You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Stay Away From Edie

This beautiful woman looked pitiful with her eyes swollen and her nose red from crying. An ordinary man would have felt sorry for her and given her what she wanted. But unfortunately, Stuart was no ordinary man. Stuart felt nothing. His face was expressionless and showed no emotion at all.

"Why do you think that I should help you?"

Hicks didn’t expect that Stuart would be so cold towards her. He didn’t show one bit of sympathy for her. Stuart’s attitude was as though he was talking to someone about business.

"I..." Hicks was shocked at his tone and didn’t know what to say.

"So, why did I think that Stuart would help me? Was it that because he helped me twice already? I thought I meant something to him? Was I reading into things?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became intense. Hicks hesitated, unsure what to say, "I wasn’t sure if you could help me, but honestly I have no one else. If you refuse to help me, then I have to accept my fate."

Hicks had thought about it for quite a while before she came to see Stuart. She knew exactly the right words to use to persuade Stuart to help her. She said "refuse" rather than "can’t" and immediately concluded that whether Stuart helped her or not would depend on Stuart’s intentions.

Stuart slowly raised his head and glanced up and down at Hicks. It was as though his cold eyes were able to penetrate Hicks’s body and see through her thoughts. Seeing Stuart look at her in such a way made Hicks feel nervous. Finally, after Stuart thought about it, he said, "Okay, I will help you."

Before Hicks had a chance to say a word, Stuart continued, "But I have one request."

"Okay," She said, sounding relieved.

"Stay away from Eddie."

Hicks was stunned. She never expected that Stuart would ask for such a request.

"You and Eddie..."

Hicks wanted to ask what the relationship between Stuart and Eddie was, but just as she began to speak, she was interrupted by Stuart.

"This is not something you should ask. This is none of your business."

Hicks was embarrassed and started to feel a little uncomfortable. Her hands gradually clenched into fists. Hicks slowly moved them behind her back so no one could see them.

Hicks was so angry because, as it turns out, she means nothing to Stuart. The one who holds his heart is Eddie.

"What was it about Eddie that made her special, was she better than me? Are we both just infamous actresses? Eddie was also struggling in the entertainment circle like me, isn’t she?"

All these thoughts flashed through her mind. One after another, and for the first time, she had a vague hatred towards another person. Anna had a smirk on her face as she watched Stuart and Hicks. She had no intention of helping Hicks.

"Come on, does Hicks think Stuart is not an intelligent man. This so-called friendship was only a way for her to come and see Stuart," Anna didn’t care about Marina and the past. Even if Hicks is Marina, Anna will pretend to care, but only to keep her close so she could watch her every move.

Anna would rather Stuart disliked this woman. At least, she would have one less person to compete against. Hicks took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I will do it."

The most important thing to Hicks was to solve the current issue with her agent. She really didn’t care if she saw Eddie or not.

"Go back and wait to hear from one of the members of my staff or me."

Although it didn’t work out the way Hicks had hoped at least, she achieved her goal. Hicks said goodbye and walked out. As Hicks walked out of the reception room, she looked straight ahead. She strolled step by step.

Hicks was now determined more than ever and made up her mind. One day she would come back and stand by Stuart’s side with a different identity and status. As soon as Hicks left, Anna immediately changed her expression. She frowned at Stuart, "Stuart, how can you treat Marina like that? Do you not like her anymore?"

Stuart looked at her calmly and said, "How do you know that she is the real Marina?"

Anna was stunned by his words, "Well... The evidence indicates it. Don’t you think she is Marina?"

Stuart didn’t answer Anna. He went to the desk and dialed a number with the phone in his room. Less than two minutes later, Ivan immediately arrived, waiting for Stuart’s orders.

"Take over the cooperation contract of Hicks Days and join her into the Universe Entertainment of the L. N. Group."

Ivan had been accustomed to not asking why and immediately went to deal with the business. But Anna was not accustomed and strangely requested, "Stuart, are you going to let Hicks enter the L.N. Group? Isn’t that too impulsive?"

"Did you not just say that she is Marina, didn’t you?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"I..." Yes, that’s what she said, but Anna didn’t expect to be speechless after hearing Stuart repeat her words.

"If you are going to be part of my staff, the first lesson for you to learn is don’t question my decisions."

Anna was reluctant and said, "I’m sorry; it will not happen again."

This was Stuart, and Anna knew him well. He was ruthless and didn’t accept people questioning his motives. Anna could not understand why Stuart only had nothing but gentleness in his heart for Eddie.

Eddie finished her audition and came back to Star Entertainment to discuss her next work with Danny. When she arrived at the door of the company, she received a text message. Eddie lowered her head to read it.

She wasn’t paying attention as she was walking in and bumped into someone. She didn’t have a good grip on her phone and dropped it on the ground. Just as she was about to bend over and pick it up, someone handed it to her.

"Sorry, if it’s broken. I can buy you a new one."

The voice was quite magnetic. Then Eddie looked up and saw a man, and she was a little stunned at first. The man in front of her was more than six feet tall.

He was dressed casually in a sweatshirt and sweatpants. His facial features were so delicate that they looked impeccable at every angle. It was the most popular star appearance currently in the entertainment circle.

When he talked, there was almost a glimmer of light in his eyes. Whenever someone looked into his eyes, their heartbeat would definitely beat uncontrollably. But most importantly, it wasn’t his appearance, but Eddie knew who he was.

Clyde Jackson was one of the most popular stars in Star Entertainment. He began his career as an actor and now was busy filming idol dramas as well as releasing records. In the past three years, the sales volumes of his five albums had all exceeded one million dollars.

In the first year he debuted, he had already won the best new artist of all the famous music awards. His fans were multiplying, and his performance of the European tour was even better than King Lucas. King Lucas was a renowned singer for more than ten years.

Just recently Clyde filmed a new idol drama. It broke one of the highest records of T.V. ratings, which he set up by himself last year. He was a new high in the idol dramas market over the past ten years with lots of popularity.

He was a famous star over the recent years. No matter considering popularity or contraction, he was the top one in his fellow male actors. Clyde was so famous that when Edie saw him, the first thought flashed in her mind was to ask for an autograph!

But since Eddie was a professional actress. She struggled with the idea of asking him for an autograph and lost her courage. However, Eddie’s brain seemed to stop working because of astonishment. It didn’t seem to function too fast, so she did not answer Clyde’s question.

Clyde looked at her with interest and smiled, "Are you, Eddie Lara?
