Veronica set up her phone so that she would receive a missed call message for all the calls she didn’t pick up. Her phone buzzed for a whole minute before stopping. She rubbed her temple as she looked at the hundreds of messages. “Why are there so many texts?”
“That’s a given since your friends couldn’t get to you for three months.” Matthew said, “These are all people that genuinely care about you.”
“I don’t even know how I’m going to explain this to them.” Even though she had returned safely, her friends and family would surely demand answers from her regarding the three months that she disappeared.
Just as Veronica was about to call Tony and Daniella, Larry’s call came in. She didn’t save his number, so she didn’t know who the call was from. So, she answered the phone, “Hello? Who-“>
But before she asked, a bellow came through the phone, “Where the hell have you been? Have you gone mad?!”
Veronica recognized that familiar voice to be Larry’s. She couldn’t help but laugh, “Crazy? Haha. It’s been a long time. How have you been?”
“What do you mean how I’ve been? I’m asking you where you went. I tried to contact you for so long. If your friends hadn’t told me that you had gone off for training in a secluded location, I would have thought you were dead!”
Larry shouted into the phone, unlike the calm and poised image he held on the screen and in the hearts of his fans.
However, Veronica laughed at his frustrated yelling, “Don’t be angry. If your fans know that you’re like this, they would probably lose all interest in you.”
“Who cares?!” Larry snorted as he gradually calmed down. Then, he changed the topic. “Do you remember the movie you filmed with me a year ago?”
Veronica was visiting Larry at the set, but the director noticed that she had good martial arts skills. So, he asked her to act as a minor character to fight with one of the big stars in a fighting scene. Then, Veronica nodded. “Yeah. I remember. Why?”
“The date of the movie release is confirmed. It’s the day after tomorrow.” Larry spoke with pride, “The director praised you several times and even told me he wanted you to join in his other movies. But I couldn’t get a hold of you, so I didn’t give him a straight answer.”
“Really?” “Of course.” he was a little proud. “When have lied to you?” As he was speaking, his assistant’s voice could be heard in the background, “Quick. It’s your turn.”
So, Larry rushed to end the call. “Okay. That’s it. I’ve got to go. I’m currently filming a show. Remember to watch the movie!”
“Okay. Thank you.” Beep. Beep. Beep. Just as Veronica thanked him, he had already ended the phone. She held the phone in her hand as she recalled what happened at the set with Larry and couldn’t help but smile.
“Larry called you?” Matthew guessed. “Yeah. He called me to tell me that the sci-fi movie I took part in is set for release. It’ll be out the day after tomorrow.” “That’s great. Congratulations!” Matthew congratulated her genuinely before asking.
“What’s the movie’s name?”
“Interstellar’.”
“Good name.” He nodded in approval. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Pinewoods Villa. Veronica went to check on her babies while Matthew went to work in the study.
However, the moment he stepped into the study, he gave Thomas a call. “Young Master Matthew, Thomas at your service,” Thomas greeted him.
Matthew leaned back into the office chair and asked, after pondering, “Is the movie ‘Interstellar’ doing its presale now?”
