A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Xandria couldn't believe what Ray had just said, but she didn't bother to call him out on it. 'How can he say such a thing when he already has a wife?' she furiously wondered.

A few floors from ground level, the elevator doors opened while Ray and Xandria were casually talking with each other. Then, a few young women entered the lift, seemingly without a care in the world. But as soon as they laid eyes on Ray's handsome face, they couldn't help but gape at him. When the elevator was almost at ground level, one of the women let go of her hesitation and asked, “Excuse me, I was just wondering, are you the leading man in that upcoming movie?“

For some reason, Ray didn't want to be exposed. So before Xandria could tell the truth, he quickly made up an excuse. “I'm sorry, but you have the wrong person. Even though I'm as handsome as an actor, I'm just an ordinary family man. I wish I was a celebrity, but my wife doesn't even let me go out of the house that much.“

When Ray finished speaking, the elevator doors opened. Before the women could ask any more questions, he and Xandria ran away as fast as they could.

They tried their best to not giggle until they reached the Arch of Triumph. When they did, they almost teared up from laughing too much. While they were teasing each other about the weird things that had happened that day, Perrin's car arrived.

“Hey, I hope you haven't forgotten that we were supposed to drink tonight if you finished early. Well then, is the party over?“ Perrin asked with a smile as he lowered his car window.

Xandria was extremely overjoyed to see him. She flew like a bird as she ran towards him.

When Perrin saw her coming, he opened the car door and lifted his arms to give her a hug.

“Mr. Shen, can you help me with these?“ Ray casually asked out loud while waving his hand at Perrin.

When Perrin looked over, he was shocked to see how many gifts Ray was carrying. Perrin had to step back before asking, “Are all of those really for her?“

“Oh, yes! People don't like me enough to give me this many gifts,“ Ray sarcastically replied.

“Wow! Okay, give me a sec. I'll just open the trunk,“ Perrin said with an enthusiastic nod.

While Perrin was busy packing everything in the car, Ray and Xandria couldn't stop giggling when their eyes met. Both of them had the same idea in mind. 'What would happened if Perrin found out that another handsome man had just proposed to his girl?'

“All right, I'm almost done packing everything up. I can't wait to watch today's show. I heard you guys received such a high rating today. Xandria, let's watch it together, okay?“

Even if Xandria truly appreciated her gifts from fans, she just stuffed them in the trunk and climbed right into the passenger seat. The only thing on her mind at that moment was to take a rest at home.

After a while, she realized that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she just told Perrin about what had happened in the elevator. “By the way, I almost forgot to tell you a funny story.
