Chapter 514 Bite the Neck
Edgar was already hurting, and the punch sent him stumbling back until he crashed into the table behind him.
He let out a muffled groan.
Sophia angrily slapped Alexander on the arm. "Why'd you hit him? He's the actor I hired. If you hurt him, the whole crew's in trouble."
Alexander glared at Edgar with cold eyes. "Why was Edgar hugging you? You won't let me hug you, so why him?"
"Alexander, you're being ridiculous. If Edgar gets hurt, I won't forgive you."
Sophia quickly ran to Edgar's side, concerned. "Edgar, you okay? Let me see."
Edgar clutched his waist and took a sharp breath. "The corner of the table hit my waist. I think it might be bruised."
"Let me check."
Sophia was about to lift Edgar's shirt when Alexander grabbed her wrist.
Alexander's eyes were like daggers, and his voice was icy. "Sophia, don't you know there's a difference between men and women?"
"Do you know how much money we'll lose if he's injured? Alexander, I have to support hundreds of people every day. Edgar's schedule is tight. If he gets hurt, it's not something you can just compensate for."
Seeing Sophia angry, Alexander's expression softened.
He reached out and ruffled Sophia's hair, his voice filled with grievance. "I was just jealous seeing him hug you. Don't be mad. Can I check him instead?"
Sophia pushed his hand away, annoyed. "Then hurry up."
"But you have to close your eyes and not look at his body."
"Alexander, are you serious? We've filmed several movies together. Do you think I haven't seen anything?"
Sophia and Edgar had acted as a couple in many scenes, including ones where they had to apply medicine to each other.
Hearing this, Alexander's jealousy grew.
He gritted his teeth and walked over to Edgar with the first aid kit.
Alexander's tone was commanding. "Lift your shirt."
Edgar's pain and frustration were cleared by Alexander's punch.
He could see Alexander's feelings for Sophia.
But Alexander had caused Sophia so much grief in the past, and as her friend, Edgar couldn't stand it.
Edgar looked at Sophia with puppy eyes. "Sophia, he's being mean. Can you help me?"
Alexander saw Edgar's act and gritted his teeth.
He softened his tone and spoke gently. "Lift your shirt and let me see."
Edgar finally smiled and lifted his shirt.
When Sophia saw the large bruise on Edgar's lower back, she scolded Alexander coldly. "He has action scenes that require wire work. His waist is the main point of stress. Look at the trouble you've caused."
With the earlier incident in mind, Alexander didn't dare act out again.
He spoke softly. "Don't worry, I'll apply some ointment. He'll be fine by tomorrow."
"Then hurry up."
Alexander poured some ointment onto his hand and pressed it onto Edgar's lower back.
Feeling the pressure, Edgar took a sharp breath.
It wasn't an act; it really hurt.
Alexander spoke kindly. "Bear with it. It'll be better soon."
He began to massage Edgar's lower back.
Though Alexander had forgotten much of his medical training, he still knew the basics.
His method was pretty effective.
After a few minutes, Edgar went from groaning to silence.
Seeing this, Sophia immediately asked, "Edgar, how do you feel?"
Edgar waved his hand at her. "I'm fine, much better. Sophia, I might need to crash at your place tonight. I can't cook for myself."
Hearing this, Alexander pressed harder and said coldly, "I'll order you takeout."
"Takeout isn't clean. I want to cook myself."
"Stop being difficult. Are you a man or not? I'll order the best for you."
"But I want Sophia's homemade fish and ribs."
Alexander's anger was boiling over.
He was about to explode.
At that moment, Sophia said, "Alright, you can come home with me after work. My mom was just talking about you the other day."
"Are you sure it's not a bother?"
"No bother at all. It's just a little extra cooking. I'll tell my mom to prepare it."
Hearing their conversation, Alexander's anger grew.
He looked at Sophia with puppy eyes. "Has your mom ever talked about me?"
Sophia glanced at him. "You go over every day. Does she need to?"
"That's different."
"Enough. Is Edgar okay now?"
"He's fine. Get up and move around."
Edgar stood up and moved his waist, smiling. "I didn't expect Mr. Cross to be so skilled. To avoid delaying filming tomorrow, how about another massage tonight?"
Alexander glared at him. "Don't push your luck."
Edgar smiled. "Am I? I'm just thinking about Sophia. If I delay a day, it will slow down the whole production and cost Sophia a lot. Mr. Cross, you wouldn't want Sophia's first movie to fail, right?"
Alexander gritted his teeth. "Fine, you can stay at my place tonight. I'll give you a proper massage."
"That's great. I won't be shy about it."
Seeing Edgar was okay, Sophia finally relaxed.
She took out her phone and called Felicia. "Mom, I'm bringing my friend Edgar over for dinner tonight. He wants your sweet and sour ribs and braised fish."
Felicia laughed. "Alright, I'll have everything ready. What does Alexander want? I'll prepare that too."
"Anything is fine."
Sophia hung up the phone.
Alexander stared at her. "That's it?"
"Yeah, my mom said she'll go to the market and cook herself."
Alexander wrapped his large hand around her waist, his eyes filled with jealousy.
"And what about me? Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Sophia chuckled. "You go over every day. Do I need to say anything?"
"That's different. If you say something, it shows you care. Sophia, you don't care about me at all."
Alexander's words were filled with a bit of grievance.
He acted like a big puppy, nuzzling against Sophia's shoulder.
It made Sophia's scalp tingle.
She patted Alexander's back. "Alexander, can you stop causing trouble here?"
Alexander nuzzled her shoulder, his lips brushing against her neck.
His voice was husky. "Sophia, if I were really causing trouble, it would look like this."
With that, Alexander leaned down and bit Sophia's neck.
