Darling, Don't Get Rid of Me

Chapter 96 Materialistic

For a moment, Harriet couldn’t know whether she was blaming Cherry or not - after all, Cherry didn’t

know her true feelings, she might just want to play cupid for them with the best of intentions.

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Harriet suddenly gave a smile and looked toward Keith with

kindness.

“Keith, I’m truly grateful for your affection. Actually I like you quite a lot, but you’re still so young, and

I’m afraid that your fans won’t let go of me if I really accept you.”

She resolved the serious atmosphere with just a few words.

Everyone understood that Harriet was turning Keith down euphemistically. She had quick wits to

forcibly turn the courtship to an admiration of the junior for the senior.

The joy on Keith’s face disappeared gradually, “Harriet, are you rejecting me?”

Harriet laughed, “How can this be called rejection? I’m just waiting for you to grow up. You’re still so

young, do you really know what liking is? Alas... I’m worried that you will forget today’s confession

when you have your favorite girl a few years later, then I will be really sad by that time.”

Her remarks caused a storm of laughter, and an actor took over her words, “Harriet, you’ve got all the

cheek in the world. We’re all waiting for you to become Keith's girlfriend, and think that we will be

treated with a free meal today. You're too uncompromising."

“That is. Keith, you can choose me otherwise, I definitely won’t say no.”

The crew played a joke, it was obvious that they had been misled by Harriet’s words.

They could see that Harriet was really unwilling to accept Keith, but she didn’t feel like hurting the heart

of an innocent young boy as well, so everyone also cooperated with her to prevent the situation from

being too embarrassing. After all, all of them worked in the same theater group, and it was not good if

they didn’t get along well with each other.

Only a trace of discontent flashed across the face of Cherry.

She had a hard time instigating Keith to do so, but she didn’t expect that Harriet could resolve the

embarrassment so easily.

“Harriet, haven’t you seen today’s headlines?” Just when Harriet thought the crisis was everted, Keith

suddenly spit out this sentence.

Harriet was taken aback, then heard the boy say word by word, “If you promise to stay with me, the

rumors over the Internet will collapse by itself. I can also save your blushes and tell everyone that we

are together.”

His words caused uproar in the crowd.

On second thought, the resolution of Keith might not be amiss here. After all, the Miller family was quite

influential in California, and Harriet could be saved as long as Keith looked for an excuse to say he was

also there at the time. Since the Millers and the Smiths had been on very good terms in former days, if

they said three of them were actually good friends in private, by adding some embellishments, then this

scandal could be over.

However, Harriet’s expression turned to be serious, “Keith, when have you learned to threaten people?”

As they saw Harriet really get angry, they immediately stepped out to mediate the dispute, “Keith, we all

know that you’re concerned about Harriet, but it’s better not to drag you into this.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ahem, just see what time is it now, do you guys still want to start today’s filming? Let’s get ready now,

lest the director comes over and goes crazy.”

The crowd broke up in a hubbub, while Harriet didn’t continue looking at Keith’s face, but turned around

and headed to the dressing room for preparation.

Keith didn’t catch up to entangle her, but the hurt in his eyes was very obvious.

“Harriet, are you angry?” Cherry followed behind her with an apologetic expression, “Are you blaming

me? I shouldn’t poke my nose into this.”

Upon seeing Cherry reproach herself, Harriet’s heart was melted. She sighed, “I really don’t have

feelings toward Keith. In the future, you shouldn’t take part in this kind of thing to avoid unnecessary

troubles.”

Cherry looked depressed, “Sorry, I actually...I saw you’re intertwining with Mr. Smith, and hope that you

can get rid of him as soon as possible. Harriet, listen to me, he has engagement already. Instead of

staying together with him, it’s better for you to find another man. Keith is still young, and he may be

controlled easily in the future. In addition…”

“Cherry, in your eyes, am I just a materialistic woman?” Harriet interrupted her and said seriously.

Cherry frowned as Harriet didn’t turn out the way she had hoped, but still trying her best to convince

her.

“Harriet, of course I didn’t mean to look down on you, instead, I will think so because I’m worried about

you. In the entertainment’s world, there are a lot of celebrities who have relied on the influential to

assure their career. I will seize it as well if I have the chance. But I don’t bear to see you cook your

goose by yourself. Just think about it, what good result can you have with Wesley Smith? You might as

well find another man who is more reliable earlier.”

Cherry analyzed wholeheartedly for Harriet’s sake, her analysis sounded so reasonable.

“I feel like getting rid of him as well,” Harriet said softly, “But not in this way, and it’s not good to drag

Keith into the mess as well.”

Cherry quitted while she was ahead, immediately she casted her eyes down glumly.

“Sorry, it’s me who has been too selfish. I’m not considerate like you. I shouldn’t give Keith an idea.”

“Forget it, I actually can’t blame you. It’s just a matter of time.” Harriet could see that Keith did have an

obsession against her.

Both of them then chit chatted for a while. Cherry felt relieved as she found Harriet didn’t blame her

anymore.

Fortunately, she didn’t let this shrewd woman notice something. How could she be exposed so quickly?

She might give Harriet “bigger surprise” afterward, and she must wait to witness it.

Leaving the dressing room, when no one noticed her, the hint of a smirk crossed Cherry’s face.

The morning was over peacefully.

Probably because of his bad mood, Keith’s performance was unsatisfactory. However, Harriet didn’t

give him any reminder for this time. She was afraid that this sensitive boy would misunderstand her

again if she did it.

After struggling to film one scene, the director announced to pause the shooting, everyone in the crew

could refresh themselves during the break, while the shooting would continue in the afternoon.

Harried went back to the lounge in the filming studio somewhat tiredly. She took the cheesecake

prepared by Molly to grab a bite. The moment she was considering whether to have her lunch here or

go back, someone at the door asked her to go out.

“Wesley?”

At a glance, she saw a man with the towering figure. He looked elegant, alienated and calm, and

seemed that he was not bothered by the online rumors at all.

“Why are you here?” Harriet was surprised.

Wesley glanced at her face, suddenly he reached out to wipe the cake crumbs off the corners of her

lips, then said gently, “Visit you.”

Harriet was not surprised by his action. He often had similar gentle actions these days, so she had

been used to it. However, it was an extreme shock in the eyes of others.

“Don’t you see the news on the Internet? You come here at this moment, I’m gonna be drowned by

saliva.” Harriet said helplessly, “Besides, who am I to you? How dare I bother you to visit me

personally?”

Wesley spoke with a neutral accent, “I’ve dealt with it, so don’t worry.”

Harriet was taken aback, taking out her phone and turned on it skeptically. Sure enough, all the news

about her and Wesley had vanished within a few hours only.

But Harriet didn’t feel so happy. Firstly, despite the disappearance of the news, those rumors still could

not vanish at once, after all, the rumors had caused a stir already. Secondly, Wesley had the ability to

settle a matter very efficiently, but he delayed it until now, so it was obvious that he deliberately allowed

it to develop.

“Don’t worry-you can say this so easily. Of course you don’t need to worry, you don’t work in the

entertainment industry,” Harriet frowned, somewhat unhappily. Having spoken these words she noticed

that her tone was vexed, as if she was acting coquettishly at her boyfriend.
