True Star

Chapter 90: Collaboration

Tang Feng didn't leave the hotel for two days straight. If he wasn't reading a book inside his room, he would be actively working out in the gym. Tang Feng's current body was in rather good shape and he hoped he could keep it that way. Moreover, for a man who could never run in the past in fear of a heart attack, being able to exercise and work up a sweat was simply a great feeling.

Lu Tian Chen would sometimes pull Tang Feng along for a game of tennis. At first, Tang Feng suffered utter defeat at the hands of a seasoned player like Lu Tian Chen. But Tang Feng was a fast learner, even though he still wasn't able to beat Lu Tian Chen in a game, at least his score wasn't zero anymore.

Just like this, he passed two leisurely days. Tang Feng was going to meet with Director Li Wei the next day. Even though it was well before the prearranged meeting time, Tang Feng had already arrived at the meeting place. Luckily, he was meeting Director Li Wei in the exact hotel Lu Tian Chen had booked. All Tang Feng had to do was take the elevator to the right floor.

Tang Feng looked down at his watch. There was still half an hour left until nine. It wasn't too early or too late: just the right time for him to show up.

The young actor took a deep breath and pulled lightly at his collar. Tang Feng did his best to remain calm. He might look completely unperturbed on the outside, but he couldn't suppress the faint excitement in his heart.

Ever since he was first nominated for the International Award for Best Actor, Tang Feng never had to go through an interview again. However, it wasn't too difficult for him to get accustomed to auditioning for roles once more. After all, he wasn't an international star or a well-known actor at the moment. He was simply a nameless small-time celebrity from China. After adjusting his state of mind, Tang Feng strode into the elevator and pushed the button for the right floor. Slowly, the elevator doors closed upon itself.

"Albert, what were you looking at just now? A man, right? Wow. You got tired of your old toy and found a new one already?" A tall, young man wearing sunglasses said in a somewhat jealous voice. While speaking, the youth walked over to a green-eyed man's side.

The young man wearing sunglasses looked to be about twenty years old. His height and stylish way of dress drew many eyes to him as he walked across the hotel lobby. The tall youth didn't spare a glance at anyone, instead he headed directly towards a man who had just stepped inside the hotel.

The green eyes of the man in question seemed to be covered with a layer of ice. Under the lamplights, the man's golden hair gave off a resplendent shine that charmed the eyes. Only, the prominent gloomy expression on his face warded off anyone who might've thought about approaching him.

"Ah, I just saw a familiar face by chance." Albert retracted his eyes from the elevator, a small smile gracing his lips. He slid an arm around the young man's waist and led him towards the elevator.

"You didn't let me pick you up at the airport, but I'll look past that. Now you're staring at some other man right in front of my eyes. If I didn't come here today, you'd probably forget all about me." The young man smiled and leaned against Albert.

The two of them stopped before the elevator. Albert pressed a button and looked at the floor number displayed above as the elevator came back down. Quietly, he said, "I'll give you ten seconds to get lost from my sight. Ten..."

The young man didn't know why the attitude of the previously smiling Albert did such a sudden flip. But when he heard the countdown, he immediately broke into a run and left Albert's side, his hurry to leave drawing many curious glances. He knew of Albert's kindness, but had also personally witnessed the man's cruelty.
