The Millionaire Supporting Actress
Chapter 3
The meal was tasteless.
After that, Mike and Richard fighting over Claudia, pouring water and passing things to her.
Richard must regret faking a romantic relationship with me. How could he still pursue his Charming Princess?
But I just watched them perform with their own ulterior motives.
After the meal, Mike and Claudia left.
Looking at her leaving, Richard's eyes dimmed noticeably.
I propped my head with my hand and looked at his sad appearance. I felt a little sorry for this rich man, who was actually good-looking.
"Richard, I have something to do later. I won't be able to accompany you for the next few days. Can you handle it yourself?"
Richard gritted his teeth, "I'll pay you extra, okay?"
I complained in my heart, "You're not the only one paying extra."
But I still chose to comfort him. I put on a smiling face, leaned over, and buried myself in his arms, "Don't be angry, Richard. Let me give you a hug."
He hugged me.
I added, "But today I'm unavailable. I made an appointment with a friend. He has been waiting for me for two weeks. Can I make it up to you on the weekend, for free?"
He was furious and shouted my name, "Claire, don't push your luck!"
I helplessly replied, "Then I'll stay with you for a while, and when you feel a little bit better, I'll leave."
He was being unreasonable, "Claire, you have to accompany me tonight."
I didn't know what to say.
But in the end, I still managed to escape and left in a hurry.
Not long after I left, Richard bombarded me with a bunch of phone calls.
I casually answered, "What's up?"
"Claire... you're unbelievable!"
"I'll make it up on Saturday, but I have to go fulfill my commitment now."
Yann originally wanted to pick me up, but I didn't dare to let him meet Richard, so I declined and took the subway myself. It was also very close.
I sent a text to another patron on the subway, who I was supposed to meet every Friday.
Me: [Sorry, I can't come tomorrow but Sunday.]
After a while, he replied with a 'OK'.
He was the only person who knew about my other clients. Before finding me, he investigated me thoroughly and then asked if I was willing to have an additional source of income. I gladly agreed and let him choose between blank Tuesday and Friday. The he chose Friday.
It didn't take long to reach Yann's home, which was only a few blocks away.
As soon as the door opened, I saw he actually took off his black-framed glasses. I had never seen him without the pair of glasses, but his good look stunned me for a moment.
He smiled and asked, "Do I look good?"
I sincerely replied, "Yeah, you look good."
Yann's handsome face turned slightly red. He led me to the living room, next to which was an open kitchen.
He was indeed charming because of his sincerity, especially when he was cooking.
I couldn't help but tell him, "If you take off your glasses and cook a meal for Claudia, I think she will have a good impression of you."
He paused.
I thought that what I said might have enlightened him, so I continued, "You can't win over Claudia, only because you didn't know how to show your charm before."
When Yann heard this, he turned around and looked straight into my dark eyes.
He asked, "What about you?"
I didn't understand his ambiguous sentence and asked, "Huh?"
He asked seriously, "I want to ask, if it were you, would you like someone like... like me?"
My mind froze for a moment.
Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, he visibly became nervous.
He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm just kidding."
I looked away, "Oh, okay."
I didn't understand what he tried to know.
Maybe because Claudia and Mike had got too close, he felt like he had no chance, so he wanted to keep me around.
