“Ahem… You don’t have to say that. Your words make me feel very self-abased. My skill is indeed not as good as yours, so it’s you who won this competition.” Now that everyone had seen through the truth, Charles still had fallen into the trap set by Vana. Everyone was too embarrassed to remind him that he was too stupid.
“No, no, no, you don’t have to feel self-abased. If you want to practice your skills, you can contact me later. My phone number is 1384498XXXX, and I will find a way to cure my family’s disease. It has nothing to do with your lose in the competition.”
“I’ll remember your phone number. But since I said you won, I should give you the bet of eighty thousand. If you really feel sorry, just accept a small request from me.”
“Request? Small?”
“Yes, it won’t take you too long. And since your family is so hard, I will give you a corresponding reward.”
The onlookers around suddenly understood that Charles was playing tricks on Vana. Who said that he could not see that Vana was lying? It was obvious that he was using Vana’s mind of getting money to trap her.
As soon as Vana heard that there was still a reward, she immediately came up with an idea. She looked at Charles and said, “I wonder what kind of request you are talking about? What kind of reward is it? You know, my sister is seriously ill and I have to take care of her. I don’t have much time to do anything else in normal times.”
Hearing that, Charles knew that Vana had been attracted, so he slowed down his speed and said patiently, “it won’t take you too much time. Here is the thing. Do you still remember the director you met two days ago at the New Fourth Street of the SG District?”
Director? The group of people who rushed up when she rode her motorbike to get “Sprout 01”?
“What do you mean?”
Hearing this, Charles knew that Vana had remembered what happened that day, so he made a long story short and straight to the point, “in fact, I have recognized you as the person in the video before we met. And maybe it’s offensive, after knowing that you are a motorcycle heroine, I agreed to race with you. In fact, I want to cooperate with you in this way.”
“Cooperate? I’m not an actress. Did you really listen to the director’s nonsense and ask me to help him shoot a movie?”
As soon as Vana finished her words, Charles showed an embarrassed expression. It seemed that Vana was right. The director really wanted to find her to be an actress.
But soon Charles explained, “Here is the thing. His movie is a science fiction film with multiple elements. After showing me the video, he has been amazed at you. He said that if I could find an actress like you to complete a few shooting of the main character, it would be perfect. I didn’t pay attention to it at first, but I just said that I would help him pay attention to it. I didn’t expect that fate is such a wonderful thing. It’s my honor to meet you today.”
No one had ever thought that the famous movie king Charles would talk about the metaphysics on the hillside road in the suburbs of the Magic City. He even exclaimed that fate was a wonderful thing. If this kind of thing was photographed by the paparazzi, it would probably be another explosive news.
After thinking for a while, Vana said to Charles seriously, “actually, I don’t do the race for the bet of eighty thousand. But since you and the director have been so eager to find me, I will promise you. As for the reward you said before, forget it. Anyway, I won the competition disgracefully, so it can be offset. You can give me the contact information of the director directly. I will ride to him then.”
Charles was very happy to hear what Vana said, but he looked at her worriedly and said, “you won’t lie to me, will you?”
Vana took a look at Vivian, who was standing beside her, and then touched her little hand. She said, “People can’t go back on their words. I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t keep my words. Besides, you have promised to give me money. Do you regret and don’t want to give me money?”
Charles was amused by Vana’s words. He took out a check book from his pocket, wrote down the amount of money and signed it. After Vana counted the number again, Charles was completely defeated by her stinginess.
In the end, Vana went back to the city in Finn’s off-road vehicle. Her motorcycle was out of gas and she couldn’t ride it. It was Charles who ordered Finn to take her away. When they arrived at the SG District, Finn said goodbye to her, “Vana, don’t think that I won’t dare to beat you because Mr. Charles asks you for help. Next time if you don’t treat him well, I won’t spare you.”
“Humph! Who cares?” Vana thought that if it was in the past, she would have shot him to death. But for the sake of Mr. Charles, she still let him go.
Unexpectedly, Finn was immediately irritated by Vana’s attitude. He slapped the door of the car angrily and said, “if you dare to be arrogant again, I’ll ask a trailer to throw your motorcycle into the suburban ravine.”
Vana immediately surrendered and put her hands together, “Okay, Mr. Finn, I’m sorry. I’ll be polite to Mr. Charles in the future, and I won’t make you angry again.”
‘Holy shit! I will teach you a good lesson after my motorcycle comes back. How dare you threaten me? I’m afraid you have never experienced being shot.’
“That’s good. Have to go. Don’t forget to contact Mr. Charles.”
After saying that, Finn started the off-road vehicle and left. Vana kicked the fallen leaves on the roadside behind her. Then she remembered that Vivian had told her to send her a message when she arrived at the destination, so she immediately found her mobile phone and sent an message to Vivian. The content of the message was as follows.
[Dear Vivian
I’ve arrived at my home in the SG District. Have you gone home?
Miss you. Your Vana. ]
After a while, Vana received a message on her phone. She thought it was from Vana, so she immediately clicked it. But she saw that the message was from Simon, which was lying in the dialog box. [What are you doing? ]
Vana immediately checked the time. She didn’t expect that it was already seven forty p. m. But it had not been dark yet. She thought that it might be a while after Simon got off work. Why did he contact her so late? When she was about to invite him to have dinner at home and chat about life, Simon suddenly sent another message, saying that, [There would be a dinner tonight. My aunt invited me to be her partner. I’ll contact with you when I’m finished. ]
Vana was frustrated. She deleted the message she had typed and sent him one word: [OK! ] Then she put away her phone and began to think about where she should go to find some fun.
It just so happened that Vana was dressed well today. It was better to go to the bar to flirt with girls. Maybe she could meet one or two handsome men to have a chat, so as to comfort her lonely heart after being abandoned by Simon.
Thinking of this, Vana immediately entered the most prosperous street of Magic City, which was also known as City of Lights, and was the most extravagant night life place in the SG District.
There were many bars on the street, and every bar was overcrowded. There were often stars or men appearing on the cover of the magazines in this area. It could be said that the people here were seeking excitement.
