Chapter 34
"My first night was taken away by a stranger," Shen Shuyao muttered as she finished eating, then raised her head and said softly.
"What did you say?!" Ji Nian was shocked and immediately stood up. The female lead was slept with by someone else? That can't be possible!
Shen Shuyao lowered her head with tears dripping down her legs, and said hoarsely, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have gone to the dinner party. If I hadn't gotten drunk, I wouldn't have walked into the wrong room..."
Ji Nian grasped the keywords "walked into wrong room" and suddenly understood. The plot has arrived! The book wrote that the female lead was forced by her agent to go to a dinner party and got drunk by the lecherous director.
By a stroke of bad luck, she walked into the wrong room and encountered the drugged tyrannical boss male lead, and that was how the two of them began their relationship...
"When did this happen?" Ji Nian was excited that the plot has arrived, but still asked with a concerned look on her face.
Shen Shuyao looked up, despair in her eyes as she looked at the woman and said painfully, "Last night."
"Should we report this to the police?" Ji Nian asked. Her heart was thumping, afraid that the female lead would really go report this.
"Absolutely not!" Shen Shuyao said agitatedly, fear in her eyes. "Besides...I'm an actress, I can't let scandals get out..." After finishing, Shen Shuyao broke down crying.
Ji Nian comforted her, gently patting her back, trying to get her to calm down.
Shen Shuyao leaned her chin on the woman's shoulder, her whole body leaning against her embrace. Extremely aggrieved, she said, "I know we're all adults, but I...I just feel awful."
"It's okay. Since we can't solve this by going to the police, we'll just treat it as a one night stand. What did the man say?" Ji Nian consoled. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
Shen Shuyao was stunned for a moment. She suddenly recalled the cold and aloof face of the man when she woke up that morning, his deep and profound eyes filled with shock. She recognized that man, he was a famous figure.
"He told me to take a check," she murmured softly, confusion in her eyes.
Ji Nian was shocked. She silently admired to herself, how come no man has given her a check? She suddenly felt very envious.
"Did you take it?" Ji Nian asked.
Ji Nian knew the plot. The female lead's first agent wasn't a good person. Overtly and covertly, she wanted the female lead to trade her body for better resources.
"What kind of agent is this, engaging in such dirty deeds." Ji Nian couldn't help but criticize.
Shen Shuyao looked very aggrieved, her eyes red. Angrily she said, "The company won't care too much about this either, they tacitly allow these things to happen in private."
"It's okay, no one can force you if you don't want to. Don't get angry over these irrelevant people." Ji Nian consoled her.
At this time, Shen Shuyao was really tough, even daring to argue with her agent. If she hadn't been forced to attend that dinner party, nothing would have happened last night. The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt.
"You must be tired too. Do you want to go rest first?" Seeing Shen Shuyao's somewhat weary expression, Ji Nian asked.
Shen Shuyao looked over with a pair of tearful eyes, red from crying, filled with innocence and grievance. She asked, "Are you leaving?"
Ji Nian was startled. She asked, "Do you want to be alone then?"
Shen Shuyao shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again. She answered, "I'm scared alone."
"I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you today." Seeing her helpless state, Ji Nian coaxed, "Go sleep for a bit first, I'll be with you."
Shen Shuyao nodded. She held on to Ji Nian's hand tightly, slowly walking to the bedroom. Opening the door, she lowered her head and said, "Stay with me."
Ji Nian was stunned for a moment but nodded. The female lead needed company! In the future there would be wealth and prestige, she had to cling on to Shen Shuyao's coattails.
"Alright, I'll accompany you."
