Chapter 1093
Kieran's tone was very calm, neither blaming nor seeking credit.
However, Lila came to help with the shoot today without any pay. With her help, Elisha and the producer should remember her contribution.
It was at this moment that Lila realized Kieran had a much richer inner world than she'd thought.
"But it's all good now, right?" Kieran asked Lila.
Lila nodded, indeed everything was fine.
She had just eaten and was feeling full.
A hint of guilt flashed across Elisha and the producer's faces.
"So Lila's poor complexion this afternoon was because she wasn't feeling well! God, she was so in character that I didn't even notice. This was our oversight!"
The producer went to open the door for Lila, gesturing for her to go ahead.
Lila just smiled and glanced at Kieran.
She wanted Kieran to deal with the producer.
She wasn't very good with words.
Kieran cleared his throat, deliberately not speaking, as if he wanted Lila to beg him.
Lila immediately squinted her eyes.
Kieran clicked his tongue.
He seemed to nearly wilt under her threatening gaze.
Kieran went to handle things for Lila.
Lila went out first.
Soon, by the car, Lila waited for Kieran.
Kieran opened the car door for Lila, "Get in, superstar!"
"Thanks, boss." Lila smiled at him, her eyes curved, gentle and beautiful.
Kieran sighed, "Don't mention it."
Lila sat in the passenger seat.
Only then did Kieran get in the car, "I told them about your condition without your permission. Sorry about that."
"It's okay, thank you, Mr. Getty. Otherwise, I would have had to tell Elisha myself that I wasn't feeling well today, and if the shoot didn't go well, they should cut my part."
Lila smiled.
But Kieran knew Lila was just being polite.
It could be said that both of them were too smooth, very good at dealing with people.
On the way, Lila felt a bit drowsy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Kieran on the phone, saying, "I'm not convenient to talk right now, I'll call you back later."
Clearly, there was nothing inconvenient.
The car was very quiet.
After a while, he asked, "Lila, are you asleep?"
Normally, Lila would ignore him, pretending to be asleep, too tired to say another word.
But today, for some reason, Lila turned her head resting on the backrest towards him, "No."
"I overheard your conversation with Cecilia. I'm curious why you would help introduce her. She obviously looks down on you, can't you see that?" Kieran said.
"Of course I can see that, I just can't be bothered to argue with her. This industry is tough, and it's better to avoid trouble. So, I genuinely don't mind and wanted to introduce her. It's always good to network." Lila's tone was calm, but her gaze on Kieran's profile gradually deepened. "But she did say some pretty nasty things about us."
Kieran laughed. "What did she say about us?"
"She said..."
Actually, she didn't say much, just that the two of them were showing off!
However...
Lila suddenly changed the words.
"She said you're my sugar daddy."
