Chapter 53 Opening His Heart for the First Time
Kristen had a good sense of lens and cooperated well with the photographer, So it took her less than half an hour to finish what she was supposed to do.
After the single person photos were finished, the four mentors cooperated to shoot, and it was already afternoon when all the shots were finished.
After finishing her work, Kristen was tired. As soon as she got in the car, she fell asleep in the seat. After a long time, Anna woke her up and said, “Kristen, we have arrived.”
Kristen got out of the car, waved to Anna, and went home. Aunt Kate hurried to greet her. “Miss Healey, you are back.”
Kristen handed the bag to her and went upstairs to rest.
However, She had no idea that a gossip marketing account had posted the news that she was going to participate in Meet You In Summer variety show on the Internet. It was even accompanied by several pictures taken at the scene.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a burst of discussion on the Internet in an instant.
“Oh my god, Kristen is a mentor. It’s incredible.”
“That’s right! How can she be a mentor? Does she have any representative work? Meet You In Summer is so popular. What qualifications does she as D-list star have?”
“She does not match the position.”
“She is just an actress. Why did she come to the variety show? She doesn’t know how to sing or dance, how can she be a mentor? Shame on she!”
Many anti-fans flooded into Kristen’s Twitter and all kinds of questioning voices came.
“Kristen, you’re on the trending list.” It was until Iszard called that Kristen finally clicked on Twitter. The first topic on it was “Kristen Meet You In Summer ”
“I didn’t expect you to participate in this variety show. They invited me before, but unfortunately, my schedule ran out, so I didn’t go.”
“I was arranged by my manager, “Kristen said, clicking the topic. As expected, the comments were very unfriendly to her, and even a few fans who spoke up for her were scolded by anti-fans.
“Those comments are not good. Stop watching them,” Iszard said on the phone and changed the topic. “Let’s play a game.”
Kristen looked at the time and said, “Okay, wait for two minutes. I’ll be right there.”
After logging out of Twitter, Kristen put those bad comments to the back of her mind, logged into the Glory Game and started ranking competitions with Iszard.
Kristen was not in a good mood today. After playing a few times, she threw the phone away.
“I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep now.” With that, Kristen laid down on the big bed.
She was tired after a day of filming. After playing games, she was already exhausted.
As soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep. In the middle of the night, she touched the spot next to her in a daze. It was empty. She suddenly sat up on the bed and turned on the light. The room was brightly lit. She looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was already three o’clock in the morning. Ethan had not come back yet.
Kristen called Ethan, but he didn’t answer for a long time. She had to call Jacob. “Where is he?”
Jacob looked at the tightly closed office door, and lowered his voice, “Mr. Wharton is in the company.”
Suspicion flashed across Kristen’s face and asked, “Is there something wrong with his work?”
Jacob hesitated for a moment and didn’t know if he should tell her. After thinking for a while, he realized that she was special to Ethan. Maybe he would listen to her, “Mr. Old Collins passed away this afternoon, and Mr. Wharton has been locking himself in the office.”
Hearing this, Kristen immediately lifted the blanket and put on her clothes. “I’ll be right there.”
After saying that, Kristen hung up the phone, took her bag and went out. When She rushed to the TNK Group, lights of the whole building had already been turned off, and only the office on the top floor was still on.
“Miss Healey, you’ve come.”
Kristen quickly walked to Ethan’s office and found that the door was locked. She looked at Jacob and asked, “Do you have a spare key?”
“Yes, I’ll bring it with you.” Jacob quickly took the key and handed it to her. Kristen took it and said, “Just Leave it to me here. It’s getting late. You should have a rest early.”
“It’s all right, Miss Healey.”
Kristen opened the door with keys and walked in. She saw Ethan standing in front of the French windows. His back was to her. Although she couldn’t see his face, she could feel the sadness.
She walked over and hugged him. Her face pressed against his back. “Why don’t you go home? I’m worried about you.”
Ethan’s body trembled slightly. He reached out and held her hand, but didn’t say a word.
They stared at each other in silence. Kristen quietly kept him company. After an unknown period of time, Ethan’s hoarse voice slowly rang out. “Actually, I knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer, but I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.”
Kristen comforted him, “It’s human nature to live, grow old, get sick, and die. Don’t be sad.”
How could Ethan not know? He looked into the distance and his vision blurred. Memories of the past surfaced in his mind as he slowly recounted the story between him and Mr. Old Collins.
Kristen listened carefully. This was the first time Ethan had revealed worries to her.
It was only now that she knew how much misfortune he had gone through in the childhood. Fortunately, Mr. Old Collins warmed his once tender heart.
“It’s alright. You still have me.” Kristen leaned into his embrace.
Ethan took a deep breath and hugged her tightly. Outside the window, the sky was turning bright, signaling the start of a brand-new day.
After an unknown period of time, Kristen let go of him. “Don’t stand here. Take a rest.”
Ethan agreed. They went to the rest room and lay down on the bed. Kristen looked at the ceiling above her head. After a while, the sound of steady breathing came from the side of her ear.
When Ethan woke up again, Kristen was lying on the sofa outside, flipping through the books on the bookshelf. Seeing that he was awake, She quickly put down the book in her hand and ran over to him. She raised her head and asked, “Are you awake? Do you feel better?”
Ethan bent down and kissed her gently.
“I’m going to visit the Collins Group. Wait for me here.”
Kristen knew that Ethan was going to see Mr. Old Collins for the last time. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
After Ethan left, the large office seemed empty. Kristen took out her phone and flipped to her phonebook. Looking at the number that had not been called for a long time, Kristen hesitated and dialed out.
