Chapter 225 As Long As You Like It
Anderson's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't seem to be happy!
Didn't she like red roses?
He quickly explained, "You have been filming tiredly recently, so I sent you something to make you happy!"
Clarissa sneered, "Then why didn't you pack yourself and send you to me?"
Hearing this, Anderson immediately felt happy.
"Really? Could I?"
Clarissa gritted her teeth.
She patted her forehead helplessly.
She... shouldn't have said that!
She coughed awkwardly and didn't want to continue this topic, so she said, "Alright, I received the flowers. They are pretty, and I like them very much."
Well, sometimes she should appreciate his kindness.
Although she was indeed a little happy at first, she felt that those flowers were an obstruction in the way. It was a pity to throw them away, and it was not very good to send them to others.
But when she thought that it was Anderson's compliment and thought of the words on the card, she felt that she couldn't discourage him.
She didn't want to make him sad.
Sure enough, Anderson was in a good mood when he heard that.
"As long as you like it. If you want something, just tell me and I'll ask someone to send it to you."
Clarissa said quickly, "No, it is enough! Don't do it again the next time."
It was not because she didn't want show off their love, but that Anderson's identity was special.
In order to avoid people's attention and keep the relationship between her and Anderson secret, it was better to be low-key.
When Anderson heard her words, he was immediately unhappy.
"I feel that you despise me very much."
Clarissa laughed with embarrassment.
"How dare I? But that was really too eye-catching, and people would think that I was keeping up with the joneses."
Anderson smiled.
"So what? As your husband, I don't allow you to suffer any grievance."
Clarissa was speechless.
"Okay, it's up to you. Alright, it's late and I'm going to hang up."
Anderson said a few more words in a hurry and hung up the phone.
In the next few days, everyone found that the crew seemed to have become a comparison show.
No matter what Lara received, Clarissa would always receive a same but more luxurious gift.
For example, if Elliot sent Lara nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers, Clarissa would receive nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers.
If Lara received a diamond ring, Clarissa would receive a super-large, shiny and more exquisite diamond ring.
If Lara received a high-end dress, there would definitely be a world-famous designer who personally came to the crew to customize dresses for Clarissa.
Everyone was shocked.
How was going on? That man was super rich!
Wasn't it said that Clarissa tried to ruin the relationship between Lara and Elliot? Who sent her so many gifts?
The gifts bought by the man were more luxurious than Elliot's gifts, and he was not afraid of offending Elliot at all.
It proved that he must be more powerful than Elliot.
Was he Clarissa's new boyfriend?
Everyone discussed about it and made all kinds of guesses.
Regarding this matter, Clarissa was very helpless.
Although she felt uneasy to be stared at with gossiping eyes every day, it was worth it when she saw Lara's awkward and angry expressions again and again.
Rumors begun to spread in crew.
Those who liked to stir up trouble helped Lara ostracize Clarissa when they saw that Elliot treated Lara very well.
However, Clarissa was basking in the adulation of a rich man these days. They were extremely astonished and jealous when they saw that Clarissa received a large and unique ruby two days ago.
The ruby was not something ordinary people could get, and they couldn't buy it even though they were rich.
It was usually collected by some super-rich people, but that man actually sent it to Clarissa, which meant that he was not only with very high status but also really generous to Clarissa!
In such a situation, if they still didn't understand that they couldn't afford to offend Clarissa, they were really unwise.
As a result, they immediately spoke for Clarissa.
They spoke ill of Lara more harshly and ostracized her more indifferently than how they treated Clarissa.
Lara had never been mocked and targeted like this, so she immediately got furious.
However, while they spoke sarcastically, they didn't name her, so she couldn't lose her temper and became even more depressed.
That night, it was said that Clarissa received a set of top-quality red coral jewelry. The color and workmanship were almost perfect. It was even said to be the dowry of a princess in the Middle Ages, and it could be regarded as an antique.
Many people in the crew saw the set of jewellery, and they were all amazed, so they were all talking about it during dinner.
Lara sat aside with her meal. While listening to their discussion, she was jealous and resentful.
How could this sl*t be spoiled like this?
Although she didn't see the red coral jewelry in person, she had seen it in a magazine a few years ago when it was auctioned.
It was indeed very beautiful. It was said that it was bought by a mysterious man at the price of more than 300 million dollars.
Thinking about it at the moment, she knew that the mysterious man must be Anderson.
She felt that Anderson was really stupid. He actually used such expensive jewelry to please a mistress?
Ha!
It was ridiculous.
Thinking of this, she should be disdainful, but she felt a bit enviable for no reason.
She thought that she was not inferior to Clarissa. Why could Clarissa own such a precious thing but she couldn't?
What Lara couldn't stand most was the eyes of those people.
They looked at her with mocking and scornful eyes, as if she was a joke.
Lara was about to have a nervous breakdown under such gaze.
Finally, that night, Lara couldn't stand it anymore, and she asked Elliot to send her some more expensive gifts on the phone.
When Elliot heard this request, he thought Lara was crazy for an moment!
"What do you want such expensive jewelry for? Didn't I give you several rings and necklaces?"
Lara gritted her teeth secretly.
"So what? You know what? Now Clarissa can receive all kinds of rare and exotic treasures every day. Today she even received a set of fine red coral jewelry. I just want some better gifts. Is it too much?"
Elliot was speechless.
"So, you just want to keep up with the Joneses?"
Lara bit her lip in embarrassment.
"Elliot, don't worry. I won't let you send me these gifts in vain. You know the rules in this circle. She and I are in the same crew. If she is better than me in every aspect, some luxury brands will definitely give priority to her and will not consider me. I do this for my future."
Elliot sneered sarcastically.
