You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Do Not Get Stuck With Your Feelings

Maybe because it was midnight, people seemed to express their deep thoughts from the bottom of their hearts. Edie was quite touched by the sincerity in Queenie’s voice.

"I thought, since you have achieved so much, you would be happy with what you have accomplished. I never expected that you, like me, would also feel exhausted."

After receiving the award for the movie queen, Queenie became the one who the company invested the most in. All she got, in the end, was more money and another chance for a movie. There was never any time for her to have a personal life, and that caused her a lot of pressure emotionally.

"Really, everything is meaningless. It can change so quickly in this industry. I could be replaced at any time."

Then, remembering the conversation she had with Sophia that she agreed to talk to Queenie for her, Edie hesitated for a second and said, "Queenie, perhaps it is none of my business, but do you mind telling me what happened between you and Sophia?" All of a sudden, Queenie had a look of shock on her face.

"Did Sophia ask you to talk to me?"

Edie acknowledged, "Yes."

"She is good at this. Do you know about our argument? If it were not you asking me about this, I would be quite upset."

"Actually, I know Sophia is up to something, but I still wanted to ask you for your opinion. After all, compared to Sophia, I am inclined to believe you."

"Before answering your question, I also want to ask you a question."

"Okay."

Staring at Edie, Queenie asked, "What’s your relationship with Stuart Yates?"

Hearing her question, Edie looked a little nervous, "We.....we are....."

She did not want to lie to Queenie, but their relationship was complicated. She did not know how to explain it to her. They have a marriage certificate, but it wasn’t a real marriage. When their arrangement was fulfilled, they would get a divorce.

They were just partners who had sex once. Then she learned everything, and he disappeared from her world. How could she explain this to Queenie when she did not even know what their relationship was.

Seeing the expression on Edie’s face, Queenie seemed to figure something out. She nodded, "Last time, when he was looking for you, I had guessed something."

After Queenie said this, Edie did not want to explain anymore to her, "Queenie, I hope you can keep this a secret for me. You know how fast news spreads in this industry."

Queenie shook her head gently and smiled, "I hope you didn’t think I was threatening or warning you. I am sure you heard lots of gossip about me?"

Edie looked confused and asked, "You mean.....?"

"I slept with some guys in exchange to get resources."

She debuted at the age of eighteen and then became famous after her first play. Then she got the award for the movie queen the following year. Some people got jealous because she achieved this too quickly.

It was said that Queenie slept with wealthy guys to get resources. Some even said that she was the leading prostitute. All the gossip sounded extremely dirty. Queenie was fortunate as she had a gorgeous appearance and excellent performance. She went further and further up the career road, and then finally, the gossip disappeared.

Queenie lowered her voice, "Actually, everything that was said about me is real."

As she raised her head, she had a look of shock on her face. She burst into laughter even though she still looked lonely and sad.

"I only sold myself to one guy. Fifty thousand dollars. For two years."

Edie did not know why Queenie told her about this so suddenly. After thinking about it, she realized something, "Todd Anderson?" Danny once said to her that Sophia got the role because of her relationship with Todd. If Queenie had some stories with Todd, then it would explain why they had some conflicts.

Queenie nodded, "You are quite smart. I think you have a gift for performing. Do not let this get in your way. If you choose the wrong way, you will lose control on your road to your future."

Edie could see the pain in her eyes as she was talking. She knew that there must have been something more than trade between her and Todd. She was just about to ask her, and someone knocked on the door.

"Miss Lara is Queenie in your room? It’s Peach." It was Queenie’s assistant coming to give her the room card. Queenie stood up, smiling, "I have talked too much tonight. Time for me to go back to my room."

Edie said gravely, "Queenie, I will remember what you said. I will seriously think about it."

She stood up to walk Queenie to the door, and before opening the door, Queenie said, "Edie, do not get stuck by your feelings. All of them have no feelings."

Then, she opened the door and walked out, leaving Edie standing in the room alone.

Returning to her room, Queenie walked on the balcony and lit a cigarette. At the sight of the smoke, she recalled a story five years ago.

At that time, she was just eighteen years old. Her father was broken. To avoid debt, her father committed suicide. Her mother could not handle it, and she got sick. Within several days, her life was totally reversed.

She had no money to pay for her father’s funeral. The hospital kept asking her for money to pay for her mother’s treatment. Her aunt became more and more mean towards her. That was when Queenie made a decision. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

She tore up the admission for college, and she got up. Then she went to the biggest nightclub in the city, Charming Night.

She arrived at six o’clock, but she was afraid to go in at first. Seeing all kinds of handsome guys and gorgeous women walking into the building, she gathered the courage and walked through the door.

Hearing that she came to get a job, the security guard at the door took a careful look at her, showing a very seductive smile and said, "Follow me, let’s go see the manager."
