Demons Beside You - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Body Double?

Chen Zhao and Sharan drank at an open air coffee shop. Displeased, Chen Zhao said, “You want me to speak for you with just a three dollar coffee? Don’t you think it’s too cheap?”

“Are you trying to cheat my money?” Sharan looked at Chen Zhao in disgust.

“Whatever you think it is.” Chen Zhao took a sip of coffee.

“I’ll remember you! Just wait!” Sharan stood up in anger and left.

Chen Zhao looked at Sharan’s back. Free coffee was not too bad either.

Chen Zhao was about to get into his car when he heard someone say, “Are you Mr. Chen?”

Chen Zhao turned around and realized it was the saleswoman from the car store that time. He could not remember her name.

“You are…”

“I’m Palis. Do you not remember me?”

“Oh, Palis. I remember.”

Palis looked at the car behind Chen Zhao. “Mr. Chen, is this your car?”

“Yes, why?”

“Didn’t you buy an Aston Martin DB11 AMR from our shop?”

“Ha… Actually I was just buying it for someone else. I can’t afford that kind of car.” Chen Zhao smiled.

Palis’ passion was extinguished at once. She glanced at Chen Zhao, not interested in him anymore.

“I’m leaving now. Bye.” Palis waved her hand. Before Chen Zhao even replied, she turned around and left.

She had originally thought that Chen Zhao was a wealthy bachelor, but he turned out to be poor as well.

Palis was very disappointed. Although she was also not rich herself, she looked down on the poor.

When she returned to her car, her phone rang.

“Hey, Palis, where are you now?”

“On my way back.” It was her boyfriend. He continued impatiently, “Come back, quick. Change your clothes and be prepared.”

“Why? Be prepared for what?”

“I heard that Mr. Steven is recruiting actors for his new movie.”

Palis was surprised. “Is there a suitable role for me?”

She was not an actress and had also never acted before, but in Los Angeles, all women dreamed of becoming a star. This was of course true for Palis as well.

“No.”

“Then why should I be prepared?”

“Although there isn’t a role for you, I heard that the female lead has been decided. The film crew is now looking for a double for her. I’ve sent your photo to the assistant director. He’s very satisfied, but he wishes to interview you himself.”

“You mean I’ll be a body double for the lead?” Palis was hesitant.

After all, a body double surely would not have frontal and close-up shots. It seemed to be pointless.

“That’s right,” Palis’ boyfriend said in excitement. “If you get to know the female lead, perhaps you can ask her to find me a good role!”

Palis finally got it. Her boyfriend had just been thinking for himself and not for her.

“I still have my own job. How can I just go and be a double?” Palis said.
