Chapter 192 The problem of having no labels (2/2)

Lexi listened to Rika's reasoning which made a little sense if she thought about it deeper. However, Lexi wasn't the type of person who could anyone to flirt with, hence, she wasn't worried about that.

Also, she trusted Ethan Lu and uphold the words and emotions he bore for her. Thus, Lexi knew that even if someone tries to get closer to him, he'd ward them off— if he didn't and resigned to temptations then, there's nothing she could do.

”That's not going to happen,” Chuckling after considering her personality and Ethan Lu, Lexi reassured her friend on the line who was more affected with their unlabeled status than the both of them.

”Urgh! Bestie, I am telling you this so you won't have any problems like that in the future-- being in a relationship than having no labels at all won't hurt right?” Heavily sighing her frustrations, Rika helplessly muttered.

”Committing to a relationship without giving your all would hurt the other party. Don't worry, me and Ethan will eventually get there-- remember? My yes means wedding?” In a matter of factly tone, Lexi raised her brows as if waiting for Rika to process her words.

”Ah… right. But, don't make me say I told you so.” Still disappointed, Rika let out another heavy sigh as she foresaw her ship's problem in the future.

Brushing off her concerns, Rika diverted their topic to the real reason why she called. ”Anyway, the premiere night of is coming and I heard you'd walk the red carpet with Eli?”

”Mhmm, I've heard but it's not yet finalized-- you know, my name just got cleared. Walking with Eli on the premiere night might cause everything to resurface.” Sighing heavily, Lexi was reminded with this headache as Arnold Shen requested Lexi and Elliot Gong to arrive together at the premiere night of the movie Taming Hearts.

Of course, Lexi knew what he was thinking as it was obvious. However, even if it was for the sake of publicity and make the movie to be more talk about, alas, Abigail Fan was completely against it as it might affect her reputation again. Nevertheless, Lexi was fine with or without an escort.

”Well, I don't want to bother with it for now. When are you free?” Shrugging off the matter, Lexi meekly smiled as she wanted to treat her friend as she really worked hard promoting their movie while she was on a vacation.

Ethan Lu stopped spinning the pen in his hand as he raised his sharpened gaze to meet Lyrick Jiang's eyes behind his thin-framed eyeglass.

”What did he say?” Furrowing his brows, he flatly asked as his eyes narrowed.

”CEO Liu personally made an urgent business appointment with you tonight.” Repeating his report, Lyrick Jiang slightly shook his head as Morris Liu only made a brief call and remained his words short and precise as usual.

In retrospect, Morris Liu could call his boss if he needed anything-- same with Ethan Lu.

'Was their misunderstanding hasn't cleared yet?' Lyrick Jiang thought inwardly as he assumed everything was settled since Morris Liu didn't cut off his boss' from their joint business projects.

”I see… well, clear my schedule for the night.” Nodding in understanding, Ethan Lu commanded.

Several reasons hovered in his mind why Morris Liu suddenly made a meeting with him. Regardless, whether it was good or bad news, it didn't matter. Furthermore, he also wanted to talk with Morris Liu regarding what happened in their last encounter with each other. After all, they had been brothers for a long time.
