Chapter 978 : An Unexpected Meeting (7)
Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian felt the atmosphere in the room change completely.
Everyone started to look nervous.
The junior assistant’s eyes lit up as he stared at the doorway expectantly.
Only Qiao Lian… she felt that her heart had jumped into her throat with this announcement.
She knew that even if she had wanted to escape, it was way too late.
Besides, she was bound by the contract. She couldn’t possibly reject the filming without a good reason.
Shen Liangchuan: …
It was completely unexpected that they would meet like this. It was too abrupt and there was no way she could have guarded against it. She didn’t feel the least bit prepared for it.
As she sat there in a daze, she could hear the makeup artist’s voice ringing in her ears. “Oh, now you’re afraid? It’s too late! As a newbie, you tried to throw your weight around here. Ha! You’d better pray hard that Best Actor Shen will not pursue this matter and hold you responsible for it!”
After saying this, the makeup artist crossed her arms and leaned back waiting for the situation to unfold.
Qiao Lian could not be bothered with her.
The junior assistant, however, walked to Qiao Lian and said as she looked at her fearfully, “Sister Qiao, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have started an argument with the makeup artist. Snif, it’s all my fault. Now that Best Actor Shen is here, he’s going to blame us for this! You- you can push the blame on me, it’s ok. Just don’t let it get in the way of your filming.”
It was at this point that Qiao Lian snapped out of her dazed state.
She looked at the junior assistant and told her, “Don’t worry.”
The junior assistant was now on the verge of tears and replied, “Aren’t you afraid? Best Actor Shen is the top celebrity in the circle, and the makeup artist is being difficult.”
Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching the room!
The junior assistant immediately held her breath and focused.
Qiao Lian’s heart was now on the edge.
She could hear someone outside explaining, “Best Actor Shen, this is our powder room. It’s a little small, so we hope you won’t mind just putting up with it for a bit.”
Then she heard that very familiar voice, “Sure.”
It was just one word, but it made her heart contract with a familiar pain as she felt the urge to cry.
Immediately, her eyes reddened.
Then the door to the powder room swung open and Shen Liangchuan walked in.
With everyone swarming around him, he was like the sun, shining brightly wherever he went.
And the moment he walked in, everything else in the room paled beside him.
Everyone in the room got up on their feet and unconsciously showed an attitude of respect. Only Qiao Lian sat there, unmoving, because she had been stunned into a stupor.
This was more than she could take in.
She bit her lip and felt someone nudge her arm. Her head spun around and she saw that the junior assistant was shooting her a look. “Sister, hurry, stand up and welcome Best Actor Shen!”
She snapped out of the daze she was in.
Slowly, she got onto her feet.
She looked at him again.
At the same time, he looked in her direction.
Their eyes met across the room.
At that moment, a mix of emotions rose within her.
Every feeling imaginable…
A film of tears in her eyes blurred the image of the man standing before her.
But she could see that he had taken two steps towards her. Immediately, she lowered her head and stepped back.
He halted. Stood on the spot.
The atmosphere between the two of them froze in an instant.
Right in this moment, the makeup artist stepped forward and said to Shen Liangchuan, “Best Actor Shen, I do apologize, my makeup powder was spilled by Ms. Qiao’s junior assistant. I’m afraid we may have to cause you some delay. This whole matter happened because her assistant is proud and arrogant, sigh…”
