Chapter 396 - 213: If You Like Her, Stay Away from Her
"Those aren’t dark circles! Edward, you really need to see an ophthalmologist." Lawrence Winters glared at him exaggeratedly, "Those are Lucas’s long, thick, and shiny black eyelashes, giving a natural eyeshadow effect! How many female celebrities are envious and hateful of such perfect lashes!"Lucas Harlow, speechless, watched Lawrence Winters and Edward Foster banter back and forth. He rubbed his temples and said, "I just don’t like drama. I just want to act well; it’s my interest and hobby, and I don’t want it to be complicated."
Upon hearing this, Lawrence Winters was instantly annoyed and didn’t use ’Lucas’ fond nickname anymore, correcting him, "Lucas Harlow, your way of thinking is wrong. In the entertainment circle, relying solely on hobbies means you’ll be drinking the northwest wind! Your goal is to become famous, hugely famous, to become an undisputed top star! The leading man of our NewHuman Entertainment Ltd.!"
Edward Foster listened, hurriedly glanced around, and seeing no one nearby, he said, "Lawrence, don’t say such things carelessly; Lucas isn’t the leading man of our company."
"Edward, I see your personal relationship with Lucas is pretty good. Why don’t you support him to become the leading man? Are you really Lucas’s friend?" Lawrence Winters asked pointedly.
Edward Foster gave a wry smile and glanced at Lucas Harlow.
But Lucas Harlow had no intention to explain himself.
Edward Foster had to brace himself and said, "The thing is, Lucas isn’t that interested in fame and wealth. He truly focuses on honing his acting skills. Plus, he graduated from the most famous universities abroad with a major in acting from a prestigious drama school."
"Oh wow! That’s impressive!" Lawrence Winters couldn’t help but whistle, "I knew I was right to become a fan of him! Which university did you study acting at?"
Lucas Harlow initially didn’t want to say, but since Edward Foster spilled it, he had no choice.
Not saying anything might lead to accusations of crafting a fake persona, which could backfire.
Because every star who crafted a fake persona in the entertainment circle has ended up exposed, without exception.
Lucas Harlow mentioned the name of the foreign university, and Lawrence Winters widened his eyes, "Really?! Is our Lucas that awesome?!"
Knowing Lucas Harlow was a professionally trained actor, Lawrence Winters immediately felt the nickname ’Lucas’ sounded too unpolished for the high-profile Lucas Harlow.
Thus, Lucas became "our Lucas."
Lucas Harlow’s lips slightly twitched, and he calmly said, "Why would I lie? It would unravel with a poke, what’s the point? I just wanted to say, I genuinely love acting, which is why I studied acting abroad."
"After returning to the country, being able to work with various types of directors is a stroke of good luck for me. For me, as long as there’s a role, it’s all good."
Lawrence Winters’ beautifully arched brows immediately furrowed into a knot, showing she didn’t agree with Lucas Harlow’s view.
Lucas Harlow felt a moment of unease and involuntarily changed his tune, saying, "Well, actually, Lawrence is right. Since I’m in the entertainment industry, I should aim to be famous and earn lots of money. If I didn’t want fame, why enter the entertainment industry at all?"
"That’s more like it! The purpose of fame is to make money! We mustn’t put the cart before the horse!" Lawrence Winters said, smiling broadly, pouring Lucas Harlow a glass of vegetable juice, "You finally get it!"
Edward Foster’s mouth hung open, almost unable to believe his ears!
Lucas Harlow, does he really need fame? Does he really need to make money?!
But even though Edward Foster knew everything, he couldn’t say anything, just keeping it all to himself.
This world is truly surreal!
Edward Foster for the first time understood what "the harsh lessons of society" meant...
However, this time it was he and Lucas Harlow bearing the brunt of the lesson.
And the name of this societal force wielding the whip was Lawrence Winters.
Lucas Harlow gave Edward Foster a warning glance not to mess up his act.
How could Edward Foster dare?
He was still plotting to pursue Lawrence Winters before Lucas Harlow’s true identity was revealed...
Of course, the premise was that Lawrence Winters breaks up with Kenneth Osborne first.
How to make them break up?
It was really driving him crazy.
In the following fifteen minutes, only Lawrence Winters was happily envisioning the future, full of hope for Lucas Harlow’s career.
Lucas Harlow and Edward Foster quietly ate their meal without saying another word.
After lunch, everyone returned to their office or rest area for a nap.
Lawrence Winters’ office had a folding bed.
During the lunch break, as long as she closed the office door and pulled out the folding bed, she could have a comfortable nap.
Edward Foster didn’t return to his own office; instead, he came to Lucas Harlow’s rest area.
This place was naturally more comfortable than an office because it wasn’t meant for work but for relaxation.
Lucas Harlow had no intention of napping, nor of welcoming Edward Foster.
He warily looked at him, "Do you have something to say?"
Edward Foster wiped his face and said, "Are you really planning to become famous, and earn more money?"
Lucas Harlow smirked and said, "... Don’t you want me to become famous and make more money for your company?"
"Of course not, I’d be thrilled if you wanted to become famous. It just feels strange." Edward Foster stared at Lucas Harlow, saying somewhat oddly, "Do you really listen to what Lawrence says?"
Lucas Harlow thought, the words just slipped out at the time, what could he do?
He couldn’t take those words back in front of Lawrence Winters, right?
What he said, he would uphold no matter what.
He calmly said, "It’s not about listening to her, it’s about thinking there’s logic in what she says."
Lucas Harlow looked at his watch and said, "I won’t be in the entertainment industry for much longer, leaving before making a splash makes everyone happy, doesn’t it?"
Edward Foster tensed up and said, "What’s going on? You’re still young, so are you planning to leave the industry?"
"It’s not that I want to leave; it’s just that one can’t be a celebrity forever." Lucas Harlow said lightly, "My father is getting old too. As an unfilial son, I can’t always be away from him."
Edward Foster, knowing Lucas Harlow’s complicated family situation, sympathetically nodded, "You’re also having a hard time. But your family is so complex, not suitable for someone as innocent as Lawrence Winters, so it’s better not to pursue her. If you truly like her, stay away from her."
Then he praised himself, "I’m different, my family background is simple, my mom has already said she likes well-read girls, and my dad, there’s no need to mention his approval."
Lucas Harlow looked at him placidly, just saying one thing, "Seven, or is it eight ex-girlfriends? Should I tell Lawrence about your romantic history?"
