Chapter 222 Taming Hearts premiere nigh (1/2)
Seeing their stupid stare, Lexi was not bothered as she retouched her makeup, since she didn't have her own glam team or rather, she didn't ask for it even though Abigail Fan proposed to send a whole team to help her doll up.
Granted that Lexi was curious about Morris Liu's action, she didn't overlook the fact that the Liu Empire said a few good words hence, she must take advantage of it while it's fresh.
After retouching her makeup, Lexi glanced down on her lap where Churu was looking up at her with an 'O' shaped lips. She then shifted her gaze to her side where Abigail Fan had the same expression as the little dumpling that made Lexi roll her eyes.
”Stop looking at me like that, this is business— nothing personal.” With those short remarks, the van slowly moved forward and stopped when the van's side sliding door was in front of the red carpet.
”Snap out of it— it's my turn.” Lexi snapped her fingers in front of Abigail Fan that effectively brought her back to reality.

Several minutes before Lexi arrived, Rika with her escort Gael Zhang and Director Arnold Shen walked the red carpet. She was linking arms with them: Arnold Shen on her right while Gael Zhang on her left.
Undoubtedly, with her champagne, sparkling mermaid gown, long sleeve with a neckline collar that embossed her sexy curves and only revealed her collarbones, yet, it could only tease the bystander on what's hidden beneath it.
The three posed before the countless flashing lights of the camera while screams and shouts rung out from the fan's section.
”Miss Rika, Miss Rika! Please look here!” One photographer giddily shouted still rapping incessantly on the click button of his camera.
”Kyaah~! Gael my love~!! So handsome~!”
”My Goddess Rika!!”
”Waah~! They really look good together~! I shippp!”
Similar screams of fans were heard along with the resounding click of the cameras at them. As usual, Rika excitedly waved her hands to her fans as she unlinked her arms from Gael.
On the other hand, Gael Zhang cooly smiled, revealing his even white teeth that made his fans go nuts! He modestly waved his hands to the screaming fans before the three of them headed to the host that was currently announcing, and complimenting the three of them. He was also in charge to interview them at the end of the red carpet.
”Director Shen, since this was your last movie to direct before retiring, how was your experience throughout the months of filming and what do you feel about it?” Sounding amused yet professional at the same time, the host discreetly asked.
”Well, I must say it was one of the most memorable movies I had worked on with all of the talented artists that gave their best to vividly portray their characters. I can say that I feel emotional and fulfilled with it.” Smiling from ear to ear, Arnold Shen answered the question given with all his honesty. The host nodded in understanding as he asked a few more questions before moving onto Rika.
”Miss Rika, I see you're as dazzling as ever!” The host casually praised Rika that made her chuckle and everyone near them. ”What are the things to look forward to from the movie Taming Hearts?”
”Well, actually, when I read the script, I said that instant 'I will audition in this movie— any role is fine just to be a part of it.' that's how great this movie is.” Rika smoothly promoted with a dazzling smile on her glossy lips.
