Hazel asked her parents. After knowing that the perpetrator had been found and sent to the police, Hazel was relieved.
“This is Mr. Floyd,” Hazel said.
Baron stood at the side for a while, trying his best to make himself look calm. He felt it was wonderful to meet Hazel’s parents as Hazel’s boyfriend.
Baron had come here more than once. But this time was different. It was the first time that Baron had met Hazel’s parents as Hazel’s boyfriend.
“Excuse me?”
Lindsey did not understand why Hazel said so.
This was the first time Hazel had brought her boyfriend to meet her parents. She was very nervous. Lindsey’s confusion made Hazel not know whether to laugh or cry.
Hazel should have introduced Baron’s name instead of “Mr. Floyd”. The atmosphere seemed to be a little embarrassing now.
“Mr. Horatio, Mrs. Horatio, nice to meet you. My name is Baron Floyd, and I am Hazel’s boyfriend.”
Baron pretended to be calm and introduced himself solemnly.
Lindsey thought the name Baron sounded a little familiar.
But Lindsey did not overthink. She nodded at Baron. Lindsey thought it was good to see that there was someone who liked and cared about her daughter.
However, Lindsey felt it was a pity that her daughter’s boyfriend was not Dave.
Leif and Lindsey thought that Dave was considerate and reliable. But they also knew that forced love would not last. Besides, Dave was not interested in Hazel.
“Please come in. Have some fruit.”
Leif was more enthusiastic. He greeted Baron with high spirits.
Leif said, “It’s good to know that our daughter has a boyfriend. Leif, have some durians. I asked the nurse to buy it early today. It’s very fresh.”
Leif’s face was full of smiles. He thought the young man, Baron, looked good.
Baron dressed in a suit, and his surname was Floyd. Leif thought it was likely that Baron was the security guard of the Floyd Group. But hearing Leif’s words, Baron’s face twitched and took a step back subconsciously.
In Baron’s mind, Durian was the worst fruit in the world!
“Dad, I want to eat durian.”
Hazel took a step forward and took the durian.
“I think it’s not bad to find a security guard to be your boyfriend. He can give you a sense of security.”
It was not that Leif and Lindsey looked down on Baron. In their hearts, every employee of the Floyd Group was admirable. Besides, Baron was wearing a dark suit.
“A security guard?”
Hazel was a little shocked after hearing her parents’ comments.
Leif and Lindsey thought Baron was a security guard. That was embarrassing. Baron’s face darkened.
Lindsey secretly held Hazel’s hand and said, “Hazel, he looks a little serious. He is not as easy-going as Dave. But as long as you like him, everything is fine.”
“Mom, he is not a security guard.”
Hazel spread her hands and said so resignedly.
Hazel’s parents were just ordinary citizens. They had worked hard to earn money for Hazel’s education in the past. Therefore, Hazel wouldn’t blame her parents for a small misunderstanding.
Baron was the CEO of the Floyd Group, and he was also the richest man in Magemoor. Some people would probably never find a chance to meet Baron in their lives.
Lindsey said, “I don’t care who he is. I only know that he is a good man. It doesn’t matter how much money he earns. You like him, and that’s what matters.”
After talking to her mother for a few minutes, Hazel followed Baron to the detention house.
The perpetrator had been detained here. He was a yellow-haired youth. The perpetrator admitted that he had hit someone. But he firmly stated that he had stolen a car.
Baron only took a glance at that youth. Then, he looked at Hazel and shook his head slightly.
The car crash was just an accident. It was not caused by the Plum Blossom Organization.
Baron comforted Hazel and said, “They shouldn’t be so free to do that.”
In fact, the Plum Blossom Organization would be more efficient. If they were the people behind this accident, the police in the small county wouldn’t be able to find clues easily.
Moreover, the Plum Blossom Organization wouldn’t do things so sloppily.
Baron said, “Don’t worry. I will send more people to protect your family.”
Hazel nodded worriedly. Indeed, the safety of her family members was her greatest concern at the moment.
If Hazel could ensure the safety of her family members, she would have no weakness.
