2025-04-11 20:19:16Claudia opened her eyes and saw that there was a complete stranger in her car. She was surprised. It took her a good minute to figure out what was going on. "Who the hell are you?" Claudia asked. She was already pissed after meeting that stupid blind date of hers and some stranger is sitting in her car.
Richardturned to look at the woman whose car he had gotten into. After Marisa drove his car away, he had received a call from his father asking him to come back to the company immediately. He was the CEO but his father was still the chairman. He probably had something to complain about so he was calling him. But he just gave his car away. He decided to try his luck by charming a woman into giving him a ride. He is after all, Ryder. Is there a woman who can resist his charm? He was still looking around when saw this woman walk out of the restaurant that he had been in with Marisa. He smiled to himself and got into her car.
Looking at her now, he had to admit that the woman was quite pretty. He could not see her face well since she was wearing a pair of dark sunglasses but he could already tell that she was quite pretty. He flashed her his best smile. "Hi, I'm RichardThompson. Do you mind giving me a ride? Don't worry. I'll repay you" He said. Then he winked at her. Richardwas sure he had impressed her. After all, there is no single woman he wanted to impress that he had not impressed in the last five years.
Claudia however was different. She looked at him like she was seeing a clown performing in front of her. What does this person think that he is doing right now?! Claudia did not know Richardat all. She did not deal with the CEO of her agency. Her manager was the one who handled those things for her. She just had to act so how would she know the Playboy CEO of Helian Entertainment? She did not know him at all. To Claudia, this person could not be more than a crazy drifter!
"Who the hell are you? Who do I have to give you a ride?!" Claudia yelled. She should not have left home today. She just keeps running into all kinds of annoying situations.
Richardwas taken aback. He just smiled at her, he did his very best to impress her but instead she yelled at him. Did he not try hard enough? He refused to give up. He is definitely going to charm this woman! "If you know who I am, I'm sure that you will want to give me a ride? Why don't we do this? Help me out this once and then you can decide how I'll pay you back. What do you think of that?" Richardasked.
Now Claudia was convinced that this person is crazy. How dare he hop into her car and demand a ride? And where the hell is Rose? It seems that she has been too nice to her lately. That's what she's acting this way. "Who the hell are you?! Why should I give you a ride?!" Claudia asked. She was already angry enough. Does he need to upset her more?
Richardwas not prepared to give up. Does this woman know who he is? "I told you that I am RichardThompson! Do you really not know who I am? I promise that you won't be running a loss if you help me out today. Just take me to Helian Entertainment" Richardsaid.
"Why should I know who you are?! And why do you need to go to Helian Entertainment?" Claudia asked. Since he had mentioned her agency, she was instantly alert.
Richardthought that he had finally caught her attention. Once she knows that he is the CEO of Helian Entertainment, she definitely won't hesitate to help him then! "I am the CEO of Helian Entertainment. Just take me there" Richardannounced with pride.
Claudia burst out laughing. This person really is completely crazy! CEO? Of Helian Entertainment? What a joke! "What? You are the CEO of Helian Entertainment? If you are the CEO then I am the Chairman's daughter!" Claudia said.
Richardwas even more surprised. He had received more surprises in the few minutes that he had spent talking to this woman than he had received in the twenty five years of his life. "You, you really don't believe me? I am the CEO of Helain Entertainment though. Why won't you believe me?" Richardasked.
Claudia started to think that something is wrong with this man. Is he perhaps a reporter, who wants to get a picture of her and write some crazy story? Or is he a crazy fan who is stalking her? "Hey, who are you? Are you a reporter? Are you following me right now for some story? Or, are you a crazy fan who is stalking me right now?" Claudia asked. She is a celebrity, if he really is a reporter, or a stalking fan, then it could be fatal for her career.
"What? Reporter? Fan? What nonsense are you talking about now?" Richardasked. He was already getting frustrated and so he raised his voice a bit. Since she is wearing sunglasses, does she think that she is a celebrity? "Since you are dressed like this do you think that you are some sort of a celebrity?" Richardasked.
Claudia was beyond angry now. This is the second time that someone is insulting her career today! She definitely won't be able to put up with it any longer! "What?! Do you really not know who I am? I am Claudia Kingston!" She said. Claudia did not believe that there was someone in this country who did not know of her
Richardthough, did not know her. Even though he owned an Entertainment agency, he did not pay much attention to the entertainment circle. Infact, in the company, he did not do any real work at all! He was the perfect lazy heir who only knew how to spend the money people earned for him! "Claudia Kingston? Is there a reason for me to know you? Just help me out. I really am the CEO of Helain Entertainment!" Richardsaid.
Claudia was more convinced that something was wrong. He is the CEO of Helian Entertainment and he doesn't know the most popular actress of his agency? What a joke! She definitely won't believe it! "I don't know who paid you to follow me around but once I find out who you really are, I definitely won't let you go at all! Now get out!" Claudia yelled.
"But I really am..." Richardtried to argue but Claudia did not give him a chance.
"Get lost!" She yelled.
Richardrealised that this woman won't be helping him at all. He was just wasting his time talking to her. He got out of the car. Before he left, he took a second look at her. She said her name is Claudia Kingston right? He will definitely find her and get back at her!
Claudia watched him get out of the car. Who the hell is that crazy physopath?
However, what the both of them did not know was someone had been taking pictures of them. From when Claudia got into her car to when Richardgot in and left, someone had taken pictures of all of it...
Claudia was still brooding over the incident when Rose came back. Immediately she saw her, Claudia started yelling at her. "Hey! Where the hell did you go?!" Claudia asked. If she was here, then that would not have happened!
Rose could see from Claudia's expression that something had happened. Did the blind date go that badly? "What happened Claudia? Did the blind date go that badly?" Rose asked her.
Claudia glared at her. "Don't ever mention that blind date in front of me. Let's just go!" Claudia said. She is upset enough as it is already. About the blind date, she was sure that woman Vivian already knew about it.
Richardwas still standing by the road trying to figure out what to do when a car pulled up in front of him. It was his best friend Matt Cathers. Richardbreathed in relief when he saw him. He was saved! He immediately got into the car.
"How did you know that I am here?" Richardasked. Matt already started the car.
"Your dad called me and asked me to get you to go to the company as soon as possible. I'm the PR director but I feel like I'm a secretary who picks up after you. Anyway I saw Marisa with your car and I asked her. She said she parted ways with you here. So the both of you broke up?" Matt asked. Matt knew Richardreally well. He knew what he was like.
"Yes, I broke up with you. I got tired of her already" Richardsaid and smiled.
Anyone else would think that it was just a normal smile, but Matt could see through that. Sometimes, he just wished that Richardcould be completely over what happened five years ago. He said he got over it but he wouldn't be acting like this if he really is over that woman right?
"Ryder, why don't you think about settling down with someone? Instead of going around in circles like this. Is he because of what happened? Because of her.?" Matt asked.
Richardturned to Matt. Why is he suddenly bringing that up? "That woman? What woman? I already told you that I'm over it. Don't bring her up again" Richardsaid.
Matt sighed, since he doesn't want to talk about it, he should drop it right?
For some minutes, the car was quiet. Then Matt suddenly turned to him. "If you were going to come why did you take so long? Because of you, I ran into a completely crazy woman!" Richardasked.
Matt turned to him. "A crazy woman? Did you find some other woman as soon as you dumped Marisa? It didn't even take you a week this time!" Matt said.
"I definitely don't want to have anything to do with that crazy woman! Is there really a woman who isn't interested in me? I really want to know that!" Richardyelled. Turns out he was still angry.
Matt could sense that something must have happened for Richardto be this angry. "What happened? Did you try to charm her?" Matt asked.
"I only asked her for a simple favour and she called me a reporter and a stalking fan! What part of me looks like a reporter? How do I look like a fan of hers? Does she think that she is some kind of a celebrity?" Richardasked.
As a PR director, Matt could already see that something has happened. Did Richardrun into a celebrity by some chance? Even if he ran into a celebrity, Richardwon't recognize her, he knew none of the artists who worked for him! "Did she tell you her name? If she is a celebrity, it makes sense that she should be worried about that" Matt said.
Richardglared at his friend. Is he taking the side of that woman now? He doesn't even know her! "What celebrity? There is no way such a crazy woman can be a celebrity! Anyway she said that her name is Claudia Kingston or something. Use all our PR resources to find that woman. I'll definitely make her pay for the insults that she gave to me today! Who the hell does she think that she is? Does she think that she can do whatever she wants?" Richardasked.
Matt turned to Ryder. There was shock in his eyes. He immediately stopped the car. "What?! You met Claudia Kingston?! " He asked. There was obvious shock written all over his face.

