117 A TONE OF SUDDEN EPIPHANY (2/2)

Hu Lei thought about it for a moment. It would be interesting to see how the magic happens for once. Plus, now that she had seen the movie trailer, she felt that she just might like the outcome.

Like many 'professional readers', Hu Lei did believe that books were superior to their movie adaptations. If she read a book, she would normally not look for its adaptation. However, after seeing that trailer, she felt that there was something special about seeing imaginary characters become real people.

”Alright, I will make some time. You can inform Mr Bo about the details, and I will show up.” She agreed.

She did not want to awkwardly turn down an offer to exchange numbers, so she directly solved the problem by placing Bo Qian in between. With that, the gathering of the people dispersed. Hu Lei sighed and started walking towards the elevator.

Immediately, Assistant Chen made an appearance.

”Would you like to head to the writer's meet directly?” He asked.

”Yeah, if we don't hurry, I might not meet my idol.” She smiled.

Hu Lei had heard about the writer's gathering from Bo Qian. It was not a large event. Rather, Sonata had organised it to help the top fans meet their favourite authors. Naturally, not all authors were invited, only the most popular and famous. Luckily, her favourite author would be there.

The event was super exclusive, but the diehard fans were willing to pay a lot of money for a ticket. Fortunately, Hu Lei had connections, so she directly got a ticket.

At first, she had been worried about the press conference being set on the same day as that gathering. However, Bo Qian had explained that there was no conflict. After all, the conference was only meant to reintroduce her to the world.

The news about the movie and her comeback would not be known until later. So, she could attend the writer's meet in peace.

”Ms Hu, please wait a moment.” Bo Qian called out just as they reached the elevator.

Hu Lei stopped and looked at the rushing man. Had she forgotten something?

”Are you heading to the Maven Resort directly?” He asked.

”Yes, would you like to come along with me?” She tilted her head in question.

Assistant Chen's eyes became sharper. If another man casually took a ride with the lady boss, he might need to say goodbye to his small life. No, he could not allow this to happen. It would not be a problem to send one or two or three cars. But this man would definitely not sit beside her.

”No, I still have some things to do.” Bo Qian said quickly.

Even if he had nothing to do, he did not have the guts to ride with her. When he came too close to Hu Lei, he always felt a cold layer of ice covering his body. It was residue trauma from when Zhong Feng had looked at him and spoken a few words a few weeks ago. He had not even done anything. He had only been so excited about Hu Lei's work and had not even been sitting that close to her.

”Anyway, I wanted to inform you that we will be uploading the books tonight. You should check into your account I set up and say a few words.” He continued.

Hu Lei nodded in acquiescence and waved before stepping into the elevator with Assistant Chen.

Some distant away, Bei Gong Hai looked at the two people. Though his attention was mostly focused on the little author, he could not help thinking that the man looked a little familiar.
