Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 171

Sure, you’re welcome here. Come sit. Eric was talking to Camille in a gentle voice. “Have you eaten?”

“I have.”

“Do you want some juice?”

“It is not alright. I’m not thirsty.” Camille rejected it. After a pause, she continued, “Eric, I paid Benedict a

visit at the hospital just now. The scars on his face aren’t very serious. I think he can continue filming

after a few days of rest.”

Benedict was the actor who was beaten up last night. The moment I heard his name, I pricked up my

ears. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Didn’t he say the injury was very serious and he needed to take a break from filming? What is

happening now?” Eric said in a calm voice.

“After a night of treatment and recovery, I think your wounds are healing. They can fully recover after

resting for a few more days.”

“Oh? Does he need a few more days? Okay, then let him continue to rest.”

“You mean he can continue filming after he recovers?”

“That’s not what I meant. He will no longer do the film. There are so many people out there who can do

this. Just get someone to replace him.” I was a little taken aback by the casual way Eric spoke about

this topic. Wasn’t he trying to mess with me about this Benedict? Why was he replacing him with

someone else?

“Isn’t that very unfair to him? You know he’s a great actor. He is very hardworking and his acting skills

are splendid. Also, he plays this role better than anyone else.” It seemed that Camille was close to

Benedict; she constantly praised him.

“No matter how excellent his acting skills are, or how hardworking he is, his personality is enough to

end it all.”

“Eric, have you heard any rumors about him?” Camille was surprised by Eric’s answer and asked

cautiously.

“Rumor?”

“You know how terrifying jealousy can be. Benedict rose to fame very quickly, so some people will

inevitably resent him, just as I experienced when I made my debut back then.”

“So the rumor that he had a sugar mommy wasn’t true? And the one where he was trying to take

advantage of a newcomer a few weeks earlier?”

There was silence for a moment before Camille’s voice was heard again. “I’m sorry, Eric; I didn’t know

Benedict was that kind of person. All I heard was that he was hard-headed. I had no idea about these

things you just said.”

Eric didn’t say anything, but Camille was still trying to explain. “I worked with him on two dramas and he

behaved very well, so I thought he was a good person. I had high hopes, but I think I was wrong.”

The answer was brilliantly crafted; Camille was trying to imply that she had fallen for Benedict’s

pretense.

“You are utterly unreasonable. It was obvious he had a bad personality when he was being rude to that

unknown woman last night. He was even ready to hit her.”

“I knew it was his fault yesterday, but those people who beat him up were pretty fierce-”

“If it was me, I would have beaten him even harder!” Eric cut his word off weakly.

I didn’t know what Camille had told Eric about last night, but with her intellect, she could no doubt find

her way around.

an outlet.

As expected, Camille forced a smile and said, “I noticed that Mrs. Hawkins was also

terrified. Fortunately, she is a reasonable person.”

“He arrives. Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Eric obviously didn’t want to talk about this matter

anymore and Camille was wise enough to stop. She chatted with Eric for a while and left after he got a

call.

After Camille left, I left the inner office. Eric narrowed his eyes and looked at me. “Does it usually take

this long to change clothes?”
