“I didn’t have anything with Mr. Kentala, and going out for lunch was also for discussing business,” Elisa explained.
“What business is so important that you had to discuss it at lunch? Can you tell me?” Osvaldo sat beside her with keen interest, looking as if he was waiting to hear some gossip.
“We discussed the current hot topics and how to resolve them quickly.”
“You discussed the afternoon’s hot topics during lunch?” Osvaldo suddenly realized, “Did you already know that you and Mr. Kentala would be a hot topic this afternoon?”
“After all, I was photographed as soon as I entered the restaurant.”
“If you were photographed, why didn’t you chase after them?”
Elisa retorted, “Could I catch up? You know how fast those paparazzi run.”
That’s true.
“But I still don’t understand. What I mean is, if you knew from the beginning that it would cause such a big stir, why did you do it? Did you want the attention? It’s unnecessary. This just whitewashes Lorelei.”
“It’s better if it causes a stir. I’m just afraid of making a lot of noise but achieving little,” Elisa said as she raised her hand to touch her hair.
Do you know about gathering seafood? You can only gather more after high tide.
“Go look at your script; I don’t want to have the shooting interrupted with you,” Osvaldo grumbled, “You’re as strict as Mr. Kentala.”
“It’s a basic requirement for actors. If you want to make a living in this industry, you have to improve your acting skills and get it right the first time. This way, we won’t waste everyone’s time.”
Finally, Osvaldo left after being lectured by Elisa. She looked at her phone screen and the misty sky: the fish had come in, and it was time to go online.
Elisa switched accounts and logged into the company account. Her newly verified Twitter account had already gained a lot of followers, and there were many private messages and comments, most of which were from Lorelei’s fans.
Elisa knew that Lorelei’s only reliance now was the A. W Group, so she dared not offend her. The messages she sent to Lorelei were soft and gentle, asking her to treat Lorelei better, as she was the only “cash cow” after the acquisition of X Entertainment.
She would definitely treat Lorelei well.
Elisa began to edit the text, adding the termination letter. It wasn’t the right time to post it now. According to statistics, the peak internet usage for the day was at 8 PM, with eighty to ninety percent of internet users staying online until 11 PM, and then it starts to decline in the early morning.
The hot topic would ferment faster at that time, and Lorelei would have to pay more.
Elisa would have night scenes to shoot, so she might not have time to post it. She could only edit it and set it to be sent later, and she also informed Asher.
But no matter how she tried to set the timing for the post, her phone kept freezing, and it ended up becoming a mess of garbled text.
At this point, Elisa didn’t think much of it and just assumed it was because of the poor network connection when switching accounts.
She saved the tweet and, since she couldn’t send it, she handed it over to her assistant to be posted at the right time.
After giving the instructions, her Twitter returned to normal. She glanced at the top and saw a red hot topic that appeared in her sight.
#Louis Car Accident#
On the other side, Asher also noticed the hot topic, instinctively looking for Elisa, but when he looked over, there was no sign of her.
“Where’s Elisa?” Asher asked Osvaldo.
Osvaldo turned to look, finding her spot empty. He scratched his head, “She was just here, where did she go?”
The photographer on the side interjected, “Mr. Kentala, I just saw Elisa running with her phone, her face as white as a sheet and looking panicked. Did something happen?”
Indeed, something had happened, something big. Her husband had been in a car accident and was injured. Of course, she would run off in a panic.
Asher prayed in his heart, hoping Louis would be okay.
There weren’t many people who were good to Elisa, and there was only one person like Louis, who was willing to step back from the entertainment industry for her. There was only Louis.
When you meet someone you like, you should go for it. Don’t wait until you lose them to regret it.
Asher’s phone kept vibrating, and when he checked, it was from his secondary account following ElsaWhite’s fan page, with messages filled with prayers, hoping that Louis would be okay.
…
Elisa felt as if something was stuck in her throatShe hailed a cab on the roadside and got in, not knowing where to go. She scrolled through her phone for news about Louis. As soon as the accident happened, it became a hot topic, but the information was quickly blocked. Elisa’s eyes reddened. She tried calling Louis, but no one answered. She didn’t even have his agent’s number.
The more urgent the situation, the more she needed to stay calm. Elisa took a few deep breaths. Her “boiling” brain gradually calmed down, and there was still news about Louis online.
In the news video, it was pouring rain in Bankshire, and Elisa checked the weather forecast map, zooming in on the location.
“Driver, head in this direction first,” Elisa handed her phone to the cabbie.
“No specific location?”
“Just go in this direction.”
“Got it.”
Elisa gritted her teeth. She didn’t know the exact situation with Louis now, but in the photo, his car had flipped into a ditch, and a crane was in the process of getting it out.
It felt as if her heart had been firmly gripped by someone.
By now, Louis had been rescued and taken to the hospital. Bankshire had too many hospitals, and Elisa couldn’t analyze it. If the injuries were severe, he might be in the city center, and if not so serious, he might be at a nearby hospital.
