Chapter 353
“Go to the bathroom.
I’ll see who’s checking up on me.
I’m guessing it’s someone from the crew.
” Regardless of what Theodore wished, Ariana pushed and guided his wheelchair into the narrow bathroom.
Theodore covered his nose in disgust and asked, “What is that strange smell in here?” ©
“That’s the sewer.
We have no choice since this room is cheap.
” Ariana shrugged helplessly.
The knocks on the door continued.
She swiftly closed the bathroom door and rushed over to open the bedroom door.
“stop knocking!” Cursing under her breath, she opened the door.
Whoever was knocking outside didn’t know she’d pull the door open suddenly, causing him to nearly lose his balance and fall into the room.
Ariana reacted quickly and took a big step back to avoid the person falling onto her.
“What are you doing here?” She stared at Francis and asked him in a frigid tone.
He held on to the door frame for support and wore a peaked cap.
He should be directing the shoot right now.
Why was he here? Ariana could clearly remember what happened earlier in the afternoon.
She quickly became more vigilant.
Francis smirked and said, “I’m here to apologize to you.
”
Francis’ ingratiating smile sickened her once more.
“No need, Mr.
Salazar.
I know you didn’t mean to.
Don’t mention it.
”
Francis narrowed his eyes before he pretended to be a gentleman and said, “Since it was a misunderstanding, we’ll let it slide.
I have something else to discuss with you regarding the script.
” He then walked into the room, completely ignoring her wishes.
“Mr.
Salazar, I’m an agent.
Not an actress.
There’s no need for you to discuss the script with me.
” Ariana feared he was using this situation as an excuse to do some nasty things to her.
She narrowed her eyes and added as politely as she could, “Please leave.
I’ve got work to do and I don’t have time to talk about nonsense.
”
An opportunity like this was hard to come by, so why would Francis leave so easily?
He gazed at her with lust-filled eyes, scanning her from head to toe before uttering, “Being an agent won’t get you fame or fortune.
If you like, I know of numerous ways to help you get them.
”
Realizing what he truly meant, Ariana felt disgusted.
She asked him

straightforwardly, “So you want me to trade my body for fame and fortune? You’re dealing with the wrong person.
I’m neither interested in becoming an actress nor becoming famous.
”
Seeing she truly wasn’t interested, Francis changed his tone and threatened, “It’s alright if you don’t want to.
But then I’ll have to delete Tyler’s scenes later.
I have influence among the directors.
All I have to do is inform my friends and Tyler will be kicked out of the industry in no time.
However, if you follow my orders, I assure you that Tyler will be well taken care of in the future.
I’ll even give him more scenes, making him the most important supporting role.
”
After hearing such nonsense, she wanted to curse him at first.
But once she saw the light in the bathroom, she felt worried.
Due to the poor soundproofing of the room, Theodore must have overheard every word of their conversation.
She didn’t know what he was thinking right now.
With no time left to argue with Francis, she continued, “It isn’t too late for you to get the f@ck out of my room now.
Don’t blame me for not warning you.
”
Francis sneered before continuing to belittle her.
“You’re just a new agent.
You’ve got no background and no backer.
What do you think you can do to me? Even Sarah knows to respect me and beg me for another chance.
”
As he spoke, he approached Ariana and reached out a hand to try and touch her slender waist.
But then a loud bang came from the bathroom door suddenly opening.
The fragile door quivered from the force and was just hanging by a thread from the frame.
The person who opened it was absolutely furious.
Francis was scared to death.
He witnessed the man slowly emerge from the bathroom in a wheelchair.
The look on the man’s face was gloomy and terrifying.
For a moment, Francis felt a slight tingle run over his entire scalp and a freezing sensation on his nape.
