
"I was framed by my rival, she asked me to meet her at the hotel. When I entered the hotel room, suddenly a man hugged me from behind. After that I don't remember anything. After realizing I was alone in the room. That incident made my family angry and I didn't dare to go home, even my father sent bodyguards to pick me up but I ran away!". The girl said while crying.
Larry listened to the girl's story while driving slowly.
"I explained to the agency but they didn't believe me. They said I was an artist who was not young and was involved in a disgusting scandal, so they had to cancel my contract to clear the company's good name". Said the girl again continued the story.
"It seems this girl is honest because from the tone of her voice it sounds straightforward. Should I help her?". Larry thought.
"If you feel it's unfair, why don't you find a solution instead of crying? Because crying won't solve the problem". asked Larry.
"I am an artist with no connections. So, there is no place to ask for help. My mind is also stuck so I can't find a solution. And worst of all, I ran away from my house so my parents couldn't help me". The girl replied with a frown.
Larry smiled. "I can help you. But, let's not talk in the car, how about we find a place?".
The girl's eyes shone brightly when she heard someone was willing to help. However, she still couldn't believe it because she had only just met this man.
"He wants to help me? Is he going to ask for conditions? Could it be that he thinks that I am a naughty artist so he makes it a condition to help me?". The girl thought as she glanced at Larry.
Larry noticed that the girl looked worried, and immediately smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person!"
"Okay, if you really want to help me. Then we talk at my best friend's house and she will be the witness! How?". The girl said as she extended her hand towards Larry who was driving.
"Okay. But, may I know your name?".
"Just call me Jennifer!" Jennifer replied.
Larry just nodded, after which Jenifer gave him the address of the house that Sophia had rented.
Not long after that, Larry's car stopped in front of the small gate of the house that was rented by Sophia.
"Shopia…". Jennifer knocked on the door and shouted for Sophia because she knew that today was a holiday.
"Wait a moment!". said Sophia from inside the house.
Not long after that, Sophia opened the door and found Jennifer with a strange man at the door.
"Is he Jennifer's new boyfriend?" Inner Sophia.
Larry was stunned for a moment when he heard Jenifer say Sophia's name over and over again.
"Shopia … ? Is she Sophia, she is referring to Michael's ex-wife? If so, is this the face of a woman who is able to lock Michael's heart tightly from the temptations of other women".. Larry thought tensely.
