Leon was full of rage. He walked the halls of the hotel, and called Angela.
Angela had seen the news as well. She answered the phone, starting the conversation with, "Calm down, calm down. Listen to me..."
"I shall not listen." Leon coldly interrupted Angela, "I don't want to accuse an innocent person groundlessly... so figure this out. Find out if Zane was really involved with it."
Angela answered, "Don't be too upset. It's not that serious. I'll figure it out right now. But, promise me, don't do anything before you hear from me."
Leon took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
Angela hung up the phone after counselling Leon again and again.
Leon's had nowhere to vent his anger. On second thought, he called Tripp.
Tripp was having a meeting with scriptwriters. He felt puzzled with Leon's words, "What the hell? Who is comfortable?"
Leon spluttered because of anger. He did not even bother to explain, he saying with impatience, "I can't tell you the details. Look at the news yourself."
Tripp searched for the entertainment news of the day.
Minutes later, Tripp called back in a tranquil tone, "I've seen the news. They are lying."
Leon shut his eyes for a moment, answering a bit reluctantly, "Thank you for looking into it for me... But are you going to make sure?"
Apparently, Tripp did not take Zane, an insignificant actor, seriously. He said with indifference, "To clarify what? They didn't claim that Zane was the leading actor. We never published any information about leading roles to the public. Everyone is guessing. Are we going to clarify every guess? Are you insane?"
The words stuck in Leon's throat. He had to compromise, "Alright..."
Tripp was the director, and he was not in charge of promotional matters. Leon had turned to wrong person.
After hanging up the phone, Leon tried to look up the person in charge of promotion department of Scumbags, but he suddenly remembered that there wasn't even a promotions department!
What was a promotion department for in a film which could not be approved to be on?
What the hell...
Jules was not pleased with the news, so he intended to distract his attention from the news by having some snacks on the top floor of the hotel. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Leon looking at his cellphone in the corridor with a face of gloomy thunder.
If Jules wanted to get to the elevator, he would have to pass by Leon.
Maybe it was because of Jules's demeanor, he was afraid Leon would fly into a rage and smite him if he got too close.
Jules was so scared that he stepped back.
"Aren't you going to have some snacks?" Willet was still reading tweets when Jules turned back, so he asked, "If you don't want to trouble yourself, I can fetch it for you."
"No...no, thanks."
Jules sat back on the sofa, guessing Leon would have seen the news too.
If he had not seen it, someone must have contacted him about the news.
Jules saddened heart raised again, like a hydrogen balloon floating up into the air.
Jules thought Leon would not take the news serious, laughing it off.
After all, Leon was bounded to hype other for countless times, and he should have been used to it.
Nevertheless, obviously, he got angry.
Jules coughed up and could help feeling good about it.
Leon got angry because of me!
It's so blissful!
Jules felt happy in his heart though he was taken advantage by Zane just now.
There was a toothpick on the edge of his mouth.
My idol got angry for me.
Will Leon swear in his anger?
It was a shame that Jules could not hear it himself.
Jules never told others every time Leon swore, he would get cold feet.
"Jules..."Willet was terrified, "Are you alright? Are you mad at the news? Why are you smiling..."
Jules got choked on Willet's word. He rubbed his face, explaining with a straight face, "That's alright. I am too angry, so I can't help laughing."
Jules's word hurt Willet's heart, "There on one else here. So don't force yourself to smile."
......
Leon went back to his room after cooling himself off in the corridor for a while.
To avoid being vented on by Leon, Marcia and the dressers had left the room. There was only Vivian still in the dressing room.
On seeing Leon's face, Vivian gave a hollow laugh: "Well... Angela called you a few minutes before, but the line was busy, so she called me."
Leon looked at Vivian.
