Chapter 433 No Pushover
"Slap!"
A crisp sound sounded.
Lucia heard the sound, her eyes were tightly closed, but there was no pain on her face as expected.
Feeling the silence around her, she snapped open her eyes and saw the tall figure in front of her.
"It's okay now."
Hearing that male voice with a smile, Lucia looked up and saw a familiar handsome face.
Surprisingly, it was Jonathan! Her body tightened and she said in a surprised voice, "How come you're here?"
Jonathan smiled lightly, his facial features looked like they were from a painting.
"Passing by"
Saying that, he turned his head back and looked at Jeanne who froze, slightly raising his eyebrows, and his tone became mocking.
"Lady, you're being a little too rude, aren't you?"
"Lady?"
Jeanne had not yet recovered from the sudden appearance of Jonathan when she heard him call her lady.
Immediately, her face darkened.
At this moment, Jonathan's assistant came forward, looked at Jonathan's beaten arm, and asked with worry and concern, "Jonathan, are you okay?"
Jonathan frowned, his face pretending to be aggrieved.
"Now that you mention it, this lady is quite strong.It actually hurt me quite a lot.How about we go for a check up at the hospital?"
As he said that, he turned to look at Lucia deliberately.
Jeanne was dumbfounded.She did not expect Lucia would know Jonathan, moreover did not expect him to say such words.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you just now.If you want to do a checkup, then do one."
Jonathan smiled but didn't say anything when he heard that.
The assistant next to them heard Jeanne say such, she was already dissatisfied with Jeanne, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jeanne.
"Do you know what kind of doctor will be giving Jonathan an examination.How dare you hit him? You've injured our star, delayed our schedule, you not only have to pay the cost of the examination, but also a variety of commercial performances, activity fees, and breach of contract as well!"
Jeanne's face darkened when she heard this.
"You...are you trying to blackmail me?"
The assistant retorted, "What do you mean blackmail? Why don't you let the passersby judge who is right and who is wrong?"
As soon as Jeanne heard that, she suddenly became abashed.
Who didn't know that Jonathan fans were everywhere. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
If Jonathan's fans knew that she hit Jonathan, Jeanne would probably be overwhelmed by his fans..
Jeanne glared at Lucia with anger and said coldly, "Then do the examination, no matter how much it costs, I'll pay."
"Forget the checkup, I don't need this money from you."
Jonathan looked at Jeanne with a lazy gaze, but his tone was a little cold.He stretched out his hand, pulled Lucia to his side and said, "Apologize.Apologize to her first, then apologize to me."
Lucia on the side was a little surprised as she looked at the man next to her.
At this moment Jonathan was like a cynical rich son, arrogant, unrestrained, very bad, yet charming.
Jeanne's voice became hoarse.She was naturally reluctant to apologize.Her anger just now had not yet subsided.She just couldn't bring herself to apologize to Lucia at this moment.
"If you refuse, than how about calling the police to deal with it?" asked Jonathan as he looked up.
"This side should be monitored, I do not believe that there is reason to hit people these days."
The assistant next to him, immediately obediently took out her cell phone and made the gesture of dialing a number.
Jeanne instantly wimped out and hurriedly said, “I...l apologize!"
Saying that, she glanced at Lucia, suppressing the discontentment and jealousy in her heart, clenching her fist and dropping her eyes.
"I'm sorry Without waiting for Lucia to say anything, Jonathan spoke first.
"I don't feel your sincerity."
That one sentence made Jeanne wanting to explode.
But after a few seconds, she still calmed down, took a deep breath and apologized respectfully to Lucia.
"I'm sorry."
Then, she apologized to Jonathan again, and only then were things settled.
Jonathan's assistant had secretly taken the video, before Jeanne left, she did not forget to remind her, "Be good in the future, or I'll post this video on the internet."
Jeanne was furious, but there was nothing she could do in front of Jonathan, so she could only force a smile and leave quickly.
Watching Jeanne leave, Lucia finally smiled and looked at Jonathan.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at giving someone a hard time."
Jonathan hooked his lips and smiled.He then put on his face mask.
Even though his face was covered up, but it still could not stop the pleasure in his tone.
"Of course, I can't bear see you being bullied."
He suddenly stretched out his hand, lifted Lucia's chin, looked at the red marks on her face, frowned and said, "Say, have you always been so weak when you were bullied?"
Lucia took out a tissue and wiped her face, and said softly, "It's nothing, I'll treat you to coffee as a thank you."
"Treat me?"
Jonathan couldn't help but say, "Then do you know that this cafe, is owned by my cousin."
Of course Lucia didn't know.She looked at him with surprise.
"Why else do you think I'm here? Alright, there are too many people here, I'll take you to a place, let's get something to eat."
Lucia nodded, followed him, and they left the cafe together.
Soon, they arrived at an exquisitely decorated but remote restaurant, and when they arrived at the private room, Jonathan ordered a pot of tea and poured a cup for Lucia, before saying, "Tell me, what's going on between you and that woman?"
This had been the question that Jonathan had been wanting to ask all this time.
Lucia took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then told him everything that happened in the crew.
Jonathan listened, kept smiling but did not say anything, in the end, he probed, winked at her and said, "How about, show me the part of the short film that you have shot, I will see if I know anyone on my side to come to your rescue."
Now that Tamzin is gone, no matter what, they would have to find someone else to take her place.
After giving it some thought, Lucia borrowed Jonathan's assistant's phone, logged into her account, and found some video clips that she had directed earlier.
This was still the original film without editing and post-production, and was only a small part.
Lucia didn't expect after seeing only a few clips, Jonathan was able to tell the theme and the message that the film was trying to say clearly.
Lucia took a deep breath and looked at Jonathan with more admiration in her eyes.
"You have it bang on."
Jonathan hooked his lips and smiled, "Okay, let me pick the actors, I'll make sure you're satisfied, and, if you want to improve the efficiency of filming, I also have an idea..."
The two reached a consensus.
During the meal, they were talking and laughing.
They chatted a lot and it was very pleasant.
Lucia also did not expect that she was able to find out that Jeanne was behind all the trouble Tamzin was causing.
Neither did she expect to bump into Jonathan, who helped her solve her biggest headache.
When Lucia walked out of the restaurant, Jonathan put on his hat and mask.
He had his face fully covered, and sent her to the intersection.
Lucia was just about to get out of the car when he yanked her.
"Lucia, in the future, if you are bullied and can't handle it by yourself, you have to tell me, understand?"
As Jonathan said those words, he took a look at the Band-Aid on Lucia's face and frowned slightly.
Those words made Lucia's heart feel warm and she smiled at him.
"I know, don't worry."
She felt quite lucky to be friends with Jonathan.
At this time, Jonathan's voice rang out again.
"By the way, that woman today, she’s no pushover, you should be careful."
