Chapter 71

Well, leave it up to Sonia to think of such stupid ideas. Seriously, how did she become so popular with such a low IQ? Scarlett looked at the guy that stopped Sonia. At least she should be thankful to him. He stoped a mad dog from biting her. Scarlett felt that he looked familiar yet she could not really remember who he was. That was until Sonia opened her mouth. "Kyle.....what....what are you doing here?" Sonia asked. She really could not believe this. Kyle was here! She was so embarrassed. She had heard from her manager that Kyle was going to be in the drama. She was very happy when she heard that. She was even more happy that she did not give up this opportunity just because she did not want to have anything to do with Scarlett. She knew that she had more to gain from this then she had to lose. . Kyle was the hottest and most popular male actor right now. His looks coupled with his acting skills made him really popular right now. In fact, he had only been in the industry for two years. He was just really popular. Also, they were rumours that his background wasn't ordinary. They said that he had a really rich family. Sonia had already calculated that she could ride on the popularity of Kyle to make herself more popular from this drama. She could pretend to be a couple with him. She really didn't have to say anything herself or confirm the rumours. As long as she doesn't deny it then it was going to be okay She was sure that just a few ambiguous photos would be sure to do the trick. She could arrange for some reporters to take pictures of them from the drama and post it, then she would leave it up to netizens to speculate about thier relationship. She already had it all planned out. Anyway, as long as he doesn't know that the pictures came from her then there was pretty much nothing that he could do to her. Sonia also thought that if she had the chance, she would try to seduce him and see if she could get into a relationship with Kyle. Anyway, her ultimate goal was to marry him. She didn't want to continue sleeping around for roles for the rest of her life anyway. Because she wanted to compete with Scarlett for everything, she thought that she should at least get herself a man that did not pale in comparison to Ryder or even someone that was better than Ryder. Only then would she feel like she had actually won against Scarlett. This was the plan that Sonia had. However, she just had to make a fool of herself in front of him! Seriously, just how much did this person hear? Judging from how quick he was to stop her, she did not believe that he was just passing by. He had probably been watching the for quite some time now. Sonia bit her lips! It's all Scarlett's fault! This Scarlett just can't stand for her to live a good life right? Sonia refused to think that she was the one who came looking for Scarlett in the first place! Kyle sneered when he heard Sonia's question. Actually, he had been watching the two women for some time. Since his mother told him to pay attention to Scarlett, he was going to do exactly that. Even though he knew that the woman was not going to let herself suffer a loss, ever since he found out that she is his cousin, he started to feel some sense of closeness to her. He actually bumped into Sonia making fun of Scarlett. He could have stood up for Scarlett from the very beginning but he wanted to see what the woman was going to do. After all, everything that he had heard about her were rumours. He had never seen her arguing with someone before. And besides, everyone knew about the fîght between Scarlett and Sonia. They said that the both of them have been fîghtîng since they started acting. Cole felt that it would be fun to watch the fight between the two hottest celebrites right now. He really wanted to do it. So he decided to watch the show. And he wasn't disappointed. Scarlett really lives up to her reputation. Sonia had something that she could very well use to taunt Scarlett but she wasn't even able to use it! Scarlett made it impossible for her to say anything else! He really had to give it up for those cousin of his. She really did not know how to leave a way out for the people that she did not like her at all. And he also found out some things about this woman Sonia. While everyone knew that she was a cheap slut, it has always been her wanting to fight with Scarlett all along. Scarlett could not be bothered to deal with her. For some weird reason, he felt a strange sense of pride knowing that this woman is his cousin! See, everyone from thier family is formidable! He was known for his sharp tounge and his cousin is just as ruthless! "What do you mean? I have a role in this drama. Of course I'm going to be here. Or don't you want me to be here?" Cole asked, looking very innocent. Scarlett's mouth twitched when she heard that. What does he mean by he has a role in the drama? He is the male lead! The male lead that tht production team went through so much trouble to invite! Can this person be any less humble? And asking if Sonia wants him to be here, the production would rather kick Sonia out than have him leave on his own! What nonsense is he talking about? Scarlett could very well tell that this person was picking on Sonia now! But why is he doing it? Is it to help her? But the both of them barely know each