Chapter 42
Being stared like this, Cecilia held his arm intimately. “Patrick, I’m glad you came to see me,” said she
with a bright Smile.
“Our crew has been filming in this high school recently…”
Cecilia looked at the man in front of her and blushed. She asked him shyly. “Patrick, what do you think
of my student look? Is it nice?”
It was a one billion dollar remake of the television series by Universe Studio, which was about a daring
and honest female student in the Republican period. In an accident, the female student saved the life of
the most powerful and handsome young
warlord of the time. The drama depicted the misunderstanding between the lovers, and the touching
story of their life and death together in the revolutionary cause.
The original female lead of the show was not Cecilia, and the media did not think much of her for the
sudden change in the lead role. After all, Cecilia’s delicate temperament was very different from the
female lead’s personality in the script.
Patrick’s eyes gazed down at her face
thoughtfully.
“It is,” he replied in a low voice.
Cecilia held his arm intimately and was flattered to hear him praising her.
She understood that with Patrick’s cool personality, he was unlikely to praise others.
At this moment, she looked at his handsome profile, and she became more and more proud.
“Cecilia, you have to work hard. With Mr. Hopkins supporting you like this, you have to make an effort.
Don’t let those people outside look down on you.” Cecilia’s manager walked up to them with a fawning
smile.
“Mr. Hopkins, you came to visit us. Do you want to go in and rest for a while?”
Manager Anne asked with a smile, her
eyes filled with joy.
Everyone in
the
entertainment
business guessed who Cecilia’s sugar daddy was. If Patrick was willing to show up today, then in the
future…the producers and directors had to be subservient to Patrick.
Patrick ignored the manager and looked around with a complicated look.
This high school still looked like it was six years ago, but…
“I just passed by here…”
Patrick said in a cold voice. He withdrew his hand and pushed Cecilia
away.
He didn’t come here to visit Cecilia.
Cecilia looked embarrassed as she
watched him stride towards the campus alone, completely ignoring her.
Cecilia thought, “Patrick isn’t here for me. So why did he come here?”
The manager quickly gave Cecilia a push and whispered, “Mr. Hopkins seems to be in a bad mood.
Follow him and be careful to pacify him…” When a man was lost, he always yearned for the gentleness
of a woman the most.
“Patrick, is it something wrong with
the company?”
Cecilia trotted after him, her voice softly caring
Patrick glanced at her face from the corner of his eye and ignored her, but did not say anything to drive
her away.
The two walked around the campus quietly and randomly. Cecilia found that he was very familiar with
the school. She wanted to ask more questions, but looking at his cold profile, she did not dare to speak.
Patrick was such an indifferent man, His aloof and cool temperament always made people cautious
and not dare to approach him.
This century-old high school had along
history. Because the film crew was
filming in the front school building and
the students were on holiday, there
was no one at the back door of the
school.
Patrick strode out of the back door of the school. Immediately, a milk tea
shop came into his sight.
He suddenly stopped and looked at the milk tea shop across the street,
“Patrick” Cecilia called him softly.
She looked at the milk tea shop across the street, her expression suppressing complicated emotions. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Cecilia wanted to ask him something
“Patrick, you used to go to that store a lot?” She pointed nervously at the milk
tea shop across the street.
“Very sweet.”
Patrick seemed to be reminiscing and
said two words.
Those milk teas were too sweet.
He didn’t like sweets very much, but…
His gaze deepened as he looked at the milk tea shop opposite him,
It was as if he had returned to the past and he was standing here, while the woman of the night shift at
the window of the milk tea shop opposite him was still busy. She made all the milk tea
personally.
Cecilia was stunned when she heard
what he said. She didn’t know what he
was thinking
But his gaze made her cheeks redder. She looked up at him shyly, like a young girl who had just fallen
in love
“Six years ago, he was the one who sent
people to by milk tea in large quantities! She was filled with excitement and joy
“Then is it because.” Cecilia’s voice grew softer, suppressing excitement and anticipation.
“… Because it’s a hassle to change jobs… leave work early.”
