Chapter 518 - Back You Up (1)



On the other side, Harold drove Stephanie back to the hotel.

On the way, Stephanie fell asleep. When they arrived, the assistant shook her awake. Stephanie waved goodbye to Harold with exhaustion. When the assistant helped her to the bed, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "What did he say to you in the car?"

"Didn't you fall asleep? Did you hear it?" the assistant asked in surprise.

"Yeah, a little. Hurry up and tell me. I'm so sleepy," Stephanie murmured.

The assistant removed her makeup and said softly, "He wanted you to be careful of the man acting with you."

"Mr. Peterson? Why?" Stephanie opened her eyes and then closed them because she was so sleepy.

"I don't know why he said that." The assistant could not think of a reason.

"Oh." Getting no answer, Stephanie fell asleep.

Harold turned the car around and met the guy acting as the male lead at the set. The man had just gotten out of the car, followed by two assistants. Another assistant drove his car into the garage and the other two helped him to the hotel.

After drinking some wine, he had a drunken look on his face but he could walk steadily.

Harold stopped the car.

When he saw the man, he could see the malicious intent in his eyes. It was hard to imagine how he managed to get to this position in the entertainment circle. He actually began to reveal his true nature in front of the public. He probably thought that Harold was just a small fry.

Harold did not know which floor Stephanie stayed on, so he called her. The phone rang for a long time before Stephanie's sleepy voice came from the other side, "Hello? Who is it?"

"What's your room number?"

"903, what's wrong? Harold? Are you home so soon?" Stephanie looked at the caller's name in confusion.

Harold was speechless.

He got off the car and walked to the elevator. The man and two assistants had gone up. The elevator slowly rose to the ninth floor and stopped.

Harold entered another elevator, and he wanted to confirm that Stephanie was fine before leaving.

However, as soon as he entered the elevator, he met Stephanie's assistant. "Hey, why haven't you left?"

"Why did you come down?" Harold asked.

"I'm going to buy some food. Stephanie hasn't eaten tonight. What about you? Do you want to eat something?" the assistant asked.

"I will go up and take a look," Harold said, waving his hand.

The assistant wanted to give him the room card, but thinking that having a strange man at Stephanie's door would damage her reputation and that she did not quite trust him, he said, "Then I will go with you."

Harold nodded.

The two re-entered the elevator and the elevator door slowly closed.

On the ninth floor, across the long corridor, Harold could see the man he had met this afternoon knocking on the door of 903 and swiping his card over and over again. The assistant next to him pulled him and said, "Your room is next door, not this one."

"I want to sleep in this room." The man was still swiping the card, and after the fifth time, the door suddenly opened.

Stephanie stood at the door and asked with sleepy eyes, "Mr. Peterson? What's up?"

The man stood at the door and asked, "Can I go in?"

Stephanie was probably in a daze and did not know how she answered. In short, the man followed her in.

Harold and Stephanie's assistant looked at each other.

"What kind of relationship do they have?" Harold asked.

If they were a couple, he would not intervene.

"I don't know, but I don't think Stephanie likes him." The assistant swallowed.

"Go in and stay with her," Harold said.

"Oh, okay." The assistant took a few steps and turned back to ask, "Do you know something so you followed?"

"I don't. I just saw him come up and wanted to follow him to take a look." Harold slightly frowned.

"Oh," The assistant rushed in but was stopped by the two assistants at the door. "He's busy inside. Get in later."

Initially, Harold was planning to leave. Seeing this scene, he walked over, took the card from the assistant, and opened the door.

In the room were one standing and one lying on. The three looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The assistant at the door was dumbfounded.

Harold quickly closed the door and stared at the man on the ground. He then looked at Stephanie, who was standing with her eyes wide open, and asked, "Did he do something to you?"

Stephanie did not know what to say. Adrien usually looked quite serious. Today, he probably had a drink and said something to her. When he came in, he asked if the intimate scene could be rehearsed now. Although there was such a scene, Stephanie did not think it was appropriate. Maybe tomorrow, the headlines would be "Famous Actors Practice Scenes on the Bed".

As a result, the moment Adrien came over, Stephanie used the technique taught by the martial arts instructor for no reason. She stretched out her legs to trip him over. The instructor said that if a girl couldn't escape or do anything, she had to use things around her as much as possible. If there was nothing, she had to defend herself with fighting. If she could run fast, she had to run, and if she couldn't, she had to make the first move. If the man was drunk, it would be better to knock him down. He absolutely couldn't get up.

She didn't know how to knock the guy down, but she didn't want to hurt his face, so she used the gentlest method, tripping him over.

As a result, when Harold opened the door, he saw this scene.

The guy lying on the ground saw Harold and widened his eyes in surprise. Then, he sat up and looked at Stephanie in disbelief. "So you and him.... You are dating a bodyguard?"
