Chapter 170
Love Is Fair
Chapter 170 Humiliated It was not the first time Henric had sold his body, but he was still nervous. Most powerful people were weird and unpredictable. If he served them well, he would have a bright future, but if he didnât, he would be thrown into hell. Henric used to loathe this circle. He thought it was dirty and the glamorous celebrities were mean at heart, but he gradually assimilated because he didnât want to spend his life in obscurity. âYou have to get fun out of it,â Carlo, the producer, once said, slapping him on the face. In the shower, Henric carefully rubbed every inch of himself, but his heart was already dirty. He sneered and suddenly remembered the line: people eventually become what they hate most.
He was willing to pay any price, even if he had to bark on his knees like a dog, as long as he could succeed. He had just turned off the shower when he heard someone open the door. Through the glass door of the bathroom, he vaguely saw a slender figure walk in. âMs. Newman is back!â His heart pounded again at the thought of her aura. He clenched his fist to encourage himself. âDonât be afraid, Henric, she wonât eat you!â Then he put on a towel and walked out. The moment he walked out, he froze because Hailey wasnât waiting to âenjoyâ him but was working on the couch with her laptop. She was fully dressed and had only changed into slippers. She looked professional and aloof. Hailey glanced at him flatly. âSit.â Henric was confused. He had met many professional women. Many of them were elegant and independent in front of people, but in private, they smoked and cursed, and were even more promiscuous than prostitutes. He had expected to be pounced on or ordered to kneel and lick her shoes as soon as he came out, but she just let him sit. âWhatâs going on?â Henric didnât sit.
Hailey just typed with her head down and asked flatly, âYou studied physical education?â Henric realized that she might be checking his profile. He immediately replied, âYes, I was a⦠vaulter.â âYou were a state-class athlete. Youâve competed in many national competitions and won gold medals. Why didnât you make the national team?â
Henric had been an actor for years and had almost forgotten that he was once an athlete. He rarely mentioned it to anyone. Jodie only let the hosts on the variety shows ask him to play with other stars.
He replied, âIt was exhausting. My family was poor and I wasnât fit enough to make the national team, so I gave up and coincidentally got into show business.â His team made this up for him to answer on talk shows, but he hadnât been on many talk shows and he had almost forgotten the words and the real reason he gave up sports. However, the Internet remembered. Hailey continued, âYouâre from a rural area, but your father owns a factory and your mother runs a business. Youâre an only child.
Was your family really that poor? The national teamâs vaulting coach invited you to train with the national team, but you chose to do commercials and enter the entertainment industry.â She exposed him directly. Henric was embarrassed. He didnât know why Hailey was talking to him about this. Did she just want to talk to him? He said casually, âReally? I almost forgot. Ms. Newman, itâs getting late. Do you want to take a shower orâ¦â Hailey interrupted him and continued, âYou worked as a stunt double first after you entered the entertainment industry?â âYes.â Henric was a little impatient. He felt that those days only reminded him that he had been humble, but he couldnât offend her. He smiled at Hailey and said, âMs. Newman, how aboutâ¦â Hailey asked, âWas it fun?â The smile froze on Henricâs face. âNo.â âWhat does she want?â Hailey, âYou must be pretty flexible.â Henric, âNot much.â
âFor Godâs sake!â Hailey, âDid you push Dorian?â Henric answered subconsciously, âYes.â It suddenly quieted down. Henric was impatient, but he realized what had just happened and looked up quickly.
Hailey was looking at him coldly. His heart pounded. He felt like she was seeing through him again as she had done on the set. At that moment, there was a knock on the door, Henric turned around quickly and saw Jodie walk in. He was confused, âWhat are you doing here?â Jodie was also contused. âIs it over? So soon?â
Hailey just turned off the recorder and said llatly, âGet him out of here.â Her face was expressionless, but they didnât dare to ask and had to pick up the clothes and walk out of the room. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a cold face. Ower was talking to the security guard at the door when the door opened trom the inside. Two men came out and one of them was getting dressed. His face quickly darkened.
