Sorry! The Movie King Offers Too Much
Chapter 3
The bald man, having learned about the situation, came down with a troubled expression, circling around his car like a headless chicken.
His earlier arrogance towards me had vanished.
It was replaced by a cringing demeanor in the face of true wealth.
Seeing me approach, the bald man greeted me with a sycophantic smile, rubbing his hands together, "Ms. Krause, is this your friend's car? Could you move it? I have somewhere to go soon."
I laughed, "Sir, I preferred you when you were more arrogant."
The bald man blushed, clearly wanting to argue further.
"I don't believe you won't move your car. Are you just going to wait it out? If I can't drive, neither can you!"
Marvin spoke with restrained dignity, "Do you believe this is my family's cheaper car? I could have Bentley, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Cullinan, Bugatti Veyron, and Aston Martin take turns blocking your car. Do you believe that?"
The bald man, indignant, began to retort, "You're just boasting..."
Before he could finish, Marvin had removed his sunglasses.
With his national fame, everyone could recognize him in the country!
The bald man was left in tears.
Watching him grovel, I felt a sense of triumph.
Being the partner of a top actor was so cool!
…
Filming for One Thought to Demon was in full swing.
Besides the shooting, the hype around the fake couple was also progressing smoothly.
Marvin was always surrounded by paparazzi.
Thus, when photos of us dining and shopping together were leaked, it naturally stirred up a storm among netizens.
Initially, people were skeptical.
[Arielle? Who is she? What does she do? She's just a nobody with no fame!]
[A small-time actress! The most prominent role she's had is the third female lead, which was unknown to all.]
[Dating Marvin? How dare she!]
[She should have self-awareness! Marvin belongs to Krista. Stop hitching a ride shamelessly. It's disgusting!]
[Are you crazy for wanting to be famous?]
[If I were Marvin, I would definitely give her a good scolding!]
[But don't you see? Arielle may not be famous, but she has a big chest! Although her status isn't high, her figure is pretty good!]
The last comment was posted by me using a secondary account.
Knowing that paparazzi would be snapping pictures, I made up my face, wore contact lenses, and stuffed three layers of padding in my bra.
After all, this was my first chance to make headlines since entering the industry.
I had to look my best.
Unfortunately, the current netizens had terrible taste and were harsh, calling me "seductive" and "bitch".
Given the "seductive" part, I endured it.
Soon, the paparazzi kept their eyes on me.
They started to release more sensational news.
One of them captured a tearful confession from the bald man.
"Parking issues are quite distressing. Marvin bullied me with his luxury car."
This confirmed my relationship with Marvin indirectly.
Another photo showed me spending the whole night in Marvin's chauffeur-driven car at his home.
We were actually only playing the cheese.
However, netizens' imaginations ran wild, envisioning various scandalous scenarios.
Thus, the rumors about me and Marvin were everywhere!
Netizens were shocked.
Marvin's fans were heartbroken.
Fans of Krista were in tears.
Overnight, my social media traffic increased by 500 times, and my followers grew by 200 thousand people.
I gained followers faster than ever.
Most comments were insults about me.
[Mistress!]
[You interfered in Marvin's relationship with Krista!]
[I can't accept it!]
I was unperturbed and replied: [Marvin and I are a perfect match, born to be together. How dare you oppose?]
My Instagram comments were filled with curses.
Although I was alone in the fight, my combat spirit was strong!
I grew up in the streets, so I was particularly combative, feeling more energized the more I fought.
I continued to argue with various netizens until 3 a.m.
Just as I was starting to feel a bit sleepy...
With a buzz from my phone, the message said that 300 thousand dollars had been transferred to my bank account!
It was Marvin's "support money" for me!
I was fully revived!
Arguing with netizens was merely a pastime. Utilizing this scandal to promote the film was what the company cared about most.
The publicity department frequently released film-related information and arranged for reporters to visit the set.
I went from being unknown to the center of attention.
I even got my first interview opportunity.
I insisted on scheduling the interview at my home, not for any other reason, but to use the company's manpower to clean up the place for free.
I also had the publicity director help me sell some empty bottles. Forty bottles sold for 2.7 dollars.
Seeing me meticulously calculating whether I was cheated, the publicity director finally lost patience. "Stop calculating! The live broadcast is starting soon! Do you think I'm embezzling a few dollars from you?"
I chuckled awkwardly.
The interview began, streamed live online.
In addition to answering the reporter's questions, I also had to address viewers' online queries.
The reporter's questions were pre-approved and easy to handle.
However, viewers' questions were much trickier.
Although the livestream filtered out many vulgar comments, there were still plenty of insults.
They advised me to "take a look at your worth"!
Someone even asked if I cast a spell on Marvin.
The reporter also asked, "Ms. Krause, how did you become involved with Marvin? Who pursued whom? What is the current status of your relationship?"
The company's PR had prepared answers to these questions.
I met Marvin while filming, frequently seeking his guidance on scripts and acting.
Of course, I was the one who pursued him!
But it had to be emphasized that currently, we were just "good friends".
We were not the "lovers" people claimed we were.
Such explanations were purely formalities, like hiding one's true intentions.
But in the entertainment industry, that was how things were said.
True feelings never stayed, and only ambiguous relationships captured hearts.
However, I didn't want to answer this way.
To stand out, I needed to be different.
I decided to say something unconventional.
"Of course, it's because I'm beautiful and pure that I attracted Marvin.
"Who pursued whom? He's a gentleman, so naturally, he pursued me.
"As for the current status? Well, Marvin said from the first time he saw me, he already thought of names for our future children. It's just that I'm not ready for marriage yet. You can ponder that."
The publicity director, off to the side, was pissed off, but I didn't care.
Netizens were flooding the live chat with "vomiting" emojis.
They were claiming that I was boasting!
[She's gone mad!]
[If Marvin were to pursue you, I'd stand on my head!]
At that moment, Marvin, who wasn't supposed to be here, unexpectedly emerged from the kitchen in casual home attire.
"Arielle, the kitchen faucet was broken, so I fixed it for you."
He had been wearing a turtleneck, but it got wet while fixing the faucet, and the buttons were undone.
Sharp-eyed netizens discovered a startling secret!
[Look at Marvin's chest! A tattoo!]
[Damn! It's the word Arielle?]