Patrick dropped a confusing sentence.
He turned his eyes sideways and stopped looking at the milk tea shop opposite him as if nothing had
attracted him there.
He strode straight down the school road back to the front gate…
Cecilia was frozen in place.
“What did he mean?’
Her expression was complicated as she watched the heroic figure in front of her slowly leave…
‘What did he mean by those words?’ Somehow, Cecilia felt a surge of uneasiness in her heart.
Six years ago, the milk tea shop opposite was about to close, but in the next six months, it sold nearly a
million cups of milk tea. This amazing amount of milk tea brought this small shop back to life, and it had
been thriving
ever since…
Cecilia knew very well since this milk tea shop was owned by her mother.
Six years ago, she had noticed that her
milk tea shop often had salespeople come in the middle of the night to place large orders and the
required time was very loose, a week or a half months would be fine.
It wasn’t buying milk tea at all, it was like directly sending money to the shop.
“It was Patrick who sent someone over. It was really him…”
But, “Didn’t he do it that year because
he wanted to help my family? What
was the reason…”
Cecilia’s face turned pale. Could it be…
“So it’s the Young Master of Hopkins Family. No wonder you took my role!”
Suddenly, a tall and arrogant figure strade up behind her, and Connie’s voice was full of sarcasm.
Cecilia heard the voice and quickly tumed around, raising her chin haughtily, looking at the other party.
“Connie.” She mumbled the name in disdain.
Cecilia stepped forward with a fake Smile on her face. “It’s true that Patrick is helping me. Jealous?”
Connie glared at her. “Cecilia, how dare
you!”
This mega-budgeted remake of Universe Studio was making a huge splash from the media to the
publicity. Since last year, famous actors from all
over the nation have been competing for the lead role. She had a hard time getting through and taking
the female lead position, everything was done, but in the end, the role was snatched away by Cecilia
Connie gritted her teeth angrily as she looked at Cecilia’s smug arrogance,
but..
“Cecilia, I hate your face every time I see it. Do you know why?”
Connie suddenly calmed down, as if
something had made her very happy.
and laughed out loud. “Because your
face is almost the same as my daughter,
Christina. Hahaha…
Cecilia was originally proud to refute, but when she heard the name
“Well, what exactly happened here.”
As soon as manager Anne opened the door of the lounge, she looked in astonishment at the mess in
the room.
“Get out, get out of here.”
Cecilia’s face was extremely gloomy,
and she angrily swept all the makeup equipment in front of the dressing table to the ground, shattering
the glass bottles and splashing all over the floor..
Anne looked nervous and quickly closed the door to the lounge. “Cecilia, calm down. There are a lot of
big directors and producers out there. It would affect your image.
“What happened? Didn’t you just walk around campus with Patrick on good terms? Did you make him
angry?”
When Cecilia heard Patrick’s name, she suppressed a sense of guilt and horror. She turned around
and grabbed a large ceramic plate on the counter and threw it on the floor as if she were venting.
“That’s impossible! The woman in his pocket watch can’t be her… Impossible!” She shouted
incoherently.
Anne heard her mention her pocket watch and immediately asked nervously, “What’s wrong? Did
Patrick know about your plastic surgery?”
“Three years ago, I told you not to jump into the river and pretend to be dead.
You just insisted on making a scene and say you didn’t want to be a substitute for that woman in the
pocket watch, but now…” Anne was also anxious.
ecilia‘s eyes were bloodshot, and she turned to the manager angrily. “Three years ago, I had a plastic
surgery sequela. I had no choice. You think I don’t want to marry into Hopkins Family?”
Cecilia thought, “I almost became the
Young Madam of Hopkins Family!”
But now it was Christina he married.
“Christina,” Cecilia muttered the name in a cold voice.
The thought of the woman’s face made her feel uneasy…
“Where are you going now?” When the manager saw Cecilia’s cold face and sudden stride out, she
rushed to catch up with Cecilia
Cecilia’s expression was sinister, and she said coldly, “I’m going to get rid of those eyesore things
today.”