Hazel had known Elva for many years, and she understood Elva’s character too well. It was relatively easier for Hazel to start on Elva.
After autumn, the temperature varied greatly between day and night. If one were not careful, it would be easy to catch a cold.
In the rest area of the set, Hazel was holding a small hot water bag, and her face was pale.
Hazel had just filmed a tragic scene of the female lead jumping into the river. It was her menstrual period. Unfortunately, the substitute had acute colitis. So, Hazel had to personally shoot this scene.
Logically speaking, a new actress like Hazel was not qualified to hire a substitute.
But the director and Kyle were friends. Kyle had asked him to take special care of Hazel.
Michel’s scandal was still in the headlines. Kyle supported Michel on Weibo, but the netizens didn’t buy it.
The incident of a female celebrity committing suicide back then was in the headlines again.
“Ms. Horatio, I bought a few packets of ginger tea from a nearby pharmacy. I asked for some hot water from the logistics staff. Come on. Drink it.”
Lucy’s forehead was covered in sweat, but she still held the cup steadily.
It was not easy to be a woman. Hazel had to film a scene in the water during her menstrual period. She hoped that she wouldn’t catch a cold because she didn’t want the illness to affect her future health.
“Thank you.”
Hazel covered her lower abdomen with her hand and was almost unable to speak. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
The production cost of this shooting was too high, and this place was rented. If Hazel asked for leave and didn’t film, it would cause a great loss to the crew.
“I can tell the director that we’ll pay for the expense of renting this place. What do you think?” Lucy didn’t want to see Hazel suffer.
Baron had gone to the United States for a business trip. Before he left, he specifically reminded Lucy to take care of Hazel.
Lucy believed that Baron wouldn’t blame her for spending such a small amount of money.
“No need. I will be fine in a while.”
Hazel forced a smile and shook her head.
Hazel had experienced worse things in the past. But after she had Baron, she became more delicate than before.
If Baron abandoned Hazel one day, what should Hazel do? Hazel thought she had to bear the pain now. In her mind, all the difficulties and hardships in life could only be settled by time.
The pain would last seven days at most. Although Hazel didn’t feel well, she was still in an optimistic mood.
After drinking a large cup of ginger tea in one go, Hazel let out a long breath. She felt a little warm in her lower abdomen. It was better now.
“The twelfth play. Everyone, get ready!”
Before Hazel could fully relax, the director yelled so.
Lucy was worried and followed Hazel.
This was a love war film. Hazel’s role in this film was a maid of the Garrett family. The Garrett family was one of the four big families.
Hazel’s role was beautiful and kind. But the young master of the Garrett family had slept with her, and she unexpectedly became pregnant.
The fiancée of the young master of the Garrett family was a member of the other four big families. After he found out that the maid was pregnant, he became furious and asked his people to abort her child.
The young master of the Garrett family was the male lead of this play. He fell in love with another maid, but he went to the wrong bed on the night of his drunkenness and slept with the maid that was not his love.
After this maid knew that the young master of the Garrett family wanted to abort her child, she felt helpless and jumped into the river to commit suicide. But she was saved by a boatman.
“Hazel, are you feeling unwell?”
Hazel needed to run quickly in the alley in this scene. This was very difficult for Hazel. After all, she was suffering from pain right now.
“Director, Hazel is not feeling well now. Can you find a substitute for her?”
Lucy suggested so. Of course, Lucy explained that the expenses needed to find a substitute would be paid by Hazel and her.
“No need, Director. I can do it.”
Hazel wiped her sweat. She became an actress to earn money, not to kill time. Looking at the distance, she estimated that she only had to run for a minute or two.
Hazel took a deep breath and got ready.
“Well, what a weak woman.”
Some actresses at the side rolled their eyes and sneered.
In their hearts, Hazel was just a supporting actress. How could a supporting actress look for a substitute? Hazel was not the female lead! She just had a rich boyfriend. Those actresses sneered in their hearts, ‘If you can’t do it, then don’t keep being an actress. Go marry your boyfriend and be a rich lady!’
