Chapter 186 We Have Fallen Into a Trap

Nora frowned slightly.
She said unhappily, "What are they doing? Haven't they been engaged long ago? Does Elliot want to make a proposal once again?"
Elliot was handsome and Lara was beautiful. She was wearing a white dress and standing there with a bunch of red roses in her arms, looking so happy and touched. They looked like a perfect match indeed. 
Looking at this, Clarissa smiled and said blandly, "It's quite pleasant to the eye."
"What?"
Nora couldn't react at once.
"I said that their postures look quite pleasing to the eye from this angle."
Nora was speechless.
She thought, "Mrs. Jordan, what's wrong with your mind?"
"He is your ex-fiance, and she is the mistress who stole your ex-fiance. How could you say that they are a perfect match?"
Clarissa looked away. When she saw Nora's shocked and complicated expression, she smiled.
"They're the same kind of despicable people, so they're a good match! We need to be more broad-minded, and don't always be unhappy with the same thing."
Nora didn't have as good self-restraint and grace as hers, and she immediately said with disdain, "He cheated on you but he shows off his love to Lara openly. How shameless he is! Bah!"
Clarissa laughed but didn't say anything, as if she hadn't seen this. She had no mood swings.
Although she didn't care, naturally someone else cared about this.
In the afternoon, this news was spread on the Internet.
The hot topic online was "The famous actress Lara was proposed by her rich boyfriend in the crew."
Netizens always liked to watch emotional gossip, especially this kind of sweet gossip that was comparable to the plot in dramas.
So many people praised them online, and even a small group of people became Elliot and Lara's coupling fans.
Of course, some people still thought that it was just a piece of play-acting, but their comments were few and were soon overwhelmed by Lara's enthusiastic fans.
Lara's situation seemed to be getting better.
The scandal that had been spread before the Spring Festival had gradually been forgotten by people as time passed by.
In addition, it was said that Lara had become reconciled with Clarissa and she was proposed by Elliot so sweetly that day.
She seemed to have more positive news than negative news.
In people's hearts, Lara's image was getting better little by little.
After all, most netizens were actually kind and forgetful.
Although a part of people who had good memories would mention the scandal in the comment area, Lara's fans immediately deleted their comments.
Every comment was in Lara's favour.
At night, Clarissa lay on the bed and looked at the comments, smiling.
She thought, "Just hype up and show off your love!"
"You'd better do something more to show how much he loves you."
"Let people think that you're a kind and pure fairy!"
"I hope you can be more arrogant, because only in this way will you be more painful and suffer more when your life is ruined!"
After swiping the screen, Clarissa was about to sleep.
A this moment, her phone dinged and she received a text message.
She had a look and found that it was sent by Alvin.
The content was very simple. He said that he wanted to teach her how to act the next day and asked her to go to his room. 
Clarissa glanced at the time, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.
They finished the shoot late at night, and the shoot would start early the next morning. It stood to reason that he would not teach her to act in the middle of night.
But thinking that Alvin was a workaholic, Clarissa silently put away her mobile phone, changed her clothes and went out.
Clarissa lived on the 13th floor and Alvin lived on the 12th floor.
Clarissa went out of the elevator all the way to the door of his room and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door was opened.
Alvin was still wearing the clothes he wore to work that day. Seeing her, he opened the door.
"You're here. I sent you a message so late at night. Did I disturb your rest?"
Clarissa shook her head and said as she entered the room, "No, I haven't slept yet. You said that I need to pay attention to some scenes. What are they?"
"Not many. You just need to pay attention in a few places. I'm afraid that I will forget it when I wake up tomorrow, so I must tell you at this time."
As Alvin said this, he spread the script, let her sit in a chair and focused on analysing the drama.
Clarissa was an actress of distinction and sensitivity. When she worked as a public relations manager, she occasionally helped actors study the script, so it was not difficult for her to understand Alvin's words.
Alvin was a careful and responsible director. He knew that this was Clarissa's first time to act in a drama and he needed to teach her more. Therefore, he marked many places that required special attention in red ink.
After listening to him carefully, Clarissa exchanged her ideas with him. Unknowingly, one hour had passed.
During this period of time, a waiter came in and sent them a meal.
Seeing that Alvin was still eating at this time, Clarissa asked him and learnt that he was busy watching the videos at night and hadn't eaten dinner yet.
He had dinner and midnight snack together at this time.
Clarissa felt respect for him and took a cup of tea handed by the waiter. After drinking, she chatted with him for a while before she got up to leave.
However, just as she walked to the door, she felt so dizzy.
She immediately held on to the wall and shook her head, but her head was spinning. Then she fainted and lost conscience.
When she woke up, it was the next day.
Clarissa opened her eyes in a daze and saw a white ceiling. The chandelier in the hallway was still shaking in front of her eyes. The strange and familiar furnishings made her head ache.
She closed her eyes and subconsciously reached out to rub her head. When she touched the carpet under her body, she suddenly came to sense and realized something. She immediately jumped from the ground.
This was not her room! It was not her bed either!
She was lying on the ground!
What happened?
What had happened last night flashed through her mind quickly. She suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale.
Quickly looking around, she saw that everything in the room was neatly arranged, while Alvin was sitting on a single sofa by the window with his head tilted and his eyes closed. Apparently, he was still in a coma.
Half of the meal dropped on the ground, and the soup ran all over the floor, staining the entire carpet around his feet.
Clarissa hurried over and pushed him to wake up.
Alvin frowned and rubbed his head before he said, "What's the matter? Huh? Why are you in my room so early?"
With her face darkened, Clarissa said coldly, "We have fallen into a trap!"
Alvin was stunned.
Alvin was a little slow on the uptake because of the drug effects. It took several seconds before he remembered something.
Looking down, he saw the overturned food on the ground and suddenly understood.
"D*mn it! Which b*stard did this!"
"Stop talking. Someone is coming."
Clarissa's face was gloomy. She had a good hearing, so she naturally heard the hurried and messy footsteps in the corridor outside.
She glanced at Alvin. Alvin understood and his expression changed. He said anxiously, "They want to ruin you! What should we do? How about you finding a place to hide?"