other! Scarlett shook her head and immediately removed that thought from her mind. She wasn't so narcistic as to think that the entire world revolves around her. Maybe Sonia has offended this person somehow? It sounded more plausible since Sonia was such an idoit. Sonia's face went pale when she heard that. She could immediately tell that Cole was picking on her on purpose with his words. She wasn't a match for him in the industry at all! She had heard that the production team begged him so much before he agreed to take on this role. Everyone knew how weird Cole was. He only did the things that he wanted to do. No one else could force him. Not even his manager. He really did whatever he wanted. But why is he targeting her out of nowhere? Hmph! It must be because of Scarlett! If he already had a bad opinion of her then how on Earth is she supposed to use him? What is she going to do from here on out? "No...don't get me wrong Cole. Why would I want you to leave? Actually, I'm very happy to be in this drama with you....you are so very talented, I'm really happy to be able to work with you! I'm hoping that I can learn from you" Sonia said. It was a 180 degree turn from her attitude with Scarlett. It really was amazing. Scarlett rolled her eyes. She could see what Sonia was doing here. She probably wanted to seduce this person. Scarlett thought that sleeping around was part of Sonia's DNA now. She really did not think about the place that she was or what people were going to say about her. Scarlett was already feeling pretty much disgusted do she just wanted to leave. "Thank you Cole, for helping me earlier. I hope we have a really good time working together" Scarlett said. She then walked away. These two people could do whatever they wanted Whether they hooked up or not, it has nothing to do with her. Sonia sighed in relief when Scarlett walked away. At least, she had the self awareness to leave them alone at this critical time. She flashed what she thought was a charming smile at Cole. But Cole only shuddered. This woman isn't really thinking of hitting on him right? He had seen enough of things like this in the last two years. "Umm... excuse me...I have to go now" Cole said. He was making his escape now. He knew that things could very well get ugly from here on out if this woman wanted to do something to him. And he really did not want to entertain her. So the best that he could do was to run away. Anyway, he has to catch up to Scarlett. He really wanted to talk to her. His impression of this cousin of his was really great in his mind right now. Sonia stomped her foot as she watched Cole walk away. She could tell that he was running away from her right now. She pursed her lips. He could run away now but that doesn't mean that he can run away forever. She had lots of time. She already set her eyes on this person. She will be sure to get him! ******* Scarlett was already walking away. She wanted to calm Ryder and ask him what the news was about but she held herself back. Why on Earth does she have to do that? If she calls him, it's only going to seek as if is worried about the things that he does, but she isn't worried at all? She isn't in the least bit worried! Right now.... right now.... right now she is just angry because he had to get photographed and people were talking about her right now! Yes this is the reason why she is so angry. Because he was photographed and even someone as stupid as Sonia just had to use it as a leverage to make fun of her! Scarlett comforted herself with these thoughts. Seriously why isn't Rose here yet? She would better know how to deal with these things. "Scarlett!" Someone called out her name. Scarlett stopped and turned back, then she saw Cole running towards her. What is wrong with this person? The both of them have never had much interactions. And besides, she already thanked him for helping her with Sonia. What is he after her right now? What is really going on? Scarlett really did not have the energy to deal with all of this. She was already feeling drained. Just thinking about why this person was after her right now was enough to give her a headache. "Is there something you need my help with?" Scarlett asked when he finally stopped in front of her. Her words were distant, even a fool could tell that she was trying to be distant from Cole. Cole clicked his tounge when he realized that. Why does she have a guard up against him? He didn't do anything to her right? "Nothing....I just think...are you trying to avoid me?" Cole asked. Scarlett "...." She really could not understand this person's question. what does he mean? The both of them are not close so why would he care if she is trying to avoid him or not? Scarlett told him her thoughts. "Cole, the both of us are not close and we barely even know each other. So I don't think that there's an issue of me trying to avoid you or not" Scarlett said as politely as she could. "What do you mean by we are not close? You never know, we might actually become really close" Cole said. Scarlett blinked her eyes. What is wrong with this person? "What?" She was really quite confused here. "Nothing. Just don't try to avoid me. The both of us will be seeing each other a lot from now on" Cole said. Then he walked past her and walked away. Scarlett watched him as he walks away.what a weirdo.
