Chapter 638 - Can Anyone Rival My Handsomeness?

The Korean star who had been ignored, "Oppa," now snorted, "Stop daydreaming. Can't you see their grandeur? Do you think such wealthy people would become stars under your management?" He coldly glanced at his agent. If he didn't know that the agent's nature was to not let people with potential slip away, he might have exploded earlier.

An agent like him, why was he always thinking about others? Wasn't it a sign of looking down on him?

"Too bad," the agent sighed, putting aside the plan he had just imagined.

The Korean star sneered, "What can you do? Do you think people like them will follow your arrangements and walk the path you set? They're not the little stars under your command."

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew what kind of deals Korean stars secretly engaged in. Sending two top-tier stars who look like bosses to "serve" other bosses? It would surely lead to chaos, and who would bear the consequences?

For Laila, the airport incident was just a minor episode, already forgotten after leaving the airport.

"Boss, should I book a hotel closer to the cinema?" Demi remembered that the purpose of this trip was for Laila to watch a movie, thinking it would be better not to travel too far for it.

"No need, arrange for the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong." Laila's heart skipped a beat. It was this hotel that made her lose her favorite star in her previous life. More than once, she had imagined how nice it would be if this hotel didn't exist, then "he" wouldn't have died.

"Alright." Demi thought Laila had already researched information about Hong Kong, so without much thought, she had the guide, Hu Ze, arrange the best room in the hotel according to Laila's preference.

This relieved Hu Ze secretly. He had tagged along persistently for this task, and if he couldn't be of any help, he would have no face to meet his superiors when he returned. Fortunately, these people with Laila were all foreigners, unfamiliar with the surroundings, so he could still be useful in some ways. It saved him from feeling like a freeloader.

That night, past 10 o'clock, Laila finally stood on the balcony of the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.

The hotel was in Central, and from the balcony, she could see the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour. She couldn't help but wonder if, when "he" jumped down, he also saw the same beautiful view. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but shiver. No, she had to rewrite history; she had to save him!

"Laila." Roy walked over, draping his coat over her shoulders. "Don't stand for too long; it's a bit chilly here." He hadn't missed the shiver she just had.

Laila nodded, showing him a smile. "I know; I'll go inside in a bit."

However, Roy frowned, covering her eyes with his large hand. "If you don't want to smile, then don't. It looks ugly when you force it."

He hadn't said it, but it didn't mean he couldn't see through her heavy heart. He didn't want to see her with no spirit and vitality.

"Sorry..." Before the word 'sorry' could be said, her mouth was covered.

"Never say that word to me. I don't want to hear it from your mouth!" Roy removed his hand from her face, then embraced her, "If you have something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself. If you want to talk about it, I'm always willing to listen."

"Mmm." Laila buried her head in his chest, responding in a muffled voice. Through his clothes, she could smell the fresh scent of his shower gel and feel the warmth he continuously emanated. It was a wonderful feeling, even making her tempted for a moment to reveal everything.

But she couldn't.

Should she tell him that there would be a massive April Fool's Day prank played on everyone in the world tomorrow, and then they would return to the embrace of God?

How would she explain that she knew about this because of her rebirth?

Rebirth was the biggest secret of her life, known only to her, and there would never be a second person in the world who knew, not even him.

So, she had to keep the words in her heart, including the apology to him.

Roy didn't press her, not necessarily wanting to know what was going on. He just didn't want to see her in such a spiritless state.

"Let's go watch a movie, the one you mentioned. What was it called?"

"..." Laila suddenly realized she hadn't decided what movie to watch. After coming all the way here, if she didn't go to see that movie, even the most foolish person would notice something was wrong.

She quickly went through the movies released in 2003 in her mind, finding a suitable choice.

"It's Jon Amiel's 'The Core.' I watched his 'Entrapment' before, and it was quite good." What she didn't say was that the term "quite good" referred not to the plot but to the lead actors in that movie, Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Being in Hollywood, Roy naturally knew which movies were released, so when he heard the title, he immediately understood.

"I've also seen 'Entrapment.' Sean Connery is a good actor. I liked him playing James Bond."

"Yeah, he was the first James Bond back then. He was so young and handsome!" Laila was reminded of the memories by him. 007 was a great movie series, and she had watched every one of them, even collecting the ones considered less appealing.

Regrettably, in such a series, the female lead was mostly just a decorative presence. The only strong one was still not comparable to the male lead. While she understood that the formula of strong male lead and weak female lead was a standard in Hollywood hero movies, she believed that if the female lead could be a bit more robust, it would significantly improve the quality of the film.

Just like in "Kill Bill," after its release, the reaction clearly showed that audiences wouldn't dislike a movie just because the female lead was powerful. As long as the movie was good and entertaining, regardless of whether it was a man, a woman, or an alien, they would generously accept it.

Unfortunately, many people in Hollywood couldn't see this simple truth. They only knew that traditionally, male-led movies were more likely to get higher box office revenue. Even without looking at current movies, just comparing the income gap between male and female actors, one could see the stark reality.

Listening to her response, Roy raised his eyebrows, "Sean Connery is handsome?"

The disdainful look in his eyes clearly said, "Can anyone rival my handsomeness?"
