Chapter 197 Set the place on fire (1/2)

When Lexi arrived at the River Lounge Bar where they would hang out; Rika, Elliot Gong, Gael, and other casts of the movie Taming Hearts were already there— partying. With the duration of their filming, Lexi did not only befriended Rika and Elliot but also, the other leads from the said movie.

To her knowledge, they came from promoting the movie and Rika, the ever promotor into this encouraged them to ease their stress by partying. After all, when they wrapped up the filming, everyone only had a few days rest before they started promoting the movie. Especially, now that there was another movie that was also directed by a promising director just like Arnold Shen. Therefore, everyone was tensed since both directors had been a tough competitor of each other all these years.

”Best--!” Seeing the fine, confident lady on her red, bullseye maxi dress that has a slimline silhouette with a cowl through the neckline and back, thin strap, and a large slit up to her upper right leg— displaying every curve of her body and too much skin; not to mention, her cleavage made Rika bulge her eyes.

Lexi's hair was arranged into a loose bun that has a few strands of hair dangling down. Still, it was not enough to cover her slender, work of art neck. She strode towards the long table where Rika and a few other colleagues perched.

Scanning their faces that have their eyes locked on her, Lexi raised her brows as she was slightly confused with their odd stare.

”Umm, hello?” Awkwardly snapping them back despite the loud music bombing the whole place, it was somewhat effective as Rika reacted first and welcomed her with arms spread wide.

”Bestie?! Gosh! Are you trying to set the place on fire?!” Although Rika was wearing a black bodycon dress that made her an eye-candy— Lexi set the standard on a different level with her demeanor and how she carried the revealing dress with pride and dignity.

”Huh?” Puzzled at her friend's exaggeration, Lexi quickly glanced down at her outfit before returning them back to Rika's magnetizing eyes. ”Do I look weird?” She asked. She could not understand why Rika was surprised as the entertainment industry was filled with gorgeous, sexy ladies.

In retrospect, ever since Lexi became friends with Rika, she always wore conservative dresses just because she's in the mood to wear so. However, that didn't mean she doesn't wear a revealing dress as well. After all, Lexi was a huge fan of different fashion and would wear a different one based on her mood.

”Don't worry, Mr. Darcy, I will protect your darling.” Murmuring, Rika's determination reached its zenith knowing Ethan Lu wasn't around and his wifey was on the loose.

”Haha,” Chuckling at how adorable her friend was acting, thinking about Ethan Lu at this time— she was in awe of her loyalty. ”Such a lucky guy to have support like you.”

”Huh! How I wish Mr. Main Task is here~!” Churu who was invisible to everyone but to Lexi commented. She was also wearing a matching dress like Lexi's with red lace gloves added to her elegance. She then flew towards Elliot Gong and sat on his broad shoulder.

”Lexi! Woah! Now I regret not including you to the promotion.” Arnold Shen approached the two gorgeous ladies with a dejected look plastered across his face. However, the sound of his voice contained insincerity as he knew that Lexi's absence to the promotion would add curiosity to the audience.

”Hehe, Director Shen,” Lexi slightly bowed her head with a smile as she knew that Arnold Shen didn't mean what he said because she fully understood his cause.

”Take a seat, you ladies should sit first.” Back to his cheerfulness, Arnold Shen didn't dwell on his so-called regrets as he gestured them to take a seat.

”How's everyone?” Greeting them, Lexi slightly bowed her head to the people around the table. Just as she asked about their well being, a petite, tall man in a loose v-neck black blouse stood and bowed his head across her.

”Miss Yang, good to see you doing well.” Gael Ho, the main male lead of the movie Taming Hearts greeted as he offered his hand. However, just as Lexi was about to accept his hand for an odd handshake, Elliot Gong beside Gael reached for her hand first.
