Chapter 128 New Friend (2/2)
Upon hearing her, Rika grinned and she let out a slight chuckle. She had heard that Lexi was frank and a straightforward person, but, she didn't expect that she'd also admit this kind of stuff. Well, Rika was not to blame as her first impression of Lexi was an unreasonable diva that thinks too highly of herself.
She wouldn't be surprised if Lexi still acted that way because Lexi initially came from a wealthy family and her acting was impeccable which made things easier. Thus, what's important to Rika was, as long as Lexi wouldn't trouble her, the actress wouldn't meddle with her.
Alas, who would have thought that Rika liked the girl after observing her in the past two days? Hence, after their scene just now, she approached Lexi.
”Haha, I see… I really can't believe anything in this industry unless I see it myself.” Rika faintly muttered in between her chuckles. Turning her gaze back to Lexi's ethereal beauty that suited the ancient clothing really well -- displaying a beauty of a goddess, Rika grinned before she spoke.
”Wanna eat dinner with us?”
Her sudden invitation made Lexi furrowed her brows. She didn't see it coming as she was satisfied to get her work done and rest afterward. Moreover, Lexi somehow remained distant from everyone except Arnold Shen. Therefore, this sudden friendliness Rika was showing made her suspicious about her intention.
”Come on, let's be friends.” Seeing that Lexi's expression tells her to scram, Rika blurted out her genuine intention but to no avail, Lexi was unconvinced.
”Wow, she's rather nice~” Churu commented as she scrutinized the delicate beauty in front of them.
In her eyes, although Rika was wearing a simple white dress that had dirt all over because of the fight scene, it wasn't enough to conceal her beauty. Also, unlike Lexi's sharp facial features that make her look like a snob, Rika, on the other hand, had this kind of vibe that she could be approachable and also not.
”Tsk tsk, are you going to reject your senior's offer?” Pouting, Rika showed a disheartened expression seeing that Lexi's expression didn't change a tad bit.
”Uh, no. I'm sorry, I'm just a little cautious towards that word friendship.” Drawing back from her curious mind, Lexi cleared her throat as she uttered her blunt opinion.
Indeed, aside from the friends that left her hanging in the air months ago, the first human that offered her friendship since the start of her second life confessed to her last night that he had an ulterior motive and now, he was her half suitor half friend. Thus, Lexi didn't want to go circles with Rika. After all, this is the entertainment industry.
”I knew it. Don't worry, I like you.” Instead of being offended, Rika's inkling towards Lexi rose even more. Since Rika was an established and famous actress that was free from any scandals since the beginning of her career, she was well respected.
So, it was obvious that Rika was surrounded by tons of different people that it was hard for her to discern who were genuine to her and not. She resumed with a bright smile,
”I will be treating everyone to dinner at XX restaurant and since we are staying in the same hotel, let's go together alright?”
