Chapter 195 - 195 In advance
195 In advance
Leon’s phone was placed in the fitting room along with his coat. In addition, music was playing in the studio to create the atmosphere, so no one present noticed the ringing of the phone.
Vivian had no choice but to call Frank. He had played Tetris all night until 3 o’clock the previous night and was now sleeping like a pig. His snoring had drowned out the ringing of his phone.
Vivian furrowed her brows. She thought about how Leon had said he had received a temporary job last night and would only be back today. She decided to go and pick him up herself. Otherwise, she would always feel uneasy and she would not be able to stay in S City.
Vivian asked Andy to arrange two teams, together with 20 to 30 guards and drove to Baston. The moment the car drove off, her palpitations eased a lot. This made Vivian overthink and she urged David to speed up.
Leon changed into two sets of clothes and the shoot took an hour and a half.
The photographer was very careful with each roll. He was reluctant to look at the second roll. He wanted to suggest that Judy add more, but he knew it was almost impossible. Judy was only generous to her male pets. If it weren’t for the fact the company had not replied to him yet, he would have run away long ago!
In the car, Vivian called Frank from time to time, and she finally got in touch with him half an hour away from Baston.
It wasn’t that Frank was woken up by the ringing, but Simon, who had gotten up and walked to the living room, heard the phone rang. After ringing a few times, he was worried Frank would miss something important, so he pushed open his door and woke him up to answer the phone.
With his eyes slightly open, Frank saw the answer button and pressed it. He then closed his eyes and smacked his lips, asking lazily, “Hello, who’s this?”
Vivian immediately replied, “Frank, I’m Aunt Vivian. Is Leon beside you? Tell him to answer the phone.”
Frank’s mind was still in a daze, and he was still drowsy.
Fortunately, the receiver was loud, and Simon, who was standing next to him, could hear it clearly.
Looking at Frank’s expression, Simon knew he couldn’t count on him to answer. Because he could hear the anxiety in Vivian’s tone, Simon couldn’t care less and directly picked up his phone and replied, “Aunty, it’s Simon. Leon has gone on to be a model for a magazine agency. It ends at around 12.”
Vivian quickly asked for the address, and Simon gave it to her. “Aunty, is there an emergency?”
Vivian briefly explained the situation. “Maybe I’m overthinking it. I’ll just go and pick up Leon. You don’t have to make another trip.”
Vivian hung up the phone after saying that, but Simon felt Vivian wouldn’t be so anxious if she didn’t have such a strong premonition. He thought for a moment and woke up Frank.
Frank, who had fallen asleep again, opened his eyes in a daze.
“Something might have happened to Leon,” Simon said with a serious expression. “Let’s go to the news agency to pick him up in advance and see if he’s all right.”
Did something happen? Leon?
The confused Frank suddenly sobered up and sat up. “What happened? Who dare to hit my brother? You’re treating me like I don’t exist!”
Simon helplessly rubbed his forehead and explained what had happened just now and his own guess in detail.
Frank rubbed his face hard with both hands and quickly got up to put on his clothes.”Then we have to hurry. We’re closer than Auntie. You have to find Joyce and contact her driver.”
Since no one had returned yesterday, Joyce’s father had asked the driver to find a nearby hotel to stay in. When Frank and the others went downstairs, the driver was already waiting by the roadside.
After Leon’s filming was over, he removed his makeup from the dressing table.
The sissy handed a cup of water to Leon and praised him in an exaggerated tone, “Leon, you’re really good at taking pictures! It’s been hard on you, have some water.”
He hadn’t had any water since he came out, and Leon happened to be a little thirsty. “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me,” the sissy replied with a smile. “Give me your contact information. I’ll look for you again if I have the chance.”
This round-trip ticket money was almost equivalent to the reward. This time, it was just a passing opportunity. Leon was not interested in spending time on this. He replied indifferently, “No need, I still have school.”
The sissy tried to persuade him with the excuse of a high salary. After all, his salary was related to Judy’s mood. He had to get this handsome boy. Thinking of this, the sissy became even more enthusiastic.
Leon felt that the other party’s enthusiasm made him very uncomfortable. After rejecting him again and again, he returned to the fitting room to change into his own clothes.
