Demons Beside You

Chen Zhao had a satisfying meal. Of course, he did not drink any alcohol, since he was going to drive later.

Even though Chen Zhao had a high alcohol tolerance, he knew very well that he should not drink and drive.

Moreover, he would also not drink when he still had clients to treat.

Clients would surely be unhappy to see him filled with the smell of alcohol, just like when he met Laurent last time.

Anyway, as Chen Zhao walked in the manor, he saw James and Paris again, flirting with each other.

When the two saw Chen Zhao, they stopped immediately.

“Where are you going?” James looked at Chen Zhao, clearly displeased.

“It’s none of your business.”

“It’s the main living room ahead. You can’t go in.”

“Why can’t I go in?”

“Only guests are allowed. You’re just a worker.”

“Are you the housekeeper here?” Chen Zhao asked.

James was enraged. “I’m a guest.”

“Then you’re not the owner. Who are you to care about where I go?”

“You’re just not allowed to go in. If you insist, I’ll have to ask someone to chase you out.”

Chen Zhao pushed James away. “Are you crazy?”

Paris purposely shouted, “Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to be a monkey here? It won’t do you any good.”

Chen Zhao was baffled. He did not recall offending them before.

He did not understand why they kept picking on him.

“What the f**k?” Chen Zhao walked directly toward the living room. James chased him at once.

Paris also followed them closely, thinking that Chen Zhao’s foolish action might actually be good for her.

If she managed to display herself before Rasfa and Steven, they might just remember her.

When they entered the living room, James blocked Chen Zhao again. He even deliberately raised his volume. “I said you can’t come in. What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know where this is?”

“Mr. Chen, please stop. Don’t disturb Mr. Steven and Mr. Rasfa,” Paris also said loudly.

“Are the two of you insane?” Chen Zhao turned his head and looked at Steven and Rasfa. “Steven, Rasfa, did you hire them to pick on me?”

Steven and Rasfa had also noticed the noise. Rasfa’s expression was rather weird. “Steven, did you arrange this?”

Steven looked even more stunned. “James, what are you doing?”

“Mr. Steven, this guy forced his way in. I wanted to stop him. Didn’t want him to disturb you and Mr. Rasfa.”

Steven was so angry that he threw a wine glass at James. “Scram! Chen’s our friend. We had a hard time inviting him here. What were you doing?”

James was astonished, so was Paris.

Chen Zhao sat down beside the two and said to the beauties beside them, “Excuse me.”

The two ladies moved away. Rasfa and Steven did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Chen, I’m sorry, he’s one of my assistants. He probably thought that you work here.”

“Do I look like a worker? Rasfa, be honest.”

“To be frank, you really do. Why did you dress up so casually?”

“You didn’t tell me to dress up. When Steven called me, I was strolling on the street. I came here only for the free meal and to chat with you.”

Steven glanced at James and Paris who were still standing at the door. “You two, come here.”

“Mr. Steven.” The two quickly walked up like two kids who had just done something wrong. They stood before Steven, not daring to sit down.

“James, can you explain why you wanted to provoke Chen?”

James faltered a few words and could not explain himself.

Clearly, he could not tell Steven that he had wanted to pick a pushover and show off before Paris.

James thought about it and finally said, “Paris accidentally hit Mr. Chen’s car today. I… I wanted to speak up for her…”

Steven glanced at Paris in disgust.

James was shoving the responsibility onto Paris. Steven of course thought that Paris was the one who had instigated James to start the conflict.

Paris could not regret more. If she had known that Chen Zhao knew Steven and Rasfa, she would have asked him for help. It was obvious that Chen Zhao had more power than James.

James did not even dare to speak before Steven and Rasfa.

However, Chen Zhao was talking to the two like they had equal status.

“Chen, look at you. Why must you drive that cheap car? Just take a car from my garage,” Rasfa said.

“I don’t plan to change it. My car is great.”

Chen Zhao felt that cars were only tools for transportation.

Apart from functioning properly, he only needed his car to be big enough.

Rasfa only had sports cars and luxurious cars in his garage, which were not suitable for Chen Zhao at all.

Nevertheless, Chen Zhao now had Princess and her two kids. He indeed planned to change to a bigger car.

Chen Zhao lifted his head and realized that Paris and James were still before them.

“Are you not leaving?”

“Chen… I’m sorry…” Paris could do nothing but apologize, hoping that it would redeem Chen Zhao’s poor impression of her.

“It’s fine.” Chen Zhao did not intend to blame them further.

“Also…” Paris looked at Chen Zhao anxiously. She was worried that she would lose her role as the body double.

“What?”

“I… I’m the body double for the female lead in Mr. Steven’s movie…” Paris thought that she might as well be direct, since she could not change what she had done.

“Oh, you’re the double for Yafen.”

“Chen, what do you think? You should be the right person to ask. After all, you recommend Yafen to me and you two also had a story in the past.”

“I think she’s fine. It’s your movie, I won’t make any decision.”

“Alright. Since you said so, I’ll use her,” Steven said.

When Paris heard that the female lead of Steven’s new movie had actually been recommended by Chen Zhao, she regretted even more.

If she knew it the first time she met Chen Zhao, she would have pushed him into the restroom by force.

She had actually missed such a golden opportunity.

If I can date him… No, even if I just have sex with him, he will at least give me a supporting role!

“Thank you, Mr. Steven, Chen.”

“Chen, let’s go out to the sea and play one day. What do you think?” Rasfa suggested.

“I’ll think about it. You know that I’ve been bothered by the construction of my new house.”

“When will it be ready?”

“Less than two months.”

“Great. When I finish my new movie, we’ll go together.”
