Chapter 1276 Rising to Power Through Looks and Figure
"Mr. Howard, this is this year's new coffee bean blend with roses. It tastes great and is a bestseller in this shop," Theodosia said as she poured the coffee, casually moving closer to Adrian.
Adrian's gaze was indifferent. "Are you the guide Finnian hired?"
Theodosia smiled, seeing Adrian take the initiative to talk to her, she became even more enthusiastic, her voice even more coquettish.
"I'm not a guide, I'm Mr. Harrington's friend. I've always lived in Suncrest City, so I'm quite familiar with it. I just happened to have some time, so I'm helping Mr. Harrington out."
Finnian had told her that this man was a big shot.
Just how powerful, Finnian didn't elaborate.
Theodosia was Finnian's old flame in Suncrest City. Every time Finnian came, she would meet up with him a few times.
This time, helping Finnian was just a small favor since she knew Suncrest City well.
But what Theodosia didn't expect was that this "Mr. Howard" was so young and handsome. At first glance, her heart was already captivated.
Theodosia had been to some high-end places with Finnian and had met some CEOs, but a man who was both wealthy and good-looking like this was a first for her.
If she could be with a man like this, she would do anything.
Theodosia was quite satisfied with her own figure. She didn't believe "Mr. Howard" wouldn't like it. Her figure was much better than that of that female celebrity.
Didn't that female celebrity also rely on her figure and looks to climb up the ladder? With Finnian's strong support and the backing of a wealthy patron, she was on the same path as Penelope.
"Mr. Howard," Theodosia seemed to stumble and half-fell into Adrian's arms, looking pitifully at him.
Adrian raised his hand and pushed her away in disgust. "Get lost!"
Theodosia's face showed shock.
What?
Did she mishear?
"Mr. Howard, you really don't know how to cherish a woman," Theodosia said, feeling wronged. "Mr. Howard, don't be angry."
But what she didn't expect was that Adrian was completely unmoved. He took out his phone and made a call.
Two minutes later, two bodyguards came up from downstairs, grabbed Theodosia by both arms, and dragged her out.
Theodosia struggled. "What are you doing? I'm Mr. Harrington's person! How dare you treat me like this!"
The two bodyguards dragged her out.
Adrian looked up and saw Natalie standing at the door. Natalie walked in and sat opposite Adrian.
Neither of them mentioned what had just happened, as they didn't want to bring up something that would spoil the mood.
The waiter came and served the dishes.
Outside, the midday sun was warm and bright, with light streaming through the rose garden, casting a beautiful ripple of colors.
"So, where are we going this afternoon?" Natalie asked, taking a sip of her rose drink.
"Where do you want to go? If you don't have a specific place in mind, why not accompany me for a walk?"
Natalie didn't expect that Adrian would take her to a film studio in the afternoon.
This film studio specialized in period dramas.
Besides "My Heart, Bright Moon," there were several other crews filming.
Natalie's crew was currently shooting palace scenes, which were grand and magnificent.
Adrian said, "I want to see where you film."
"Sure, I'll give you a good tour of this place," Natalie said with a gentle smile.
"There are several tourist areas open to visitors. Except for a few palaces currently being used for filming, the rest are open to the public. There aren't many people here right now."