You should talk to him about it" Rose said gloating at Clinton.Even though she did not remember who this person was, she could see that he was trying to help her. She was even more smug now.

Rose was still engrossed in reading the news when she felt someone sit down beside her. She rasied her eyes and saw a man smiling at her.He even sat down next to her without her permission. Rose rolled her eyes. Is this guy trying to flirt with her right now? She definitely wasn't in the mood to do this."Hi....I can sit here right?" The man asked. He seemed to have a lot of confidence in his charm."If I say no, are you going to get lost?" Rose said.The man was obviously surprised. He wasn't expecting her to react like this.Rose rolled her eyes when she saw the suprise on his face. Did he think that she was going to be charmed if he did something like this? Whatever.

He shook his head. He had to clear his mind."You ....what do you think that you were doing?!" Claudia yelled. One word popped in her mind to describe the man in front of her and that was the fact that he was a pervert!"What did I do?" Richardasked nonchalantly. When it came to acting shamelessly, there really was no one who could beat him up to it."You.. you were clearly taking advantage of me!" Claudia said."So...?" He asked raising an eyebrow. At least, he did not regret it. Her waist .. it was soft to the touch!"Pervert!" Claudia spat out the word in her mind."Pervert? Since you are already accusing me, I should act like one right?" Richardasked.Claudia felt her face go red. She had always been the one embarrassing people with her words. She was suddenly faced with a completely shamel

That was sure.Claudia sneered. "immediately you saw my mother, you addressed her as mother. When did the both of you get so close? Is it because you don't have any intention of breaking up with me and you already got close to her?" Claudia asked with a smile on her face."...."Once again, Richardwas mercilessly defeated!

Matt took it from him and Peter lit another one.Matt could not help asking, "sir, why did you make Richardand Claudia get Married? It's not because of the scandal right? You have another reason right? What's it?""You figured it out?" He asked him.Matt smiled knowingly. He knew that for Peter to be this serious about the marriage and to agree like this, he was probably thinking about something. Thinking about how he led Richardto believe that Claudia had feelings for him yesterday, he was in a wonderful mood. After all, people who were watching from the sides were never afriad of the matter blowing up!Peter said, "Sigh, I really don't know what to do about this son of mine.

Why should he apologize to her? Sbe did like him right? If she likes him then she should be open about her feelings...after all they were so many women who liked him. She did not have to pretend and act coy in front of him."What are you shouting for?" Richardasked with a lazy look on his face.Claudia "...." For a few seconds, she was speechless. She thought that he was going to apologise after she caught him doing such perverted things to her. But he did not apologise! She had been preparing herself

Never in thier life did they think that the matter was going to blow up like this. What did he mean by getting Married?Claudia was angry?
