Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 249 Annoyed

" Oh, Miss Julia, I didn't expect you to see you here. I am thankful for the compliment, but should you stop it now that you are married?" Seeing Samuel taking with her casually confused everyone.

" Oh, don't mention it. I can't believe the cute kid who used to follow me around has not already grown so tall!"

" Hey! I never followed you around, 'Aunty'! As a senior, wasn't that your responsibility to look after a junior actor?"

" Ouch! Never thought I will be heard hearing you say it. Give me back my cute Sami!"

While they talked back and forth, Liliana, Rosaline, and Hye-sun were confused. One more than the others as she didn't understand a single thing, but looking at how close they were, Hye-sun was having doubts about her earlier assessment of Samuel.

" Sister, I think they are talking about the movie they worked on together." The agent was a little better than she explained.

" What? But I have never even heard about it. Don't you think it is strange? With his looks, he must be famous in Hollywood."

" I agree. Fortunately, we got acquainted with such a person."

On the other hand, Liliana was dumbfounded when she learned that Samuel was an actor. Now that she thought about it, she hardly knew anything about him besides that he was from the Rothschild family.

" Rosa, did you know about it?"

" Eh, no, I thought you met him first. You also work in the entertainment industry; you must have heard about it, right?"

" I haven't!" She moved over to him and asked directly.

"Hey, Samuel, you never told me you were an actor."

" I almost forgot! Who are these pretty ladies you were hanging around? Looking at you all here really makes me age conscious."

" Somehow, I don't believe you. These are my companions, Rosaline and Liliana, and the lady there is an actress from Korea, Koo Hye-sun. We just met at the entrance."

"Hello, everyone; my junior has great taste in women! You all look very pretty today!" Getting an honest compliment from a superstar made their hearts flutter. Who didn't know Julia Roberts in the USA?

They exchanged words before she moved to Hye-sun," Miss Koo, Hello." She extended a friendly hand.

"Ah, hello, Ms Julia." Koo Hye-sun was still in shock now. She never dreamt of meeting Julia Roberts when she came to the party; what's even madder was she was approaching her so casually.

It also made her look at Samuel in a different light; did someone like her come to meet him on her own?  As he stated, it seemed that this new acquaintance kid really had some pull here.

" Leaving Miss Koo, you seem pretty involved with the other two. Am I right?"

" What? Are you a detective now?"

" Am I wrong, girls?" she asked them.

" Well..."

" Um, I, umm...." Both of them were embarrassed by her sudden blatant questioning. They couldn't admit it in public, could they?

" Wow, you both are so cute! Sami, I love them! If you hurt them, humph, don't blame them for being cruel!" She held their hand and proclaimed loudly.

" Wait! Hold on! You don't even know them; it's hardly been five minutes since you met them!" He was reminded of her carefree and spontaneous nature.

" Did you forget the first time we met? They remind of you at that time!"

" Miss Julia, I am also curious about it." Liliana posed the question.

" Don't tell me; he didn't tell you yet. Geez, kid being mysterious is one thing, but this is too much."

" I just don't get time to get around it."

" What are they saying?" Hye-sun asked her agent.

" I don't fully understand it, but it is definitely something about Mr Samuel."

" Didn't you girls know about Harry Potter? Doesn't he look familiar now that I mention it?" Julia gave them an oblivious hint.

" Harry Potter? Samuel.... Sam Moore! Oh my god! Are you really him?" Liliana, as actor Sam fantastic, exclaimed loudly upon realization.

" Was I really hanging around Sam this whole time? I can't believe we also did.." She thought about the last few days with him and started to blush heavily.

" What? Tell me too! I don't get it." Rosaline seeing her strange behaviour asked.

" I wanted to tell you about it slowly, but I am the lead in the Harry Potter franchise." He should have told them sooner, but boasting was never his strong suit.

"..." Rosaline was silent.

" It's not like I wanted to keep it a secret from you. We never got to the talking stage, you know." He was not to blame, as they had only been fooling around without a care.

" I understand." Her reaction was mild. She was just so mind-blown and needed some time before it hit her!

" What! Really?" right at that moment, Koo Hye-sun made a fuss from the side. It was much louder, and some guests also took notice.

" I will be grateful if you don't share it with anyone." Samuel reminded her.

" Yes, I can't believe I failed to notice it." Hye-sun was not a novice when it came to the franchise. Even in South Korea, many people were enamoured with the series.

" Julia, so this is where you are! I have been looking for ages." A man about the same height as Julia interrupted them.

"Mr Moder, I am glad to see you here, but please tell your wife to not bully my companions!" Samuel recognized him instantly. The man was Julia's husband; they had met a couple of times.

" Oh, Samuel was here too! Was she doing it again? I am sorry for her behaviour."

" You are taking this kid's side? I only looked after these cute girls; they must not fall for his charming looks!" She fiercely glanced toward her husband.

? " Why, thank you, miss Julia, but I think you should leave now! I will take it from here."

" Hump, alright. But remember our promise! I can be persistent when I hold a grudge."

" I am aware of your 'motherly' instincts. You should look into adopting a dog.

" This cheeky kid-"

" Come on, let's go! I don't know why you become so childish when talking to him. Wasn't it you who barged in on them?"

" You-"

They soon left while others were dumbfounded by witnessing Samuel skillfully annoy her with his words. How could a thirty-five-plus woman fight with a kid and lose? But Why were they fighting in the first place?

With so many questions left in their head, they were hardly ready for the next person who approached them.
